Major Software Upgrade Complete

[von Corax]

I got the gears back!

[James Harrison]

Huzzah, it's worked!  Oh I say, the look is very different now isn't it?

[von Corax]

Country flags were lost in the upgrade, but I've reinstalled the modification. Everyone will need to reset their country flag on their "Modify Profile" page.

Ranks are once again based on time online.

[Mercury Wells]

So this is our future "Witnessed as Shiny & Bright"?.

[Caledonian]

thank you all for your hard work! I'm going to take some time getting used to it being less brown on here

You're quite welcome!

Time, I think, for a celebratory shot of Bushmills 10-year-old single malt.

[Rockula]

Excellent. Well done.

[Sorontar]

Well done indeed! Well done for the technical aspects and the perseverance. I'll have a look around the back end over the weekend to see if there is anything else that might be suggested, but I suspect you know it all very well by now.

Bloody good show! I know it has been a bit of a challenge for you sir.

Sorry to add to your woes, I dabbled with the forum look in my profile, now I can't see my profile button and posts look a little off.

No bold,ittalic insert image in a reply?..........



No rush.

[von Corax]

I think that's fixed it. For now, everyone should stick with the default board theme, as the others are now broken in various ways.

[SeVeNeVeS]

Thank you! I promise not to dabble any more until the forum is a little more stable.

Great job, no, wonderful job you are doing for us all, big thumbs up! and big thanks for your efforts

[Synistor 303]

Thanks so much for doing this - much appreciated!

[Xenos]

Huzzah! Had me worried for a bit it might go down again, but I see now all's well.

None too worried about themes and colours and whatnot, for now stability is what matters.

[Madasasteamfish]

Well its nice to know everything's up and running safely.

The colour scheme does seem a little off after the familiar shades of brown and mustard, but the old girl could do with a fresh lick of paint, its not as if it's particularly garish.

[SeVeNeVeS]

just a minor question..... have we shifted location on the server (?) as well? . I don't know what I'm talking about here, there was mention of re-locating to another provider, is that right? Oh how the memory is fading rapidly these days...... fum do fiddly.......humm.....what am I doing now? ......Oh yeah.

 

[Rockula]

I've managed to work out how to change the Spam profiles to Banned User and how to ban the spammers.
I can't work out how to remove posts.

It literally only just now occurred to me that some users might have been using non-default themes, all of which are now broken. I think I've now reset everyone to the default theme.

We have not yet moved servers, as it is considered extremely reckless, even among Sparks, to change too many factors at once. Now that the upgrade is out of the way I can concentrate on the move.

The way I do it is to go back to the Profile Summary page and click "Show Posts." From there you can delete each post using the "Remove" link in the lower right of the post.

Oh, very well done for triumphing over the digital gremlins 

Yours,
Miranda.

[J. Wilhelm]

The forum is now upgraded and running. The old theme is broken, though, so I apologize for the present ugliness. I shall begin addressing that issue as soon as I have recovered my equilibrium and composure.

Congratulations! And thank you for your work. So the trick of using your own box did it eh?

Sorry I've been absent. My roommate got Covid and my job is sputtering it's last words. So o was a bit busy this week. But i was monitoring your messages via Twitter (those who are in the platform should follow the account)

Do we perform the re-decoration ourselves? Or do we call Mr. Bean?

[Lazaras]

OK gonna admit that I lament the loss of the old theme. Setting aside jokes of being snowblinded? The software upgrade makes it worthwhile.

Hats off to you for the work.
