Major forum upgrade carried out.

Apologies for the 24 hour outage of the forum, but the major upgrade Chris carried out last night took hours and left us with no time to finish off the details.

We have got most of it up and running for the time being, but will be updating plugins and features over the next week or so, as and when we get time.

First job is to upload a suitable banner and cure a couple of problems on sections failing to load, hope you can all bear with us while we get things working.

Rolf

We can do that Rolf.
It's looking good :thumbsup:

Got lots of problems at the moment, individual threads are all accessible, but some sections are throwing up database errors, looks like a heavy week.

Yep. A new baby will keep you up at night :4-bounce:

All very interesting, Rolf! :) I had NO idea of my password, so took several tries to get in!
Hope things will settle soon, as I really don't want you having to stay inside swearing at a computer in this heat! ;)

Rolf swear??? :-rofl

I have found if you want to see a thread click on the other end where is says the name and it takes you there

Looks good Rolf, certainly familiar layout :)

..and many thanks to Chris for his hard work.

This was a major upgrade, changes the way the forum works completely, so unfortunately, password cookies weren't saved. Hopefully this should be the last major one for a good while.

For better of for worse lol

Always a big move to upgrade completly...

Right, have got "most" problems sorted, you all have a choice of styles, will add and subtract styles as we go along.

If you have any problems with particular styles, for example certain links or elements don't show up, then let me know here.

You can sample the different styles by using the little dropdown menu in the bottom left hand corner.


For those of you with Facebook accounts, you can connect them to this forum and link posts or blog articles to facebook.:)

Thanks, have tried the different styles and think I'll alternate between TVB Birds and TVB Birds Tone.:)

I find it all very exciting. I was on VB4 for a while but now I think the TVB is the best one for me. :)

Think the top TVB-Birds selection is the better colour tone. The forum image set is eye catching also.

I quite liked the red one (have always liked red :) , but you can't read the chat box properly, so I'm on TVB tones.

I have gone back to basics. The VB4 is the easiest to read and kindest to my eyes :)

The VB4 style will not have all of the functionality of the dedicated styles.

I see...............Oright then
