  1. Have to suggest the recount/rebuild thing again. That's the only thing I can think of that would fix this. Not 100% sure, but that's my guess.
  2. One thing to remember, is that TRF is a huge database. Lots of processes/protocols to go through as far as the database is concerned. The only real thing I can think of, is 73, if you didn't run the "recount and rebuild" function, I would suggest that also. Do this for all posts, pictures, etc. I did see that my sig pic is overflowing into the board border. Running the function to rebuild the pictures will auto resize the pictures so everything fits. It will also remove orphaned photos, etc. The end point to all this is, cleaning up the board so it runs faster, albeit a bit faster. You will have to shut the board down to do this, and with the size of TRF, it will take about 24 to 36 hours (my guess). It's an intensive board process. If you did do this, then nevermind. (hee hee hee)
  3. 73, please allow me to chime in wherever I can... I have like, experience with the new board format and stuff. default/smile.png Links work totally different than before. You don't type in the links in a pop-up box anymore. You just type the link. Also, for youtube, you just post the link of the video file. You do have to enable this, but that's how it works over at CP. Pretty seemless. If this feature is not enabled, I would maybe if I could, suggest this. It makes life much easier all around. Absolutely, please chime in anytime you see something you think you know the answer to. Thank you! Probably the easiest thing to fix as of this precise moment, is the smiley's. Double check the path of your "uploads" folder. ACP/System Settings/General Configuration.
  4. As for the quotes being jacked, it's not 73's fault. It was an issue with one of the upgrades. The reason this probably took so long, and this is just a guess, is because when anyone using Invision Power Board upgrades the board, you just don't jump from one version that you're using to the one you want to go to. You have to go through each and every instance of an IPB Board. So my guess is that 73 had to download every version of IPB, or the upgrade contacted IPB's servers, and forced him to go to each release to upgrade. That takes a long time considering that TRF was on Version 1.x, and IPB is up to version 3.3.x. Getting back to the quotes, the same thing happened to CP. One of the upgrades totally went haywire, as the quote engine was not correct in the board code. They tried to fix this, but to no avail (if my memory serves me correctly.) From IPB 3.x on, the quotes were fine. When you quote a post made before today, you'll probably see the messed up quotes. If you quote a post from today, the quotes will work fine. Again, not 73's fault. It's with the board software itself.
  5. Ok. I see that the links aren't appearing. It's just an admin setting I'm very sure. Just take your time to look through all the different settings, and the new layout for you in the Admin Control Panel. You'll get the hang of it, and we can wait until you get all the bugs worked out. Give me a ring if you need any help.

Care to give us any hints on what the new board will hold in store for us? As long as it is nothing like Counterparts, I'm good. Hate that design. I've had the Counterparts skin for a long time. Much easier on the eyes. Just the opposite. There are 12 skins to choose from. I know.

It was decided that the best environment for him is the home environment, so that's where he is. Plus, his mom will make damn sure that he keeps his activity to a minimum so he can heal quickly and comfortably. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. They are very much appreciated. Thanks for the update. That's great news. Do they expect him to make a full recovery? He will need Physical Therapy for his hip, and his wrist will need some work, but yes. He is expected to make a full recovery.

  10. My former step-son Clint went up on a roof to get a wayward frisbie. He unfortunately fell off and landed onto a concrete pad. 2 bleeding brain lacerations, broken cheekbone, nose, wrist, and fractured hip. This happened Thursday night. He was in Trauma ICU, but since has been moved to a Medical Trauma Unit. He cant have any brain simulation: No visitors, TV, lights, you name it. Although the bleeding in his brain has stopped, any over stimulation could have it begin again. He's on the mend, and although it's gonna be a long process, he expected to make a full recovery. He and his family still could use your thoughts and prayers. Thanks.
  11. And I snuck in my cellphone, and recorded a part of it. Here ya go.

  15. Hey there, Rush fan! Since we know you have impeccable musical taste and a discerning ear, we need your help finding the winner in our RushCon 12 Tribute Band Contest. Take a break from your busy day, kick back and listen to some tunes from some very talented tribute bands. Our first round of judging has narrowed the field from eleven bands to the top three, and now we need you, the fans, to pick the winner! There are a total of 9 songs to vote on, three from each band. The songs are intentionally not labeled or identified by band name. You are ONLY voting on who sounds the most like Rush. Who really captures the spirit and the sound of the band? You will rank each song from 1 - 5 (5 being the best), and the band with the highest score (total of all 3 songs) will play at RushCon 12. We want to keep this as fair as possible, so we are limiting votes to one per person. We will check addresses, and any multiple votes coming from the same IP will be rejected and not counted. (We recommend family members living in the same household vote from different locations.) If we suspect any tribute bands, their families, friends, staff, or supporters are soliciting votes, identifying which tracks are theirs, or encouraging negative votes for competing bands, then the offending band will be disqualified. Voting closes at: 2:59am on Monday July 30th, 2012, Eastern time. We will announce the winning band on Sunday August 5th, 2012. Bands, a reminder to you: Posting links to voting, soliciting votes or "stuffing the ballot box" with votes from your friends will be an immediate disqualification. Bands themselves can vote, but you may not publicize your participation in any way (for example: in person announcements, YouTube links, Facebook posts, emails, Tweets, etc.). Now, let's get voting! CLICK HERE TO VOTE!!!

Jeff Miers is a Rush pimp! He has always shown tremendous love for the band.
  19. QUOTE (Snaked @ Jun 13 2012, 09:44 PM) You're on a RUSH FAN site and you expect contrary opinions to be received well? C'mon.. really? Really? A true fan will NOT always bow down and worship every single thing that they put out. The majority of the body of their work? Yes. Every last drop? I would hope not. For example. Fly By Night is like chalk screeching against a chalkboard. Does that make me any less of a fan? I don't believe so. Even Rush themselves don't like every single thing they've put out. Tai Shan, for example.

    The Garden

    Eh. Mission is still a much better solo. The solo in The Garden isn't brought out enough, like it was in Mission. Beautiful song. This line grabs me: The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect So hard to earn, so easily burned In the fullness of time A garden to nurture and protect
