Upgrade of Forum Software
Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
Hopefully Derek's support request will bring a fix. You can though click on "The Port Forum" hyperlink in the breadcrumbs line to get back to the top.
I've also just noticed that the logo doesn't even appear on the iPhone Safari browser, but does appear on the iPad.
Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
You don't have to do that. Immediately to the right of the new New Posts link is a link to the TPF home page

I think Phil is correct. During a session New Posts will continue to list posts you have read during that session whereas Unread Posts only lists those you have not yet visited.
I have changed the link to be Unread Posts.

Good point, I had overlooked that nuance. I now like Unread Posts better.

How do I go back the blue color? Not a fan of the red.
Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
In the top right of the screen you should see a drop-down attached to your usename. Select User Control Panel >> Board Preferences >> My board style and select "prosilver" from the drop-down list.

(I’m failing to faff satisfactorily with the new theme. Service might be interrupted.)
Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
You don't need to interrupt service to do what you are doing. Leave everyone on prosilver while you faff around with the new style. When you want to see what the new style looks like or test that it is working use the preview option on the right hand side of the screen on ACP >> Customise

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
The nested quotations persist in being wrong. Am aware. Am trying to fix.
Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
Fixed indeed. Well done JDAW.
I have not spotted any other glaring errors or omissions in the style. Should we make it the default?

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
This latest upgrade seems to have mitigated a certain slowness that crept in after the previous upgrade. The forums are still not as fast as they were prior to the previous upgrade, but they're now back to being solidly within the "tolerable" range.

Some of our usages of the quote tag have been broken by phpbb version 3.2.
I couldn’t get through the bug-reporting mechanism, so have posted on phpbb.com.

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
From that discussion it seems that it previously worked by mistake (or at least unwittingly) and the new style of auto linkages means that the loophole has been closed.
You would have more luck persuading the IVDP to allow bulk shipment of Port in Pipes than you will trying to persuade the admin team on that site to change how their software behaves. Their default position is you that you are wrong - and a bit stupid for bothering to ask for help.

I think our habit of modifying the attribute of quote="...", and the inclusion of links or other elements within that attribute, has been terminated.
I tried a few options to see if there were a simple search/replace on the old post text which might have been possible (grep/awk) to fool the display, but nothing works well without significant parsing being required.
Simple search/replace option:
[url=http://www.theportforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=98381#p98381]Here[/url] jdaw1 wrote:I have explored, and am unable to get any Malayalam script to render using my software. This is being filed under ‘known bugs about which nothing will ever be done’.[url=http://www.theportforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=98347#p98347]Here[/url] Chris Doty wrote:I had been thinking, given my recent adventures on the subcontinent, that we would be using some form of local script (e.g., http://www.omniglot.com/writing/malayalam.htm)
feel free to explore and revert
The original is probably clearer; though might also only work where the included link is at the start of the quote="..." field rather than part-way through; but at least the intention is still relatively easily discernible in the old posts, whereas the (simply) mangled form while notionally clearer initially, is less so when reading it.wrote:Here jdaw1"]I have explored, and am unable to get any Malayalam script to render using my software. This is being filed under ‘known bugs about which nothing will ever be done’.wrote:Here Chris Doty"]I had been thinking, given my recent adventures on the subcontinent, that we would be using some form of local script (e.g., http://www.omniglot.com/writing/malayalam.htm)
feel free to explore and revert
More complex parsing option:
Trying another option:Here jdaw1 wrote:Here jdaw1I have explored, and am unable to get any Malayalam script to render using my software. This is being filed under ‘known bugs about which nothing will ever be done’.Here Chris Doty wrote:Here Chris Doty

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
Is there a reason we have the TPF logo showing three times in the top left corner of the screen? I can't imagine this is related to the software upgrade, but I don't recall having seen in triplicate before.
Or have I just had too much port?
