Forum Upgrade

Post by alexauxier » Wed May 03, 2017 2:08 pm

Hi All, as of 10 AM EST our forum software has received an upgrade and our spam systems should be working at 100%. I don't know about you, but so far this thing is BLAZING FAST now.

If you notice any errors please post them in this thread. We'll work to get the skin/color scheme of the website back to normal as well.

Cheers and Thank You For Your Patience!

Looks ok.


If we could get to see who posted a thread, as well as who replied last, that'd be much better.

Also, the font size is huge on Android, makes seeing all the threads quite difficult, and once in a thread, the answers presentation isn't very clear and quite space consuming. (Again, on Android)


And can we have a puking smiley? I like puking smileys.

On mobile, while trying to start a thread, it would log me out at some point while writing it up. Then hitting submit would bring me back to the login page wiping the post. Then I would have to retype and try again, then logging me out again.

Did it twice before I stopped being dumb and copied before submitting it and re-logged in and pasted it. :?

Is this this Absolution v2 thing I'm now seeing on my iPhone? It works well for me, much better than viewing the old version on my phone but one burning question: why has it gone to this blue colour scheme? That used to be what you'd see prior to logging in after which it would go back to the loved grey and Orange. Now it's just always this blue. Deliberate?

The pic links via photobucket still don't work. It's a shame pics in old threads can't be seen because of that. Can it be fixed?

Yes please, I'd selected the old fashioned orange coloured scheme with the previous upgrade. Hope that'll still be available - blue just isn't Orange to me... :wink:

I also used the older skin, which I miss now.

Personally, I like having the option for a dark color scheme. It's easier on the eyes.

Hitting the 'remember me' button when logging in should hopefully sort that.
