Over the next few weeks, you can expect to see forum downtime as TFP completes some of the final technical tasks in preparation for the busy Swim Season. Later this week, expect the website to be down for approximately 30 minutes as we install updates to Xenforo to address some of those pesky...

Just a quick FYI as I’ve had a few reports of issues logging into PoolMath. We’ve been able to recreate the issue and are working to address the problem now. Lee

That’s it, this weather stinks and I’m really bored! Seeing how Mother Nature this year is being a jerk I’ve found myself bored out of my mind. To help combat this boredom I’d like to toss out a really simple contest to all of you here at TFP. A coloring contest! That’s right, get out your...

But if you did see this……how’s your day going?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/01/15/fire-new-jersey-passaic-chlorine/ The TLDR version is there was a huge fire again at a pool chemical plant the other day. 🤬

I've had a few users report some headaches when uploading photos to the forum. I've tested and recreated the issue at this time. I'll keep all updated on the progress as I attempt to see what's going on this morning. (y)

As many of you have seen today we’ve had a rash of Spam sent in private to various members. We’ve been working to halt these messages and I’m crossing my toes I’ve altered the settings enough to slow them down. I’ve temporary closed registration and limited permissions to send messages until we...

Over the years TFP has prided itself on the fact that we’re advertisement free thanks to our supporters. As we expand into other venues like YouTube I personally feel it’s vital for us to continue to keep advertisements off our content. Unfortunately that’s easier said than done. As I was...

47,093 27,310 243,081 1 This last year has been a year on TFP has been one I never would have expected, and the numbers above boggle my mind. While they likely mean nothing to you without knowing the entire context, when I look at them my eyes still to this date do a double take. Had you of...

So does this work….does it?

If all goes well we expect to see some extended downtime tomorrow 3-4-2021 for some planned updates. We're aiming for an early start and do foresee this downtime to take more than a few minutes. I'll keep you updated after we return of any issues that may/will occur from these updates. Lee

Well Texas, that was fun wasn’t it? While there’s still some poor weather down south, things are looking up. We’ve noticed over the last few days many of yinz down south aren’t used to what we up north call “Winter.” We’ve compiled a list of some very simple tips and tricks to help you out as...

This week we’ve quietly made some changes to some of the backbone of TFP. One of these changes have been slightly altering our Recommended Levels. This winter a discussion between a few TFP Experts and Moderators occurred with the goal of making pool care easier and more efficient for our users...

Over the last few days it's became very clear this year is going to be a challenge to find Liquid Chlorine. The coronavirus has totally altered things these days and soon it will likely be difficult for users to find a quality source of Liquid Chlorine for their pools. We at TFP however would...

An old married couple were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary with friends and family. At this party the wife stood up and started speaking of her youth and her old dating habits. She spoke of guy after guy who she'd bring home to meet her parents. Never did her father approve of her...

One year ago today TFP introduced our new software to the public. This was following several months of work and efforts from outside help and from our members. One of the main objectives of this update was to make it where we can start to expand the articles and content we display to the...

And it’s soooooo easy to do. ? Very soon we’ll be doing some visual updates to the site, and I need photos. The higher quality the better. If you can, can you please post your favorite photo of your pool here? If they’re too large to upload you can also email me at...

After the migration to XenForo one article in Pool School that was Axed was the visual encyclopedia. This was done as the photos were VERY dated and showing their age. Now that things are settling down some I’d like to revamp this page......but I need your help. If you have any photos you feel...

One feature that was greatly missing after the migration was the “Quote this post to PM.” Well it’s back! Click the start conversation button and off you go. On mobile devices it’s kinda hidden under “more options” next to the report post icon. Click on this item and it’ll copy the thread...

This year has clearly seen TFP getting a rather large "nose job" in terms of our appearance.......and we wish to continue this outward improvement in a very small way. Many years ago we had some business cards madeup for our users to print which some of you may remember. Well, we wanted to...

Testing about DE article.................

I posted that just over 3 years ago, and today we hit this goal. Today TFP welcomes our 200,000 member. It’s amazing just how awesome this site has become. I thank each of you for all that you’ve done to make TFP what it is today!!

Well you read that right, we need your help, again. One thing Rebecca and I kept asking ourselves over the years was “what’s next?” Where does TFP go from here? The answer that kept entering our heads was almost always the same, YouTube. So it’s time we make that happen. Last night we launched...

Just like last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, I opened our pool to a nasty mess....... Where we are our fill water is VERY high in iron so we used to opt to truck in fresh water each year. This means refilling the pool from over the winter almost always costs us...

Now that it appears like TFP has the bulk of the migration behind us I’ve slowly been turning towards some additional upgrades I’ve been wanting to do. As I was flipping through some options the new software has I came across some features for websites to use to generate funds. There’s options...

Raise your hand if you've ever been writing a long post only to have the little one in the other room have to go potty. :sneaky: Raise your hand if upon returning to the computer you've found your middle child has kicked you off the computer and is now watching YouTube. :mad: You now have...
