ralis Posted January 25 TDB is slow and glitchy at times. Please fix. Sean the owner is not around to fix problems that need taken care of. Where is he? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerard Posted January 28 There is a lot more going on than software glitches. I'm still waiting for a reply to the thread about updating the logo as the Year of the Wood Snake started today 29 January 2025. Very poor sport. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They volunteer from their own time. I’m grateful for all the wonderful modding and never mind the little picture. Edited January 29 by Cobie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith108 Posted January 29 I have never had a moment of glitchiness or any other issues here. Maybe the op's equipment is the issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gerard Posted January 29 I'm happy to volunteer too and when I do I quickly reply to any queries. If I knew how to design a "snake" using software, I'd update the logo asap to reflect the massive energy shift the new elemental energy brings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jenn Posted January 29 If someone has a copy of the background image (preferably high resolution but I can work with whatever we have access to) and put the snake on it? As far as I know there are no restrictions on the snake styling (like there are for dragons) - but if someone else is more informed or has a prefered snake image let me know. I can use the low-res image I can access off the page if necessary but using the original would be nicer and less work (to remove the dragon and recreate the background that would be behind it). BUT... If there is not really anyone to update the site anymore (or at least not easily) maybe we should just make the upper banner generic / year-agnostic for now until there is someone who can manage the site backend more frequently? Also I was checking out the site's backend provider and it's a fairly pricey product - who is footing the bill? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting I usually think that angle too (especially nowadays - sheesh), funny I didn't as there was a period I stepped away from reading the forum for a few months because some of the people posting at the time seemed to have a strange agenda. Actually I was thinking along the lines of maybe we should have a way to donate for those who wish too / can, if one person really is paying out of pocket for the software, domain, hosting, etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idiot_stimpy Posted January 30 Was getting a bad gateway error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stirling Posted January 30 We mods, at this point, have no control over the hardware or software, we just keep the peace. Messages have been passed to those who control those things, but we have been warned by the previous mods not to expect quick responses. Be grateful that this site exists, or anyone keeps paying for the hosting at all. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nungali Posted January 30 Use the daoist approach ! If it annoys you , get a little sticker of a green snake and when you log on to Daobums, just paste it on the top right hand screen corner 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerard Posted January 31 Hi stirling, Who else other than the site creator Sean, has control over the site? Thanks Jenn, could you please contact a mod (stirling would be great) and let them know you can update the image so they can pass it on to the powers that be. Let's all hope this all gets sorted out including software issues. I'm using iOS and no troubles as reported earlier, only when unloading images from external image hosting sites like imageBB or postimage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, will do, I'll get a snake ready to go to put on the background and if I don't hear back on the weekend re: a better resolution original background image I'll just use the banner image and remove the dragon. I also see some site issues, it is intermittent and seems sort itself out after a minute or so, but I see slowness and the gateway error below: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerard Posted January 31 Thanks for your effort Jenn. You are a gold medal winner Same here "gateway time-out" error too. More than happy to chip in for web hosting fee services and make sure the site stays up and running. Sean or whoever is in charge should make an announcement before they decide to shut down the forum if they decide to let it go. There are others like myself and Jenn so far that are keen to keep the forum alive. Thank you all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sherman Krebbs Posted January 31 Zero problems here in europe, but could there be issues with AI data harvesting (I blame lois). I have heard that is a problem for other sites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
