We are now Open to the public.....   :applause: :applause: :applause:


NLG IS IN BETA TESTING..
PLEASE KEEP THE SITE TO YOUR SELF.
WE DON'T WANT THE MEMBERS OVER HERE YET.


ONLY Site Staff, and SR Members, are here now..

Estimated time to have the site up and running AKA "Open to the public" By March 1 2014.

We are planning on keep the old site up for as long as the database will last.
But will be Disable new postings after May 1 2014 on the old site.

WHY are we doing This !!!!  Well Guys the software we are using to run the site is SMF 1.1.9
SMF 1.1.9 Was EOL last year. "End of life"  "No more Updates" and Recently important updates were released for MSQL Ver 5.5.33

We were able to patch it this time. We got caught with asses hanging out last time. From the last Site crash in 2008.
and the next update to MYSQL Mite crash or be incompatible with the old software 1.1.9.

So It's time to update NLG to SMF 2.0.7 Besides the New Features front-end and back-end is Outstanding.

I would like to add a couple of things just for the record. Joey and a hand full of other members have been working their butts off on this Forum for well over a month. I'm not going to name names because I know I would forget someone, but "Thanks" to all that were involved. All so for the record I was not one of those involved,  I did offer to help but Joey told me he didn't want the new site all FU and for me to stay away from it !!
 
You will notice that when some members registered on this new site they changed their user's name. This is going to take some getting use to.

Now I'm gonna tell all you fellows a secret Joey told me. There is a glitch in this new software and there is a time limit involved ( he wouldn't tell me the limit ) If your profile isn't filled out, your "Dilly Wacker " is going to fall off.Yep your gonna get a high pitched voice. You Gals are thinking that has nothing to do with me, wrong, does the phrase " Flat Chested " mean anything ??
 
Joey "THANKS" and thanks to Georgia and the kids for letting you do this for us !!

TexasMark has the answer. If you want to change your name and want to be recognized, place your former name under the Custom Title in your profile. :applause:

They didn't figure out a way to export the data from SMF 1.1 to 2.+ and carry on?

Yes they did but we modded the so so much that it was a no go...... for the users and the messages the rest moved over ok...  downloads, files, back-end stuff.... 

Look at it as Spring cleaning..............  :cool_thumb_up: :cool_thumb_up: :cool_thumb_up:

Ah, I didn't think about the modifications, at least there wasn't a crash involved.

Quite a different look and feel for sure, but a needed one. So many forums I've frequented over the years have done things like this due to EOL issues with the software. Glad to see NLG is keeping with the times and using software that will be supported. I even got my nick for the old forums back too :) No complaints here! Great work guys and thanks! :)
