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.

I'm encountering an issue where the site continually flags that I'm using an adblocker across all of my devices, even after disabling adblocking features.

Here's what I've tried so far:

1. Disabled adblockers at the browser level entirely.
2. Whitelisted the site in all relevant browser extensions.
3. Changed my DNS settings to ensure the site is fully accessible and no DNS-level filtering is occurring.

Despite these actions, the site still detects an adblocker. I'm wondering if there might be other factors at play, such as:

1. Local caching or cookies triggering the detection.
2. Any script-blocking features within the browser (e.g., privacy features like tracking prevention).
3. The possibility of misidentification by your detection system due to network configurations (such as VPNs or firewalls).

Could you provide any insights or logs that might shed light on what’s causing the persistent adblock detection? Any technical details would be helpful for troubleshooting on my end.

Thanks in advance for your assistance @GrandOldTeam
