You might see some big and small changes this weekend as we test and update the new forum software.  I'm not sure if I will drive the this site off a cliff like I did last week or make it better, but I'm sure going to give it a try.  Whatever happens, we have a safe backup up to come back to this point if needed.  Give me a little time and thank you for your understanding as we try to make this better.  :handshake:

Okay, I got this.  This should work.  Everything looks ready to upload and time for the new (original) theme we had before... and time to get off this old looking 1980's stock chat board layout. Here we go.... click.   Poof, gone.  WTH, where to the forum go?  :unbelievable:  No way, that should have worked.   :huh:  big sigh.  Put it reverse.  Upload back up and start over.  :wrenching:

I'm going to work on the site with the garage door closed for a bit.  You might not see any changes for a bit, but I'm working on it.... Unless everyone tell me this is the best "theme" layout and color they have ever seen, we are planning to go back to the way the forum looked and with the mods we had before.

I finally got smart enough to do a search for Cuda forums and found this site instead of wondering when the gobble de goop would go away. :D

Okay, I know things are still developing but I want to address the following.

I'm set-up on my PC to jump directly to Forums from my favorites list. Once there I can't get to EBO's home page to access "How To Videos", "Resources", etc. (shown in the screenshot). No matter what I click on, the Home button, the Logo, whatever. I have to open a new tab, Google EBO, then open the top displayed search. Is this still something that needs looking into or am I missing something?

Yes! You are right. And @TwitchisMental is the man that's going to help us fix that!  :banana:

Alright I have added a home button to the menu that will allow you to access the main website.

I am also currently putting together a new theme that will match the main site look aswell.

Another issue that has been brought up is attachments, this is being looked into and options being discussed.
One way around the attachment size limits for now is by uploading the picture to a image hosting site like imgur and then linking the image that way.


Give us a wee bit of time and we will have everything setup as it should be :) .

FYI, I can't use tapatalk to access this site on my cell. Not a big deal as I mainly use the desktop to get in here just thought I'd mention it .... @Cuda Cody

So Tapatalk is dated and also a security risk(well the plugin is). SMF 2.1 is responsive by default and can be used on any mobile device. That would be the best solution.

Good to know, I deleted it from my phone.

While I primarily use my computer to access the site, (like now), I also use Chrome if I want to access the site from my phone.  After loading/searching for E-bodies.org the first time, all I have to do is open Chrome and the link appears under the search button; like a Favorites tab on the computer.

Any chance we could revive the part of the world members inhabit? It was nice to know there are guys in Sweden and France etc.
