Popular Post Square Wheels Posted September 7, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted September 7, 2020 Not next week, but the week after I will be upgrading the forum software. Some of the add-ons I've purchased over the years will go away. The software vendor has made it a lot more expensive to maintain my licenses, as well as keeping current with the add-ons. The Member Map was cute, but not very valuable to us. It used to be free, now the author of that add on want's $40. Not worth it to me. There will be a few other casualties too. It will be the newest, most up to date version though, less prone to hacking. Being a large site, we might be down for a few minutes, or a few hours. Maybe I'll do it on a Sunday, seems a little slower then. 2 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted September 7, 2020 Member Map is gone. While I thought it was a neat idea, Photo Competition is next. It didn't catch on. Anyone want to keep it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted September 7, 2020 The Books section will likely go too. Again, something that didn't catch on and costs money to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never been implemented here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkpow Posted September 7, 2020 Share #12 Posted September 7, 2020 You should probably get rid of @Kzoo. I can't imagine any price point where I would keep him. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted September 7, 2020 Share #15 Posted September 7, 2020 Thank you, SW for all you do to keep our little home operating. Whatever you think makes sense to lose, is fine with me. I love seeing peoples pictures, but I could never choose one as better than the others. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
