  1. Did you try both the things I recommended here -- http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/15972-forum-upgrade/?p=719746 and neither made a difference? The problem that I'm having is that it's not failing for everyone with a particular browser (e.g. plenty of us have it working with IE). I was able to duplicate it myself once in IE, but after I fixed a known problem with IE11 it went away after I hit shift-reload, which is what has me thinking people still experiencing it might have bad cached content.
  2. Glad someone's paying attention...
  3. The quoting problem still really seems like a cached content issue. But, even if not, some of the diagnostics are the same. A couple things people could try: * Switch themes. Click "Change Theme" in the lower left and choose "IP.Board". That will switch to the default theme which your browser shouldn't have cached. * Try to force your browser to reload all the assets. On most PCs, holding "Shift" while hitting browsers reload button will cause it to reload all of the assets for the page, not relying on anything cached. Meanwhile, I'll try to see if I can cause the names of the files in question to change, which would force everyone's browsers to load the new versions because the browsers will no longer think they have those files cached.
  4. Ok, I worked with the forum vendor and they're pretty sure the popup problem is fixed. As to the people having problems quoting -- I've only been able to duplicate it once, by grabbing an old laptop (that hasn't accessed the forum during the upgrade). As soon as I forced a fresh load (hold shift while hitting reload) it began working. Clearing the browser cache would have the same effect. So, I still think that problem is just people getting a mix of the new software plus some old content cached on their web browser. If anyone clears the cache and still has problems quoting, let me know. I've tested in Safari / IE / Firefox / Chrome / iOS.
  5. Washington Post editorial board to stop using work "Redskins" People have been speaking out against the name for ages, and this doesn't affect news stories, but there's little doubt remaining that this is the most momentum the anti-Redskins crowd has ever had. I find it quite reminiscent to how the opposition to the Sioux name percolated through the media.
  6. I can duplicate the "checked posts" problem on OSX/Safari, but not the quote problem. So, I'll have to wait until I can get back in front of an iPad to look into it. Meanwhile, anyone having the quote problem on iPad/Safari could try "Change Theme" (in the lower left corner) back to the default IP.Board theme to see if that resolves it for you. That would help me in determining whether it's a problem with SiouxSports' customizations or not.
  7. One more quick question... Are people still experiencing this (the "With 1 checked posts" popup) If so, what browser? I only seem to be able to duplicate it myself on Safari.
  8. Well guys, I'm baffled. I can reproduce the popup problem sometimes, but not consistently. My first thought was that it had something to do with a mix of old and new content (e.g. parts of the old forum cached somewhere), but I've reset everything I can think of both on the forum side and clearing my own browser caches and cookies and can still occasionally reproduce it. So, I've reached out to the forum vendor for some help. Sorry it's been slow going, I'll keep you posted.
  9. Got it. Yeah, I think that's just your phone asking if it should memorize your password for you. As far as why it thinks it has changed from before, it might be that the name of the password field has changed or something subtle like that.
  10. Hmmm.... I'm not surprised it made you login again, but I don't know why it would ask if you want to change your password. I don't see any settings related to password expiration, and I haven't been able to replicate the popup. Anyone else see that?
  11. I upgraded the forums from software version 3.3.x to 3.4.x tonight. This brings us from a couple years behind to up-to-date. Changes should be pretty minor from your perspective, but please let me know if you see anything wrong.

    Sorry, problem is on my end. I'm in the midst of moving to some new servers during the slow summer, so am occasionally breaking things. Will fix that one ASAP.
  14. Every time that song comes on I get excited, "woohoo, Warren Zevon". Then it's Kid Rock. I like Kid Rock, but when you're expecting Warren Zevon...
  15. Now that the PTO has revoked the Redskins trademark, what does it mean? (WashingtonPost.com): In short, not much yet. In fact, this exact thing has happened before and was overturned by the courts. So, off to court they all go.
  16. I feel your pain. I've only in the last decade come to appreciate how playoff hockey is different from regular season, especially at the NHL level. Be happy they won one -- plenty of highly successful regular season teams don't Yeah, those are numbers that can only be achieved with a player as dominant as Gretzky
  17. He knows
  18. Exactly.

    If a new account similarly violates forum rules, it will be banned on that basis. While multiple accounts are permitted, one of the forbidden uses is bypassing a suspension. So, if we're sure we see that happening, we prevent it. That said, we don't stop people from registering or posting based on other people's hunches as to their identities. So, if someone who has been banned makes a new account that follows the forum rules and isn't obviously tied to their old account, they'll get away with it for a while.
  20. Yeah, the statue was tall and there was a line to take photos (and it didn't occur to me). This one is going on the cover of my rap album...
  21. If the fix had been in, I would have won! T-6th is my best finish ever. Guess we each just believed in Union this year.
  22. Congratulations to johndahl with a near perfect bracket -- only missing Providence over QU. Leaderboard johndahl's bracket
