I had looked into Tapatalk in the past.  At the time, there was concern over a security issue and it had been pulled.  Also, it was a pay app. There is another alternative that I'll discuss with Zovall.  It's a pretty simple one, no app involved.  I've had it on a test site for a while now. ...

Hey everyone, The poll results appear to be somewhat different than the stats gathered by Google Analytics for Talk Irvine.  Aside from the name and social security number of your first born, the types of devices used to visit Talk Irvine are also recorded. So without further ado, here are...

No changes have been made to timeout periods, but we too have noticed some issues, especially over the weekend. The forum software has not reported any errors in the logs related to this, so the solution is a bit elusive.  On my part, I reverted one recent change yesterday, and corrected an...

Yep, I think I'm getting closer to figuring it out.  Just hang in there.

I'll look into it.  The 'repair' utility for the Thank-o-Matic is generating an error ::)...  I did however correct the spelling of 'premission' to 'permission'.  :)

Strange...  yesterday was working great for me.  This morning, slow again.  I found another rogue IP address visiting our site and permanently nixed it.  I'm trying a few other things too, including anti-spam plugins.  Hopefully things speed back up.  It seems pretty sporadic. Thanks everyone...

Ugh...  I keep checking back and find more slow downs and other spam IP's trying to login. BTW, thanks shokunin for reporting this.

I'm seeing a known spam IP trying to login...  I think they were trying really hard.  Had to smack them away.  8) I'll get the feeds back on tonight.

Is it just today that seems worse? I made some minor changes to the feeds section on the homepage last night.  Looks like it's causing some problems, so I temporarily removed them for now. I'll try some other maintenance tasks as well.

Invisible users are those who chose to "Stay Invisible" in their User Profile. Their names do not show up in the Users Online section near the bottom of the homepage. To check or change this setting for yourself, click the [Profile] link just under the Talk Irvine banner above. Then click...

When I first saw the post that this site was slow, I tried it out myself and I swear it was the quickest I've ever seen pages load here. I wasn't sure how to respond and wanted to research a little more. Today, though...is awful. Most everything loads up as normal, then my browser freezes for...

I've been watching radar on Weather Undergound http://www.wunderground.com/radar/radbla....l=Irvine,%20CA It's actually the one the LA Times uses, with maybe an added feature or two, such as "Storm Tracks" that show arrows indicating direction and predicted times that storm centers may travel...

Just a heads-up so you guys don't get caught off-guard: Heavy rains are expected starting Sunday and continuing through the week. Expected totals are 5 to 8 inches near the coast, and up to 20 or more inches on the coastal mountain slopes. Here's the official alert...
