LUF Admin Posted March 10, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 10, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Quick heads up: In the next few days (most probably Friday, March 12) we will do an update of the forum software. This will only take a few minutes, but afterwards some things have to be set up again. There will be only a few changes for you - I will inform you as soon as the update is done.

Advertisement Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Hi LUF Admin, Take a look here Friday (March 12th) Update Forum Software. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
farnz Posted March 11, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 11, 2021 What benefits will the software update bring please, Andreas? Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUF Admin Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted March 11, 2021 A bit speed, a bit nicer interface, a lot of things under the hood to keep everything running. Nothing to fear 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUF Admin Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted March 12, 2021 Core Update is done. I'm now fixing things in the background: New Search index („Activities“ and „Search“ provide no or little results right now – takes an hour or so) Updating plugins like Classifieds and member lists Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted March 12, 2021 Share #7 Posted March 12, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I don't see anything new on the right, but I don't have any adverts on my forum, so that might be the difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted March 12, 2021 Share #8 Posted March 12, 2021 For those who don't know what the forum looks like after you have become a Premium member, here is a screenshot (I've shrunk it so that you can see all of the International section) Well worth the fee, IMHO.

LUF Admin Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share #9 Posted March 12, 2021 Classifieds is the last big issue I'm struggling with. The topic summary is new: It shows some important facts about a thread. I shows only if a thread has three or more pages It's now located under the first post, not in the right column (where it eats up space better needed for images…) Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted March 12, 2021 Share #10 Posted March 12, 2021 I hope the bug which stops you making successive image posts without refreshing your browser has gone. The one that tells you that you have exceeded the size limit when you haven't! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith (M) Posted March 12, 2021 Share #15 Posted March 12, 2021 A refreshing update - colours look good. However, my attempt to link to a Flickr photo in the usual way (as done many times before) results in just the link text appearing - no image!

LUF Admin Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share #16 Posted March 12, 2021 This is one of the bigger changes: BBCodes are gone. But: For almost every BBCode application we have a better solution Simply paste your Flickr Link: https://flic.kr/p/Wcyvns … and the forum software will embed it: Welcome, dear visitor!

plasticman Posted March 12, 2021 Share #19 Posted March 12, 2021 It's also a nice touch that moderators can now rule from behind a subtle shield of anonymity 😀 Welcome, dear visitor!

evikne Posted March 12, 2021 Share #20 Posted March 12, 2021 Some of the text and symbols up to the right are hardly visible on my Mac (Safari 14.0.3). On my iPhone this is not visible at all. Is it meant to be like this? Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! And the custom activity streams used to have the possibility to go to first unread post when clicking on a title. This option seems to be missing now. I know I can click on the small bullet beside each title, but it was much easier when the entire title worked this way, especially when reading on a mobile phone.
