11/02/2010 - Further to my last update, I am in the process of moving house at the moment and I am therefore without the internet and unable to continue development of FiestaSTOC.com until approx 1 week time.

As you can see below, there has been progression and there's still plenty more to do.

Rather than the club remain closed, I have reopened in order that we can see if there are any bugs.

The IE problem "should" be resolved, however if you encounter any problems, please post a thread in the bugs forum.

Regards

Jim

Hi all,

Firstly let me get my apologies out of the way.

I've had to deal with some personal issues for the last four months, which I'll be honest got to the point where I couldn't bring myself to even log in on here or any of the other STOC or RSOC Network forums.

I unfortunately chose the completely wrong time to upgrade the forum software as days after doing so it coincided with my personal life issues.

This meant I left the staff and you all in a very frustrating position of managing/using an unfinished site, full of small, but very annoying bugs and errors.

I can only apologise for leaving everyone in this position, the staff were left in the lurch to take the brunt of your understandable frustrations, without being able to do anything about it.

I should now be able to commit more time to the Network, at this stage FiestaSTOC.com is my priority.

Below is a list of Problems I'm currently aware of and the developments I'm making on resolving them, any further issues will be added to the list as I come across them.

Please bear with me whilst I work on them:

ISSUES:

Microsoft Internet Explorer compatibility issues including slow loading, formatting errors
Smilies
Handbook System
Arcade System - STILL AWAITING STABLE WORKING VERSION
Topic Hover Preview
Links in topics don't open a new browser page

Group Logos
Link to members garage in topic view

Thanks for the update Jim. It's certainly unfortunate that the forum upgrade happened around the time of your personal issues, but some things you cant foresee and so I hope things are getting better for you. I'm sure no one will begrudge you prioritising real life over computers / the internet

[Overlag]

sorry to hear about your real life problems. Hope things are picking up.



Forums already seem alot faster for IE on my systems at least. good luck with other updates hope they go smoothly....
