Thank you David for your tireless efforts.
Please do let us know if you need assistance with the financial costs of the upgrade.

Re: Forum back up and running again
Ditto as to personal gratitude for your efforts in behalf of our community, David.
What Makes an Elder? :
A head of gray hairs doesn't mean one's an elder. Advanced in years, one's called an old fool.
But one in whom there is truth, restraint, rectitude, gentleness,self-control, he's called an elder, his impurities disgorged, enlightened.
-Dhammpada, 19, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.

Re: Forum back up and running again
If David is willing to relinquish ownership of the website to its members, collectively, I'd be more than happy to contribute a sum for its upkeep much greater than my individual share.

Is the web board software now updated?David N. Snyder wrote:Sorry about the downtime. The site was moved to a different server and that caused some compatibility problems (all the server software was new and the forum software thought it was the old versions). Tomorrow I'll fix the colors and put back up the chat page.

Re: Forum back up and running again
Thanks for the kind words. We are still having some technical difficulties especially in regard to bringing Dharma Wheel (Mahayana) back up online as well as Dhamma Wiki. And then we need to bring back our logo and colors too in the near future. We are working on the issues.
Yes, in the future no doubt we will have some collective ownership of the Dhamma / Dharma related websites I run. I want them to continue after I pass away so in the future we could set up a board with directors, treasurer, etc. and ensure the sites will be maintained and run in accordance with spreading the Dhamma well into the future for succeeding generations. Thanks for your interest and willingness to contribute.

What's up with that?

We'll see about getting that removed. It was the security question when you first registered. We have changed the security question over the years so that is why you see different and wrong answers.pilgrim wrote:Under the avatars ... "Which number is larger than 1000 and less than 1002: 1006"

Re: Forum back up and running again
site looks great, thanks for all the hard work!
Re: Forum back up and running again
Without this site along with other online resources there's no chance I'd be a Buddhist today. All your hard work is greatly appreciated.

Thank you sir. Dhammawheel is a treasure.

Re: Forum back up and running again
Thanks for all the hard work, David. Just my opinion: the current interface is the best we've had....and as Mike already said, it is running excellent on mobile.

Re: Forum back up and running again
Thanks. Embedded videos are now back working.
Dhamma Wiki is back up online and running! That was the last of the main Dhamma sites to come back online as it had so much material on it for the new software and server to transfer.
I believe everything is back up online and running now and better than before. Remember those double editing tools above posts? Gone now.
And we also have a new Dhamma Wheel logo, one that looks more like the Dhamma rather than a ship's wheel. It was hard to find a good design that wasn't copyright protected, but now we found one.
Glad to hear it is more accessible with mobile devices too.
