Nick Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Morning guys,Thanks a lot for the feedback I'll start working on them now! Together we can make this great.I know the old saying of "why fix it if it isn't broken" but if we don't move forwards, we will have security issues. There are some improved and new features too which just makes it better to use. Change is never easy, I'm still trying to work around it too, you should see how different the Admin panel is, lol.I'll keep you all updated on what changes I make today! Keep the suggestions coming.Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyknight Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 It appears as though every post that I did in the old forum which included pictures from 'my gallery' now does not have any pictures and just leaves the picture reference behind! Do I have to go back and re-edit all my build posts to change the pictures to 'attachments'?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shdaxner Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I think the new update looks much better....cleaner and prettier by far. No problems to report thus far other than ones already stated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Quick update, I'm a little slow trying to find my way around.I made the white post background a light grey, so it's not as bright, is this better for everyone?I've installed Tapatalk, this should now work, please could someone confirm as I don't have a phone (one of they joys being in Kenya is getting robbed ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 It looks to me that every other thread is shaded, regardless of whether I've read it or not.Only been on it for two minutes, first thing I've noticed is the difference between read and unread topics, the shading isn't vivid enough. Can you guys elaborate or screenshot where? I can't see it, maybe because the shade isn't obvious at all to me, lol.After clicking 'submit reply' it takes about 30 seconds to save.Server is under a lot of strain, still caching all the content which will take most of this week! The forum database is very large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 any chance there is an answer to my query re: gallery image references in old posts?Can you give me a link to where this can be seen? I will try to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I would like to see a little more colour to the forum, help break things up a bit, I use iPad so not sure if it's same for everyone but feels like a rented property with wall to wall magnolia.....needs a little more spice.just my thoughts.

Nick Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, so the server is under a lot of load, this is from rebuilding the data on the forum which will take a LONG TIME - possibly a week or more. Until this is done, the forum will run slow and possibly have continued downtime.I can only apologize for the inconvenience, our server could do with an update but it's expensive, I'm hoping once the data is rebuilt it is all back to normal.

Madmini Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hey Nick , just oust out of interest how much is the hosting costing presently and how much would an upgrade be?if we as a group can get someone a new car I'm sure we can all chip in to some better tin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I'll try to screenshot it later, working at the mo. Click a thread and it still takes you to first post, not last post you actually read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaZero Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 A little to facebookish for my liking, I'm sure we will all get used to the styling.A lot of post seem to get cut of mid sentence as if there is a maximum word count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
