Ladies & Gentlemen of CO-AR15,
The staff of CO-AR15 are pleased to welcome you to the 10th Anniversary re-launch of the CO-AR15 Shooters Forum.
We hope you'll agree that the new look and feel, while maintaining the same basic functionality and manner of use, is an improvement.
I encourage everyone to look around the new site and tell us what you think. You'll find a few new capabilities that we hope you'll enjoy.
Happy gunning!
- Ginsue
Nice new look, thanks for the hard work!
Also, I'd like to say "THANK YOU!" to Jason from Tanium Design & DCFGuns for donating our spiffy new logo! If you are ever feeling nostalgic, the old logo can be seen at the bottom right corner of the site.

I'd also like to throw out a huge thank you to Jason. It's an awesome logo that certainly reflects an updated look and feel that goes well with our re-launch.
None of this would have been possible though without the tireless hours devoted to this upgrade by our own Server Admin "J". Everyone, please stand and offer a thundering round of applause to "J" for his amazing efforts. Well done bro!

WOW What a surprise before coffee. Looks great-well done.
Yes huge koodos to J(formerly Jayock) for the new site and server and Jason from Tanium Designs for the new logo.
Great job J and Jason. All of us appreciate the hours of hard work updating the site and putting up with all of us!
Wow you guys do great work, keep it up!

Awesome, thanks for the hard work. Just curious, did the donations by us members help pay for this update?
Yes, they certainly did. They didn't go towards compensation for anyone's time, but they did:
1. Get us a new vBulletin license. We are now running vBulletin 4.2.3 instead of 3.7.1. We also got the option with the license to upgrade to vBulletin 5 when it comes out of beta status. Our old version was so outdated it prevented us from upgrading the server software as it would have made it incompatible with the old forum software.
2. Get us the server that the site is now running on. I have to turn on some caching settings still, so it will be even faster than it is now.
3. Get us a decent professional base theme to modify and improve and make the look you see today. It would have taken 10x as long without a good base starting point, and it was an easy call for $35.00.

It seems every post is just a bit too long and has scroll bars, so it makes it wierd to scroll down through the page. Other than that I really like the new digs.

This is the fist time I've seen a forum upgrade that actually looks better than before. All the other boards I'm on took a couple weeks to get used to the new look. I like it.
This is Loco and I like it!

Good job guys!! The site looks amazing!!
And thanks for the time you spend keeping this going. It's much appreciated.
If you just noticed some instability, I was enabling the caching systems to improve speed. Might have gotten a couple of brief errors as I did that. Cache is building and it should be super fast after it is all built out.
Well Done Gentlemen, This place is like an addiction, OH Hell, it is an addiction!! Thank You for all you guys do!

I can confirm the firefox search bug. For now use the "Advanced Search" Link In the top black bar. I'll see what I can do to get it working right.
I think this is the first time I have EVER had something work in IE, but not firefox.

It may be that I'm using IE, but each post, just the post, not the signature, has vertical and horizontal scroll bars. Seems the post area is just a smidge to big. No matter how big I make the browser, the post area size is relative to the size of the browser. It's not really a big deal, I can handle it.

How old is your iPhone version. I've been replying all day from mine.
I can turn on the mobile theme too. Maybe I'll try that for a while.

Try pressing CTRL + the minus key to change font size within the tab. This may work for you. CTRL & + will increase font size.

6.0.1 - it's hit and miss. I can drop the cursor on the text field but typing does nothing to edit my op. The quick reply is working fine now...

I see a notification button in the top does it change to "Hey bozo you got mail" or some such if you get a PM or do you have to click to find out?

Yes, it changes if there is an unread PM.
Ok, the quick search on firefox should be sorted out. Please give it a shot and let me know how it works.

Would it be possible to filter the new posts feature? Seeing "Hai, I'm a newbie" 47 time over is getting old.
Yes, I understand I am one of those newbies
Looks great otherwise!
Are you looking at new posts, or activity stream? New posts should only show you one list item per thread where there is a new post. Activity stream will show each and every new post anywhere.

New posts - and I'm pretty sure there is only one item per thread, but there's been a tremendous influx of new members lately, and the "hi I'm new here" takes away from the real content of the site, imo.

How can I disable the tapatalk popup?
Tried to link directly into post from outside source and it told me "not .gif" extension or something, it lists .jpg as valid picture link as it was. Kind of odd, but I could directly upload from my puter??

Love the new look. Don't know if it's been mentioned yet but when I tried to reply to a post from my ipad, the keyboard would disappear after I hit every single button. I've had it happen on another site before but it worked great yesterday.

This did happen to me once when we were on the test site but I closed down Safari and reopened it and it was all fine again.
Ok. I have created a thread in the feedback forum for all bug reports for the new site. Please make sure your issue hasn't already been reported before adding it to the list (one report per bug).
That thread is here:

Is it possible to make ignored posters take up less space when they post? Say a single line with "Poster x is on your ignore list" instead of 4 or 5 lines of text?
No major rush on this one.

... and if they're ignored, if someone quotes them it shows blank...
tmleadr03
11-15-2012, 20:28
For clarification this is what I am referring to. Just a single line would suffice for me if possible. I think having quoted text would be prohibitively difficult to do though.
Yeah. I should be able to tighten that up. Give me a few days.

You rock!

I'll take a look and see what that code looks like and figure out if that is something we want to modify. Will get back to you.
I can't ignore anyone, being an admin I have to be able to mod any post. Are you saying that now it shows their text in other people's quotes and you want to hide that too?
i think that is how it works but haven't seen it myself.

Every Forum I'm on it's like that... I have 5 accounts on one forum for just that purpose... :D I WILL NOT BE SILENCED!!!!
I donno if it can be "fixed".
How about "settings" at the bottom? Be nice to go back to the subscribed threads page.
Many of the java based buttons (OK on image insert popup) don't work in Firefox.
Just the one button, or are there others?
What version of firefox?
I'll have to get the particulars off the laptop later. I shoulda known better and posted them right off

Also, if you can, see if the issues still exist on te simple blue theme. Helps me narrow things down
Firefox 16.0.2
I updated the Java SE plugin and it appears to work now on click, but the OK and Cancel buttons on the insert image buttons still do not light up on hover. Works fine on simple blue theme.
Also, seems the border of the buttons light up the cursor on hover, but just not in the fill area.
Correction. It worked ONCE on the default theme. Then java appears to ignore the click.
