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.

If you notice the page go a bit crazy, it'll be because I'm meddling/updating behind the scenes

Pretty big downgrade on mobile. I liked being able to jump ahead or behind a few pages on really busy threads like the summer transfer thread and I can’t do that anymore.

EDIT: Ah never mind, I can type the page number in the box that says what page I’m on. Scratch all this.

The + and - is pretty swift as well, if you cba typing.

What is it you don't like?

It's the same software you see.

It's the same software you see.

Just not as easy to navigate and tbh tboughr the last one was great.

One of the main reasons a joined because it looked “spacious” looks abit clutterd now

Hmmm, difficult to distinguish quotes from replies but suppose will get used to it.

Love it, but this is the only negative imo, posts in black text and replies in blue would look the best imo.

did you just update the site layout again (like integrating your format changes)? the new layout looks nicer than it did 2 hours ago

It looks "older". Functionality, and speed, is sound. But the look is'nt. imo.

Where is that page number box mate ?

It’s the box that says “3 of 4” or “726 of 785” or whatever. In between the Prev and Next buttons.

It looks fine but it would help if you put the page numbers next to the title otherwise you end up on page 1 every single time

I'm using a system to review how the forum used to look.

This is how it was;



This is how it is now



Not sure how it now looked cluttered/old?

Still working on it, like forum icons etc, but is there really much difference?

On the list to do mate.

Yeah, ongoing changes pal.

When it come back, it had a default/forced style. I'm implementing the new style (which should be the same as the last, really...)
