Forum Update!

Post by Perturbee »

The forum needed an update, there have been several bug and security fixes which I installed today. The new version means that our old themes (looks) no longer work. Rather than waiting for updated themes, I preferred to install the fix for potential security issues.

The hosting company is also doing some maintenance this week (should be completed on Friday the 6th).

It is possible that you might get the occasional MySQL error when maintenance is causing a heavy load on the server, but that should resolve itself within a few seconds and should not occur after the 6th.

Love it! :D

I've used this format before on another site. For those among us who like to begin with unread posts, use Quick Links. ;)

Is there some sort of cheat sheet as to what all of the different symbols beside the topics means? Particularly the one with the scrolling lines...

If I remember correctly:
The scrolling lines are when a topic has more than 25 replies (or whatever number is set by the administrator).
The bubbles are red when you haven't read it yet, and gray/blue when you have.
The bubble will have a red star when you posted in that thread.
And just like the old forum, when you start a topic, you can add a little icon next to the bubble (the 'i', a heart, a flame, etc.).

EDIT TO ADD: I sorted the forum by replies, and it seems that, for our forum, more than 23 replies will trigger the scrolling.

You are correct with everything else, but the number of replies causing the scrolling icon ("Popular Topic") is still at the default 25. :)

Light bulbs are sticky threads and i are announcements/global topics.
