well its up and running at last.

i'll mod it to death still and no doubt i'll kill it again.
but not for a few weeks for sure.

uploads are now up to 16mb each if you ask me nicely.

pictures work.

i'm just waiting for the bill for the bandwidth now that should be fun!

i'll give you a little tip, i have a mirror of this forum on my laptop and try all the mods on that site first and i back everything up twice, but i bet you know that anyway :lol: phpbb is so easy to break!

:)

it is of course optional.

Rick
16-01-2005, 10:00 PM
well here we go again.
i found a really cool fully fully modified board,
it has all the same mods as i've done here and loads more.
it's currently just in testing stage before i take the massive step of doing the upgrade.

if you fancy a play it's here www.rkendall.com/forum/vitraxpremodded

kaz

the site move will probably not be taking place now until the eventual move to the new server.
this current server has a php version lower than the required version for the modded board.
i will keep you informed as to when and where.

Rick
17-01-2005, 07:24 PM
it could be back on again.
im currently testing another board.
http://www.6stringheaven.com/forum/phpbb2plus

this looks much more promising, please go by there and try to break it etc.

it'll be tested over the next few days.

Rick
08-05-2005, 11:08 PM

i updated the forum software to a later version, and a couple of things need fixing (as usual) however i won't get chance for a day or 2, so no private messages are one of the things.

I'll fix it as soon as possible.

Rick

Rick
10-06-2005, 07:57 PM
All Fixed :)
if you find any bugs let me know cheers

Rick
16-07-2005, 05:24 PM
you might have seen i've added the navigation block to the forum!
this means you can easily access the areas of the site that were only available from the portal!

so you now have access to uploads and downloads!
the photo album.

and can add links to your sites as well!

finally all virus is removed now! and i updated to "yet another" new version of the forum software!

zombo
16-07-2005, 07:33 PM
Wow thanx Rick I for my part really appreciate your endless energy in making this site work !!!

Rick
01-08-2005, 11:14 PM
just done an update to the forum software again, we are now on version 27^27^27*64^8 or something.

anyway like usual if you find anything wierd please tell me! or one of the other guys anyway!

should keep the hackers at bay for a few days :jump:

Rick
02-08-2005, 12:09 AM

Rick
11-08-2005, 07:14 PM
I made the first purchase with some of the donation money.
A fully functioning chatroom!
Yeh i know i had one before! yada yada.
Well the big difference is this one doesn't crash the forum, it allows filesharing in a basic way! and it shows if there is somebody in chat on the index page!.

cool eh!

zombo
11-08-2005, 07:47 PM

Rick
11-08-2005, 07:59 PM

Rick
16-11-2005, 12:09 AM
chatroom is now on a new version, as is the forum scripting.

Also at the request of siN i've made it so you can see if anybody is in the jam room regardless of where you are on 6stringheaven.

Rick
09-12-2005, 09:27 AM
portal should be back tonight.

and some of the more familiar features that you were used to.

:thumb:

Rick
13-05-2007, 07:54 PM
vbulletin released a new version of the forum scripts yesterday and as it is the first real update for 6 months i figured it was about time i did an upgrade.

Most things are still fine, but you will notice the recent threads have gone.

me and zappafan talked about it and we both noticed that without these showing the forum is around half as fast again, so we decided that they are now history from the forum home page.

To be honest when i first installed the modifcation i didn't have a clue about this software, but now i can create some similar stuff without the need for the cmps overhead.

if anybody finds any major errors please let me or zapp know will you.

Rick
14-05-2007, 07:13 AM
ok its back!
by popular demand i guess.
but if it causes problems i'll remove it.

Rick
02-03-2008, 09:22 PM
to keep you up to date!

i finally got around to making the jamroom work properly, it's only taken a year.

anyway it's now fully part of the site and the mp3 player works a treat again.

please use it! its good fun, if there isn't anybody in when you go in, just hang around a while and somebody will turn up..

Rick
02-03-2008, 09:25 PM
also coming very soon, there will be a premium subcription area.
now this isn't to make us loads of money its to help the upkeep of the site.
I this section there will be lots and lots of extra features all accessable via a Very small one off payment (to be decided)

Rick
14-06-2009, 10:19 AM
well its all up to date and running sweet.
i've added a couple of extras, most visibly the photo album on the front page.

Please enjoy it.

Rick

Vbulletin have announced V4 of the scripts.
So over the coming days me and zappafan are going to asses then upgrade 6sh.

It has some major additions built into the scripts that are no longer just code modifications.
For those that remember i used to mod this site to bits, but over recent months backed off as it makes upgrades hard work.

it seems now that the option for inclusion of these will be back.

sadly it seems the arcade might have to go.
cheers to everybody who stuck by us all.
