I actually took some time to work on the website today and have finally consolidated the Hull Numbers page and the Owner registry into on new page called the Boat and Owner Registry I know for a fact that some of the information is out of date and or wrong. So please if you see information about your boat that is wrong or missing let me know and I will fix it. scott I know that a lot of people have had issues viewing the website lately. That should be fixed now. The code for the last upgrade caused a bug in IE to not display the site correctly because of a ( ” ) sign in a comment on a post. Something so simple that brought the whole site down in IE. I could really hope that Microsoft would start writing standards compliance into IE but am not going to hold my breath. It took a while to track it down but it is up and working again thanks to the help of the theme developers that built the theme we are using on the website. I kicked them a few dollars for their help as they were gracious enough to spend some of their valuable time looking at our problem. I was pulling my hair out about it. Thank you everyone for your patience while this was resolved. As always if you are having a problem using the site or see something that is wrong let me know and I will do my best to get it fixed. Scott Carle s/v Valkyr DE 38 There were some fairly major updates to the website and forum software that I ran today. I’m not sure that you will notice much difference in actual usage, however there are probably a fair number of new features or tweaks as well as all the security updates etc…. If you do run across something that is not displaying correctly then empty your browser cache and try it again. At that point if there is anything that is acting weirdly or not working let me know about it. Your friendly webmaster Scott Carle PS.. if anyone wants a new language pack other than english for the forum I would be happy to install it if you want. It will not affect the language of the posts themselves but it will affect all the controls of the forum that you use. I actually had more spare time on my hands than I thought and got the site up and running with all the old data and information that I could find on the web. I started this when I found the old websites for the Downeaster yachts had disappeared. If you are a Downeaster owner and have any information not on here, I would love to have you submit it to me, or point me in its direction. I hope the website to be a comprehensive resource for owners of any of the Downeaster yachts. I have used the Internet Archive to recover some of the information from the old websites that people had submitted over the years and have posted here under “Old Website Information”. If you are the owner of one of these old articles, and do not wish it to be listed here, let me know and I will remove it. Conversely, if you are the owner and wish to resubmit it in complete form with photos I would be very happy to have you do so. I have included a forum on the site here. I know that there is another Downeaster forum at http://downeasteryachts.yuku.com/directory. However, it seems to be mostly unused anymore. I posted on there a few weeks ago, and I noticed someone else had posted a question recently. Neither post has been replied to as of this morning. It leads me to think that the site is mostly dead. I don’t intend to step on anyones toes that has been maintaining the forum. I thought that a forum integrated into the website where this information is being consolidated might generate more activity by other owners of these boats. One of my goals here is to have this not be so much my website as […] |
