I notice that the national flags that used to appear below each member's name and avatar in posts are missing since the upgrade.  This is certainly not a site-breaker by any means, but it's just a minor detail I noticed.

Check out the Noro Cooperative.  What are you waiting for?  It even has electricity.

Hello jeronij,

Thanks all for your hard work.  I noticed the site was back up in the morning (for me), went down for for a few hours, and it's back up now.  Though I made posts earlier, and now they're gone.   &cry2  Did something bad happen and you had to restore to a backup?

Also, one of the times today during the past few hours, instead of the maintenance page, I got something about a "alldeny" error and a directory of a .php page.  I don't mean to scold, but security is always important.   :)  Might want to lock down stuff so ordinary users (and hackers) don't see interesting error messages.  I wish I knew more specifics on locking down php and servers to help.

[Edit]:  I'm seeing these "Sim City 4 Devotion Forums" posts in between posts in threads, with the timestamp as the previous post.

Good to see the forum being back. It seems like the BBcode for tables has changed, because all the tables are 'gone' now. Could that be solved?
I've also seen that some member labels could not be shown. <-

Hello to all,

Regarding the sudden forums shut down last night, and the posts posted since that time, which hopefully wont be too much, unfortunately was due to a bad move from the hosting support, which did overwrite all the files in the new server, instead of copying only the missing files in the LEX... this did break the forums and this morning when I noticed it I just could restore a backup that I had from last night :( On the positive side of things, we have recovered the full LEX :D ¡¡

Some of the previous existing plugins are lost after the upgrade because there are no compatible versions of them. Most of these plugins were not critical, but helpful ;) , so I wont try to make them compatible. There are some which are critical, like the tabular tables code, forums downloads and and the awards mod which I'll try to install in this version of the forums.

The old theme is not compatible with this version of the forums. I used some of the styles and graphics to create this one, but not sure if the old one will be back again nor when would it happen :(

Thanks to all for your patience and understanding. There are also many other minor tweaks to make here and there, but hopefully you wont even notice them ;) ¡¡


EDIT: Oh¡, and you can add again your flags in your profiles if you wish to do so. Unfortunately the new version of the pluggin does not use the old settings.

Hello all,
I no longer have the new forum layout, I am now back to the default Simple Machines one. It isn't really annoying, I am just wondering why. Is it only temporarily? Is it only happening to me? How can you switch it back?

Thanks,
Jack

To get your flag back if you still haven't already done so, you need to reset your country in your profile.







<< ;D


Also, I can see a phantom set of "Quote, Modify, Remove" buttons and even a time-stamp under my post as though I had posted below myself but these buttons do nothing.

In fact the european flag was not in the flags database in the former version of the forum and Jeronij added it nicely on my demand.

Think it will be the same process with the new layout even if I understand that it's not a priority.

Just to remember that all the citizens of the 25 countries of the UE are at first europeer and after german, french or whatelse  :thumbsup:

Some browsers support a feature whereby the input text box of a posting can be resized, both horizontally and vertically.  I have found that this comes in very handy when making long posts (which I am notorious for doing  :D ).  In the old forums, this feature worked both horizontally and vertically.  When the new forums first came out, this feature worked for vertical resizing, but not horizontal.  Now, in the same SMF forums, it doesn't work at all.  The fact that it changed so quickly would seem to imply that it could be changed back.  Please, could the posting areas be fixed so that they can be resized both horizontally and vertically?  Thanks!  :)

EDIT:  I notice that this feature is fully operational in both directions in the Quick Reply box.

I just wanted to update my previous post about text box resizing.  It turns out that this is connected to the WYSIWYG editing function - when that function is turned on, the text box cannot be resized, but when it's turned off, resizing is possible in the vertical direction.  It would be nice to have resizing in the horizontal direction too, but the vertical direction is by far the most important, and as I have figured out how to make this work, the remaining issue is much less important now.

Found a few more:
Latest Posts on the main page (index.php) no longer works.
Transparency doesn't work on the navigation buttons on index.php, probably due to conversion from GIF/PNG to JPG.

Am I the only person who misses the post "page list" and "go down" button at the top of the page? I'd rather have that than the "go up" at the bottom.

I can't change my avatar. Currently, "No Avatar" is selected but it won't let me unselect it.

Please, check again. Regular users should be able to select a server stored avatar :)

I had problem with the turn back button sometimes which doesn't work

If you select no countries in your profile you have a 00

No CML showing but I think it's a question of time.


Thanks for your work :)
