Odeon: Proboards has just been funky in general for me lately. I hope we don't lose a lot of stuff one day. It may be worth eventually having a separate forum for results, or for the MR. The old zoho registry was good because it was offsite

Odeon: and not "owned"/reliant on a single member (though Sacha did most of the MR stuff)

Odeon: I don't think proboards was ever expecting things like SIM games (and RP servers) to be so massive on their sites and have this amount of threads

Odeon: In any case, I'm not getting error messages now, which is a relief lol

shan: I get those messages when I've been on site for too long Odeon. Then I take a fiveish minute break and it generally clears up.

Tina: This is a wild idea but has anyone considered putting the registry in Discord? It would be a huge undertaking to transfer it but I use Discord for most social things at this point and you can organize it really nicely with forum channels!

Tina: Wouldn't work for results sadly since there's text limits... but it would be more reliable to search for horses lmao.

Tina: I guess no coding for the pedigrees would be another downside, but we could always screenshot and paste them in... I dunno, just trying to think how to modernize storage!

Lori: Not a fan of moving things unless absolutely necessary. I'm too old to learn new stuff....

Lin - Hidden Star Farm: I forgot that I changed the color theme on my forum. Just logged in and was really confused

Jennifer: Looks like there were loads of Support requests on the 18th/19th about upstream connect errors. Not sure what the issue was, but looks like the IT guys resolved it pretty quickly.

Jennifer: From what I can gather, we're not in any danger of Proboards shutting down. They have millions of users and Lord knows how many millions of forums. Apparently within the first 3 years of PB being online, they had 1 million unique users and by the 4th year,

Jennifer: 1 million forums were active. That was apparently 2003/2004. I'm curious how many there are now 😅 I also don't believe ours is anywhere near the largest, though we may be one of the oldest forums that is still active

Jennifer: I think we switched to Proboards in April 2003 (judging by Megan & Chelsea's forum registration dates).

Jennifer: Just finished a pretty intense week with 3 big tests. My brain feels like jello

Jennifer: The forum should have been re-indexed earlier this week. Any more problems with Search?

Bexley: Ughhh what a rough week! I spent almost all my free time studying so now that the Italian exam is over and I only have one class tomorrow that I already did the reading for I'm not letting myself do a single school thing tonight after a much needed nap LOL
