New registry website

[DaveK]

For some time we have been redeveloping the ZR-1 Net Registry site (www.zr1netregistry.com) into an easier to use site using the latest technology to make it more responsive to users’ needs as well as easier to maintain. This work is now entering the final stages of completion and the transfer to the new site has begun.

During this transfer period (which could last a few days) you may see the new site, the old site or nothing at all as the changes propagate to your local ISP and name servers. We ask for your patience during this time. After the transfer has stabilized we will be distributing individual log in information to ZR-1 Net Registry Members.

Thanks

Dave

[QB93Z]

Thanks Dave for all of your hard work on the new Registry Website.

I like the new layout.

Just as an opinion after viewing the new site -----

"Please don't state that there will be a Quaterly Newsletter."

It just doesn't seem reaslistic that it can happen as expected. If the infighting starts up again, I will probably not re-join. My reason for being here does not include the BS drama.

Respectfully

Brett

[DaveK]

Thanks for the comments Brett, glad you like it.

Dave

[Blue Flame Restorations]

I forgot to say the obvious though.........Great job, Dave.:dancing

[scottfab]

Where/How do you want bugs submitted?

[DaveK]

Just email me any bugs etc.

Thanks

Dave

[-=Jeff=-]

Looks good. it is more modern and has an updated look.

Is the forum URL changing as well? I know you also mentioned of new forum software, when might this take place?

[DaveK]

Thanks Jeff.

We're looking at the forum but wanted to get the site out first. What we're looking to do is make the forum integrated directly with the website so that we just have one access point for everyone. We're probably looking at a couple of months or so before we make any changes to the forum and we'll give everyone plenty of notice.

[Paul in SC]

Looks real good, guys!!

Nice job so far.

[Kevin]

looks great on a computer browser...very hard to navigate on ios

[DaveK]

Thanks Kevin. The skin is supposed to work on mobile devices and I tested it as well as I could. Are there any specific issues you're seeing? It seems to work okay on my android device.

lots of scrolling is necessary to find anything, lots of dark spaces. i can send screen shots if that would help. i really like how it looks on the computer.

[DaveK]

Screenshots would help a lot thanks. If you could send them to me at webmaster@zr1netregistry.com you can help me test my mail set up as well :)

Thanks

looks fine on my iPad ... except in the ZR-1s for sale - when I touch a photo, the linked photo ends up under the one I touched.
Same on the iMac with Firefox ...

[A1990]

Thanks everyone, the feedback is important.

[Fully Vetted]

My initial impression is it's 1000% better than the old sight. Not that the old one was bad but it was definitely dated.

:cheers:

[Fully Vetted]

One suggestion - I clicked on a link on the Registry website that brought me to the Forum. It'd be nice if there was a link to take me back to the Registry.

[GOLDCYLON]

Like the up to date Layout.

[WVZR-1]

Well for the past 60 or so minutes I get the old "homepage" missing all the links
across the top, down the left side, right side and all across the bottom.



I believe if anyone see's the old "HOME PAGE" if they clear their "COOKIES" and BROWSER HISTORY" they'll have no trouble getting to the NEW HOME" !!!!

[DaveK]

Clearing history and browser cache may help but the changes can take a few days to work themselves around the world.

Thanks

Dave

[LGAFF]

Holy SHT ......amazing work!

[DaveK]

Thanks Lee!

[ZONER 95]

Nice first impression .....great job!...

[4CAM LT5]

Thanks Dave for all of your hard work on the new Registry Website.

Jim

I agree with Jim. I got a "peek" at the new Web site....and it appears to be a major improvement over the old site. Great work...!!

[DaveK]

Thanks everyone.

I've had reports of a problem with IE8 where the latest news ticker floats over the top of the car banner. It looks like an IE specific problem, can anyone confirm if it works okay or not in IE9?

Thanks

Dave

[DaveK]

Update: I think I have fixed the IE8 issue.

Dave

[QB93Z]

I use IE8 and the news banner appears to be working now.

Jim

[DaveK]

Thanks for confirming that Jim

Dave

[4CAM LT5]

I use the Google Chrome browser, and the site works great...no problems.

[DaveK]

Thanks for confirming that 4CAM LT5. I did test it on firefox, chrome and IE during development as well as several mobile browsers.

IE is always a pain though, especially older versions.

Dave

[limey]

Does the site have the ability to track hits when a visitor clicks sponsor links?

[gbrtng]

looks fine on my iPad ... except in the ZR-1s for sale - when I touch a photo, the linked photo ends up under the one I touched.

Just checked - linked photos are still hidden ...

[DaveK]

Just checked - linked photos are still hidden ...

Could you try clearing your cache - I put in a fix for this earlier that should have done the trick. I don't have anything "Apple" to check withe their browser though.

Thanks

Dave

[DaveK]

One suggestion - I clicked on a link on the Registry website that brought me to the Forum. It'd be nice if there was a link to take me back to the Registry.

At the moment the two are completely separate sites so it's hard to do this. We're looking at bringing everything together down the line though.

Thanks

Dave

[scottfab]

I saw the problem on a PC running firefox. I had it written up
in the list I'm sending to you via email. Any image clicked would
appear behind the parent page.
But you did fix it. All it takes is doing a page refresh to see the
fix.
All images now appear in front of the parent as would be expected.

It's OK on both iPad and iMac now. Doing a refresh did the trick.

Thanks GB!

[Meanmyz]

So far I am really liking the new site "home page". I see you guys have really gone after the misconceptions about our cars as well as really touting it's strengths, which is GREAT! Hopefully this will do a little in helping bring values up where they should be.

Anybody doing a little research and running across our site SHOULD get properly educated on the true and original "King of the Hill" Imho, it is a car that taps into the senses like no other...Hey do we have a trademark on "Permagrin"?! :cheers:

[WVZR-1]

Should "members only" login work from the new "home page"?

I was trying to find some information that I would have guessed required a "login". What I thought was current didn't work.

[DaveK]

There's a members only section that isn't online yet but will be shortly. The old "Member's Only" section and logins will no longer work. When we bring up the new member section we will provide people with login accounts to be able to access it.

It should be there in a couple of days or so, we just need to make sure everything is working okay after the site transfer.

Watch this space! :cheers:

Dave

[Jetjock]

Dave, love the site! I didn't know if my sign-in would work but after reading the previous e-mail, understand why not. I tried the e-mail and it didn't work either. Looking real good!

:cheers:

[vilant]

The new site looks great:thumbsup:. Great work fellas.

[DaveK]

Thanks guys!

[A1990]

great idea about "permagrin"...maybe we should pursue this ?

Must have been a lot of effort, Dave. Just to let you know by way of bugs, I wasn't able to log in using the login button on the reconfigured site. It worked fine when I clicked on an article and logged in thereafter.

Thanks,

Bob

[-=Jeff=-]

Cheers!!

[DaveK]

Thanks Bob

I'm a little confused though. Logging in is set as restricted just for now so you shouldn't be able to get in. We'll be opening that up in a couple of days and providing log in information for everyone. Could you send me a screenshot of what you see when you're logged in and what username you logged in with? (webmaster@zr1netregistry.com)

It's been a lot of work. Around 700 hours over the last 6 months.

Wow - that's a lot of effort, Dave. We appreciate it!

Thanks for the clarification on the login; that makes sense. I got logged in after I clicked on one of the articles on your newly-presented site. It brought me to the thread and I was able to log in using the small panes in the top right as we always did. Hope this makes sense.

Don't worry about my original post. You've answered my concern - we'll be good when you get another step or two along the process.

Many thanks.

FANTABULOUS job on the website Dave. Just awesome! :dancing

[WVZR-1]

I would have guessed with the new "web page" being unavailable for a considerable length of time that a "responsible" person might have posted to the "forum" perhaps what the situation is and maybe when to look for a "return to service"!

Everyone was so quick to "pat the backs" !

I had no problems accessing it since it went "live" but I'm well past I believe 24 hours of "not available"!

[DaveK]

Hi WVZR-1

I posted on the first post of this thread that the site could be "down" or show weird things for "several days". When a domain name pointer is changed, it can take all of that time for the changes to percolate around the various nameservers around the world. We have no control over that, it is entirely a function of how the internet works and how quickly the local name servers are updated. That is also why I can't say with any exactitude when you will see it "come back".

I know that some people saw the new site within about an hour, which is pretty amazing. I couldn't see it through the zr1netregistry.com address for about a day. Others may have taken longer.

I'm glad you can see it now.

Dave

I've NOT been able to access it for 24 hours+! I mentioned I was able to until probably yesterday AM 6AM EDT

Considering there's been "no pats on the back" for better than 30 hours or so I'd guess it's not a "localized" issue!

[DaveK]

Okay, so you're saying that you COULD see it after the switch but haven't been able to for the last 24 hours? Is that correct?

Not sure what the problem is then. I can see it fine and I have no other reports of people not being able to access it. I'd suggest clearing your browser cache and see if that helps. It certainly sounds like a localized issue though.

[DaveK]

Update: I'm seeing it as unnaccessible now. Looking into it.

[A1990]

I see it is back up. Do we know what happened?

[DaveK]

Yes its back up. There was a glitch when switching to the static IP for the SSL certificate.

Thanks

Dave

[A1990]

Yes its back up. There was a glitch when switching to the static IP for the SSL certificate.

Thanks

That makes sense. Forgot about that switch. The static IP with the SSL certificate was the only way to go.

Been there don't that. There's more that one place the change has to happen.

[vilant]

Hi Dave, is the parts list still available? Can't seem to find it. Liked to use it to cross-reference the p/n.:cheers:

[DaveK]

Hi Vilant

The parts list is available in the members section which we haven't brought online just yet. Login details will be coming out in a little while that will give access to it.

Thanks

Dave

Ok, cool. Things are coming along nicely. And to think, things are just going to get nicer:thumbsup:. Thanks, again.

[DaveK]

Login details have been sent out to members via email. This will give you access to the members section of the website. These are individual accounts not one global members password like before.

Apologies for those who receive the email twice. My web company dropped the hammer on me part way through sending because they thought I was a spammer and I had to restart after talking to them :o

If you are a member and don't receive the email in the next few hours drop me a line at webmaster@zr1netregistry.com.

Thanks

Dave

[DaveK]

An added couple of bonuses - Heart of the beast #27 and the third quarter financials are also available through the members only section.

Thanks

Dave

"Thanks Dave" just doesn't quite seem enough. If my schedule permitted I would be tempted to crank up the Z and leave immediately for a non-stop road trip to Canada in order to :cheers: with Dave (my treat, of course). Perhaps we can tip a few at the next gathering.

For those of you who have never worked with web design or been involved with computer programming it's virtually impossible to explain the incredible feat that DaveK has just completed.

Question, how will the two issues of HOTB, #27 & # 28, be delivered to those who were members in 2011?

[Hammer]

By the way, the new website does look very nice and is a great upgrade. Easier to use and browse around. One suggestion, or several actually (that I have made before when a member) is to have an area where non-members could see what's happening within the Registry and could prompt new people to join. The minutes of Board Meetings, the financials and the next agenda are all items that could go there. Those are normal items that can be found on most front pages of clubs that are truly transparent.

John Boyd

[DaveK]

Thanks for the comments and suggestions John. I can't really answer your question about what happens to 2011 members and the HOTB, I'm just dealing with the website. Hopefully someone from the board will speak up on that matter.

Dave

[DaveK]

Thanks George, it's cold up here so you wouldn't like it :)

I apologize if my unedited post caused confusion.

Good ideas & suggestions which need to be considered. However, we have a few members who do not have/use computers and therefore must receive their copy via mail. We also provide a copy to the National Corvette Museum's archives and that's something I would want continued. And we still have a number of members who subscribe to the printed copy simply because they prefer reading from a "magazine" format rather than electronic delivery. You are correct in that PDF delivery would be simple, quicker, and certainly less expensive.

It's also a sign of the times as well as being a bit troubling for those of us who are "old fashioned" when you see more & more newspapers and other printed media turning to electronic delivery ... i.e. Newsweek's recent announcement that they will no longer provide a printed version after Dec. 31.

works great..

If you use the "remember" option at least you don't need to keep entering it. :thumbsup:

[scottfab]

...snip...

I hear you on the passwords. I started an excel spreadsheet, last count for personal, business & family trusts was over 200. I guess all this access has it's price.

Word of caution. These files are targets for hackers and/or key-capture type spybots. If you do use a single file for such NEVER use the word "password" in the title or anywhere within it. Also never type the entire password out. Use your own encrypton like this. use a core password with modifiers.
For instance if you have as a core "TuBiD" then you can memorize that part and NEVER write it anywhere. Then record your passwords in the excel sheet as "ABxx$$" where "xx" is your "TuBiD" core password.
You can create any number of passwords with this scheme.
AND be sure if someone finds you password fine they can't use it.

I don't recommend ANY password storing application. Lots of reasons that I won't go into here.

Just some opinions from 20+ years in the software industry 10 of which were involve with security.

[DaveK]

I've used Keepass for many years - very solid and free

Nice website...hats off to the folks doing the work.

I've gathered a lot of useful info here...


I don't have a ZR-1, just a plain ol' C4...but I have been checking out the "ZR-1s for sale" section for quite some time now. One thing I found useful on the old version was the "date updated" in the ZR-1s for sale section. Any chance that will be added on this version?

I'm nervous (old fashioned) about keeping info like that out there in "the cloud".
I have, but haven't opened yet, some gadget that looks like a calculator that stores all your passwords.
I'd probably forget the password to get to my passwords!

PS: I'd also like to see in the Parts for Sale section the seller and price without having to leave the page.

I think the progression is L98, LT4, LT5
It's a way of encrypting ones forum experience level.
What it should be is:
LT5 349ci
LT5 368ci
LT5 380ci
LT5 402ci
LT5 415ci
LT5 427ci

I've used Keepass for many years - very solid and free

I've been thinking of looking for a phone app though for more convenience.

Google this "keepass security vulnerabilities"
And that is not a complete list.

There's no such thing as perfect security. I've never come across anything that doesn't have vulnerabilities. I find keepass works well for me, YMMV.

Dynomite - I'm looking for something on android.

We're getting a bit O/T here. Maybe we need a topic on internet security (or lack of) :)

Hi Vettish

I could probably show the date listed, not sure I could show the date last updated. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it.

Dave


looks like you looked into it...

Thanks! :)


:thumbsup:

[DaveK]

Yes. Date listed and last edited are now on the cars and parts for sale ads. I had several people who also said that they were useful.

Hope that helps. The ads are set to expire automatically after 3 months, so nothing should ever be massively "stale".

Thanks

Thanks again, Dave.

Dave thank you for adding me to the registry and thank you for all your hard work I am sure we all appreciate it very much.

I like the new, more modern look of the registry website.
Easy to navigate and well organized. But......
JMHO, the "Parts" section in Marketplace aint workin'.
And the fact that the last part listed was posted about
a month ago. I think more info needs to be listed on
the first page: like seller and price.

[DaveK]

Thanks for the comments TF. When you say the "Parts" section isn't working, are you meaning the things you mention with regard to viewing the price etc. up front or do you mean the parts section doesn't actually work?

I can certainly change things around to make more information available up front. That will hopefully help. The page itself seems to be working properly as far as I can tell.

The parts available on it are based on what people have submitted of course. The last parts for sale form came in last month and the others that were on have expired.

One of the issues with the for sale sections is that we're kind of duplicating things on the forum and the website. With for sale (cars and parts) and wanted (parts) sections both on the website and here on the forum. I'd be interested in getting feedback on which provides the best solution so that we could look at eliminating the duplication down the line.

Thanks

Dave

Dave,
No, the section (& entire website) work just fine.
And good point, maybe people just aren't
listing ZR-1 parts there anymore for sale.
I do, though, still look there and think it would be
helpful to list the seller and item price.
Again, great job for a tough job!
