I just got the 502 error. In fact, I can't even get to the Tapatalk support website. Nothing at all displays. No error messages, just a white screen. :s_rofl Oh, this is going to be fun... NOT! :s_hang

I know you don't want to hear this H with all the work you have put into this, but maybe it is time to look at entirely new hosting company and server.

I have worked with Weebly, I know many of their backgrounds are preset but it is just a thought. Things can be changed around with backgrounds and colors as I have run into for many customers.

With them it is something like $79 for two years for over 25 pages.

That is what I originally wanted to do when I first heard about this and went to get a backup of the forum database - move it to another phpbb compatible host. Without a backup to migrate to a new host, we would have to start all over from scratch with an empty forum. Not being able to get a backup was the killer for me. Moving to Tapatalk is not anything I want to do.

I am taking one last shot at trying to get a backup from Tapatalk support since I can no longer get it myself - https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/tapatal ... 36686.html

The little boxes above all the reply box........What you use to change the size, color and post videos....I call them the little thingy's

I know what and how to use them on this website, but I tried for two hours on the new website to figure out what they meant and if you will look I could only change color successfully .....I am sorry but I couldn't figure it out and everything I tried just made it worse...

Annalee - I made some test posts in your contest topic with photos and tweets. I found that if you move the mouse pointer over the icons, you get a little pop up that tells you what each one is - Emojis, Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, font size, Font color, etc. What else are you looking for?

Hey, y'all! Yesterday I got the 502 thing. Today I got through and it seemed the site was up to date. It might be a lag issue as I'm still happy with windows 7, (why did they think they needed to improve upon perfection!). Gary, don't start pulling your hair out by the roots! I'm gonna say a prayer or two for you because of what you do for us SHR fans.
I'm gonna go back to tapout and try to log-in and leave a snarky comment...BTW....woke-up 2 weeks ago and my left hand doesn't work anymore. It's hard to type! - Alan.
