Administrators Horton Posted December 10, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 10, 2022 14 years ago this weekend BallOfSpray was born in its current form. I want to thank all of you who visit and post on a regular basis. At this moment we are working toward moving to a new software suite. I am sure there will be some confusion and kerfuffles when we make the change. Please be patient as we go through this transition.

Baller Bruce_Butterfield Posted December 13, 2022 Baller Share Posted December 13, 2022 @DW yikes! I had almost forgotten about Coyote Brothers. But then again, I have forgotten a lot of stuff.I did try a Carbon fin and it sucked to ski on, but found a very useful repurpose.https://ballofspray.com/forum#/discussion/14688/carbon-fins-are-awesome Quote If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller swbca Posted December 14, 2022 Baller Share Posted December 14, 2022 Things are already changing . . . must log in to see discussions today. That must be a transitory state otherwise it appears guests would be locked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted December 14, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted December 14, 2022 Sorry about the need to log in for the last few days. I was cleaning out the system and go carried away. The new site needs just a few more tweaks. Sooon I hope.

Baller MattP Posted January 3 Baller Share Posted January 3 @Horton did we loose our stared/favorite threads in the merge from Vanilla? Would there be a way to get those thread links or titles at the least? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted January 3 Author Administrators Share Posted January 3 @MattP Yes. That data is lost. The upside is that the new search functionality is so extremely good that you should be able to find anything you're looking for. As you know any data migration is like making an omelet. We had to break a few eggs and to be honest at the moment there's still some shell in there but it's going to be good.

Baller MattP Posted January 3 Baller Share Posted January 3 (edited) @horton bummer. Yea I under stand the merge and growing pains. This is the 5th? 6th? version of the forum over the years? The new search functionality is good, but not sure I will waste my time trying to find those threads. Some were good to go back through every year or so. I don't think I could even begin to remember what to search I let the fav list curate that knowledge to save me some brain space.

Baller Skoot1123 Posted January 3 Baller Share Posted January 3 @Horton - on the Vanilla forums we could see our comment history and all the threads we started. Is that info part of what was left behind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted January 3 Author Administrators Share Posted January 3 @Skoot1123Yes and No and Maybe... My dev still has some data to be added into some profiles. I am not totally sure what is in there. For now click on your user icon- top tight of the screen and click on Profile & then "See my Activity". Look around in there.

Administrators Horton Posted January 3 Author Administrators Share Posted January 3 @MattP BallOfSpray was a Vanilla Forum from 2007 to 2023. Same system and database the whole time. All the posts since May 2007 are still here. I just found posts that I imported from EzBoard in may 2007. in The new system is way better once you get your head around it.

Baller Skoot1123 Posted January 7 Baller Share Posted January 7 Is there any way to shorten or minimize the font size of the description of each thread? This would allow a user to see more than three or four threads at a time. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted January 7 Author Administrators Share Posted January 7 @Skoot1123 Phase 1 was getting all the data moved and the functionality straight. Phase 2 is to make things pretty and smoother. I am now looking for a developer to help with Phase 2. 1 Quote Support BallOfSpray by supporting the companies that support BallOfSpray California Ski Ranch ☆ Connelly ☆ Denali ☆ Eden Lake ☆ Goode ☆ HO Syndicate ☆MasterCraft ☆ Masterline ☆ Pentalogo ☆ Performance Ski and Surf ☆ Reflex ☆ Radar ☆ Rodics OffCourse ☆ S Lines ☆ Stokes About Horton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
