I can’t open the thread with this recipe or the one where someone else states the same issue

Is anyone else having an issue opening the “Black Raspberry Maple Jalepeno Bacon” thread, or getting it to show as being read. It keeps popping up as unread on my topics, but I get the error message if I try to open it.

So, I don’t know how many people got the chance to join us today but we launched the new waltons.com! No more waltonsinc.com, though that will still work as we have forwarded all of the pages and products. Aside with some email password issues that Austin fixed like a straight up “g” it went fairly smooth!

This thread is where we would ask that people report issues to. For the first few days I will try to check it every few hours or so. But guys, I gotta say, I’m feeling soooo much better about this platform. We can actually fx things ourselves, when I tell it to do something it actually does it! Coupons are a breeze (and the 2nd best state post will have an update tomorrow if not tonight)

If it continues to be smooth we will start actually putting out meat processing videos again!!

Thank you all for hanging with us through the last year. It was not smooth and it was often no fun but you guys took over meatgistics and helped eachother out. I will now aggressively wrestle control back from you all with bans, deleting of post counts, abuse, shadow banning and all around acting like the diminutive dictator I have always felt like I was meant to be!

Your 50lb mixer has 40 questions, 27 of them are asking if it can hookup to other mixers. And you answered every one of them, “we don’t know, not designed for it…”

Why do you think 27 people wanting to buy your mixer HAD TO ASK THE QUESTIONS? Because your given product info and specs are terrible! Instead of repeating the unhelpful “we dont know” answer, walk over with a micrometer and some calipers, and take some measurement pics of the spline and collar hookup, and post them. It is nice someone typed a 1 sentence answer, but it would be massively better if you addressed the problem/opportunity that those questions all represent.

I’ve watched your podcasts, seen your great online presence, and I think you have a motivated team in place that can do better meeting your customer needs in this product area.

You have a golden opportunity here that comes from fortuitous design of your 50lb mixer: the outer diameter of the collar is 2-1/16in, which will slip into the larger Inner Diameter collare for LEM, Meat!, Cabelas, and Weston mixers that use a 3/4" 6-spline drive shaft… allowing YOUR mixer to be the only one of the bunch that might be almost universal. The only thing holding your sales back is you documenting this fit.

You are not protecting your potential grinder business by not giving good mixer specs and failing to test its hookup with various competing brands-- people already own those grinders or they wouldn’t ask about them. You are only failing to SELL your mixer and capture business that previously went to LEM and Cabelas-- and will go back to them again because you don’t publish good specs for your mixer! Your 50lb mixer DOES WORK with several competing grinders, I have read at least 3 threads here with customers pisting pics and successful hookups. But your sales/marketing/customer service is 100% missing the boat on capturing this market by failing to be responsive, agile, and take the time to post a few measurements and pics. You don’t have to commit that it will work or take on liability, just post the measurements and let your very smart users make their own informed decisions.

Even better, if your were really gung ho, design and sell spline/collar adaptors for LEM, Cabelas, and Weston grinders, and your smaller grinders. make your mixer universal. You would take over the market.

Couldn’t find a place to leave feedback on Walton’s, so trying here… should be same folks, and Austin should be able to fix quickly.
Ordered some additives and parts including grinder knives. Fast delivery, happy with product. However, knives were just slipped into plastic sleeve with nothing holding them in, and of course they came out during shipping and cut into the additives bag. Luckily just a wee bit of dextrose lost, no biggie. BUT THESE KNIVE WRAPS SHOULD BE TAPED CLOSED, AND THEY SHOULD BE BUNDLED IN A WRAP OF NEWSPAPER OR SOMETHING SO THEY DON’T FLOP AROUND AND CUT STUFF OPEN!
Here’s a pic showing them loose in box as delivered.

I have been trying to place an order for an hr. tells me account is locked. Am I not doing something right

Hey guys, just FYI there was an issue earlier with Meatgistics. I had NobeBB fix it but it looks like it was unreachable for a while. Also, later this week there will be a 30 minuted maintenance down-time as we are getting pretty close to fill here. Thats a good problem to have!

JohnG5 , Austin Walton , Jonathon Is anyone else getting this “Forbidden” error during the past few days when trying to post, respond, or give someone an attaboy? Recycle & it quickly goes away & you can post, until closing out & then coming back to Meatgistics again later.

Looks like it is a known issue with NodeBB

https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/9194

Can anyone tell me exactly what they were doing when they are doing this? I see calldoctoday Was posting, and responding but everything I can find that is reported says it is a pinning issue, so we may have something new here. I am contacting NodeBB to see if they have any ideas.

I no longer wish to receive e-mails, please advise

I was reviewing the Meatgistics recipe here and noted an error on the amount of Surecure #1 recommended.

https://meatgistics.waltonsinc.com/topic/846/specialty-sausage-103-making-landjaeger.

The meat block shown is too small for 1 ounce of Surecure #1 and ECA.

Like most seasonings, the normal package unit for Walton’s Landjaeger is for a 25 lb meat block

It has now been three days with no Meatgistics email. Look at my setting, both with Meatgistics and my email account. Can’t find the problem.

HELP!

FYI, search function isn’t working well right now. I have restarted and rebuilt and restarted the f***m as well as making sure all categories are included in search and that does not appear to have done anything. The last thing I can do is reindex the search but that can take a while and might take the site down. I plan on doing this when I wake up tomorrow morning to minimize slowdowns.

It seems the search function is not working properly. It looks like it is only returning results from recent post. Brat only returned 5 post, all posted within the last week. Salami only 1 post. Checked the advanced settings and even hit clear preferences.

Jonathon, and others, did anyone notice a recent change in the web site?
I see the topics tab has disappeared and the overall layout is larger and easier to read (a good thing imo).
This seems to have roughly coincided with Jonathon 's correcting the aspect of twilliams deer photo. Coincidence?

I get this error when trying to cycle through pages on the store site. I basically have to refresh before I click next or previous page if I have been on that page for more than a few seconds.

For some reason the text in some replies isn’t wrapping like it should. I notice it most when there are several replies. The first reply is moved to the right and then the next reply is moved farther to the right and finally the next reply ends up being one long line of 1 or 2 letters and any other replies are just long blank spaces. Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

This section will be used to report bugs or issues with meatgistics.com Please be detailed with the issue and if possible get a screenshot of the issue. If you hold down the windows key the Shift key and the letter S all at the same time a feature will showup on your desktop that will let you draw a box around anything you want to capture. It will then save that to your clipboard, you can then control V that into a post as long as you aren’t using the quick-reply feature. Example below of that.
