When we first started our forum we used a plugin that didn't end up working well with a later theme we used so we switched to bbpress. In the process, about 2500 posts were lost, which has always bugged me. I keep Another Cubs Blog around because it's content that myself and others spent a great deal of time putting together. It means something. It probably means more to me than most, and I admittedly rarely use it, but when I recall writing an article, I can find it and link it. I like that. That's what the internet is for.
Those forum topics and posts are back, along with the bbpress ones, Both have been migrated to Vanilla Forums (free version) and it's ready to use now. Click the link below.
You're able to link your WordPress account with the new forum, but I believe you'll first have to do a password reset within Vanilla. Honestly, I'm now sure. I've created and deleted so many users over the last few weeks and I can't remember. It's not difficult. Maybe you can simply be logged into WordPress and click the Login with Obstructed View thingy on the forum and all will be good. Maybe you'll first have to do a password reset from within Vanilla. I'd suggest you use the same password you use for OV to make the linking process easier, but whatever.
If you notice a problem, set up a new thread. The forums we used before (Obstructed View, Entertainment, etc.) are now just categories so pick whichever one is appropriate when making a new thread. If you have problems logging after a reset, use the contact link at the top of the page to contact me.
I'll soon be replacing the sidebar widgets with new ones for this forum.
Comments
When I go to the forum, or a post therein, I get a button that says sign with with OV. And it recognizes my username. But it says my password is incorrect, even though it works with the OV main page. So I logged out of OV and tried just using my username and password. That didn’t work. Password incorrect. Then I tried registered using my same OV username and password. That said the email and username were already registered.
I guess I can put in a new username for the forum, and then make SVB the screen name for it…

You’ll have to reset your password first: http://obstructedview.net/ov-forums/entry/passwordrequest
At that point you should be able to link the accounts. Let me know.

The OV Forum topic list at the bottom of the page doesn’t update now, either with new posts in the forum, or new topics. Appears to update with last comment order on the right though.

Yeah, the one below the comments is still bbpress. Haven’t gotten around to exchanging them. Maybe tonight.

[url=http://carjafuwat198628.eklablog.com/#get_free_itunes_10_6_3]get free iTunes 10.6.3[/url] has matured from a lightweight and fast browsing alternative into an innovative, standard-bearer of a browser that people love. It’s powerful enough to drive its own operating system, [url=http://perptiforrai198424.eklablog.com/#how_to_download_no_virus_agent_ransack]how to download no virus Agent Ransack[/url] OS. The browser that people can use today, [url=http://43chandagiri1973.bravejournal.com/#download_free_backyard_baseball_2001]download free Backyard Baseball 2001[/url] 26, offers highly competitive features, including synchronization, autofill, and standards compliance, and maintains Google’s reputation for building one of the fastest browsers available.
[url=http://anenetin198633.jigsy.com/#how_to_download_no_ads_easycap_software_]how to download no ads easycap software [/url] 26 represents a major milestone for the browser, but those expecting to see dramatic changes in major version-point updates will be disappointed. For a while now, Google has been pushing features over what it calls milestone numbers in a rapid-release cycle, which means that as soon as new features are usable in the beta version of [url=http://rarelita197744.jigsy.com/#where_from_get_fast_ham_radio_deluxe]where from get fast Ham Radio Deluxe[/url], Google will likely push them to all users in the stable edition.
Please note that there are at least four versions of [url=http://naterfacut198830.jigsy.com/#free_to_download_digital_insanity_keygen]free to download Digital Insanity Keygen[/url] for PCs available at the moment, and this review only addresses the “stable” branch, intended for general use. [url=http://41relrulighheel1970.bravejournal.com/#where_from_get_fast_vmplayer]where from get fast VMPlayer[/url] beta (Windows (download) | Mac (download)), [url=http://sisrisandter197232.eklablog.com/#get_link_usb_xtaf]get link Usb Xtaf[/url] dev (Windows (download) | Mac (download)), and [url=http://obarmulin197643.eklablog.com/#where_from_download_direct_link_flowjo]where from download direct link Flowjo[/url] Canary (Windows (download) | Mac (download)) are progressively less stable versions of the browser, and are aimed at developers.
There’s also [url=http://42tiamarecess1974.bravejournal.com/#how_to_download_insanity_nutrition_guide]how to download Insanity Nutrition Guide[/url] for Android and [url=http://37quitratrosnens1979.bravejournal.com/#where_from_download_direct_link_seven_nation_army_glitch_mob]where from download direct link Seven Nation Army Glitch Mob[/url] for iOS.
[url=http://ciamibustro197643.jigsy.com/#how_to_download_link_scansoft_paperport]how to download link Scansoft Paperport[/url] installation process is simple and straightforward. If you download the browser from Google’s Web site, it will ask you if you’d like to anonymously submit usage statistics to the company. Although you used to be able to toggle this easily, [url=http://edosentan197342.eklablog.com/#get_dj_khaled_they_ready]get Dj Khaled They Ready[/url] now splits up the anonymous data-tracking options into multiple categories. You can toggle these from the Preferences menu (the three-line icon to the right of the location bar) under Settings, Advanced Settings, then Privacy Options. Depending on your processor, the installation process should take less than 2 minutes.
[url=http://tertirecoff197629.jigsy.com/#where_from_free_to_get_turbotax_business_2011]where from free to get Turbotax Business 2011[/url] interface has changed remarkably little since its surprise debut in September 2008. Tabs are still on top, the location bar (aka Omnibox) dominates the minimalist design, and the browser has few visible control buttons besides Back, Forward, a combined Stop/Reload button, and Home. Although some users may not like having the tabs on top, we find it to be aesthetically preferable because it leaves more room below for the Web site we’re looking at.
The former Wrench icon for accessing settings has been replaced with the Android-styled “three-line” design. Settings open in a new tab, with many additional options available under various “advanced settings” links. It’s not the best layout, and it’s easy to get lost in the configuration woods as Google moves options around. Some controls, such as page zoom, are readily available. Others, such as the extension manager, are hidden away under a Tools submenu.
[url=http://wetzitamfa197844.jigsy.com/#get_link_krewella_play_hard]get link Krewella Play Hard[/url] extensions are fairly limited in how they can alter the browser’s interface. Unlike Firefox, which gives add-on makers a lot of leeway in changing the browser’s look, [url=http://37beautratchecktual1980.bravejournal.com/#download_link_juniper_network_connect]download link Juniper Network Connect[/url] mandates that extensions appear only as icons to the right of the location bar. The benefit is that this maintains a uniform look to the browser, but it definitely limits how much the browser can be customized. [url=http://slopsolemen198142.jigsy.com/#where_from_get_for_free_hopsin_sag_my_pants]where from get for free Hopsin Sag My Pants[/url] doesn’t support sidebars, either, although other Chromium-based browsers (such as Comodo Dragon) do offer the feature. There is an option in [url=http://edosentan197342.eklablog.com/#dj_khaled_they_ready_download_direct_link]Dj Khaled They Ready download direct link[/url] about:flags, a series of experimental features, that lets you move the tabs to a sidebar.
Even with its limitations, the interface design has remained a contemporary exemplar of how to minimize a browser’s screen footprint while keeping the browser easy to use and versatile.
[url=http://37quitratrosnens1979.bravejournal.com/#how_to_get_direct_link_seven_nation_army_glitch_mob]how to get direct link Seven Nation Army Glitch Mob[/url] 26 offers a complete range of modern browsing conveniences. The basics are well-represented, including tabbed browsing, new window creation, and a private browsing mode that Google calls Incognito, which disables cookie tracking, history recording, extension support, and other browsing breadcrumbs.
Incognito, known in other browsers as “private mode” and to the cognoscenti as “porn mode,” does not prevent your Internet service provider from peeking in on your Web traffic.
[url=http://40caconloka1973.bravejournal.com/#how_to_download_for_free_hp_2035n_driver_]how to download for free hp 2035n driver [/url] is based on WebKit, the same open-source engine that powers Apple Safari, Google’s Android mobile platform, and several other desktop and mobile Web-browsing tools. However, [url=http://43capgaviky1981.bravejournal.com/#where_from_get_for_free_quicktime_7_5_5]where from get for free QuickTime 7.5.5[/url] runs on a different JavaScript engine than its WebKit cousins, and there are other changes as well.
Along with hardware-accelerated 3D CSS, there have been interesting security improvements. You can delete Flash cookies from [url=http://snorquetiffa197335.eklablog.com/#get_link_stoned_immaculate_curren_y]get link Stoned Immaculate Curren Y[/url], which makes sense given that [url=http://38senbsilingvi1988.bravejournal.com/#where_from_download_no_ads_horizon_modding_tool]where from download no ads Horizon Modding Tool[/url] comes with Flash built in, and there’s a Safe Browsing protection against downloading malicious files. [url=http://43chandagiri1973.bravejournal.com/#how_to_download_no_virus_backyard_baseball_2001]how to download no virus Backyard Baseball 2001[/url] Web app support now includes the capability to launch Web apps from the location bar. This gives keyboard jockeys a bit more power to avoid mousing around, more readily apparent in [url=http://wolamitgi198832.jigsy.com/#get_no_ads_john_mayer_born_and_raised]get no ads John Mayer Born And Raised[/url] OS but nevertheless good to have in the regular old [url=http://sisnewsfirpo197121.jigsy.com/#nikon_view_nx2_download_for_free]Nikon View Nx2 download for free[/url] browser. You can also change plug-ins like Flash from loading automatically to click-to-run, both as a security feature and a page-load time saver.
There’s Native Client, too. Also known as NaCl, it’s open-source technology developed by Google that allows C and C++ code to be securely run in the browser. It basically lets software run within two protected sandboxes, which will theoretically cut down on browser-based threats dramatically. When completed, NaCl will enable Web apps to run as smoothly as programs that are hosted on your hard drive.
Besides allowing you to disable JavaScript, [url=http://erutatfee197026.eklablog.com/#how_to_download_fast_avid_dnxhd_codec]how to download fast Avid Dnxhd Codec[/url] will automatically block Web sites that are known to promulgate phishing attacks and malware threats or be otherwise unsafe. The usefulness of this depends on Google’s capability to flag Web sites as risky, though, and so it’s recommended to use an add-on like the Web of Trust extension or a separate security program to block threats.
Although [url=http://sisrisandter197232.eklablog.com/#where_from_download_no_file_hosting_usb_xtaf]where from download no file hosting Usb Xtaf[/url] has a poor reputation for privacy because of its Google origins, it actually does offer a lot of privacy-tweaking settings. You can toggle and customize most of the browser’s privacy and security settings. Cookies, image management, JavaScript, plug-ins, pop-ups, location information, and notifications can be adjusted from the Content Settings button. This includes toggling specific plug-ins, such as the built-in Adobe Flash plug-in or the [url=http://36bubbbotvafes1988.bravejournal.com/#cisco_nac_agent_download_link]Cisco Nac Agent download link[/url] PDF reader (which is deactivated by default). Still, that’s not going to be enough for many people. If you’re not comfortable using [url=http://38senbsilingvi1988.bravejournal.com/#how_to_get_no_file_hosting_horizon_modding_tool]how to get no file hosting Horizon Modding Tool[/url] because of privacy concerns, we recommend the independent browsers Firefox or Opera.
[url=http://umalprosin197929.eklablog.com/#where_from_get_fast_lone_survivor_game]where from get fast Lone Survivor Game[/url] offers malware scanning on Web pages to include downloads, and the precaching tool for loading sites in your search results early works with the Omnibox location bar.

I do not know if it’s just me or if everybody else experiencing issues with your site.
It looks like some of the text on your posts are running off the screen.
Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well?
This might be a problem with my web browser because I’ve had this happen before.
Thank you
