Forums Upgraded

[Stephan Whelan]

We have just upgraded the forums to the latest version of the software we run (vbulletin 3.5.2 for you geeks out there).

We have a few new features in place but we may have lost some functionality whilst upgrading. If you see something out of place or if you see missing/broken things please post in this thread!

Many thanks and Happy New Year!

Mozilla Firefox user here, Ive been IE free for 2 years now and haven't felt tempted.... hehehe

Smilies don't work, as in I click on them and they dont appear in the text window when posting. Same with the "More" link to get the full smily list. I can click all I want, theres no popup window.

Software upgrades... Better you than me, Stephan!

This has been fixed - some minor templating issues that pointed to an old file. You should be able to access the Supporter options now!

Shadowkiller - i'm having trouble replicating this issue - can you let me know more detail of what version of FireFox you are using and what Message Editor interface you are using (you can find this in UserCP > Edit Options)

 

[DeepThought]

If this may be of help, I'm using FireFox 1.5 and the standart editor and those features (press on smilies+popup window) work for me.

Also - we are working on improving some of the "behind the scenes" functionality to improve our rankings on the search engines. You may see some minor changes over the next few days in things such as page titles, the URL's to forum pages (that's the http:// thing at the top of the page) and such like. This should not impact functionality.

:t :naughty

All is forgiven... Smilies work now.

BUT. They definitely didnt before... weird...

All good, keep up the good work boss.

I don't know is it just me, but automatic login doesn't work anymore. Even if I select the "remember me" option, I always have to login again.

The same thing happened on another forum that recently updated their software...Maybe it's a common bug?

 

[jome]

Hmm, worked now (just tried it), but somehow it's become stricter or something...Maybe it doesn't allow several computers "logged in" at once and the cookie (just assuming) expires at home when I login at work or something...

Errr - we've always had a Search Box Oldsarge

Whew! I thought I was losing it.

Jome,

We have changed some of the backend settings to do with the cookie's so that may be affecting some people slightly but it should resolve itself once you log in.

:duh This happens all the time. All anyone has to do to hid things from me is put them out on the table in plain sight. And I can trip on linoleum, too!

You must be kidding rofl
No matter what water-related stuff I enter in google the first search result is in 99% deeperblue
This can even be annoying when I search somethng that I don't want to find on deeperblue

BTW www.deeperblue.net's PageRank is 5
Thats quite good if you ask me!

I wish my websites had such a nice pagerank



But still.... Thumbs up!
