    I've started to test the latest version of our site software, and it's looking good!

    Everything is looking a lot more intuitive, and I'm seeing fewer steps to accomplish some tasks, like uploading images.

    So we may do an upgrade later this week.

    Keep checking this thread for updates, as there may be significant downtime while the upgrade is done.

    I'm pretty ok with what we have...not because it's so awesome or that what he had before was so much worse. It's kind of like....going through a house move, getting settled in and then having to move again...but with less boxes and nobody has to rent a van...except maybe Skip.

    I may need to delay the upgrade a bit to work on a new design and tweak it b4 going live.

    So probably next week it'll happen.

    Next couple of days I have something else to attend to...

    I'm getting an android tv box with KODI, so that will take sometime to setup.

    Can't wait for both upgrades! :)

    I'll post a thread about the KODI system if there isn't one yet...

    I posted up an article on the homepage about the KODI system, as all I could find on HF was a rather technical thread about KODI and ubuntu.

    Anyway that's off topic. :)

    I think it is essential that we get some kind of reputation system again. The general quality of threads has gone way down. Also, chat needs to work properly on the Mac.

    i don't really think reputation will have anything to do with thread quality. it's not like there was a minimum rep requirement to create a thread or anything.

    although on a related subject, i really really wish they would bring back the minimum number of posts to send a private message. i like my hot girl avatar, but i'm going to have to change it before my inbox fills up with no-post perverts who think every attractive girl on the internet will drop her panties at the words "i'm a complete stranger, wanna have sum fun?"

    ^^^well if i didn't know any better...you do make it a little confusing with your user name and a picture like that. it is bound to draw some attention from the love and sex crowd.



    a lot of my old threads didn't survive the last site change-over. i wonder if a bunch of posts will get left behind again?

    yeah, i understand where the confusion comes from. i just wish they still had to post a few times before they could creep on our women via PM, whether those women be myself or actual women. most of them never bother to make a single post, so if they had to make, say, 20 before they could message people, i think that would eliminate 90% of the problem.

    hell, if i only got 10% of the creepy messages that i do now, it would actually be entertaining rather than annoying.

    I want the 'down thumb' back. Or the red-green ball system.

    I'm also tired of not knowing the gender of a person when they are talking about sex. It's so confusing. I think gender should be visible near the avatar, unless the person opts out.
