Forum Upgraded

[Wildfisher]

I've just upgraded the forum software to a new version which should be better in many ways. It has gone surprisingly smoothly so far but please be patient as there will be issues and new things to get used to

The old method of placing attachments in-line does not work so expect to see [attachimg=n] turn up in many old posts.

There is a new and better way of doing this and the usability on phones is vastly improved.

There are still things needing set-up and fine tuning and new member registration is currently disabled until the final set-up is done.

In the meantime just use the forum as normal and post here with any issues you encounter. If you want to help then the best thing you can do is post and participate.

Any more than three smileys will be deleted

That was a hell of job to fix. Trying to work out what was actually wrong, there are a lot of possible causes. Upgrades can cause legacy issues, fresh installs are far easier. Turned out to be a database issue.

Nice work gents.

still a bit to do, sort out registration and anti-spam issues will be the next thing.

Basically it's very similar to the old software but better for mobile devices, adding images etc

Nice work Fred. I have just submitted a report, might have posted it in the wrong section - feel free to move it if I have.
