CitySafe Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi all. The software we use to run the forum has had a significant upgrade, which we need to install (as they are stopping support on the current version we are on).I am not sure exactly when the upgrade will go ahead as it is the company themselves installing it, however it can take up to 10 working days.I don't think it will take the forum offline while the new version is installed, but I am not 100% sure.Unfortunately with the new version, it will potentially delete some of the custom plugins on the forum. However until it is completed I am not sure what will be changed.Things like posts, members, topics etc. will all be in tact, but the physical look of the forum may change.I'll let you know once it is complete, and if you see anything which is out of place or anything which is missing then please let us know and we will be able to get it fixed.Thanks Mike at Vauxhall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitySafe Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi. As you will all notice the forum has changed somewhat as they have just upgraded (didn't take 10 working days after all). I will work on the new layout tomorrow and correct images etc., and see what new functions we now have. If anyone has any problems with their accounts (although these shouldn't have changed) then please let me know via PM.

Count Muppet Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 When I signed in it forced me to enter my address and contact info for all to see. I lied on it to see what would happen. I see it’s on your profile now. Any way of hiding it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelCityShoes Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 It looks great, definitely more modern. The only thing I didn’t like was being asked for my address as I didn’t know if it would be public, however if you put a . in the box you can continue without filling it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Can't say I like it at the moment getting very lost navigating but maybe that's a getting to know it issue. Snowman is still there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobblers Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 There are no dates or times on any posts - will this be resolved so I can see what I've already read or commented on? I'm not too keen on my address being on here, either. Rick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitySafe Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I have finally figured out how to update the system so you don't have to put your address in (the whole back office is now completely different so it's taken a big of time to figure it out). People who have uploaded any addresses etc. only you can see them and they are not shown on your public profile - please fell free to delete them if you wish. If you are having trouble logging in to your account, try signing in using your DISPLAY NAME and password. I think this is a new change to log in with display names instead of usernames. I will now figure out how to display the dates and times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike at Vauxhall Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Sad news about the snowman, apparently he went to Timpsons for a hair cut, but they accidentally cut his head off. ( Sorry all Timpson employees, couldn't resist it.) HarryHeffernan and kobblers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibsjo(SCO) Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 i dont see a problem with addresses given. if we actually behaved like grown ups and used real name avators/pictures and not rebel alliance spinning logos it might be an advance? carry on! grahamparker and lockdecoders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt@Silca Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I like the new look and features! just a shame that the site is now slower than before. (it appears to be the banners at the top slowing everything loading) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I’ve not found any difference in speed. I’m using the mobile site though. The banners are still there but don’t seem to cause any bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
