I just purchased a renewal to upgrade the forum's software to version 7.6.0 which was released (finally) recently.

Since the weekend is coming up, I think that would be the best time for me to try and upgrade us - barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Here's a few of the new features we can look forward to -

• Every forum page will be updated to be Mobile Friendly
• SEO Friendly URLs
• Drag-drop Attachment Manager
• Proper Timezones and automatic Daylight Saving Time adjustments
• New Login pages
• Updated Voting / Polls
• Image preview in the Attachment Manger
• Updated User Settings and Preferences pages
• Who's Online -- Major updates. reduce each item to a single row
• Profile Page, with social networking support
• UBB Gallery pages have been rewritten

When I have a time-frame worked out, I'll announce here and in the shoutbox. I'll have to close the board for an undetermined period of time to work on the upgrade. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Sounds awesome! Thanks, Gary!

So, does that mean every link to the board is going to break?

No. I think it's a setting that I'd have to set and I don't really care about that sort of thing.

Previewing attachments is especially welcome.

Thanks Nighty!

If all goes well, I'm going to attempt the update this evening. Around 7 or 8 pm Pacific, which is about 3am-4am GMT or 10pm-11pm Central.

I'll announce in the shoutbox before we go under the knife.

Fingers crossed! Thanks for the heads up, Nighty.

^^What Ibby said.

Still a lot of work to do, but getting tired, so I'll work on it tomorrow.

Thanks for all your hard work, Nighty.

Is there a way to adjust the UI so it is not so wide on PC monitors?

[smooch]

Nothing looks the way it's supposed to yet. So, please be patient.

"Nothing looks the way it's supposed to yet."

Yeah, the update that makes all my posts readable and coherent isn't in yet.

Thanks, Nighty! What an endeavor!


Errrr... I can't find the bar anywhere.

Has the "Mark All Read" link stopped working for anybody else? It only takes me to a blank white page.

It's a known error - Mark All Read

I'll fix this when I have a chance at home. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Gary, you run this on your own and your own dime. Don't apologize to us, man. We appreciate everything you do.

What rick said!

Thirded like a Carggian.

Did I fix the Mark All Read error? I looks fixed to me.

Also, my recent upgrade seems to have angered the hosting gods, so to make them happy I'm upgrading my account (more money per month ), but hopefully they won't pull the plug.

This means I can't make any more changes until after we migrate to a new server tonight. And during this process some of the site may be inaccessible.

Just one of the foes Nighty faces on our behalf...



Mark all seemed to work for me...

EDIT: I just got attachment manager working for this one. I've not tried it often, but that's the first time it's worked for me. Yay for upgrades*!


*unless it *was* working all along and it was just me being thick. Then *I'd* need an upgrade so then Boo for upgrades!

Mark All Read worked for me.
Thanks Nightcrawler!

Thank you for the attachment upgrades, it looks good.
