I've been trying to get in touch with anyone who runs the forum and www.zr1netregistry.com, but have been unsuccessful so far. I've sent emails to webmaster@zr1netregistry.com and president@zr1netregistry.com.
I was recently at an event with several new ZR-1 owners and registry members. Many expressed problems being able to register their vehicles on zr1netregistry.com. I am also affected as it appears the required modules will not load. modules.jpg There was also a shared concern over the old v3.8.11 of vBulletin being used on the forum given it is very much out of support and also lacking modern vBulletin features such as but not limited to tagging users and liking posts. I have a post on it here: https://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=35246 Is there any way some of us could band together to bring the site into a supported vBulletin state? Some of us new members work in the technology industry and may be able to provide some assistance. Thank you very much for any connections folks can help make. ![]()

I agree it is garbage and one of the reasons why I do not frequent it so often. If the board members can look into upgrading the site. There must enough membership funds to do something better?

I will make sure at our July meeting we discuss both the ability to registry vehicles and the forum upgrade. We weren't tracking version 6.x and what it can do for us.
I assure you funds are not the issue. If you have technical abilities please reach out to me at treasurer@zr1netregistry.com Would appreciate discussing our technology needs with you.

Thank you! While I have not received your email (I triple checked), rest assured all the history on this site is of the utmost of importance to us. As such, we have not upgraded to the later and problematic versions of this software. Similar to CF, we've stayed on the last version of the 3.x platform. (I checked their site on 7/9/2024 and they are also still on V3.x, however they've modified it on their own). We will research V6. Regarding our registry, during the last upgrade of our main website software and modules by our contracted developer, this capability was omitted and we missed our opportunity to identify the omission before we accepted the work. That said, we do update the registry often during membership reporting and renewals via our membership management software. It is our intent to have this capability reinstated during the next upgrade, which we discussed at this evening's Board of Director's meeting. Feel free to PM me, as I'm interested in any and all ideas you have to make our websites better! Regards, Mark

Hopefully, fingers crossed, if it was earlier versions of v4/v5 with issues maybe they've worked through them. At least I'd hope so all these years later, but you never know. ![]() I myself work for Microsoft. I get nervous when customers I support sometimes lag far behind on versions, sometimes for valid reasons I can't blame them for, as the institutional knowledge of what it takes and sometimes access to intermediate version binaries can become hard to find when the time does eventually come to get onto a more current edition. ![]() Quote:
