Upgrade

[GrandOldTeam]

Blues,

We've just upgraded the forums platform.

It's quite a software upgrade, and given I largely wing this site with a very limited tech nous - there will be some inevitable hiccups.

Please report any issues you encounter in this thread. Would appreciate not clogging this so just technical issues, not general issues like - Everton still having Ashley Williams.

The main portal / website keeps giving me a 502 Bad Gateway error, and when it was working the graphics were hit and miss.

Thanks. Nothing to do with this thread mate (forum upgrade), two separate websites. Currently working on a separate development on the front page

is there a way to go back to the old spell check, this one only gives you a few seconds then the red line disappears, as an extremely stupid individual, I struggle to operate without this particular safety net

The forum doesn't have it's own spell check - that'll be your browser. Do you have anything like grammarly installed?

I've just test now, and the red line stays permanently for me on an incorrect spelling.

Must have been something that changed with a browser update, thanks for checking though

More letters for the Custom Title would be like GOT snowflakes at Christmas.

Maybe you know this already boss, but the main page has a banner for Wordpress admin, not sure if that's what you want there or not, just saying

If I switched it back to as it was, there would be murder.

Evertonians don't like change and it's a compliment, users of GOT are very well engaged so any change is seen as significant.

Still a few bits I need to fix, but it's getting there...

Yeah I love it mate. Still a few niggles on mobile when trying to select a URL, and paste it.

Safari on iOS 11.4

Maybe I'm weird but many times when I read a thread, especially a very busy one, I tend to read them backwards. So bottom up. When doing it this way it is very convenient to have the toggle between pages at the top. Currently it's only at the bottom. The old format had both.

Me too mate.

Wasn't sure how many would miss it/whether to just prompt users to start browsing differently, but see here;

The page numbers look a little clunky when I look on mobile, so I'm undecided.
