What do you suggest?

They are required to come into the thread. That's the only way to reply. On the site or with the app.

Oh, right! I'll look into that.

Oh it looks like it wasn't enabled there. Check now.

It's still there but depends on the forum.

This is by design. We have automated emails going out 2x a week with trending threads from the past few days. This has been getting a lot of members to come back to the site... which is exactly what we were hoping would happen!

In billions of years yes.

Yeah well out here in California there are a lot of "clauses" and "disclaimers" in your policies that give insurance companies the right to not pay when, you know, "natural" stuff happens. As a renter the financial risk is pretty low I think. Randy, that's a pretty wild video... was not...

I guess that's my thinking as well... they've got a lease renewal coming up so I guess they can push it one more year. If the pipes are running through the slab (most from the 80s are, around here) then it's only a matter of time for a slab leak and those aren't much fun to deal with.

Well that's a given, I just figured some anecdotal comments would be interesting to hear as well.

Forgot to add that the house was built in 1986.

Probably can't beat that price either right? The 44" US generals are $500 for the bottom and $320 for the top... unless there's a sale.

The house my parents are renting for the past three years in San Diego has developed numerous cracks in the sheetrock over the past three years. None of these interior cracks were present there years ago. The patio pulling away from the house and one of the cmu cracks were present 3 years ago...

Anybody have one of these from Costco? $599

Behind the scenes, almost every reported post is due to politics now. Very rarely to we dismiss a report as rejected... maybe 1 in 20. Most require action. That action is almost always just locking threads or deleting posts. But we probably need to issue short term bans more for people to get...

Pretty sure nobody has ever been banned from TBN for no reason. Maybe debatable reasoning but there's always a reason.

Did you report it?

This has very little to do with rural living so I'm going to close it.

Yeah I've got plastic bins with mixed tools. It's somewhat difficult to find drill bits with this system. :oops:

Motivation.

Title says it all for the most part., I'm in the market for a tool cabinet to get organized. I have a mixture of small hand tools and power tools and would love to be able to store everything in a uniform setup that saves spaces and keeps things organized. I currently have open shelving that...

People can't even fix their own leaking hydraulic line but they're gonna find a cancer cure in the baking aisle. :ROFLMAO:

Too many posts are going way off topic so we're going to close this one now. Thanks.

Haven't read all the posts in this thread but a reminder of forum rules... Don't insult each other. Don't bring politics into the conversation. The mere fact that climate change exists or the science of why it happens is not political and as the OP mentioned, it is relevant to rural living as...

I've been thinking about this. Might have a way to do it.

Going to close this thread now as it's gone off topic. Like I said if you want to discuss the equipment, that's fine, but too many purely political comments to keep up with.

Nope! :ROFLMAO: I'm actually working from home watching my daughter, trying to save up for her college fund and pay off my overpriced house. No beach for me today.

If you violate the rules of a privately owned free forum that has the right to delete your posts for any reason or no reason, you will have your posts removed. Our moderation practices are protected by section 230 of the Communications Decency Act which was enacted by the republican majority...

Reminder: political commentary will be deleted. You can discuss specific policies related to the use of equipment but please keep your opinions about California out of the topic. Sent from my beach chair watching surfers and waves in San Diego. 😄 🏄‍♂️🏖️

One town south of me is very environmentally conscious. They were the first around here to ban plastic bags and they recently banned gas lawn tools. In my town however, they still allow it and I'm guessing they will until the state mandates otherwise. Probably 2030-2035 or so is my guess...

Last year I purchased a full collection of 80v battery powered lawn tools... mower, blower, trimmer, pole hedge trimmer, and two batteries. Overall I thought they worked well and battery life was enough for me to be out there working for two hours (not nonstop use for two hours but that included...

Well... I wouldn't be surprised if our current housing situation turns ugly. Doesn't it always work in cycles? Everything seems like it will never stop going up. Until it goes the other direction. Historically, those moves happen a lot harder and faster than the ascent. Stairs up, elevator down...

Well I'll send some Californians your way. :D

Nice! Then I would have money for a power trac or two.

When you divorce work from earnings you get a bubble.

Those prices are just the down payment, right? This is from my neighborhood... just in case you wanted to feel better about the prices where you are. :rolleyes::LOL:

Sad and unfortunate to read this outcome. Nobody expects a six year old tractor with 2,400 hours to need a $10,000 engine repair and not only that, one with no explanation. The actual engine block itself is about $7,500 IIRC from another member who had to replace his for a different reason...

The thread starter icon is already implemented.

No that's some multi-million $ place in Los Angeles.

I don't want to resize down below 2500px as there's value in the large images. I will look into setting up more compression to reduce file size further.

We could resize more.

That image I uploaded was reduced from 5 mb to about 2.1. Size restriction is now 2500 pixels in any one direction. Should keep most images down to the 1-3mb range. Better than nothing.

Images are now resized automatically.

Yeah we should add this feature. I'll put it on the list.

Right now we don't have any but we probably should set up a merch store, shouldn't we?

Yes they are deleted from the thread.

I want need that.

Congrats! Let's see the new owner photos! And your project photos of course.

Shouldn't be there, it's an error.

This topic has become too political so we're closing it down. Thanks.

You guys know we don't allow politics here. Thread closed.

You can put them in folders in the attachment manager.

Software calls it that. We changed it on site but I guess the notifications still say conversation.

It means I sent you a message. Click on the mailbox icon at the top.

When I have a clear head. Eight month old keeps us up at night. Last night slept from 10-2:30, up since then. Brain function compromised. :eek:

Correct, new posts/notifications. We're so high tech now.

Which cities? Here in San Diego rents are about the same over the past year, if not up slightly. Housing prices are up 30-35% in nine months ... runaway market.

Check the forum list at TractorByNet Forums... it's there.

Added back the tractor info below user info.

Every page has a log out link already. Click on your avatar picture.

Hate to break it to you but you joined 16 years ago. :D

I probably never saw the original mention. Glad I learned something new.

If a thread is highlighted in yellow, it will jump to to the new post automatically. This applies to any forum you're in or the today's posts/new posts/my home links

I agree! :cool: The main thing is that there are many different ways to use the forum so to different users, certain features or links were more important or more used than to others. While one user would just check today's posts, others relied on my home, and others might have had certain...

Reminder that if you're posting links or quoting politicians, any political debate will be removed. So you can discuss fuel prices but leave the politics out of it.

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Running this site for 23 years and I've never heard that before.

Yes, will add to the to-do list.

I do intend to create some explainer videos but we have been plugging holes since Saturday. Once the dust settles we'll make them.

Added folders for subscribed (watched) threads on my home link. For those of you who had old folders, sorry but they couldn't be carried over.

We've made a bunch of changes since Saturday and sometimes things might look a little off. Missing this, changed color on that, or whatever. In those cases, hold down shift and press F5 (PC) or press command and R (mac) to do a "hard refresh" of the page. If anything was loading from your...

Let's just say... if you have dial-up... you're on your own. :ROFLMAO: Probably would need an image blocker and an ad blocker just to navigate anything.

KNEWNRML? Too hip for me. Or maybe I'm too hip to understand. Yeah let's go with that. ;) Don't be absurd. :geek: I just call it complaint culture. Everybody is complaining about everybody and everything. What happened to the good old days when people on TBN could just fight about their...

The tier 3 books, yes.

Oh jeez it's not like you've got a little mini machine, 6500lbs on R1s will cause some issues. But I for one would love to see the homemade carpet tire covers at least attempted. The concept is interesting for sure. You can also keep an eye out for a set of used wheels to put on your machine...

Let's try to keep politics out of this thread or else we'll have to close our remove it. If you would like to discuss your favorite books that's fine.

:love: she's got us all melted

We seem to have, hopefully, maybe, cleared up the issue with double posting.

Got this fully implemented today. See the screen shots. You can get to it by clicking on the paperclip on the message editor toolbar on all devices.

Nope just one for me.

Is that why so many people are replying to my welcome PM today? :LOL:

Posting issue was a two-headed problem and we have made two corrections. It's working normally now on our end and should be resolved for everybody else once the files are updated on your network (caching issue). If it happens again we'll investigate further.

Working on it.

Are you a website mechanic? 😉

Okay let me check.

My biggest issue with editing old posts is the ability to just blank out old posts that can ruin a thread. It doesn't delete the quotes within replies so that becomes a mess where the original post has been edited by the quotes have not, so conflicting posts will be in the thread. If there's...

Will think about both suggestions.

On which device? I already made it bigger in desktop by 1pt over the old forum.

Are you able to post from a computer now? Is the message box showing up now?

The red dot goes away. You can mark PMs read and the dot goes away. Click on "selected" and a bar appears at the bottom which will let you select all and then mark all as read.

I've tested in edge and no issues on pc or mac.

Looks like an ad blocker is hiding the reply box Javascript. Check your ad block and Javascript settings.

You can delete a draft by clicking the disc icon on the message toolbar.

Okay I think you guys mean that the breadcr aren't in the forum pages but they are in the thread pages. Noted.

If you're having the problem with the reply box, please email contact@tractorbynet.com and list the following info: - Type of device (desktop, mobile, tablet) - operating system - browser - if possible a screen shot of the bottom of a thread where the reply box normally would be.

If you think a post is political, report it. Usually there's one post that starts the political tone and then the replies are all taken out along with that. Normally I would remove them all but it looks like the thread is back on track.

Yep, it's here too now.

Hmm

Subscribed threads are under my home. At the moment we don't have categories but I can add them. Attachments are managed under attachments when you click on your username. You can find your existing attachments by clicking the paper clip on the message editor toolbar.

No, the kitchen was done in november... my brother's fence, however, is 80% finished as of Friday.

Try now.

Hey now! :ROFLMAO: Good to know it wasn't our server... because the site is on a completely new server now. It's a content delivery network issue for sure. We've been working with them to try to find the cause.

Hey, I designed those buttons! I thought with shading they blended into the bar above, which when a thread is read, goes to grey. Yes, dark mode is coming.

"Stop fighting you two!" - My mother

Okay I added 100 to the settings option.

Indeed that's an outdated section of the site. Right now clicking to "home" is pointless. Clicking on the logo takes you to the forum listing page.

Ok now it works.

Okay let me try from my desktop. Weird.

Check now. Default is 50 now.

Added an attachment manager. Enjoy!

Yeah technically that's a search which isn't part of the per page options and I don't think it was on the old forum either. I'll see if we can change it. I might update the default on that anyway to 50 because I think that's what it was on the forum before.

I assume you're talking about on mobile devices? Not sure, I can check though. I'll add it to the lower priority list because stuff like that will take about a half hour of digging into code and maybe longer once I start testing to see what I broke while trying to change it. :D

Added inbox folders for conversations (aka PMs).

Added today: - My home link - Original poster highlight - Setting for posts or threads per page under preferences link from your username in the top right corner.

:p When in doubt, stir the pot.

The thread title with every post was deliberately dropped as it seemed redundant. Not sure what purpose it served other than a reminder. But let me see if I can find a solution to that.

We had a few of those running back then. :cool:

I merged all six of your threads into one. In the future please just reply to your first thread or better yet embed all of the videos in one post. 👍

When you're logged in you should be seeing one ad, on the right side of the page, on desktop only. Logged in from mobile you should be seeing zero ads.

@jjp8182 We'll get this added, maybe today.

Okay that's enough for the political side of this topic. I'd rather not have to hack up or close this thread after 8k replies.

I'll add this to the feature list but recovering old folders isn't possible due to the change. Sorry for the inconvenience but we will restore the feature.

No, I've gotten a few. :censored:

Don't lie you know you love politics :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

It would be nice if weather weren't so darn political.

Not yet but we were planning on adding it.

Picture is sharp for me. Looks like you need a square avatar picture to avoid cropping. They're getting cropped automatically.

Try editing your signature. The links may have gotten removed but are now allowed. Or should be anyway.

Yeah I've seen the feature. I'll check into it.

How about now? I'm browsing on my phone right now so signatures are hidden.

Will get that updated.

Everything got set to unread in the move. Yes once you mark the forum read, you will start getting jumped to the newest unread post in a thread.

Did we have that feature on the old software or is this a new feature request?

Not sure what that photo gallery was but could you share the link you had?

I think we'll be able to go back and fix all the old error characters too.

I agree, I find myself scrolling too much. I'll add that to the list.

Interesting, I'll check it on my computer later.

In addition to everything else, the new site is actually a higher resolution than the old one. So basically our old avatars are like video tapes but we're playing them on high definition screens. Time to update the avatars with larger images do they're sharper.

Basically everything got marked as unread during the move. You need to mark the forums as read and then the new posts will work the same as the old forum. We will add a direct link to the watched page to make it easy. How did you normally find the forum index? You can click on the logo to get...

The larger avatar is sharp for me. The site now uses higher resolution so devices with higher resolution like phones, will display sharp images. Low resolution images are natively zoomed in so they will appear blurry. Time to update our avatars. Except yours is already good.

Well imagine if you took your truck to the mechanic and he told you that it needed a new transmission but they didn't make them anymore and one day it would give out and you'd be stranded and forced to buy a new truck on the spot. Then factor in that it's not just any truck but a commercial...

Yes, we're in cahoots. He's my big brother and has been responsible for every single downtime since the beginning. :ROFLMAO: Joking aside, he handles the server administration and back end and I take care of the layout and front end and banning people.

Yes, they stay there.

Since a lot of members have the same question I'll update this post with the items that are planned or added. 1. We will bring a simple my home link back so you won't need two clicks to get there. Give me a couple of days to do that. 2. Number of posts per page will be added. 3. Tractor...

It's not implemented yet, but I've got it on the list.

I'll figure out if we can add it back as a one click feature. Later today I'll make another round of tweaks.

This week.

Good question and if not we do plan on making them.

Did you wait for a new post? The thread will be highlighted in yellow when there are new posts.

Yes it will.

Couldn't fit the entrie state... [emoji28]

Simple answer is yes, there will be some lag for the next few days.

Our CDN needs time to propagate to our new web server. Should be resolved within a couple of days.

Check it now. That white space shouldn't have been there in the first place. Some rogue code got in.

It's a 2-for-1 display. It displays all watched (aka subscribed) threads and then when there are new posts, they are highlighted in yellow and will jump you to the latest post. Since you just marked all forums read, only the threads with new posts from that point forward will be marked as...

That's something we could add back in.

Our old software was extremely out of date. The developer sold it off and the new owner retired it years ago. We were painted into a corner, unable to upgrade our server hardware or software and patch known security holes, because the old software wouldn't work on new server software. We limped...

Image issues appear to be an issue related to our server change (DNS propagation). Should resolve within 48 hours. Until then, might be spotty in terms of some images being broken links.

You guys need to click mark forums read and it will restart the unread counts. Unfortunately we weren't able to carry over which threads were read vs unread. I recommend you click mark forums read and then everything new from that point forward will automatically jump to, or you can click on...

Okay I think that's an ad that shouldn't be showing for users @i7win7 ... will look into it.

To clarify the my home question for @downsizingnow48 and @RedNeckGeek, the post @aczlan made raised the point that your unread/read indicator on threads was reset and everything is now marked as UNREAD. You will need to mark threads and forums as read and then from that point forward the threads...

Yes, click on the little disk icon next to the preview button and it has the option to delete the draft. Drafts save for 24 hours and update every 60 seconds.

We might make further improvements to the search as well. That's on the list.

Thanks for the feedback @RedNeckGeek ... I'll check into all of these, some items are settings and others we might be able to correct another way.

Check this link: https://tractorbynet.com/forums/find-threads/contributed

Good to know. Using the android app, I had to log out and log back in, but didn't have to delete. Glad you got in. Let us know if there are any weird things going on with the app.

Nope, only 9 years old! I've got another year before it's officially expired. It's like my driver's license... which still has a photo of me as an 18 year old on it, BTW!

@George2615 Try now, updated another setting.

You w No, editing is still there. You wrote "Well let's find out. New layer of compost in hoop house." and the text is above the image.

The previous one you posted inline, does that show for you? Because it shows for me. It's on page 2 of this thread.

Are you using the app or website?

Sorry about that, Thomas. :D

Can you see the one you just attached?

Click on watched, or find threads. Watched will show you all of your watched threads and find threads will give you the option of finding threads you've posted, or posted in, even if you're not watching them. It also makes it easy to find those all in one place.

Will post a longer how-to when I have some free time but for now... "Today's Posts" or "New Posts" (unread) will give you the latest posts, just like the old forum. The links are in the same place. "Jump to new" will take you to the newest unread post in a thread.

@Xfaxman Just inserted this image.

Oh, it's back now. @5030 I figure updating it every ten years makes sense. Got one more year on this one!

Me too. :p

Did you get anything done during the TBN downtime? Install a new septic? Wash your tractor? :)

As we've been hinting at for a long time, our new forum software will be deployed tomorrow. We've spent a year (on and off) preparing and testing the migration, which takes about 15 hours to copy our 500gb database and another few hours to configure. Most of the copying will be done overnight...

Yes, good unit. I have one. Can't remember what I paid but $170 sounds cheap. Welded this railing with it.

Are there any channels that don't involve destroying stuff?

Everybody might as well start a business like that. Just make sure you make enough to break even and keep Uncle Sam happy.

He probably makes $20-$50k per month based on his view counts. It's quite lucrative. I see that a lot of the YouTube channels with 1m+ subscribers buy lots of toys. New trucks, equipment, etc.

Depends, if their name starts with (removed) I'll take all the free advice I can get.

I have to admit I actually sat through an hour of him demolishing that trailer because I was convinced there was no way it was fitting in those two roll offs. And to be fair to me, out here they don't allow filling over the top so while he did cram it all in, it was over the top. As for my...

Fearless? Some of that sounds rather unwise.

MuhammadCamarata Has a nice ring to it...

These threads make me want to start a YouTube channel... call up the tractor manufacturers, ask for demo machines... do crazy stupid stunts with them... make lots of money on Youtube views... tick off manufacturer legal team... no more demo machines... use YouTube money to buy junk equipment...

I think the patio is... done. Lighting isn't that good in the sun today but the poly sand is in and we're moving on to the fence next week.

Before you know it the patio will be done. Not pictured: All of the tricky cuts are saved for last.

Coming along nicely.

TBN server guy working on the database.

Pavers are underway!

Waiting for the ground to dry has made way for the fence posts. Used quickcrete quick set and the "dump it in and dump water on it" installation method. We never frost here so we can cement all of the posts and not worry about movement. When I was 14 I installed a fence at our house in NY...

Well... today the rains came. Heaviest rain in months. This will put a multi-day delay on installing the pavers until the base and sand dry out. On the plus side a few low spots have been revealed. They would have gotten cold 5 with sand anyway but it's good to know. Bonus on this picture...

The patio is, of course, a lot more work than you would think. The biggest issue was that there was a lot of earth back there and we had to dig out and level the entire back yard to prep for some base material. First photo shows the dirt somewhat level at the compactor stage. After the dirt is...

Bobcat t450 and pallet fork rental, 9 pallets of pavers, 8 yards of class 2 road base, 4 yards of granite dust... moved about 10 yards to level out the back yard, started compacting the dirt today. Tomorrow we'll finish leveling the entrie patio area, get the base down, move the sand pile to the...
