Deb Posted 4, July 2017 Report Share Posted 4, July 2017 We are in the process of upgrading the forum to the latest IPB software. This will ensure we are up to date and make new forum features available to members. For this upgrade to occur, the forum will be down for a few hours (up to a day at the most). This downtime is most likely to occur tomorrow, Wednesday 5 July 2017. Please bear with us as we work to get the forum back online as quickly as possible and keep an eye on the forum Facebook page for updates. Thank you for your patience.

DanielG Posted 7, July 2017 Report Share Posted 7, July 2017 (edited) This is not the final skin. The forum upgrade needed to be completed first before the custom skin can be applied (which should happen in the next day most likely) There is a button to read latest posts. Top right corner - 'Unread Content' Edited 7, July 2017 by DanielG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treza360 Posted 7, July 2017 Report Share Posted 7, July 2017 Top work oh glorious leaders. Always good to see the forum getting tlc. Losing count of the amount of times I've opened tapatalk and gone to check the forum today. It's like an ingrained habit when checking my phone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOOOK Posted 7, July 2017 Report Share Posted 7, July 2017 Were the belts done during the upgrade? I'm not interested if the belts haven't been done. (Yes, I've had some wine. It's a lovely Pinot Noir rose from Scarborough. Surprisingly dark but not sweet. It does have a bit of a sulphur zing but that gives it a nice minerality on the palate.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Posted 9, July 2017 Author Report Share Posted 9, July 2017 There's some issues with Tapatalk and we've submitted a ticket with them to try and get it resolved quickly.

Gambit Posted 9, July 2017 Report Share Posted 9, July 2017 Also notice that the post submit button is playing funny buggers, if you have a look in the other classifieds area for example. I have noticed it on a few occasions where you hit submit, nothing happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63x1092 Posted 10, July 2017 Report Share Posted 10, July 2017 The unread button is playing funny buggers. I'm thinking the site is really slow with the upgrade when you tap the unread button and its from hours ago, so just now I went to home and the latest stuff is from minutes ago.

mmh Posted 10, July 2017 Report Share Posted 10, July 2017 firstly thanks for all the hard work of the admin group running this site, it's been invaluable for us.

PaulD Posted 10, July 2017 Report Share Posted 10, July 2017 Thanks all for your patience with the upgrades. We were running software which was seriously out of date, and we couldnt keep dragging the site along without a big shake-up. Please keep the feedback coming... I know there are some odd font colours and the banner isnt working properly. We hope to get all this fixed shortly, including of course the Tapatalk plugin.

cloudy Posted 10, July 2017 Report Share Posted 10, July 2017 The recent activity / unread posts is a fickle beast, so few things show up on the timeline (for example I've seen none of the recent posts in this thread show up). Going by it there's been 6 posts today forum-wide, but dig through the forum and there is way more than that. Odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG5WRC Posted 10, July 2017 Report Share Posted 10, July 2017 Is there a theme option that puts a White background and Black text back on? 1) easier to read 2) looks more professional when browsing at work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the hard work in the background, to all admin I would echo the visual feedback though - I'm not finding it easy to read and I'm kinda reluctant to open it at work as it is very much non-work friendly.

For the time being anyway, if you go down to 'Theme' at the very bottom of the page and choose 'Default' instead of Deflection, it will go back to a simpler light coloured theme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're aware of the double posting and some of the formatting issues with legacy posts (i.e. the OP here) but I believe we've identified the issue with the this (formatting) and a few other bugs like the unread content being a bit odd.

White text on black , or alternatively white background and go nuts on colour for text. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaughan Posted 12, July 2017 Report Share Posted 12, July 2017 First of all, well done on the forum upgrade. My comments: I'm not a fan of the dark background. My main interface to the old forums (and most forums tbh) is the "recent posts" search. On the new forums this is broken, and when clicking on the new topics are displayed, the click goes to the very first topic in the thread. I'd expect to go the first unread post in the thread (or as a cheat, the last post in the thread). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
