    FYI: Planned vpsBoard maintenance will be occuring later this evening.

    I know. It's a pain in the ass. It'll be fixed but unfortunately there is little/nothing I can do about it right now.

    FYI: Planned vpsBoard maintenance will be occuring later this evening.

    Been mentioned many times already. IPB staff is looking into it. It's only pre-existing urls that were in signatures and content. New URLs / signature updates work. The Tier II staff that my ticket was escalated to will return on Monday to review it further.

    Home security systems?

    I just wanted to update this real quick and sing praise to the surveillance / camera systems company Zmodo. They produce budget / affordable security systems. I bought a kit from NewEgg last year for Black Friday that included a 4 channel DVR and (4x) 720p IP cameras. The picture is pretty darn...

    The content area of posts have been widened as per your suggestion @Mid . Does that look better for you? (It does for me). Changed it to 155px from 200px. I noticed if I go further long names wouldn't display properly and would show an ellipsis in the middle of the name. (Example, if my username...

    How to: Force SSL sitewide with Nginx

    Thanks for the advice, was not aware.

    FYI: Planned vpsBoard maintenance will be occuring later this evening.

    Good idea actually. That's something I'll look into tomorrow. Already in bed right now on the laptop. If you open your browser's element inspector and change .ipsColumn_medium to 150px it looks much more reasonable and that's 50px less than the original width. Could probably go narrower (130px...

    What podcasts does everyone here listen to?

    Oh, when I say 'podcasts' I usually just mean stuff I can listen to on YouTube or soundcloud. I don't have any normal podcast client or anything on my Linux desktop or workstation. I've never fully 'gotten into' or understood podcasts. I usually just search the sites mentioned above for things...

    How to: Force SSL sitewide with Nginx

    For those of you who run the Nginx webserver on your VPS and wish to force all visitors to access your site via SSL you can do this quite easily. Before the upgrade to IPB4, vpsBoard still ran site-wide https:// but the conversion was software based and wasn't forced by the web server (even...

    Do you use a VPN for your normal internet browsing?

    What sort of VPN security do you run? I'm always a bit iffy about some 3rd party VPN service so don't generally use a VPN if it requires logging into things like email, social media accounts, bank stuff, etc. I've got a year subscription to PrivateInternetAccess and rarely sign in. Usually just...

    WHMCS 6.01 is released

    So, to those of you who have upgraded: What are your thoughts? Happy with it so far? I run a WHMCS install for managing the billing of advertisers but haven't upgraded yet since some comments here weren't super positive. Though upgrading is on my to-do list, just after I do everything else that...

    What podcasts does everyone here listen to?

    I've usually got music streaming the entire time I am at my desk, however recently have gotten into listening to some news / political podcasts. Curious what everyone here subscribes to and if you have any suggestions for technology or tech-news related podcasts as well. I need some background...

    Is the pageload time and general speed of the website better for you after the recent forum upgrade?

    Things seem to be much snappier and faster for me, how about you?

    How to get listing of new posts/content after upgrade?

    That's just how IPB4 is. There are options for me to restrict applications to certain user groups. I would have imagined that 'New Content' would be part of the 'search' application, however it is not. Unfortunately there is no method at this time of overriding that. I'll complain to IPB and...

    The gun thread

    Went to the range this morning by myself for some 'group therapy'. Too bad my groupings weren't that good, but oh well. Still had fun and needed to get out of the house.
