Updated forum software

[Justin_FL]

After 8 years it was time to upgrade the phpBB version. I think all the bits converted properly?

Expect things to evolve from the current state as I tweak the software. Search isn't 100% working yet (is a bit slow and is case sensitive), there are some DB optimizations to do and I wanted to get the forum live again).

Looks different but seems to work the same.

Excellent work. Thanks for your efforts. It will take a little getting used to but I'm sure there's more to it than a shiny new look.

[jodystevens]

Awesome! Job well done, it looks good:)

Way to go guys! Really appreciate the work that you put in.

But the big question is: Is there a wiki?

[wkohler]

This is going to take some getting used to. Thanks for the hard work!

Thanks Justin and thanks to all the beamters. You guys are selfless in terms of your willingness to make this site a cool place to hang out and learn interesting stuff.

It definitely is different, but I'll get over it. Thank you guys for all the work you do!

Is there still an option to see posts since last visit?

Clicking on "Board Index" give me this single line and nothing else,

//-- mod : latest topic title -------------------------------------------------- //-- add include $phpbb_root_path . 'includes/class_ltt.' . $phpEx; //-- fin mod : latest topic title ----------------------------------------------

Definitely a different look. Thanks to all involved in the update and who keep this site up and running.

Yes, "View new posts" from the board index. In the white space below the date and time at the top.

[wkohler]

Where did the option go for board style? I changed it to something more reminiscent of the old format and it reverted to this special edition new thingy and I can't change it back.

SAME!

I don't have much to live for and now my world is all upside down and backwards.

Great. Thanks very much.

Funky! I feel like I'm a parallel universe or something, avatars on the right?

Thanks for keeping us modern.

[ahab]

And smished down into the center of my 1920X1080 browser window.

This is a drag.

LOL. It is a pretty dramatic change. But we like you Chris. That should account for something.

[Crazy_Canuck]

Yay! Forum now scales to screen size

Would like the avatars/posters on the left side of the screen.

[tig]

I think it should be pink. Besides that I love it.

[demetk]

Where's the wiki option?

[ahab]

Yay! Forum now scales to screen size

How? Mine is a ribbon down the center of Firefox.

Do a refresh while holding down the shift key, at least that is what usually works on PCs.
