The Sand Trap is now on a new, faster, newer server.

More importantly, it's running Invision Power Community software version 4.5.4, a BIG upgrade from 4.4.10.

Over the next few days I'll be making some tweaks to a few things.

  • Some of the pagination could be better colors.
  • The post numbering starts over at 1 on every page, but I've written to the developer.
  • I removed a lot of old cruft from the custom CSS file. The site is a bit cleaner, though a bit more "spaced out" in some places, too.

If you have any questions, notice something goofy, or anything… post it here!

I'm sure you did your due diligence and I'm certain all will be fine but I'd just give you fair warning to watch out for the @Vinskbug in this particular version which is a known ransomware variant causing the dreaded shanks in unsuspecting readers. There's also the sneaky @Double Mocha Manworm which forces the rest of us to laugh at those who've caught the shanks from the above malware. Just sayin'...

Looking good, Billy Ray. The colors were driving me nuts yesterday, but most of that seems to be cleaned up. Still not a huge fan of the dark silhouette with backlight on the upper right, but at least I can see them now. Thanks again for all that you do.

The silhouette is the best I could do. I think those button colors are tied to other things, where the dark green color is necessary. I may fiddle with those more, as I'm not a fan of the "glow" look.

I figured that you were looking hard when I saw that it had changed a couple of times. It's at least usable for now. For a second yesterday, I thought that the whole thing had come crashing down lol.

I am too! 🙂 It's still mostly the same, of course, but it's cleaner and has a bit more space in some places.

yea, it is more pleasing to the eye. Not sure the specifics, maybe things blend better together. Nothing really stands out. It feels like some lines are not as bold or thick.

See up above. That might change out, even if it's just via CSS like how I added the "glow" (just a drop shadow in each direction. And a color that will work against both the grass and the sand.

Who are you asking? If you're asking me, that's text with a text shadow applied.

It's not a big deal but I notice that the breadcrumbs are slightly different and the new breadcrumb has a bit of extra whitespace between the breadcrumb and the forum title. Here's the old breadcrumb (from the web wayback machine):

Old-Breadcrumb.thumb.jpg.c251bf2df956be7f6895b1a52ef129cb.jpg

Here's the new breadcrumb:

New-Breadcrumb.thumb.jpg.13a5d47b15c6f0b09861056fc8de8028.jpg

Also, I find it a bit more difficult to read the portion of the menu pertaining to logging in. Just my 2 tees worth...

Hope that helps...

The WayBack machine isn’t showing you an ad, which has been in that space for years.

If you aren’t seeing ads, either, I’d ask you to disable any ad blockers or whatever that you have for this site. It’s the way we keep the lights on here. Or become a Supporter and you’ll see far, far fewer ads.

How often do you have to log in?

I haven’t looked at a login. I’ll take a look at that later.

I just went with white text and removed the shadow/glow look.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
