Board upgrade and fixes


Admin

Recommended Posts

Dearest members of this little (pen) nut house on the digital prairie,

 

It gives us pleasure to announce that the upgrade to the next version of the forum software has been successful, and that we have been able to fix several issues we were experiencing, amongst those an image attachments fix. It also looks like the dreaded Driver Error problem (a database connection timeout problem) has been mitigated to a very large degree. You should see much less of those biggrin.gif.

 

Enjoy!

 

Warm regards,

I like the image of a digital prairie with a (pen)nut house! Thanks again for all the work you put in to put the nut house in order.

Hurray! Thanks so much for your work with this board, and it's great that we can attach images again. Since I don't belong to an image hosting site, I've really missed this feature.

 

Thanks again!

Thank you everyone! Not having FPN during the upgrade was very dangerous--I went browsing on eBay.

I keep coming back to my Esterbrooks.

He will probably slap my hand for doing this, but...

 

You can give a big thanks :clap1: to our chief IT wizard, Wimg (Wim). He was the mastermind behind this whole upgrade. :notworthy1:

 

 

Thank you, Wim!! :thumbup:

I just got one too; I was posting at the same time as another member, I found, IOW, it was a database timeout that caused this.

 

I'll check if anything can be done about that (apart from a rewrite of the entire board software).

 

At least it doesn't just happen because it is very busy.

 

BTW, it has nothing to do with any supported browser or computer platform. I tpurely is a timeout problem. Timeout problems can be caused by many things, and it seems most we have been able to get rid of with the latest finetuning; I don't know however, whether finetuning can resolve this for two persons writing to the database (almost) simultaneously in the same thread. I'll have a look.

 

Warm regards, Wim

well, I don't know about everyone else, but I was just completely blocked out of the site by driver errors for a couples minutes. No amount of refreshing helped.

 

Thanks so much for your hard work. I know this has got to be frustrating.

I got a database error that closed me out of the entire site while I was on less than an hour ago. I was looking at a post and tried to go back to the homepage and zap! After that nothing until now. But hey, I'm back on! :thumbup:

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
