There was a new default theme created and I have not created new ones based on it yet. Scroll to bottom of page and click themes. Make sure it's set to default and not TIJ. If there's still a problem let me know. Michael

Recent software update to Version 4.5. Many changes to theme made us revert back to default theme for the time being. Will make up custom theme from new default theme asap. More info here: https://invisioncommunity.com/news/company/welcome-to-invision-community-45-r1206/ There's also a beta app for iOS and android if anyone want to signup as tester: https://invisioncommunity.com/news/product-updates/invision-community-apps-for-ios-android-r1161/ Michael

You're welcome! Managed to find some time to make some speed improvements. Gzip compression, caching and lazy loading images should speed things up a little. I have few more updates coming also that will also add some speed improvements in the next couple days.

The SSL cert expired and there should be a new one applied by morning.

Not being a home inspector I only see it from its SEO value... because it's copied from another site it would likely considered negative and no benefit to TIJ. To use duplicate content safely you would need a conical meta tag on this page pointing back to original content. Google would then pass link juice etc. back to the original page. This post is negative towards our seo and Google doesn't care if the original writer posted it or not, and has no way of telling if it was him or someone just ripped it off and posted it here. Not to mention this isn't a great idea for Kenton either as his original doesn't have a conical either. Larger sites can often rank better with the duplicate content than the originals sites. Conical tags on original content help stop scappers from stealing your content and ranking better than you with it. This was also posted as a topic not a reply to some question... so very lame indeed! It's just two paragraphs tho... and certainly not the first or last to be copied up here. There are probably some changes coming to our posting guidelines directed towards guest posts and link droppers, but this case is already covered in our posting guidelines: https://www.inspectorsjournal.com/guidelines/ The moderators hate censoring anyone and always try and avoid it, however many of us have wasted hundreds of hours deleting spam... it doesn't take much for a spammer or link dropper to get banned here. Simply because they waste our time! Kenton came up to TIJ riding the line... in this and his other recent posts... my advice would be to become an active participant of the community by posting original content, before dropping links and trying to gain a biz advantage. He can also talk to us about advertising costs if he wants to go that way.

As the saying goes... "it's never safe to update" LOL Sorry for the interruption. Michael

There was a problem after the last update on the weekend that caused errors and prevented posting. The errors have been fixed and all should be working as expected.

As we tried to upgrade software some setting from old server took down the site. Sorry for interruption. Michael

We have moved to a new server. Some image files are still being transferred but should be finished in the next 24 hours.

This weekend we moved to new faster server hardware and infrastructure. The name server and IP's had to be updated so the site was down for a while. During the move it looks like a couple posts got left behind on the old server(hard to time this stuff exactly). This also includes anyone else I'm hosting at nitroshock.com. Michael

I am not jumping onto Marc's bandwagon either but lets attack the comments not the commenters. This just drifted off topic. No I'm NOT trying out for moderator... it's an awful job!

I just thought i would point out that the original post was: Is a 1969 home likely to have aluminum wiring in Solon, Ohio? Everyone is welcome to their own opinion but lets try and stay on topic and not drift or hijack threads into other topics that belong in their/your own threads. That being said I admire your humility.

Thanks for all your contributions! Go have fun with the grand kids!

This is fixed now. I was looking in the wrong place for the settings... although I'm wondering how any members were able to send messages at all.

It looks like it might be a glitch in the system? I checked all your settings a couple times. Thought it might be the 5MB report you uploaded in PM... I deleted it but nothing changed yet. Somethings are not updated right away so I will leave it and check again tomorrow and see if it's still the same. Will let you know when I find the issue. We have full support from the software provider if needed.

Try it now... let me know if you find anything else. Thanks for the feedback!

If your looking for the inspector locator, it was moved back to the inspectexpress.com website for now: https://www.inspectexpress.com/locate/default.asp It will be linked up back up in the future.

We are on a new server with a different IP from before. We are also https now with new software, every page url has changed including the home page (now https). Old bookmarks are junk. It could also be the DNS Resolver Cache on your machine (pointing to old IP), it's only a couple steps to flush.

Flush and Reset the DNS Resolver Cache in Windows 8? http://mywindowshub.com/flush-and-reset-the-dns-resolver-cache-in-windows-8/ Sounds like it could be pointing at the old IP possibly? But before doing that why not try and login with a different browser on that machine?

What's the message your getting when trying to login?
