• Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

XenForo 2 upgrade

Sako Collectors Club Discussion Forum

Stonecreek, Todo
It is what it is. Like most "upgrades" it adds some useful features and some others that appeal more to software writers than they do to end users. I've dealt with this before; I spent a couple of years as the interface between an IT staff that didn't communicate in plain English and a bunch of end users who didn't want to learn anything about computers.

Anyway, don't take the complaints personally. Blame the contract employee who wrote the software for subsistence wages on an impossibly tight schedule. And anyone who has ever dealt with Microsoft knows the meaning of "not supported." (Remember the Blue Screen of Death!)
 
Well..it’s different..but similar.
I remember the last time this was necessary, it was a bit of a cluster then too…but it worked out I guess.
One thing I wish this forum technology offered is the “black screen” option which I feel is easier on the eyes.
Ps..I gave it 24 hrs before the first complaint concerning the Carbon Fiber Sako ! Man was I off! 🤣
 
Hello Todo10. I have only just logged in in the last few days and found the new looking site. Still working my way around it and how it looks and works.

One thing I have noticed - and it may be outside your remit - is that I am now having trouble getting Tapatalk to connect to the forum. I have been using Tapatalk for the last few years to be able to upload photos to threads, which I have found to be far more straightforward than other previous methods.

It may well be an issue here at my end, but thought I would just mention for your awareness. I’m still able to access other forums using Tapatalk so it does seem to be linked to the SCC update.

That being said, I’ve just tried uploading some photos to the ‘Sakos afield’ thread and seemed to work well, so maybe the Tapatalk issue is actually a no -issue.
