bogus	Guru Down Time!	#1
Grand Imperial Pooh-Bah San Pedro, CA 20859 Posts Member since: 2005/9/7 0:00	The Guru Goes Down @ 9:00PM EST/6:00PM PST - TONIGHT! We need to update some software and such, so the site is going to be brought down for a bit. I hope to be up by 12:00AM EST/9:00PM PST. This update should really slow down the spammers and will bring us up to modern standards in many respects. More detail when we get back on line!!! You can monitor our facebook page for updates. https://www.facebook.com/corvetteguru - Andy

Grand Imperial Pooh-Bah San Pedro, CA 20859 Posts Member since: 2005/9/7 0:00	Welcome back! A few things: 1. The Tech Library is down... I will be fixing that. 2. Some graphics need to be updated... in time. 3. For Admin types, one user deletes are causing an error, I will debug that later. 4. I think all the links are ok. 5. There may be issue with time outs... It might require multiple log ins per day. I am investigating this to be sure it is true and if it can be reversed. If you find something, please report it here! I don't want to have to hunt everywhere for these things... Thanks!!! -Andy

Without "forum" in our name, people won't find us, it's that simple. So... what does this mean? Not much. Just change your emails about. News@CorvetteGuruForum.com and Admin@CorvetteGuruForum.com The brand is still CorvetteGuru and that's how I will market and present it. c4guru.com, corvette-guru.com and corvetteguru.com all redirect to the new URL. No one will be left behind!

Click embed on the bottom of the youtube play bar. Highlight the clip address and drag it to an open guru post. Either that or copy the url and post it in guru. Pics. I use photobucket. I copy and drag. Trying the browse option now. Attach file: CF.jpg (49.21 KB)

Webmaster SW Chicago Burbs 22802 Posts Member since: 2008/1/7 0:00	In response to the letters/numbers under your names - from the Xoops FAQ: Quote: These were a bit of fun by the author of the forum module. Many games use terms like HP (hit points), MP (Magic points), EXP (experience), and Level to denote attributes of characters in a game. In XOOPS, HP is determined by your average posts per day. MP is determined by your join date related to your post count. EXP goes up each time you post, and when you get to 100%, you gain a LEVEL and the EXP drops to 0 again.
