Forum Upgrade

GrandOldTeam · September 10, 2024

Hi everyone,

Apologies for the scheduled 40 minute downtime today.

It was necessary to upgrade our core forum software.

This was a big'un with a lot of moving parts - so please use this thread to flag any probs.

In the immediate, your style choices (day vs night) will have likely changed. You can change this back in the footer link, or within your preferences;

Thanks to @mattw who helped massively by setting up a separate test site environment and being on hand to help prevent me breaking the whole thing.

Can confirm it's there in Chrome, on the same phone
Will clear cookies or something and see if anything changes.

Mad ting. I cleared cookies, logged back in, and nothing changed.
I switched back to eyesore mode and the box appeared.

Back on night mode and still no box.

@GrandOldTeam you can tell your team to stand down. I went and did a wordle and came back to find it has reappeared

Senor GOT, is there a way to make it so that every time I get the adblock notification my page doesn't shoot up to the top?

Yep, I think a few mentioned it recently, maybe after an update but it didn't seem to affect me. It's only started recently about the same time the reply boxes started looking weird/in code.

Noticed @Daytripper s avatar was animated a couple of days ago so thought I'd pay homage to our snot-brow wiping leader.

Sweet, animated avatars

GrandOldTeam · October 14, 2024

Definitely scrapping those animated avatars when I work out how.

Like Harry Potter on here ffs.

Thought I'd had too much to drink when I saw an avatar move.
