Forum Upgrades

[clikchic]

Hi Everyone

Sorry for the delay in regards to the forum upgrades, I have been sick a lot of late and then had to get past some deadlines, and so that has slowed me up a bit.

The test site is working well and while there will be several plugins that no longer work we can update them bit by bit. I am keen to get the upgrades done so that we have a working forum on the new software, and take care of the rest after that.

I hope to perform the upgrades over the next few days so there will be some down time. I will get them done as quick as I can to minimise the downtime.

For updates, see the Ozgolf Facebook Group where I will keep you posted on progress.

Ok guys, upgrades are complete, bear with us while we update everything and sort out the CMS etc.

Wondered what happened when I tried earlier to log in - new forum style.

I wonder why forums need to change their style from time to time when you get used to a familiar type which the everyday user enjoys.

Guess it's part of moving forward. If it is for the better of the site, then so be it.

What does this one do that the other one didn't?

I actually like the format, will take some getting used to but in the long run i think its a good thing

Nice work Robyn ..... thanks

[ozdevil]

like the looks of this forum better then the old forum top stuff... like all new things everything has teething problems and some people may like the new format and some people wont.

cheers

I much prefer the look of this one, much more streamlined and not so dated looking.

[Jarro]

We have Blogs too.

The WAnkers will love that feature

[Yossarian]

Thanks queerlander. Looks good CC!

[MegaWatty]

Damn it. Already pressed a wrong button and lost my post. Shouldn't happen again.

Explain the blog feature for Yoss please.

[goughy]

There'll be a few things for us to learn more about, the blogs and the articles. What was the portal is now that home page, and we can promote say an interesting thread to an article on the home page. It also looks like we can have rss feeds on there, so if anybody has suggestions then let us know and we can look at maybe getting some on there.

[Yossarian]

A right sided swing feed?

[mike]

What's a blog?

[Iain]

Looks good!!

[Grunt]

Good work Clic Chic. You are right it has a more modern feel to it.

One thing though is it just my connection or is it a little slower tonight?

I just discovered something. Hover over the thingos on the left and it tells me how many posts I have in that thread.

I have 67 posts in "What pisses you off"
I have 12 posts in "Thing you like"

Oh dear.

[Lucasto23]

You are indeed an angry, angry man Mike.

[Eldrick]

Looks good.
Should we report issues or bugs in here if we find any?

[MegaWatty]

Looking forward to firing up the new forum on my PC. Not sure if it's as 'mobile' friendly as the last one. Although, it's only early days. It could be a case of getting used to it.

[jaybam]

Yeah not a big fan of change but am sure will get used to it. Where have the smilies gone?? All i am getting is boxes with red crosses in them ???

[zacdullard]

I'm getting the red crosses aswell.

Other than that it looks good, although I will have to get used to no portal.
