Teal Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 The forum software we are currently using needs to be updated. I have delayed this as long as possible, but it is now important for security that we carry out this update, as the old software is outdated. It will make some quite significant changes to the appearance and functions on the forum, and to be honest, several of these would not have been our preferences or choice. What will happen once we deploy the update, is that we will keep monitoring how it settles down, and where we can make changes to improve it we will certainly try our best to do so!

Cosd Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Is this where we can all start moaning about how much we preferred the old format, or do you have a direct dial number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimfire4969 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Is this where we can all start moaning about how much we preferred the old format, or do you have a direct dial number? Same happened last time, lots of moaning but within a week everyone forgot what the old one looked like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 reminds me of the Maureen Lipman advert: "We don't like change do we Norman? Think the BBS has just done an upgrade but it's gone Pete Tong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal Posted November 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 reminds me of the Maureen Lipman advert: "We don't like change do we Norman? Think the BBS has just done an upgrade but it's gone Pete Tong. Crumbs - good luck to them it fixed, I can see what you mean. A thankless task, could be here next week. Regarding details of the changes, quite hard to describe them. Functionally should be much the same, just some things have changed colour and moved around a bit.

Munzy Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Will the search fuction still find historic threads? No, just future threads. Very high tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 No, just future threads. Very high tech. 😂 I remember the last update, it was fine, took a little time to find things, no worse than going for a pee in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 No, just future threads. Very high tech. ISTR a past upgrade - or possibly an online attack or whatever wiping out or being unable to find old threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanj Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 DONT PANIC !!!!!

Newbie to this Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Will the updated forum support direct uploaded images? Crumbs - good luck to them it fixed, I can see what you mean. A thankless task, could be here next week. Regarding details of the changes, quite hard to describe them. Functionally should be much the same, just some things have changed colour and moved around a bit. Will the photo uploader, uplaod a larger image size more inline with today's cameras? I have to cut my picture size down to 25% at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbob Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 They have updated two other sites i'm on and its surprising the unrest it caused , They both look really similar now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 It always causes "unrest" when the Forum is updated, but we have little option when we know that security updates will be withdrawn from the current build. I am one of the biggest moaners, but even I get use to the new set up eventually. I moaned about this one when it first appeared and now I am going to moan when it disappears. Its probable that there will be a number of layout and "skin" options available to us that will keep this Forum looking a bit different from others and all of that work will be in the hands of Teal and he hasn't let us down yet.
