RSWB Forum Maintenance is now complete, and all appears to be working as expected. Time for a ride!
The software still has a similar look and feel and that is a good thing. There are many new features in this version and you should feel free to explore and become familiar.
One new feature worth mentioning here is the quoted text in a reply - the default is to hide the HTMP markup codes. This means that it is easier to edit the quoted text accurately (and not have partial codes showing!)
Another feature is the navigation hierarchy at the upper left of each page - makes for a cleaner overall look and makes it easier to jump around and also to know where you are in the Forum Community.
Good news is, it all continues to be in English!
Issues that have been fixed:
- All features that used to work before the PHP upgrade, but then were then broken after the PHP upgrade and before the Forum Software upgrade, e.g. Reply, Search, "View New Posts", "View Today's Posts", etc.
- Multiple quotes in replies (which was not working all along) is now working [note - the icon has changed slightly to a plus sign (+) with a callout"]
While I was at it, I made a few immediate changes. These include:
- User Location is now required at registration, and is displayed in the header of each post.
I will be making additional changes and improvements over time and these will be announced here.
Any major system events such as upgrades etc. will be done in the same way that this one was done - advance notice in this Forum a few days before, and a system down notice for the duration that Forum Community is down., and all appears to be working as expected. Time for a ride!
