    Update to Forum Software.

    Hi guys, just to let you know that I have updated the Forum software overnight, and as a result, you're likely to find a few issues over the next few days. In particular, I seem to have irretrievably deleted many pictures, including avatars, smillies, and navigation icons so some of you might have to re-upload your avatar.

    Feel free to report any issues you notice in this thread and I'll try to fix most of them as soon as possible.

    Sorry I couldn't fix everything, but had to go to sleep at some point.

    Testing edit?
    Franck.

    There's an A.P.P. for that!

    Code:

    There's a couple of CSS template glitches as well floating about, a lot of the buttons are rendering blue on the default Orange template set

    Re: Update to Forum Software.

    Some things are missing from the 'quick links' (orange template) like 'my profile' and the Edit profile pic isn't working either

    Don't think much to the new profile page - bit complicated innit?

    As for adding "friends" as it looks like you can - got enough of all that malarky with Facebook!

    Just realized that when you visit someone's profile page they will be able to see you were there . . . .

    So - the new profile enables you to see who has looked at your profile..... I wonder if that makes it more or less likely that you will check out a profile?

    What will the 'Friends' facility provide? Has this facility been requested by someone?

    Unless they are invisible, then it just says 1 person has visited.

    Re: Update to Forum Software.

    Less. My profile has already had a visit - I'm not sure if I know that person but don't feel comfortable going to see who it is.

    Also, the profile page shows exactly where you are on the forum right now - this feels like an invasion of privacy. If I want to broadcast where I am & what I'm reading, I'll post. I don't mind the forum showing whether I'm online or not - it's a bit like acknowledging 'yes, I'm at home' - but I don't have glass walls on my house to show people where I am every second of the time, and I don't see why the forum should advertise it either. I realise that mods can probably see and records are kept of who's been where but I don't think it's necessary for everything to be public knowledge.

    Also, all the best smileys (hugs, kisses, love, flowers particularly) aren't working. Looking again, is it all the ones with moving bits?

    Finally, trying to get back to the main forum page or 'recent posts' page from my profile, I get stuck at an error page with a lot of 'Failed to open stream: No such file or directory' messages. In fact, I get this with just about any move so I don't even know if this will post!

    I believe so, unless you choose to be "invisible".

    Re: Update to Forum Software.

    just looked at the new profile page - nope NOT a fan!! too many clicks involved to get to anything - much prefered the old one page format

    not sure of the point of visitor messages on my profile - especially as they are public

    also not so keen on list of visitors to my profile...

    there does seem to be a space where photo albums that a user has created is displayed which I quite like the idea of - as I've never really managed to get a handle on the photo gallery

    The "visitor messages" are the same as your Facebook "Wall". Do you see any point in that?

    More things to fix...

    We've lost the list of reputation comments we've given.

    And as Northants Girly said, trying to edit or delete gives errors.

    Hiya Franck - this is just in case you hadn't noticed, but they are missing for the Silver skin. Though I'm sure you have it in hand. Good luck!

    Also - when I edit a post... when I've made the changes & pressed the save button, a little animated circle goes around & around & doesn't stop, and the changes don't appear.

    If I then press cancel , it doesn't look like the changes have been applied, but if I go back into that thread/post, they have!

    I use Apple White and there are no icons for that either.

    The forum has always had this ability, maybe now you just know to much . Kinda like cctv, ignorance is ok but if you were to find out how many times a day you were actually filmed, it would bug you
