Re: Can we migrate this forum to a modern forum? I'm tired of the broken pages.

Honestly, not much capacity at all. It's just me and I am in no way a web developer or webmaster. Just a simpleton Arkansas mountain biker that somehow figured out how to get this forum up 10 years ago.

I know the broken pages are annoying... and I am sorry about that... I do try to fix them immediately when they pop up so please do let me know.. I really appreciate it. I do have plans to upgrade to the latest SMF version to fix little issues like that but I'm sorry to disappoint anyone but there are no plans to "modernize" the forum in any way. No desire to have some modern mobile-friendly, super slick, dark mode interface. Chinertown will remain old-school looking with zero ads and zero optimizations for Google search. My main goal going forward is to keep AI out of the forum as much as possible. That's just my jam but I do understand if it isn't for everyone.

That said, I am certainly open and interested to hear everyone's input/advice/ideas and really appreciate it.

Yeah, I hope I didn't give the wrong impression - this forum is awesome and I'm thankful that it's here and free and no ads and all that!  My original post was mostly about the broken pages - good to know I can reach out to you when it happens. 

If you're interested, I could maybe spare some time to see if I could safely upgrade it to a later version of the same forum with minimal risk - though it's always scary trusting an internet stranger/volunteer.  Presumably the fresh one would have fewer bugs/broken pages but with the same feel but would want to confirm that too.

I meam I'm new here (his is my first post), but it would be great if there was thread page navigation, jump to latest post when entering threads and at a push a better search function.  But look and feel of the forum (as an oldie) is all good by me...  8)

Welcome to the forum.

You can jump to the latest post in the thread by clicking the little orange "new" button next to the thread title.

Welcome to the New Server... If you're seeing this, you are on the new host/server.

Unfortunately, approximately the last 48 hours worth of posts were lost. Sorry about that.. it was planned to be like 12 hours tops and then little unexpected things kept popping up delaying going live with the new server. Definitely a learning experience.

The positive side is that Chinertown is now on a (hopefully!) faster, more reliable, modern server. The SMF version has also been updated to 2.0.19 so we will see if the broken pages, slow downs, and error messages are fixed or not.

Hope this all goes well!
