Zone Upgrade

[Socalsupper70]

Pleased to see you back on the Zone SoCal.  Is this still occurring now (as of the last few hours)?  Anyone else?  Kindly post up screen shots of the errors and let me know what device was in use and and where/how the error occurred.  Posting, browsing, PM, etc.

No its not doing it anymore Admin.

Still flashing and blinking on my computer maybe more so.

Freeing up the right side makes it look more familiar, nice.

Will the video section be coming back?

Working now on a new classified area.  You can view it as it progresses.  All new listings will post as normal posts as well in the forum.  Users can accept direct paypal payments, upload photos, leave item specific coments, do auctions, etc.  More soon.  http://www.standupzone.com/forum/index.php?action=classifieds

Hi Admin,

The site is looking better and better by the minute, thank you. Did I miss the answer to my question about the blogs button?

Thanks for minimizing the ads and the frequency of change. Slower still would be less annoying. Might even check one out. Tapatalk still wonk!

For Tapatalk did you try visiting Standupzone through the Tapatalk app or your phone's web browser?  Please try both.  I needed to clear cache (this is an option in the app) to get it to work on iPhone and iPad.  Once running it is really solid.

Not sure about that yet.  That and the blog page were very low traffic and they had become pretty dated.  We would look for a better solution but my gut is not to fragment what we do to much.  I would prefer a solution that ties into the  forum (our core) better rather than sitting off to the side.

I'd vote for a blog roll.

Admin, Tapatalk app working fine on Nokia now. Never tried to use it from browser as tapatalk is native to Nokia. I'll take a crack at browser on tablet!

You guys really spiffed up the place. It looks real nice and thank you for all the hard work.

I'd vote for a blog roll.

There is some forum software that will dynamically take rss feeds from any rss source such as a blog and use that info to create forum posts in a selectable forum category (we could call it blogs) on site like the zone.  It basically should create a title, one paragraph of content, one photo if it exists and a "more here" link.  It would check all of the selected sites on a schedule and import the data.  The same would work for videos.  That would integrate the blog content right into the forum where it will get more use and add more value.

That is the hypothetical.  I tried this earlier and it worked but it needed a lot of tweaking that I did not have time for.  I will likely try to get this rolling during the summer.

I like that idea. I still go check the blog roll run by a few guys who have a long list. One site is specifically setup to monitor windsurf blogs http://danewsblog.blogspot.com/

In the browser Tapatalk should prompt you with a "use Tapatalk to view this site" link bar if you stumble across a Tapatalk enabled site like the Zone.  If you click the link it should open the site in the tapatalk app.  If the link is not there you would either need to install the current version of the app or clear cache in the app itself.

[Admin]

I like that idea.

Stoked.  The big issue we were running into before was the numerous ways that various bloggers were formatting and handling the elements we needed.  It was too random to pull from consistently.  We may need to set some parameters for the bloggers that wanted to participate so that we could reliably call on those page elements.
