Today we are adding a new rule since our community expands well onto Twitch & YouTube: The Community Rule If you're toxic in the community we may apply a community ban which is to protect our community members from toxic behavior. This can be anywhere from a Twitch stream to YouTube. Cat fishing, harassment, etc has a zero tolerance policy and will be permanently banned. All Community Bans will be discussed internally with our administration and moderation team before action is taken. If you are banned it is to protect our community members from extreme behavior.

I've provided an update to the original post, THANK YOU ALL!!

Hi all, It's been a tough 24 hours for me dealing with this and it's hard to even think right now. Starting yesterday my cat Gordon started throwing up over 20 times, unable to keep food or drink inside of him or even use the bathroom. For the initial hospital cost for him to stay overnight to get hydrated, get blood work, and xrays we paid 1800 which we could already barely afford. Unfortunately the doctor contacted me saying Gordon needed emergency surgery. I now owe them $3000 of money which I don't have and was denied carecredit and scratchpay. This whole situation breaks my heart and he's like a son to me. I would do anything for him. Anytime I'm down, playing guitar, gaming he comes to me and lays on me or next to me. A true buddy. If you can help please do, if you can't but know someone who can please feel free to share this. I am heartbroken and would do anything for my cat. This is one of my last resorts to see if we can get the surgery crowdfunded. I'm happy to edit this post to let you know that Gordon's surgery was a success. I have not talked to the billing department yet to figure out what we're going to do but I hope they will work with me so we can get all of this behind us and have a healthy 6 year old boy who still has plenty of life left in him. I hope everyone has a pleasant day and Gordon can make it through all of this. A donation goal has been setup and any amount helps. http://customsforge.com/donate/goal-149-fundraiser-goal-for-gordon/ Thank you so much, Mark Beeson - CustomsForge Founder UPDATE!!: Gordon has successfully woken up from surgery. They found a large string and tons of fur. I'll be arranging with the doctors on how to pay soon. At the moment I don't have much options so hopefully we can all figure something out. UPDATE!!!! 5/13/2020 Thank you everyone for the support!! It means the world. This has definitely been a journey and a learning experience. I'm so happy to report that Gordon is back home, and healing. For those who have never been a parent, but at least have an animal at home. There's no feeling in the world then helping your pet back to health by feeding him and giving him drinks with plenty of pets. He's getting better day by day and we had to move his sister to my in laws for about as week as he heals. For those who want to see what is in his stomach, all I can say is graphic warning as it's pretty gross. https://i.imgur.com/Co3DKXk.jpg (not gonna display it here, but it's basically a big bag with a long string...maybe a shoelace? bunch of hairties?) either way, I'm shocked that he was able to fit all of that in him and glad we got it out. We've worked out an arrangement with the vet and the new total is $2683 so I've adjusted the goal for that. If we're able to reach even half of that, that would help us out so much. Thank you all for being able to help.

If you're doing repairs to PC Plum's CDLC make sure to credit him, thanks!

Check the filters in the top right and try clicking the reset button next to the search button. Double check it says just "http://ignition.customsforge.com/"at the top, since filters can change the url. If none of that works try a different browser? Site being slow is normal lol. I hope to resolve this soon with the website upgrade. It's the old code unfortunately. :(

Thanks for this. This has been a long broken feature that will be fixed on the new ignition. We're not really fixing anything on old ignition unless it is super critical. If you want to check on how I4 does it just PM me on discord and I'll set you up with early pre-alpha access ;)

Amazon makes them for us and ships them

We have some new tools in development that will help you find and discover artists. The main problem was the time it took to rewrite the current ignition. It's almost done and even if we do not see some of the features requested here upon release, it will take a couple months instead of years to release any additional features. We already have genre tags (generated by a 3rd party api and not the user), a love system if you like a CDLC, and a report button. It's all looking good and I hope we can release this soon for everyone.

I think they are working on fixing all the problems since that day, and you are right, this site it's a little slow but for me it's fine for what I do. And I do the same as you; copying my typing before post it in case that some error happen. And I am a CDLC charter and sometimes I had the 502 error (I think that's the number) and if I refresh the page it happened that I upladed the same song twice, and I can't find the option to erase one of those :( so the solution was that I had to make another Custom fast to edit one of the repeated songs and change it for the new one, it's annoying but what can I do. Now that I had that experience, when I upload a CDLC (since november xd) and I get that error I just close the tab and open a new one and search for the song and that's the solution for me. I hope that in the new ignition 4 we don't have those problems but we have to wait for that. And I don't know if this is the place to say my complaints but you know them already, most of the people don't leave likes or don't comment about the song, just "add bass", "could you do this one", "this is thing is bad, and this too", but the comments saying "thanks" are so rarely to happen, the charters as me we don't get the appreciation that we deserve just if the song it's too famous even if it's super bad tabbed they get the best compliments. So the new problem that I had is that I get some old comments in my Customs but I don't read them because I don't get any notification (just the replying ones), but may be there is an option that I don't check and that's the problem, but if not they have to leave a like on the custom post so I get the like notification then I can check the comments and I could see them, but if not there is a problem. It's a lost of time looking on each CDLC if there is an old comment to respond. So if I am wrong and there's a solution like a check mark please tell me, if not they should solve it in the future. And I don't know If there are new comments while I am writting this because I heard like two times a message tone in my computer but I don't see nothing. And because I can see there is 3 guys and me reading this... Good Morning!!! Saludos. We are already working on solutions to all your complaints with Ignition4. I hope to wrap up the release and update of this soon. Once we upgrade the forums the "post" deleting issue should go away as well. I know it's frustrating and I wish I could just release ignition4 but we want it done right.

I am closing this topic as we have a new updated post: http://customsforge.com/topic/55497-state-of-customsforge-full-10182019/

Our current plan with development is to get the rewrite out asap of Ignition and upgrade the forums to the latest version. This will resolve a lot of issues. Additionally when we have the new ignition out it will be easier to push new features out since we know what we are working with now. The current code is just too integrated with the forums to do anything with, which is why we had to rewrite it. But yes, features like tags will be coming and we will be adding more features after Ignition4 gets released that the community wants. But our main goal is to get it rewritten and released so we can stop having performance issues.

A rating system will never happen and it was the downfall of the previous site before CF. A user can rate a custom bad just for not liking the artist. I was there around the end of SA and the rating system hurt a lot of charters. Rated songs 0 even if the CDLC was good. What we will introduce is a new like or report system. You can like it if you enjoy it, and add it to your collection. Or you can report the cdlc and give reasons why. But we will NEVER introduce a star rating system. No proper search engine? Ignition is our search engine and does its job I have no clue what you are on about. I agree there has been problems within the last 2 years we were near deep with an ignition prototype and our developer disappeared. We had to start over and that screwed us pretty hard. That's why this time I was involved so I could help document and learn the code. But I still don't understand how you don't use Ignition properly. I have thousands of CDLC even after my hard drive crashed its not hard to discover CDLC if you go through artist view and download songs. I'm going to have to majorly disagree with you there. I found out that the Ulitimate-guitar rating system is pretty good ; It needs 3 votes to show the rating and if the user update his tab the rating is starting all over again ; you can also make it that only users with 50+ messages can rate a cdlc ; but still i can understand how trolls can ruin the charts i just trying to find away that people will find out the good cdlcs over the bad ones My problem about the search engine is that i cant found out what im looking for For example i want: 2000s music ; female fronted ; pop ; youre search system doesnt allow me to make it and thats what need to be fix Because when i want to put up some rare charts in this website they are just got buried upon others cdlcs and getting really low downloads and thats because people dont know what it is ; and people wont click on them (even to show up the video) because there are too many cdlcs Maybe my solution is to force charters to do at least 3 Tags to explain what the songs are ; and that will show up next to the cdlc Another solution is to give a medal(that people will think its like offical chart) next to trusted users who are known as making great cdlcs ; that way it will help people choose the good cdlcs I appreciate youre work around this website and i understand you are working around to get a new version and its not all youre fault Im as a charter i dont really having fun when my cdlcs turn into a block of texts and people cannot discover them unless they know the bands name And recently when putting up some rare cdlcs that got no tabs and getting 20 downloads+10 more after a week (on my new user) Sometimes i request my cdlcs on twitch to get people to know the songs more but most of the streamers dont know those songs and already playing plenty more charts so people cant really get there what the songs about too Thats why i prefer that people will know them here with a system that explain the cdlc rather then twitch where people just get to hear it played alongside many others and get confused And people dont click on it ;trust me i got too many cdlcs and its super rare to see some giving you a thank you The new ignition will have tags, so that's a plus.

We've been under cloudflare for a long time but due to recent issues with SSL and other weird issues I had to remove the site from it. I'm still working on some odd login issues users are experiencing that has to do with SSL and cookies. The slow queries are from a function called core_like and is very intergrated with the forums and ignition. When you follow a post, like a post, reply to a post, view a record, etc this function is used. It's the largest function and is multiple gigs by itself. It's a major design flaw unfortunately but we've fixed it in the new ignition. As of right this second I am running an experiment on the website. So far it fixed performance issues but I need to see how it works during the day. Hopefully it improves performance but basically I am killing long lasting queries now. Just not sure if it's fully working yet.
