Congratulations for the new forum

The default log on time is 15 minutes. I have upped this to 30 minutes now.

Also, if you check the "remember me" box under your login, it should leave you logged in for pretty much forever.

Thanks Dafluff, I overlooked this.

You know what's kind of weird? I see the avatars when I'm logged out but they are all gone when I'm logged in. Then only the names and amount of posts etc. appear. I'm using Safari on an iPad.
 
I just come from the other forum, I hadn't been there as the new setup was really screwy, but then realized many posters were banned, not sure what happened over there but I can only guess and leave it at that, so anyways congrats on the new forum.

I was Todd-sun over there, I only had over 100 posts but I've enjoyed the banter and have learned a lot about Indonesia from everyone here.

Yes still stuck in the swamp at the moment, there's so much building going on here; new condos all starting at 2.2 million, I'll have to find a new beach soon enough:plane:

Hi Tocean,
Welcome to the forum. Glad that you've found us.

Basically, after a total screw up of the admin team for one too many time, and no response for 12 days to even acknowledge the problems they created, the Mod Team decided to move ground and build up this new forum in the hope to better serve the community.

You have more details here:

And on the old forum:

I have to say I don't have the time invested many of you did in the other forum, nor does it have any bearing on my off-line life(the life I like to think is more important), however with the time I put in lurking and curiosity I thought I owed it to check out the situation. I've been on many forums over the years and I can't remember once where someone decided to just upgrade without, at least, informing not only the mods but their user base.
An ill advised move imo as these forums are already becoming a thing of the past, Facebook has put a dent in the traditional forum much to my dismay as I find it a terrible platform for specific discussions.

I'm sure it's:deadhorse::deadhorse: but their claims of sabotage are ridiculous, seems to me they did a great job on their own. I have a personal problem with responses like this from the admin -

We can all look back on things we've done in our lives and say, I should have done this or that. It doesn't serve any useful purpose except to change matters going forward.

A very weak backhanded excuse, yes it does serve a useful purpose, as maybe you can learn from your mistakes - and the forum upgrade still sucks.

Good luck with the new site and forum, I'm sure all this drama was great incentive to make a better site and forum:nod:
