HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
As those who use use our Dark Styles have accidently learned... I am working on things. Trying to freshen things up.
Let me tell you the story how this came about.
I talked with someone from Google Adsense the other day and they suggested that I am missing out on revenue for the site as I don't have an ad in what they consider the highest paying site for a website like ours, the top right in the header.
This Xenforo software with UI.X is hard to modify and I tried for about a day to put an add in the header on the top right. I couldn't get it.
My wife suggested I ask ChatGPT. Now I haven't really used ChatGPT before. I toyed with it to make and clean up graphics before but that was really about it.
So I went to chat GPT and said "Can you please help me add a 720x90 ad space in the header of my website and give me the HTML code to do this?"
To which it asked me for the website address which I gave it, it took a look and said sure I can help, I can give you the code, but I notice you are running the Xenforo forum software and are using the UI.X style. Looking at your site, I can not only help you with the ad in the header, but I can help you make the site look more modern instead of the generic Xenforo / UI.X look it has now. Would you like me to help with this?
I said sure.. and off we went.
It then asked me if I wanted it to alter the sites style code our just make all the changes via the CSS. Since I have never done this before I told it just alter the CSS code. And it said sure and started giving me code to past into our extra_css file. After each change it would ask for a screenshot to check its work. Yesterday I uploaded over 200 screenshots to ChatCPT as it worked to modernize our look. If I didn't like something I would let it know and it would agree with me and make changes until I was happy.
I was amazed at how well it knew our software and how it also knew a lot of our plugins and worked to make changes that worked with our plugins.
Now as some folks noticed... I made changes to the dark theme.. and did so by mistake. I thought I was working on the private test dark theme I made. Whoops.
Today I will revert back to the old Dark Theme and apply the CSS changes to the proper test theme. I am reading your feedback and folks seem to like the changes, and I am also making note of what people would like to see tweaked as well.
The reason for reverting back is because I want ChatGPT to do it all again, but this time I want it to modify the style code, which should make things even better, as changes are limited in just the .css code. So I am making another set of test styles and will let ChatCPT go crazy and see how good it can make the place look.
When its done I will place all the test styles online and let you guys pick which one you like best.
I never knew ChatGPT could do this and was well versed on Xenforo. am amazed as its like working with a person who knows what they are doing.
So stay tuned! Good stuff is coming.

Is this an oblique reference to an old pregnancy test?
No an old battery commercial.

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Can't help but wonder if a worker overlooked checking the harness. I rarely ride a roller coaster anymore but when I do I check the harness myself pretty aggressively.
Can't imagine what the son is going through.

It makes sense, however, I would want more types of restraints, so if one doesn't work, the other does ... the restraints coming over the shoulder I would have expected ... with a Seat belt as last resort.
Fwiw, I inquired with what they use on Coasters at Cedar Point, various Coasters, different restraints according to what the car and track requires ...
NONE of the Coasters at CP use THAT particular system
I'm glad to see ...
