• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

What is WRONG with this forum?

I'm not normally one to complain but...

I've been a member for over a year now and I can't PM another member about a classified ad. Can't post in the ad either.

Sigh.

Matt,

The not being able to post/respond to a classified is just part of how they have this site set up, no getting around that.

You should be able to start a conversation (this sites version of PM) with a seller, but there might be a minimum post count that you have to have first.
Its been a while and I dont remember.

FYI, I started a test "conversation" with you to see it if works.
Try to respond back if you can.

Hope this helps!

I've been able to respond to conversations, just not initiate.

Can you guys show me a screen snapshot of the "Start a conversation" button please? I'm not seeing it on my end. I'm using Chrome on a Mac so it could be Javascript that doesn't work for me.

I never said I didn't mean to complain. I said I don't usually complain.

And I have plenty of patience. I just got to the point of finally complaining. The forum needs help. Acting like it doesn't is just ignoring the problem.



Best regards,
Matt

Thank you Joe. Unfortunate that you can't find the owner.

I also prefer the term "pacing". Limping is too negative. One can always expect to "fall" but try to "fall forward"!

Does no one know him personally or have means to get in contact with him?
I think you (or someone) may have to start looking into what can be done to try and break the forum out of this situation.
Thanks again for your continued efforts here.
 
We have not been "waiting" for 2 years. Have tried and tried again. e mail, home, phone, cell etc. He owns the site. period. appreciate the concern but the thousands of members with the "good idea" comments gets old. please enjoy the site as best you can until a rectifying solution comes forward.

Thanks
Joe

OK,
Maybe make a thread stating the situation of the forum, lock and pin it so anyone with the same concerns can simply be directed to it and the situation will be made crystal clear with minimum fuss.
Thanks for your help and i didnt mean to try your patience
