BigRedMax Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 They said I have to go through the hosting company. I have started a ticket there. I have also put in a request to Fivvrr for a programmer to see if they can fix it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedMax Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 The hosting company said that there is no back up. May be time to change hosting since HuskerMax is backed up daily. Try to get a programmer via freelancer or fiverr. 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 @BigRedMax Have you tried reaching out to the former owners? We've never had a problem with this software before, and I know a couple of other sites that use it without issue. It's odd that things just randomly break here. Not sure how that happens so frequently. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedMax Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I have been searching for a programmer to fix these issues and not having much luck. If there is a member out there with programming experience I would love to work with them. Using the online programming sites is an exercise in futility. Personally I am not enamored with Invision. Xenforo is much more user friendly from a back end perspective. I was going to switch when I bought the domain but decided not to based on feedback. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 @BigRedMax I would implore you not to change this software. I think it would be a devastating blow to this site that would take years to recover from. Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Does Invision use a parent+child theme system? Just from the kinds of problems I'm seeing, it looks like one is being updated but not the other. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 @Toe It appears that it does. Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Usually the way that works is that the parent theme forms the 'bones' that determine the basic layout of everything, while the child forms the 'skin' on top of those bones that customize the look for the specific site. Typically you shouldn't have to manually edit the parent theme, just update it when a new app version is released. The real updating (and any manual editing) would be done on the child.

hskrpwr13 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Noticed today on my laptop that the section of the screen containing the threads is reduced to half screen size. Previously the thread width spanned across the majority of the screen. Quote Link to comment
hskrpwr13 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Tried it on both google and firefox. Looks like maybe the banner isn't loading correctly; adding additional info near upper right of threads section. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 "I was going to switch when I bought the domain but decided not to based on feedback." @BigRedMax Don't listen to the kids in the hall (Knappelc and the other crybaby egomaniacs). They want what's best for them and their own personal interest. And they will certainly let you know it. But you prolly see that by now. Do whatever you want. It's your board. Change it up, switch it over, do whatever you like. Most of us will adjust and be fine. It's a Husker board for Husker football. And that's the most important thing than anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I haven't been on the admin side of either, but from the user side I would consider Xenforo to be a step down from Invision. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedMax Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I have located a programmer that has experience with Invision and will be working with him early next week to fix the current issues. Did not want to attempt it on a game day weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment
