Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
The test site is available to you. Why not play there rather than in live?

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
The upgrade to the latest versions of phpBB and the database have now been completed.
The Port Forum colour scheme will be applied as and when it is ready, which will hopefully be sometime this weekend.
If you notice anything weird happening with the functionality or the data on the site please report it here.

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
Has the forum always been on Utc+1 and I've just never noticed?

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
Unless others outside the UK can confirm otherwise it might be that the upgrade has caused all accounts to default to the same time zone. This can be changed by each user through the user control panel which is accessed from the drop-down next to your username in the top left of the menu bar.

I have added our logo to the header to make us feel at home whilst we await the updated style to be applied

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
Style updated. There will surely be faults and imperfections — please report here.
Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
Is there any way to have the regular html links for "new posts", "unread posts" etc permanently on show on the front page, rather than having to click on the "Quick links" menu? Thx.jdaw1 wrote:Style updated. There will surely be faults and imperfections — please report here.

And if it isn’t, it’s a feature of new phpbb rather than of the style.

Nice! Very clean and I like it.*jdaw1 wrote:Style updated. There will surely be faults and imperfections — please report here.
Two observations:
- Many titles on the board turn bright green when you hover over them. Is this an intentional colour choice? If so, I am not sure it is the correct choise as it does not fit with the rest of the colour palate.
- There is a lot of empty space between the logo and the words in the header. Perhaps centre the logo vertically and move the words to the left to close the gap?

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
No, not that. Previously, just below the line that says Board Index > Miscellany Corner, there used to be another line with a set of links. These links are now accessed by clicking on the Quick Links icon, necessitating an extra click.jdaw1 wrote:There is a little icon for the latest post: is that it?flash_uk wrote:Is there any way to have the regular html links for "new posts", "unread posts" etc permanently on show on the front page, rather than having to click on the "Quick links" menu?

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
I had to choose something, and chose that. Now I see it I think I agree with you. What should happen instead? No change in text, background to pale pink?

Now you have drawn that officially and formally to my attention I can no longer pretend not to have seen it. Will be investigated.DRT wrote:There is a lot of empty space between the logo and the words in the header. Perhaps centre the logo vertically and move the words to the left to close the gap?

Have you found the notifications pop-up menu?
Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
I think it would be advisable not to tinker with the standard menus and features of pphBB. Doing so has put us in difficulty in the past and means that things become not-backward-compatible when the next release (or even sub-release) of the forum software comes out.jdaw1 wrote:Not my fault.

I watched similar things happen n a much larger Astro forum recently and within a few days everyone became used to where things are and forgot about the old layout. That, I would suggest, is better than tinkering and breaking things.

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
Pink background is better.

I have just noticed that the new site renders very nicely on an iPhone. So much so that I don't feel the need to battle with TapaTalk.

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
How does one change the color scheme? I can't seem to find out where to do so.
