New forum software

[Rammy Blue]

Yeah, it's a bit frustrating the way the alerts work on the new software. I think there may be an add-on to "fix" it though. Leave it with me.

Is that the issue I was mentioning the other week? It’s weird, never quite worked out what goes on with it now.

You need to clear your cache/delete your cookies mate.

A minor but annoying thing, when page numbers in threads are three figures the 'next' drops to the line below, I keep hitting the last page number rather than next.

Also dark mode doesn't have the Politics sub forum on it.

As you can probably see, the forum software has now been updated to the latest version, as discussed elsewhere.

It was a pretty significant upgrade which required a lot of work, hence the downtime all morning. Sorry about that, but it was a necessity.

I've tried to keep things as similar as possible to the old site so it shouldn't take too much getting used to, but inevitably some things will be different.

Some functionality that was there previously may have gone as none of the old add-ons were compatible with the new software, but just let me know if you have any feedback/requests and I'll see what I can do. There will almost certainly be a few bugs and teething problems along the way, so please bear with us whilst we sort them out.

The search index is currently being rebuilt, but should be back up shortly.

Anyway, hope you like it. It was something that had to be done as the old software will become obsolete in time so it helps protect the future of the forum and hopefully will improve performance. Any questions just give me a shout. Cheers.

I have noticed that sometimes when I post, the draft remains in the reply box, even tho' it has uploaded to the thread. Danger of double posting.

You have a problem with the Chrome browser on an android phone. Press the delete key and the keyboard vanishes. You have to select the spot in the text box to continue entering text and press the delete key and it vanishes again.

When you say the delete key, I'm assuming you mean the key immediately to the right of the 'm' key. What keyboard are you using? I'm using the SwiftKey keyboard and have no problem on my S10 phone.

Yeah, that's a known issue with the latest Chrome update on Android, as discussed here:

Keyboard issue on Android

The new site looks great and has been working fine for me, but I'm having an issue when typing out posts. If I need to delete anything when I press the button on my phone the whole keyboard disappears and I have to keep tapping it to make it re-appear and repeat the process for every character I...

More likely that posts have been removed, but replies quoting it have been missed.
