Forums Upgraded to v1.5

[arn]

Hi all,

We performed a forum upgrade tonight. We moved from the 1.4 -> 1.5 branch of Xenforo. It's possible something broke, and if so, let me know

A list of some of the improvements are here:
https://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenforo-1-5-0-released.103412/

I think there's a lot of backend improvements, so most won't be immediately obvious most users.

- Tagging of threads is new. Which I'm not sure how that will perform.
- Two factor authentication is available for everyone

Let me know if you notice anything broken.

Ooo I see a ui change here. What else do we get...?

 

[Gav2k]

Ok that's broken lol

@arn when this is viewed in portrate on the iPhone 6plus the replies don't have text in them. It's ok in landscape though.

 

[robpow]

All posts are empty, at least in the mobile view.

Ah, so that's why the site went offline for an hour. I'll check the new features later.

 

[arn]

crap. ok. I've jumped back to the old theme while I fix that.

Lol thanks mate. You could have started a revolution.

 

[arn]

well, I can't get it fixed tonight.

Looks like the old version of the theme is working well enough for now. It just doesn't support the new 1.5 features. I'll update this thread when we are fully upgraded.

Hi Arn,

I wasn't able to connect to the forums.macrumors.com for a few hours, I tweeted about it this evening:

Do you keep track of twitter? But, glad we're all back on track!

Cheers

We were down about 14 hours ago (1-3am eastern), but shouldn't have been down 2-5 hours ago. I guess it's working for you now?

Can't use the rich text editor anymore on my 6S.

Can't use the rich text editor anymore on my 6S.

Odd

I'm not seeing that but hopefully will be addressed soon

Can you tell me if this is still happening?

The new theme should be in place. Let me know if there are any other problems.

Minor issue, but the size/position of the new thread button on the mobile site seems a little odd and causes the title text to wrap (looks like this on my iPhone 6s+ as well).

On the latest Firefox, some graphics don't show up. Tested on a new profile with no extensions, and on another Mac. On Safari, the graphics are fine. Not sure if this is due to the new forum software or something else. Nothing has changed on my end though.

It's odd, I'm on Google Chrome and many Unicode icons are missing, similar to your picture. If I do something that fixes it, I'll let you know.

 

[arn]

I think this was a mistake I made in changing some of the paths around. Seems like its working now.

 

[redheeler]

The "Thread Starter" indicators are missing.

 

[Michael Goff]

Same problem with the new thread button here with the latest beta.

 

[myrtlebee]

Not sure when this changed, but "Your Threads" and "Your Posts" have been replaced by "Your Content" in the dropdown menu. It was nice to be able to see threads with the old option.

 

[maflynn]

The "Thread Starter" indicators are missing.

I just noticed that as well. Hopefully we can get that back, as its a useful piece of info

 

[Michael Goff]

If you download the content blocker "Focus" and turn off web fonts, the buttons are all the right sizes. That being said, a lot of icons don't work that way.

Edit: Nope, stopped working quickly

Discovered that I had to whitelist MR in Purify in order to post following the update.

I don't see that. I have purify on right now and am able to post. What happened when you tried?
