Major forum upgrade

Xyzzy · 2008-10-22, 21:57

We've just experienced a major forum upgrade.

If you see things that look weird please post about them here. They probably are not caused by the new forum software, but we'll check, just to make you feel better.

We have only turned on a portion of the new features that are available. If some of these new features are ones that you need, please let us know.

If you find something new or exciting or useful please let us know.

Snake1: It is only 70°F here, so don't expect an immediate reply.

IIRC, the "Previous Thread | Next Thread" links used to be between the last post and Quick Reply. Now they're below Quick Reply, so always require an extra Page Down to reach. Can this be adjusted?

I miss the "Mark Forums Read" from the New Posts window.

Me too, but it's under Quick Links as well, so it's not too big of a deal.

What New Posts window? I've only ever seen it under Quick Links (not that I use it much, anyway, since I generally try to keep up with the whole forum).

Ah, I see what you mean. (By "window", I assumed Rogue meant some kind of pop-up of sorts.)

Dear chefe,

can you please revert the unfortunate change in the forum software that, though I'm logged in, asks me my password again once I try to delete a message?

Thank you very much. H.

That is a new special security feature.

Inline moderation actions will require a user to authenticate again prior to being performed. The timeout is based on the admin control panel timeout, or one hour if that option is disabled.

We just found something new. Look for an attached image thumbnail. Click it.
