We have carried out a long overdue upgrade and repair of our software and databases. This has meant some scary moments for me but we are back:BigGrin:

Although things might look the same to you there are some major improvements and i will be pointing these out to you later. Meanwhile if things are not working for you please shout in the website help forum.

For those that were locked out of the forum for 3 or 4 hours this morning I apologise for you missing out on your morning dose of fun.. Please enjoy:thumb:
 
Well done Jim but what if Funsters cant remember their Fun nickname and password?

I would suggest a lost password recovery on the 'sign in' page using their email addy to recover.

I had to scratch my head, fortunately I guessed correctly:thumb:

Regards

Peter
 
I had to look up my password to get in and my colours in the fonts are not working :Doh: will close down and come back and see what happens.
 
If you close the browser and then ope and login, is it not remembering you?

Text colors, I'm on it:cry:
 
Hi Jim when I open Chat it shows the lounge, sure that should be "Wildmans Lair", after all I live there. Hee hee

No, just loged in again and I don't have the FUN banner now just a cross - is it me ?
 
Very Interesting.......Visitors books as well.I like it.:thumb:

Well done.:BigGrin:

My Colours in the fonts weren't working for a while but are ok now.
 
nope no banner here either, also have changes to title bar, Demo vBBlog and Demo vBAdvanced, the later is a broken link.

So relieved

better, but the lounge is still the lounge, hee hee.
 
Still working on those text colours, they are not working for me. :shout:

I am being shouted at by James, i'm breaking a promise, I've gotta go and help him set up a zip wire,:Eeek:

I have been sat in front of the PC since 4am and I am making silly mistakes. A break will do me good. Anything else you find busted please shout and i will get to it as soon as i get back:thumb:

Methinks you have got to tick 'remember me' box on log in otherwise you have to keep signing in after a time, never had to before:cry:
 
Also just noticed...

...the little icon in my Bookmarks Toolbar is no longer a dinky little orange motorhome :Sad:. It's something I don't rocognise. Link Removed.

Oh and the 'smile' that's changed now looks like :Smile: - sort of insipid if you ask me (I know - you didn't!:BigGrin:)

Good luck with any tweaking you need to do Jim.

I am finally logged in again, I did miss my morning MH fun session.


xxxxxxx
 
4 things to tweak

Notifications not working properly,
photos disappeared from word association4.
Text colours still not working.
Have to log into Chat every time.
Ok give up so what has improved? hee hee

The main reason for the upgrade is to fix loopholes that allow the posting of porn by robots, this had been getting steadily worse over the last few months. Other improvements as a consequence are outlined below.

* Security issues fixed
* Inline spam management & prevention
* Thread tagging
* Search cloud / tag cloud
* Thread prefixes
* Reciprocal friendships between users
* Public visitor messaging on profile pages with 'conversation' feature
* User picture galleries with user comment facility
* User-created social groups with invite only and moderated membership options
* Extended member profile pages
* Customizable member profile pages with admin-controlled styling abilities
* Inline editing of custom user profile fields
* Lightbox viewer for attached images
* Viewable and comparable history maintained for post edits
* Extended re-authentication for inline moderation actions
* Notices system for navigation bar
* Multiple human-verification systems including reCAPTCHA, image verification and Q
* User change history
* Social bookmarking integration

All of the additional and separate programs need to be tweaked or upgraded work with the new software, this means work on, the Links Directory, Photo album, Downloads Section, Arcade, Reviews, Classifieds and Chat, all of these are delicately linked, fixing one can break another. I hope to have things running a little better by Monday, but there is too much rugby on TV to guarantee that. :Smile:

Hi Jim (& all)
much slower screen refresh, I'm nodding off, but... I'm on my 4th glass of red, & she's good at refreshing that !
It's lashing it down here, I hope the birthday duo are dry, but wet inside.
regards
Allen

Excellent news.

You forgot to mention the logging of visitors to your Profile Page Jim.:thumb:

**Does that involve a "Secret Handshake"?.:Eeek::Rofl1:
