I REVERTED US BACK

[Scott Greczkowski]

Was having too many issues with the new software (main one being people couldn't reply to messages) so I reverted back.

That was a waste of a day...

But now I know how to do it.

Sorry about that guys. I will write more later.

Could this explain why I couldn’t access it earlier and got some error that said Forbidden and said something about htaccess?

Yes, I got same message.

It was a learning experience for sure.

But good news is it was pouriing out here all day so the plans I had for today were canceled which gave me the time to do it.

If I would have waited another 10 minutes I would have fixed the reply issue, as support told me what to do. But we will still have had the issue with the style and other add ons that need renewing.

We we so close yet so far.

Thanks Scott. You will get there

First of all, Scott, thanks for the alternate way to communicate what was going on by posting to your Facebook and X.com.

Seems like this has become the norm this year for all software based devices. Push an update that forces a learning session only to discover their better idea breaks stuff that was working just fine. I still keep a windows XP laptop here just for some stuff that no longer works on today's OS.

My problem was that I don't do Facebook or X. But I had faith that things would resolve and they did!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I just got a note from the folks that make our UI.X SatelliteGuys Theme and they have fixed their issue with Paypal. So I can no renew them.

Still surprised at the other add ons and how expensive they are. Costs for each vary from $15 to renew for a year up to $40 to renew for a year. I didn't consider needing to renew them when doing this. As I said some of them have not had any updates in many many years.

Next time I do it, I will have all the ducks lined up in a row.

We are not going anywhere. I would have kept working until we were back... and well that's exactly what I did.

I do both. FBV mainly for family and to use my meta Quest 3 in VR.

I had an old Twitter account but rarely used it until Elon bought it as owning Teslas it was the best way to get updates on what his thinking is for near term future changes to the car. Both can be addictive

Yes but it sucks that you have to give up your Sunday to fix the website.

Don't know if you saw the weather here in Connecticut yesterday but it probably saved me from being washed away.

I am probably in Meta’s metaverse through WeightWatchers and Instagram, not that I had a choice. Twitter was “required” by CEA for attending the 2015 Las Vegas CES, so I consciously joined that platform. I stopped posting after 2018/2019 and removed the app from my devices in 2022. I was using it to follow the SpaceX and Tesla efforts, plus a handful of Science, Space, and Tech reviewers.

So, pretty much my Social Media consumption is mostly through this site, then other niche device forums (Car and EVs), plus Apple News+ feeds.

Since Scott posted 30 minutes before updating, I was caught off-guard. I got the 4-1-1 from the System Admin via channels.

I can only have this one addiction.

I joined Twitter years ago to follow this one guy. Who promptly shut down. Never posted. Only go there when referred by something on this site.

I originally joined Twitter to get last minute information about a couple of local bands in my area. Little by little I got sucked into other things.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I used twitter since we have been setup there since the start and was an easy way for me to give updates to as many people as possible while I was working.

I don't really use it much anymore, unless big satellite news breaks.

Is there any way you could test the new site on a different machine (perhaps a VPS) before deploying it on the live machine?

Some VPS providers offer a pretty healthy startup credit depending on your needs.
