I have sold the website. It now belongs to our very own admin, Samantha (txrepgirl). No introductions are needed since she has been here running the forums for years already.

I have updated to the latest vBulletin 4.1.10 which should stop the hackers and slow down the spammers. (we can hope)

I will be helping txrepgirl to manage some small tweaks and the occassional glitch that is sure to pop up since the upgrade.

I would like the thank the handful of people who donated to purchase the newest vBulletin for The Tegu Community... So..

People who deserve our thanks..

Well.. First thanks to txrepgirl for purchasing TheTegu.com to keep these community free for all of you!!

And to the following for helping us purchase the latest vBulletin software for the entire community!

OMG. I'm so excited about all of this :) . Thank you SO VERY MUCH to Rick for choosing me to be the new owner and to Rose, Laura, HernandosMom and Greg for the donations. I couldn't of done it without out you all ;) . I'm VERY PROUD to have such a awsome team and to be the new owner of this forum.

This has always been an issue for me. Is there a way to change the side bar so that new threads and responses show up quicker? With out subscribing to it and checking regularly some times it can take at least 30 mins before it updates.

Sadly that is the way it works. It is part of the forum script.

That's sucks,.. it would help things run smoother if it could be changed. I think the response time may be the biggest issue people have with this forum now that new membership has been taken care of. I know I don't always check the thread if the side bar hasn't changed.

If you click "New Posts" on the top in the left corner, does it refresh faster?

i've found that it does. but i also have a quick computer!

Me, too. I have a fast computer and an impatient personality. If it takes longer to load than I would spend reading it...I'm usually gone!

I understand what Bubblz is saying. I check the sidebar for new posts and won't often revisit a thread if there does not seem to be new activity. Occasionally I've stumbled upon unanswered questions, etc and wondered if the newer member found their answer.

You know what would be really great if we could up the time your allowed to stay logged in because sometimes I'm writing a reply and I go to post it and bam its like ha go log in if you want to post sucka. Then i have to hope I didnt lose the info i just typed out and what have you. I think the community would enjoy a longer inactive time.

Clicking on What's New works but I'm not use to it. On some other forums I visit you have to log in to see what's new and I don't always log in unless there's something I'm going to respond to. The side bar is the most noticeable so that's what I check but now that I know I don't have to log in to see what's new I'm good,.. I'll take that :). I agree with the logged in time as well, if I'm typing a lengthy post I gotta remember to c&p so I don't lose it before logging in again.

That's something txrepgirl will fix soon. ;)

No problem. I think now that I fixed the other issue, you will have less issue fixing/changing stuff in the future. ;)
