Forum Upgrades

[Devilfish]

Hi folks

Apologies for the downtime recently. My hand has been forced and I've had to get a new server and upgrade the forum software. One consequence is we have lost the Downloads section. This was an addon for the old software which is not supported in the new version. If you feel there was something in there that is still relevant today, create a post in the appropriate section and re-upload it. Or let me know and I'll try find it in the old folder.

Issues I've noticed so far....

Profile avatars not showing. I've been working on this today and can't figure it out. Hopefully get this sorted soon.
There's an extra "/home/forum" in all the urls. I'm also trying to remove this as it looks messy and might break the indexed pages we already have in Google.

If you find anything, post here please. Thanks.

There's plenty styles to choose from. This dark style I've made default because I think it's closest to old one.

There's a Shoutbox on the main page, just like before. Again, if you see any issues, let me know. It's not a straightforward plugin to configure.

All of the addons we used previously are not compatible with this latest version, i.e. post thank you, extended reputation. There might be new versions available, I haven't had time to check. But for longevity, keep it default is the easiest way at the moment.

Cheers
Glen

Why don't you put the old plugin files into deepseek or chatgpt to upgrade them to this new version

As I can see Deleting messages from Sent and Trash items not working....messages still there even if you deleted with all confirmations....

There will be errors and mistakes.....but it looks nice....uploading files and messaging is more simplier and better.

Slower working on mozzila then edge for now....

Our eyes need time to get used to it....

All best in the New Year.....

Thanks for the feedback Edber. There's a white style you can choose from if that suits the eye better.

Hello, is the Tapatalk plugin not compatible with this version, or is there another mobile app I can use?

Hello, site navigation looks wrong. On the first site I have an option to go to previous page, on the last page I have an option to go to next page, and both don't work. I would also like to see a site navigation (1, 2, 3, ..., last) on top of the site and not only on the bottom.

The Tapatalk plugin is not compatible with this version of software. It has its own built in mobile web app which you can use on any browser.
