Forum Upgrade

[GrandOldTeam]

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.

This is a great point. Thanks.

Weirdly it shows on desktop.

Ask him about the solution aswell.

Probably down to the size of the screen, maybe the update overwrote some settings or code for this.

Google says this but it obviously might not apply due to that being from a few years ago (and also no idea what exactly you're using obvs).

Thanks mate.

I recall it took me a while to work out years ago.

Think I've managed it. For my own future ref/search - this in extra.css

/* MOBILE PAGENAV TOP */
.block-outer:not(.block-outer--after) .pageNavWrapper:not(.pageNavWrapper--forceShow)
{
   display: initial;
}

There's a few immediate improvements.

You can now use Passkeys on here to make logging in easier.

And @Number_25 will be pleased to know all images are being optimised to .webp as standard.

Something looks different, but I can’t put my finger on what it is.

All I know is the change is making me feel uneasy.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Has there always been an angry reaction?

Yeah

Came onto the forum, sat here in my dimly lit bunker and now my retinas are scarred from day mode. Sake Danny lad!

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Yeah

Thanks. And a wow one?

Convinced one has snook in there.

Is snook a word?

ffs. Heads battered.
