Forums will be upgraded today

[Bram Hengeveld]

There will be some expected downtime on the forums today as we are going to upgrade the software to the most recent and stable version.

Shouldn't take long but in case we never comeback online: was nice knowing you all.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Thingies that need to be fixed after the upgrade:
- Breadcrumbs
- Last post info
- Post reply button (needs some restyling)
- Forum category styling
- User details (and login) in the top bar
- Navigation bar links
- User markup/ribbons premium members and staff
- Maincontent white background

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

If you guys spot anymore bugs than listed above please let me know.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

don't know if it a bug but the stickies are active but not showing
twitter logo +name
Are we able to get to see who is on t/speak without having to log in to t/speak, I used to like that feature..

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

That latter is not possible as long as RDLMS and STC are running that insist on having 402830131 different rooms running for all the teams unless there is a way to show ts channels in collapsed state

Twitter and name I have included already in the top post and will bring them back asap but need to rework A LOT of templates

Gonna be a long day

 

[Rupe Wilson]

Suddenly the forum is working allot quicker, navigating around and when i fist cone to the site.

refresh is quick

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I need a break, getting square eyes. With exception of the general post buttons and tabs all should be more or less as it was.

One small bug is in the top bar where the private messages are shown as the red alert balloons won't show up for now but ill try to fix that later on.

 

[Leon Charmant]

Taking a break? Totally unacceptable. I'll speak to your boss about this

 

[Graham Laing]

The locked status of threads not showing (nor stickies).

Though there might not be many around at the moment, maybe I can't see any as they expire anyway. It makes me wonder whether the blue Redirect symbol is working or not when merging/moving threads. So that will be worth testing with a dummy thread.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

I got Stickies... using chrome
yep the padlock is back also

 

[Graham Laing]

Yup OK ..... stickies and locked status is now showing for me ... Firefox, Chrome, IE (Spit!)

That's twice I have used Internet Explorer this year ...... that's 2 too many

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I think its done now. Only need a confirmation that the red text balloons for conversations and alerts are working for all user groups.

This was quite a bit of work as i have tried to group all template changes (that sometimes need reverting after an upgrade) into one file now.

We expect one more maintenance update for the software in the coming 3 to 4 months after which version v1.2 will be released with new forum features and other cool stuff. Really looking forward to that but for now we up to date again and more stable as quite some bugs have been addressed by the forum software developers.

 

[Graham Laing]

The red balloons for both PM's and alerts are working for me OK ....


This does make me wonder where the other 97 red balloons have gone?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Hmm noticed one little bug. When being in a "conversation" the top bar with messages is messed up.

 

[Graham Laing]

Hehe ..... you have confused me tonight.

1/ I told a guy to actually upload his mod, as there was no link.

2/ Then he said the link is under version history tab in the thread

3/ I said it's actually a design change and now it's in the Overview tab of the thread

4/ I thought, oh dear there are going to be lots of 'Where's the link?'; posts

5/ I create a new thread explaining with a picture where everything is now

6/ I go to the mod thread, and now a new green download button has appeared in the discussion tab!

7/ It clicks that Bram is still playing webmaster ..... so I move my explanation thread to the archive

8/ Sod this! ...... I am off to bed!

I'm getting really bad problems in Opera 12.15; did a side by side comparison screenshot.

That's Chrome on the left, Opera on the right. It seems like the basic structure of the site is gone somehow.
