Trying to get you a solid answer, but the best bet right now is 30 days. Seems that is the usual expiration, but it is up to the Amphur, so it may be more (but likely not less).

The members only area of the forum allows a more open discussion on Pattaya. It is not subject to the same restrictions and censorship as the Open Forum. It is a little more adult oriented. Please understand that this is NOT a porn site. If you are looking for porn you will be disappointed. Save yourself and the Webmaster some time and don't apply. Membership is restricted to people over 18 years of age, and is subject to verification as detailed below. Membership is free. Here is what you need to do to get in... Step 1: Before you apply for membership you must register f

Forum Rules No flames ever for any reason. No posts designed to upset other members. If you enjoy upsetting people even if you stay within the rules, you will still be warned. Absolutely no discussion on girls under 18 will be allowed. It's not my thing and I don't want to hear about it in any way shape or form. Please do not post explicit x-rated photos or videos. Nude r-rated ones are OK but any showing explicit sexual activity will be deleted and the member warned. This is not my idea but a requirement of Thai law. No racist or bigoted comments. Comments wh

Hi guys, The background processes have finally finished, so all old posts should now appear properly (photos, links, etc). That makes the upgrade finally complete. I have also turned on enforcement of SSL, so all parts of the forum should now show as SECURE in your browser. This is something pattayatalk has never had, so please let me know if you have any problems because of it. Moving forward the costs for the site have gone up quite a bit, with the SSL and Email solutions (and I am working on doing email locally instead to save that cost), I will be looking in to putting som

Ya we will be experimenting with it and other logos as soon as the background processes are done. Should be late tomorrow, or early the next day.

The secure thing will be fixed soon. Am waiting for the background processes to finish before I enforce the SSL change. For the other, try this: Activity --> Unread Content

If I understand what you mean... Mouse over the Activity tab at the top... and choose Unread Content. that shows things you have not yet read.

UPDATE: The email issue has been resolved. The contact form now works properly. Important: I know at least 2 people sent contact form requests that were not received, and 3 others used the forgot password link and did not receive their emails. Due to the nature of the system I do not know who these people were and I cannot resend that info. Hopefully whoever you are you are reading this and will try again now :)

UPDATE: Email is still having some minor issues. This means the CONTACT FORM and the FORGOT PASSWORD links may not work correctly. if you are a member and having any issues that require our notice, like you cannot log in, feel free to email me directly at flbbar@gmail.com, at least until I get this sorted out.

UPDATE: Email is now back up and working. For the time being, until I can get a count of the number of emails we send out daily, I am using sendgrid for email service, to ensure that they all get out ok. Its free for 40k emails for the first month, then 100 per day (for free). If we go over the 100 per day (very likely), ill have to either change up or pay a monthly fee. Will see how it goes.

UPDATE: Tapatalk has now been fixed and should be working properly.

First kinda major issue has arisen. Tapatalk is not working. I have identified the problem, but its not one I can fix. I have opened a support ticket from tapatalk and anticipate a speedy solution.

After the background process complete I will figure out how to turn all that on. To be honest I don't want to mess with any non-critical change at all while they are ongoing.

Thanks for posting. Seeing a whole lot of IP activity but nobody posting was making me nervous lol. I can't tell how many of the 20+ "online users" are google bots. Most are guests. But if you can log in and post, then I think its safe to say its working :)

One more update: EMAIL will not be working today. I know that its not working, and I am purposely not fixing it yet. I will do that either later today or tomorrow.

Hi Guys, The upgrade process has been successful. It was started at 3am Thai time, and it is now 6:13am as I write this. The forum is up and seems to be working fine, and as soon as I submit this post (and assuming it works - this is the last test), I will be redirecting all old traffic to this new forum post, so you will see it first if you are visiting from the old URL. So, first off. The new URL. I have changed the forums URL to https://forums.pattayatalk.com (it used to be pattayatalk.com/forums). This change comes with some drawbacks, mostly involving google and content alrea

I would be all for that. Will take it up after the upgrade. Doing the initial file transfer now. Once its done, I will have to shut down this website and do it again, updating only changed files (one of the steps I am doing to speed up the transfer process, since doing a full file transfer takes almost 3 hours). I expect this site to go down in a hour or less. Hopefully we will be back up before the sun :)

Good points all. I do not know what Pete's original intention was, but considering the nature of the forums I strongly suspect it was not intended to portray talking. in any case, for the immediate time being its what we have to work with, until I pay another designer to give it another go. I am terrible with graphic design. give me a good coding issue and I can fix it no problem... but I'm, afraid my stick figures are not recognizable as stick figures when it comes to drawing of any kind lol. I am prepping the servers for the upgrade now. I plan to start it in the next couple hours.

i can ask... but I can't just use one from a google search. Thats illegal :) Most likely the one the guy I hired used is illegal too, but purchasing it from him gives me legal cover lol.

Ok, now we're getting somewhere. Can't decide which looks better on the site tho. The colored one may be "too much"... but the white one makes the mouth look over-colored. Thoughts anyone? The white background one will look like this (had to screenshot it from the test forum, since this page has a white background and you cant see it here)

Another note to self: When hiring a random barely-english-speaking guy from fiverr.com to redo your logo, make sure you are very explicit with what you want. Sent him our current logo. Told him to make it almost exactly the same, just updated to be more modern and with a color scheme to fit the new forums, and I provided him a link to the test forums to see the colors there. The test forums were at ptalk.servingtulsa.com (which is now down, obviously). Here is the logo I got back lol. Lets hope round 2 goes better. Asked him to add shading and perhaps change the colors a bit. Its too... w

The time is come... Pattayatalk is getting a facelift. Or maybe beer goggles. Or both. I will be taking the current site down at some point on Saturday Dec 15 (no set time - just after I wake up), and I will be doing the upgrade to the latest forum software. I expect the downtime to be less than 6 hours, and with any luck only about 2-3. If any unexpected issues arise during the transition, I will cancel the upgrade and re-activate this website. After the upgrade, the URL for the forums will change slightly, but going to either www.pattayatalk.com or www.pattayatalk.com/forums w

Yes, very easy. I suggest you complete the registration process and become a standard member of the forum. You will see much more content, including stuff you will want to know before moving here.

Ok guys. Todays update went much better and faster than the others, mostly because I am pre-empting all the errors now with a script that I run before and during the transfer process that kills the errors at the root. Total time for this latest upgrade was only 3.5 hours. Not bad considering the file transfer alone takes almost 2 hours. Now the fun part. I need some of you to try to break it. I am going to make a post in the secure section (this is in the open section) with the URL for the test site. What want from you guys is to take a look, make a test post. Look shit up. Try t

Hmm. Good ideas. New forum title? Lets revisit that idea once I get us moved. And on that note, I am in the middle right now of the last test-transfer. I know I have done a lot of these, but each time I have found new issues... so ill continue to do them until all of the issues are solved during the process (and not discovered for the first time). With any luck this one will do the trick, and if so I will leave the test site up tomorrow for the mods to play with for a day or 3, then do the move for real. ITs very close now... I suspect all issues will be fixed by my scripts this run. I ho
