    Passing The Torch

    Howdy Folks, Today, I pass the baton to @Jeff Romard to run ODJT. I've been at this nearly 15 years. Its the longest I've done anything. The last couple of years my heart hasn't been in running the day to day operations. This led to things not being done in a timely matter and such...

    ProDJReview.com

    Hi Guys, I bought ProDJReview.com a few weeks back. If that domain sounds familiar it's because Ken Heath used to own it. He's a hosting client of mine and decided to let the domain expire. I decided to buy it because a) it's aged and b) it's a pretty good name. Ken was gracious enough to...

    Tapatalk Removed

    Hi Folks, I've removed Tapatalk from ODJT. It's been a long time coming. Tapatalk has had serious security issues in the past and very questionable ethics. I no longer feel comfortable running Tapatalk on ODJT. Another forum owner (whom I don't know) wrote a long post outlining the pitfalls...

    Server Migration

    Hi Guys, We had a quick server migration this afternoon. I'd noticed quite a bit of sluggishness on the old server especially when it came to database commits (submitting posts or adding likes). We were rubbing up against the RAM limit on our old server. An upgrade with the current provider...

    Peloton didn't license music...sued for 150M

    https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/20/peloton-sued-150-million-lawsuit-for-playing-unlicensed-music It's funny the first time I seen the commercial with Jay-z's On To The Next One I thought to myself I wonder how much they paid to license that. The answer is probably not much. :sqeek: Reading...

    Did some much needed housekeeping done today

    At the suggestion of @steve149 it's now clearer which forums are public and private. Each forum's description is prefixed with [PUBLIC] or [PRIVATE]. In addition all private boards have a ^ (carat) after their title and public boards have an * (asterisk). There is also a legend at the bottom of...

    Jeff Gets A Bigger Stick 😱

    @Jeff Romard one of our longest serving moderators has graciously come aboard as a third administrator. Not much will change. He just has a bigger key ring to take care of business when I'm not around. Thanks for stepping up Jeff. :cheers2:

    ODJT Looks a little different

    Hi Guys, This evening I upgraded ODJT to the latest and greatest of our forum software. I spoke about the new features here (https://ourdjtalk.com/threads/coming-to-a-dj-forum-near-you-soon.49147/) Unfortunately the upgrade broke our default style. I have a ticket into their developers but in...

    Started a little clean up

    Hi Folks, I haven't been paying attention to what forum a thread belongs in for a while. Today, I started cleaning up The Big Show a bit moving threads to forums where they fit better. This both keeps TBS cleaner and populates some of the less trafficked boards. If you get a notification one...

    Social Media Links on your ODJT profile

    Hi Guys, I made a couple of small changes here for the social media links on your ODJT profile (https://ourdjtalk.com/account/account-details). They're now hyperlinks. Why the developers decided to just list a screen name baffles me. There's a new field for a direct link to your business...

    Two Factor Authentication Now Works

    Hi Guys, Now that we're on a new server and it keeps the proper time two factor authentication works. It's not a huge deal but if the security of your account is important to you and/or you tend to use the same password every where (shame, shame) Two Factor Authentication is the best way to...

    How many forums do you follow on Tapatalk?

    Hi Guys, Tapatalk recently released a premium option where by we can have our own distinct app separate from Tapatalk's network. Basically the app would only work for ODJT and not other Tapatalk enabled sites. The app would have our logo, choice of color scheme, etc. It's not very expensive...

    Anyone using Twitter, Pintrest, or Instagram for Marketing

    As I was reading Rick and Randy's thread about Facebook marketing. It dawned on me that while they pretty much mastered a formula that works Facebook is definitely old news I'd guess for a majority of today's brides-to-be. The young to mid twenty somethings are all over Twitter and Instagram...
