4x4 Colorado

[Chris]

Those of you who have been around here a long time will recall how this forum changed frequently when I was at the helm. I'm sure the majority are happy that current and previous admin's don't have the time or inclination to do that sort of thing. :D

I have a lot of free time and still enjoy messing with websites and found 4x4colorado.com domain name wasn't being used so I picked it up as my current "project." It will not interfere or complete with Front Range 4x4 in any way whatsoever and I really don't have any plan in mind.

With that being said I'd appreciate some beta testing from you folks to see what does and doesn't work. If you have a bit of free time yourselves please give it a try. Currently I'm working on image uploads and automatic resizing which works to some degree.

Here's the site - http://4x4colorado.com

Thanks to anyone willing to give it a try! :bowdown:

Cannot create an account because captcha is not configured.
Same problem here.

[Chris]

That's good to know! I'll see about fixing that a sap. Thanks!

[Chris]

Captcha is now configured, I think. :reface:

Thanks again...

[FINOCJ]

The Captcha seems to be working now, but there is some sort of security question: What is 4x4?

[Chris]

4x4=16 - another way to keep registration bots at bay. ;)

[FINOCJ]

Ha! - not how I was interpreting that question! got it now.

[Chris]

I see why it confused you, I'll change it! This is the kind of stuff that I easily overlook, thanks James.

Joined but never received a confirmation email. Asked to send again still didn't arrive. Checked my mail server and it did not get filtered.

[Chris]

Thanks Tom, I'll look into it since a few people were able to register. Must be a mail issue.

[Jim]

Could the host you're on be at odds with the mail server Tom's using - realtime block list issue?

Anyone else that recently registered have the same domain as Tom's e-mail?

[Chris]

That's always a possibility, I'll see what I can find.

[javaman34]

I joined up, but still waiting for the confirmation email. Under the name of Cosmo.

[Tom]

They would not have the same domain as my email. My domain is crosman.org. Double checked mac.com (cxs@mac.com) and nothing from there hit my mail server. I white listed your email then tried my gmail acct. Got the email on it. Tried a resend on my crosman.org and now get it too.

All is good as far as setting up an acct. Think it didn't send previously cause now I see it on my server tracking app.

[BLOODBANE]

Joined up, got the e-mail,now says my password is incorrect. tried to have it sent too me and it says cannot be found

[Chris]

Sorry about that Mark, I was just going to post that thanks to those of you who tested it I've concluded the software was junk. I'll be going to a different one when I get a chance. I have the basic setup showing now but I have it closed until I get around to finishing it up enough for testing.

I'll update after I make progress.

Thanks to all who gave it a try!

[Rick]

joined,logged in,logged out....no problems

[Chris]

Nice to see Rick. I got past my frustration of this morning, tried a different forum and went back to the same one. It's a good thing I like to mess with this stuff because every add-on needs work due to updates. I'll be happy when I can get the gallery working.

[Fordguy77]

I honestly miss they mayhem at sometimes. I'll have to check it out.

[Geno]

Joined last night, got a return email, I think all is well.

[Chris]

Thanks for the testing folks!

I've abandoned that forum and am on to something else that will probably take a while to set up, etc.

With any luck I'll have something new for you to test sometime in the future.

[Jim]

Well, when Aaron can get into the vBulletin account so we can re-download a copy, you can play with that on a test forum!

[Chris]

That's the plan, it would be great to get those few glitches taken care of!

[Aaron]

Sorry guys. Been crazy. Chris. Did you get my emails?

[Chris]

Sure did, thanks so much. Now we'll be able to set up a test forum and figure out how to fix the yellow box errors, etc.

Much appreciated!

[Jim]

Thanks Aaron for the work!

Thanks Chris for the continued work!

[Jim]

A test site, copied from the live site as of last evening, is set for Chris (and perhaps me) to work with. For now, it is not being announced for members to look at / test / use. It gives Chris something good to see about resolving the issue with yellow box one-day-off and perhaps site stability.

[Chris]

4x4 Colorsdo is live again with different software. It would be nice if a few of you would give it a try. Registration is simple - fill out the form, respond to the email and you're in.

This is version should work equally well on any device - desktop, laptop, tablet, phone, etc. I don't own a phone so I'm interested in hearing how that works.

If you register please post an intro. Photos don't need resizing and are uploaded using drop & drag. Pretty cool IMHO.

Thanks in advance. :thumb:

My status : Account awaiting approval.

Can log in and read. Cannot post.

[Chris]

Approved, I'll see about removing that. Thanks!

Admin approval removed.

[Java]

added it to my favorites, I'll check it out later when I have more time. :thumb:

[javaman34]

Still not getting the confirmation email.

Still not getting the confirmation email.

There were two requiring approval which I did manually. I'm not sure why the email isn't going through. I suspect Jim was right earlier when he mentioned your server/host may being blocked. I'll look into it.

This is beta so there are bugs to work out.

Mail went through for mine.

[Chris]

I saw that which is why Jim's comment makes sense. I'll wait for more feedback as I make small changes to see if it's a glitch or just a fluke.

How about doing an intro with photo again Tom? Sorry that I lost your previous...

[Rick]

waiting approval

[Fireball]

Not sure which software you are running but there are lots to choose from.
Xoops and Drupal are both fun to dive into. Adding modules like Gallery are easy once the framework is setup.
Good luck with it :)

[Chris]

This is codoforum, very beta! I messed with Xoops - didn't like it. Haven't looked at Drupal though.

[Chris]

waiting approval

The settings aren't sticking but I approved you Rick. You got the registration email though which is a good thing!

Thanks for the testing folks, I appreciate it! :bowdown:

I have officially opening http://4x4colorado.com for public use. If anyone cares to use it please do so and provide your input on what you'd like to see on the forums. This is a design with mobile devices in mind and is intended for that use. It does work fine on desktops and laptops of course.

It's probably the most efficient forum around for uploading photos, adding video, etc.

This will not compete or interfere with Front Range 4x4 in any way.

I look forward to some of your input and participation as I get things rolling. :thumb:

[Chris]

4x4 Colorado is back online. I really like the software I started with and after some initial problems I've worked out the bugs and have added some functions that it was previously lacking that it really needed.

Since so many of us access websites via various devices I think having a site designed for mobile devices makes more sense than using intermediary apps or not being able to use a website because it's designed for desktop computers. While it may have a small learning curve I think the functionality will please users.

The intent here is to have an easy to use, fast & efficient forum for all of Colorado. It certainly does not to compete with Front Range 4x4. If you have room in your days for another 4x4 forum check it out.

[Tom]

i go to login and it says my email has not been confirmed. Tell it to resend confirmation email and it never arrives. Checked my email server and it was not filtered as spam. It never hit my server.

[Chris]

Shades of the past Tom? Sounds like post #11 from a while back.

Manually approved.

[Chris]

:lmao: Okay, so you folks didn't like my cutting edge forum so I switched to a more conventional one. It's still responsive so it will work on phones & tablets.

[Heather]

Looks like I missed all the initial testing fun. Signed up! Cool!

[Chris]

Thanks Heather! You're the first to actually register so thanks for the kick start, now maybe others won't be so reluctant themselves! :thumb:

[xaza]

I went ahead and registered and posted up intro. Not to be a grammar nazi or anything but there should only be 3 T's in etiquette :)

But I like T's!

I'll fix it now. Jackie found a misspelling too :redface:

[Jackie]

You're doing great Chris. Your friends here will not let you down!

[Chris]

Thanks, time will tell if it reaches a larger group of people around the state Jackie!

Oops, yeah thanks!

[Chris]

I decided to spend some of my abundant free time doing something productive. I chose to work with this forum software again and believe I have it wrapped up. It's much improved over previous versions so if you're inclined to give it a try that would be great. If not that's fine too! :thumb:
