District TMV being retired

Hello readers!

District TMV, our forum-styled commenting system, is being retired tonight. There will be period of time on Saturday (04/30) where there will be no comments allowed while we bring up the traditional WordPress comment system. District TMV brought an interesting twist to TMV’s comments but has proven difficult to manage (front and behind the scenes) and has security issues.

You WILL NOT have to create a new login name and password. Your current TMV ID will work.

We will keep District TMV open in READ ONLY mode so you can view comments on previous posts.

UPDATE #1
District TMV has been officially disabled. The standard comment system is back with some twists:

1. You can edit your own comments for 5 minutes after you post it.
2. You can click the gray square above the comment box and get a bigger window to type into.
3. Facebook connect coming soon.

District TMV will be added back in the next several days so you can view previous comments made on posts. Stay tuned for more updates.

    I like the quick way to the dashboard already.

    Oh yeah. Forgot to mention that I updated TMV to the newest WordPress (v3.1.2). That’s why you get the cool bar at the top for fast dashboard access. :)

    That was a pretty quick changeover.

    Here’s hoping the new one works better and more consistently than the old one.

    Maybe this one will work properly with IE9.

    Great work T!

    And I really like being able to see how many posts have occurred to any given thread on the front page again.

    I commented on the old District TMV thread, but that’s gone now, of course, so I’ll say again what I said there:

    Thank you for all your hard work, T.

    You are a mensch. :-)

    YES Tyrone goes far beyond the call of duty and whatever he does he does efficiently and beautifully. To quote Oliver Hardy, Tyrone: “I trust you insipidly.”:)

    Thanks all. I’m just glad I’m not getting the “ERROR IN FORUM” messages anymore. :)

    Glad to see the change back to the old system. I look forward to the conversation.
