For a yet to be determined reason, the server switch was limiting The Totally Useless Thread III to 11,250 total posts. The database was accepting the posts, but viewing them was limited to 11,250. The temporary work around was deleting some non-significant posts from years back to get the total down to 11,250. The strange thing is there are other topics that are much longer? :stupid I will research and find the reason for this. Also, I have noticed an issue with the board not reporting members online correctly. Please feel free to let me know of other issues you guys notice. It's a personal challenge for me to fix them.  :rotflmao

Well I found the issue with the board not reporting active sessions correctly. A database column need to be modified to accept longer strings of data.

The original board code is 22 years old. So much of it is obsolete. A lot of it throws errors in the logs, but still works.

I'm going to play around with AI and rewrite some of the subroutines with it. If that fails, we'll revert to what currently works.  :comp

:rotflmao It's creepy but amazing at the same time. I'll share some examples of before and after code soon.

OK, here's an example of before. It is very primitive and inefficient, but it works.

Quote
sub mem_zodiac {
my $data = shift;
my $status = ' ';
if ($data->{'POSTER'}->{'MEMBER_ZODIAC'} == 1) {
  return qq!Aries
!;
}
elsif ($data->{'POSTER'}->{'MEMBER_ZODIAC'} == 2) {
  return qq!Taurus
!;
}
elsif ($data->{'POSTER'}->{'MEMBER_ZODIAC'} == 3) {
  return qq!Gemini
!;
}
elsif ($data->{'POSTER'}->{'MEMBER_ZODIAC'} == 4) {
  return qq!Cancer
!;
}
elsif ($data->{'POSTER'}->{'MEMBER_ZODIAC'} == 5) {
  return qq!Leo
!;
}
elsif ($data->{'POSTER'}->{'MEMBER_ZODIAC'} == 6) {
  return qq!Virgo
!;
}
elsif ($data->{'POSTER'}->{'MEMBER_ZODIAC'} == 7) {
  return qq!Libra
!;
}
elsif ($data->{'POSTER'}->{'MEMBER_ZODIAC'} == 8) {
  return qq!Scorpio
!;
}
elsif ($data->{'POSTER'}->{'MEMBER_ZODIAC'} == 9) {
  return qq!Sagittarius
!;
}
elsif ($data->{'POSTER'}->{'MEMBER_ZODIAC'} == 10) {
  return qq!Capricorn
!;
}  
elsif ($data->{'POSTER'}->{'MEMBER_ZODIAC'} == 11) {
  return qq!Aquarius
!;
}
elsif ($data->{'POSTER'}->{'MEMBER_ZODIAC'} == 12) {
  return qq!Pisces
!;
} else { return ' '; }
}


Now, this is how AI rewrote it.
Code Sample
sub mem_zodiac {
   my $data = shift;
   my $zodiac_signs = [ '', 'Aries', 'Taurus', 'Gemini', 'Cancer', 'Leo', 'Virgo', 'Libra', 'Scorpio', 'Sagittarius', 'Capricorn', 'Aquarius', 'Pisces' ];
   my $sign = $data->{'POSTER'}->{'MEMBER_ZODIAC'};
   return $zodiac_signs->[$sign] ? $zodiac_signs->[$sign] . "<br>" : '';
}

Interesting.  MANY YEARS ago I played around with C+ setting up programming for call queuing on a Nortel system. Symposium was the application. I'll have to look and see if I still have some of the programs I setup.

It's finally the weekend.  Been a long week. Need to give the Colorado a bath and hopefully the Silverado too. They are really bad. Other than that I don't have anything ells planed. I do need to get out there and clean up this garage and try to get rid of a few things like this frig'n tonneau cover off the silverado. And the old wheels and tires off the Colorado. Like to try to get the trailer out of the garage too.

Sorry. This week has been a BIOTCH!!!  Been real busy at work.

Not sure of the years it will fit, My Silverado is an 02, Normal short bed not the extra short one, Fleet side bed. I THINK...  It will fit 99 to 07. White A.R.E. clamp on.

Yea I don't think it will fit. A.R.E molds then to look like the hood of the truck. This one is a GMC hood design. I'm glad I got his one instead  of the Silverado. The Silverado looked like a hump back.   :laugh

Yeah, beds are totally a different size and A.R.E shells without the side windows are just about extinct for a square body bed. :(

Didn't get a whole lot don this weekend. I did get the battery charger on the floater and got that fired off. Need to go and run the crap out of it in a real bad way with fresh fuel.

Yea it's paid off, Just Maintenace and insurance is all I have to keep up on it.

Got into a project over the weekend. I went and ran a cable from the office to the living room and hard wired the TV to the network to get it off the WiFi. OH did I mention I went and got a 75" TV up from the 55" we had. Got a Hisence from Best Buy. Going directly to the router seems to helped the picture and performance all around. Should have mowed the yard but the wind SUCKED.

We went to a 75" TCL Roku last year what a difference that made, I'm on Wi-Fi but I'm close to the router so it didn't make any noticeable difference between hard wired and W-Fi. :good
