Dear family,

I've enabled the site now so everyone can access the forum and it's files. Our site is back but we're still tweaking in the background.

Please excuse us for any glitches you may come across whilst we continue to make adjustments in the site's appearances.

Rest assured, we are now back and running on the most secure and reliable site software.

Jimmy.

PS: Updated bugs list and fixes here.

Would this be the thread to report and submit any glitches we see, such as the "Thanks" feature on each post being gone (along with a list of the people who have thanked someone for a post)?

Glad to see the site is back online. A part of my life felt empty without checking the forum once a day for new posts :sweat:

Hi Jimmy,

It's great to see the site back up again.

With regard to reporting glitches, this is what I noticed when clicking on an image. The image controls in the top right of the screen do not show correctly. This happens with all the browsers I use to view the site.

Regards,
BeatlemaniaSA

Thank you for caring and supporting our site by checking in daily :)

Excellent feedback, I've enabled the "Thanks For Posts" option again, you should see it now.

Oops! Good spot bro those icons are definitely broken and I missed that. Will fix it up tonight :thumbup:

Lots of tweaks and fixing to do in terms of appearance. Even our "Latest Posts" feed is in need of a fix as it's currently not showing the latest posts but it'll be done :)

I can't go home these days, I'm already living on the street, so sad.
Glad to finally be home now
Thanks Jimmy for upgrading the forum.
I will also actively participate in testing and find bugs.

Thank you very much for helping us out with spotting the bugs!

So far, the list of critical issues are:
  • When clicking on an image to enlarge, the image buttons are broken.
  • The "Latest Posts" feed doesn't work and won't display any new posts by members.
  • Many Twitter links aren't working in Media Embed extension.
  • Red boxes behind icons in the index page won't go away unless pressing "Mark All Forums Read".
  • Green, member "online" icon is not aligned

I don't remember how this looked, but underneath each user's profile on the left of a forum post, there would be details such as the total number of posts they've made, total number of thanks received, and so on.

That's all gone now. You now only have the username and their ranking in the forum.
