Upgrade of Forum Software
Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
I can't find it
I looked at the admin settings and you are currently set to "prosilver", which is the blue style you were enthusiastic about a few days ago.
Is that the one you want to use?

Yes I was also struggling to find where to change style. There is a setting in phpbb to force a certain style on all users, found at General -> Board Configuration -> Board settings, "Override user style". Is it possible this has been activated?
Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
Load times seem to have increased significantly. It isn't consistent, but it seems to be only the main page (and links off of the main page) that loads slowly. Once into a sub-forum things seem normal.
It's very strange.

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
In the top right you will see your avatar with a drop-down button next to it. Click on that and select User Control Panel >> Board Preferences. On that menu you will see an option to select the style you want to use.

Thank you.
Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
Has there been a software upgrade? My board style has change to a blueish silver, rather than the red style I had before. The user control panel field to select style has also vanished.
Edit: also, can't seem to browse sub forums. The top index page is there, and individual posts can be reached, but browsing can't be done.

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
Woah. Forum looks strange (probably just doesn't have our styles applied by default yet) and logo looks ugly. Weird things afoot, which I'm sure will resolve themselves if this is just part of a forum software upgrade.
Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
Sorry, gents. Upgrade in progress and not going according to plan.
Hopefully back to normal soon but I suspect we will need jdaw1 to recreate our board style as it isn't compatible with the new version.
I'm on it!

Progress.
We now have an upgraded version of the phpBB software that is linked to an upgraded version of the database. Hurrah!
But the PortForumRed2016 style is a disaster with this version so I am reverting everyone to the default style, prosilver.
JDAW will need some time to work out what to do next.

Thanks for all the efforts on maintenance Derek!
Something very strange happening when using Chrome browser. IE seems OK. Safari has a few gremlins going on.

Feel free to post details of strange things in this thread and I'll try to find a fix.

Try clearing the cache for each browser that you use.

Our usual style, ThePortForumRed2016, is now sort-of working, but with too many aesthetic failings. You are invited not to remark on similarities with its author.
There will be improvements. You are invited not to remark on dissimilarities with its author.

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
I think it takes up too much space and is a bit ugly. Improvements will be most welcomed by all who encounter it.

FYI, I can log in here on a regular computer but I can't log in through TapaTalk on my phone.

It puts a date and time stamp in the right hand corner of the quote. Now we will know where the crime was committed and precisely when.
And the user name is a link to their profile.

Re: Upgrade of Forum Software
Safari definitely had a problem for my apple devices until cache was deleted. Now seems to be ok other than blue styling to go with the red logo.
