This one looks interesting. I'll look into it. Definitely seems to have better mod tools than vbulletin. thanks
If we could find a new forum software with better security, it. could potentially solve some of the issues for the mods as well. I sent an email to vbulletin to see if they would help me move this...
It's not like I caused the outage. Like I said, its not a new situation, its been challenging for years. We need more mods, and new software that is secure. The mods are working so hard as it is and...
I could get behind that.
I can understand why those forums have shut down. Its a challenging thankless job keeping a forum up not just for me but for the mods as well who deserve most of the credit. I'm looking at solutions...
That was the original idea for UU VIPs
I'm looking for some other type of forum replacement software as well. The issue really comes down to the time it takes to keep it up and running. The mods do so much work behind the scenes and...
Here are the main issues to keeping the forum up.
1. It has a huge database which is hard and expensive to maintain
2. The software that is running the forum is end of life and no longer is...
I edited the post for clarity. Nothing is decided, listening to all the feedback from everyone.
Still taking feedback. No decisions are final yet.
That is a kind thought, but the costs come with maintaining the database and the time it takes to battle spambots. This forum is running on vbulletin, just an older verson. I don't think there have...
Keeping this forum up is very expensive to operate and time-consuming to manage. The size of the database of a 13 year old very active forum is huge. The little revenue the forum generates does not...
we are not planning on taking down the forum. What we may do is lock the new user signups and new posts. We'll see how it goes.
Discord is more of a chat service but there are many features that we can add that will address a lot of the concerns of it not being a "forum". Feel free to let me know in this thread what your...
its more about maintaining and modding the forum that has been the issue over the past few years. The database is huge and the mod tools available aren't the best.
you can use discord from any web browser. You don't need the app.
I'm reposting so as many people possible will see this:
I want to invite you all to our new Ukulele Underground Discord server.
This forum is now 13 years old, and though she has served the...
Reposting my posts in site announcements, we are debating whether or not to close this forum sometime (lock new registrations and posts) in the future. I understand that there is so much history here...
Hey guys, we're going to be moving the community here in the forum to our new discord server. Here is the link to join. I even set up a section so you guys can continue your discussion there. The...
I want to invite you all to our new Ukulele Underground Discord server.
This forum is now 13 years old, and though she has served the ukulele community well, she is tired and needs a break.

Sorry guys, we had some issues connecting to our sendgrid account to send emails out after we migrated to a dedicated server. I switched it back to php mail temporarily while I work on fixing it.
ok changed some settings. please let me know if its working now. Sendgrid made some changes to their ports, so hopefully that alone can fix it.
Sorry about that guys. I made some changes to our sendgrid SMTP account. I updated it in the forum, but I'm not sure if it fixed it. Could you please let me know if notifications are still not...
Hey guys,
We currently use this software called Zoom in Ukulele Underground + to do live coaching and open mics, but I was thinking maybe we could also use it here in the forum. Would anybody be...
They were both related. The 503 errors were from the server getting overloaded by the forum, the SSL errors were caused by us upgrading to a dedicated server to prevent the 503 errors. Moving servers...
