    BOARD MIGRATED : LIST OF KNOWN PROBLEMS

    The board is upgraded to new software.

    Known problems, changed features and bugs are :

    - if you seem not to be able to logon, try "delete all board cookies" (at the bottom of the screen)
    - free-text search function takes too much space and therefore had to be switched off.
    - all avatars are lost in translation, although they are still present in the directories;
    I have put these avatars in the gallery so you can re-select your old avatar yourself.
    go to user control panel -> profile -> avatar -> gallery and select your old avatar once more.
    sorry, could not repair it myself, reselecting your avatar from the gallery is the only
    way to restore it.
    - add photobucket and imageshack (done, but need fix in aeroblue)
    - repair registration mechanism
    - add another style (where avatars show on the right side of the post)
    go to your user control panel -> board preferences and select style AeroBlue instead of ProSilver.
    NB fixes may be later in this style, because I have to maintain both styles
    - add logo (done)
    - improved backup (done)
    - add favicon again
    - move plans directory

    any problems you might want to report :
    - if possible send a PM to me (raalst)
    - otherwise email to SCupgradeproblems at gmail.com

    This isn't the correct thread to post your opinion of the website as a whole.

      Seems to work fine for me. Looks and feels different.
      Maybe I missed something, but could someone let us know what new features to look for I guess I (we) will stumble on them eventually
      Thanks

        Is it possible to place the avatars and user names on the left hand side of the page, like the old format? It feels a little odd, as every other forum I visit has the details to the left.

          @Larry
          I'm busy getting the kinks out, please simply try it out.
          this migration was NOT driven by demand for new features, but simply
          by the need to remain current with the software.
          up to date open source software is supported by a lot of people,
          but with the ancient versions we used, support was limited to,well, me.

          more info on the general possibilities of the board can be found
          here : http://www.phpbb.com/support/documen...uide/index.php

          @Andy
          the new boards knows socalled "styles", which govern the layout of the features presented.

          while the current is the default style, I will deploy another style which has the avatars on the left again.
          users will (probably) be allowed to choose from these styles.

          Regards,
          Ronald

            Thank you Ronald and Paul for all your hard work. In keeping the website software up to date, I know you are still working to get the kinks out of the system and the member's need to give Paul and Ronald the chance to do it.
            if you see a problem with something at least offer some type of solution to the problem, that will help Ronald and Paul to provide you with a better website instaed of just pointing out the problem.

                  But your answer should have come with a free class in computer tech!!
