roddy Posted May 17, 2012 at 04:38 PM Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 at 04:38 PM Hi folks, Been upgrading to the latest version of forums software this afternoon, took a bit longer than planned. There are still a number of issues (search is one) but I've turned us back on for now. If it gets too annoying I'll close it down again till it's properly fixed. Apologies for the distress.

roddy Posted May 17, 2012 at 05:28 PM Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 at 05:28 PM Ok, I think everything should be as it was. If you spot any problems (or, ahem, want to remind me of any old ones) let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted May 18, 2012 at 02:33 PM Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 at 02:33 PM Under the mobile skin, new thread links are going to the first page rather than the last page like it used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted May 21, 2012 at 11:00 AM Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 at 11:00 AM Sorry, thought I'd replied to this. This is working fine for me - are you using an old bookmark to get to the new content page directly? That might be the problem. Could you try getting to the home page and then clicking through to new content? If it's not working, can you paste me the actual URL of your new content page?

icebear Posted May 21, 2012 at 01:56 PM Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 at 01:56 PM If you spot any problems (or, ahem, want to remind me of any old ones) let me know. This forum is too enjoyable and detracts from study time. Ok, I'll pipe down now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gato Posted May 21, 2012 at 02:05 PM Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 at 02:05 PM Indeed it was because of an old bookmark. Too smart, Roddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted May 21, 2012 at 03:26 PM Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 at 03:26 PM To be honest, they really should be making it so that old bookmarks work, or at least tell you that they're not working. I think last update I hacked it to work. Anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted May 21, 2012 at 03:45 PM Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 at 03:45 PM Anyone else? No reply button that automatically quotes the text and puts in a reference to the post in which the quote appears. [you asked....] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edelweis Posted May 21, 2012 at 04:31 PM Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 at 04:31 PM for some reason when I'm using Windows/IE the window title and tab title become #number instead of the title of the thread. It doesn't seem to happen with Linux/Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted May 21, 2012 at 06:38 PM Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 at 06:38 PM I thank Jbradfor for his kind offer to spend the rest of his life editing posts and explaining rules when, every single day, some new registrant quotes seven acres of text and says at the bottom "Yes, I agree." Edelweis, what version of IE are you on? Because hopefully I can blame that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edelweis Posted May 22, 2012 at 10:28 AM Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 at 10:28 AM It's IE7, the issue appears when I click on the front page to go to the latest unread post in a thread. The title is actually #comment-NNNNN. Not a big deal actually, but I don't recall ever having this issue before the last forum upgrade.

roddy Posted May 23, 2012 at 11:31 AM Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 at 11:31 AM I shall pop round later and upgrade you to IE8. To be honest I'm not sure what the problem is, but my suspicion is an IE bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted May 24, 2012 at 09:09 PM Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 at 09:09 PM I've noticed there are now "warning points" next to my name in blog comments? [And shockingly mine is currently "0".] Want to tell us about this new feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted May 24, 2012 at 09:20 PM Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 at 09:20 PM Oh, is that there? I should edit that out I guess. It's an old feature, I've already hidden it from view on forum posts, they must have added it in there. Is it just next to your name, or everyone's?

Lu Posted May 25, 2012 at 02:12 PM Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 at 02:12 PM I hadn't gotten around to complaining that the quote button wasn't working for me (you know, the one that gives you [ quote ] and [ / quote ] in one click) and now it's already working again. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted November 21, 2012 at 02:55 PM Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 at 02:55 PM Going to need to upgrade the site (minor upgrade, shouldn't be little if anything in the way of noticeable changes) at some point today / tomorrow. Should be fairly smooth but could be some downtime. Roddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
