9/13/2013 - Update #1
Hello all!
Just a status brief to let you know where we're at with the system right now. As of right now (11 PM EDT 9/13) the basic forum system is working correctly and has been tested. The file section is working off the front door page and downloads can take place as needed. We're currently working on software for a picture section, that however is still pending. We're also working on uploading the forum message archive for viewing, but please be patient there as that may take a little time. I don't like the way the main page looks currently, however we'll address that with the developer in the next few days. For right now it works.
For the near future we're going to run on PHPbb. However, I'm not ruling another forum software out in the future such as IP Board, simple machines, etc.... As you know this system was engineered quickly and you can expect some bumps in the road for a little while until we stabilize out. Most professional suites can convert forums, users, and messages from PHPbb without difficulty so what we are doing here in the interim is not wasted effort.
I'm also pleased to announce the appointment of Dave (Daveinet) as the associate administrator of this system and as my primary backup. Dave has been a Revcon owner for many years and has been instrumental in many of the improvement efforts and the knowledge distribution for these coaches. I personally have benefitted from his expertise while working on my coach, and I'm glad to see him working with us as we move forward. Also, please expect at least one, perhaps two moderators to be appointed as we move forward. Not that our forum will need extensive moderation, but I'm a firm believer in addressing issues before they become major. Several sets of eyes are better then 1 or 2.
As always, PM me, EMAIL, or contact me if you have questions or concerns. Please don't be afraid to let us know how things are going, either good or bad, and if you have suggestions or ideas to improve the system.
Thanks Eric
