Forum upgraded

[Julio Franco]

We've upgraded Xenforo to its latest version which should bring a number of performance enhancements and better compatibility with our software stack. Although this is maintenance release, we also upgraded over half a dozen add-ons so please report back if you notice any weirdness or glaring errors when using the site or the forum.

Thank you!

I can only click six of the smilies in the editor. This was one of a few fixes I was hoping for, but no joy.

cliffordcooley We even upgraded the editor along with the rest of the updates. On which browser?

Not an instant fix by any means but something to look forward to, Xenforo 1.2 will bring a completely new editor: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/a-new-editor-and-much-much-more.50519/

Mods will be happy to know the spam removal lag/timeout is supposed to be fixed soon.

 

[cliffordcooley]

On which browser?

Opera 12.15
It's been this way across every version.

Edit:
It acts as if the Smiley drop down is rendering behind the text area. The cursor acts as if the drop down is not even there.

Oh, Opera... I guess that will auto-fix when it switches to Blink.

I take it my issue has been discredited.

Ever since the last update, I am unable to access messages. I am trying to open a conversation and it never loads. Chrome just shows the loading animation in the tab, but it never loads anything. The same issue is present in Safari and I think it will be the same with Firefox, Opera, etc. I am on a Mac by the way if that has anything to do with it.

Not you Cliff, Opera! (Note the smiley, brought to you by the wonderful people at Mozilla.org).

JC's issue btw is gone.

In forum mode I can't see a message reply box, running IE8 (at work)

Would if I could...

Yet, I can click on all smiles with my Opera. And Windows XP SP3.

This is a demo, not spamming...

Are there any more smilies I can't see?

On articles, where it says: "Read User Comments (x)", the x is inaccurate. For example, on the 780 article, it says there are 11 replies when there are really 24. Also, I am not receiving alerts on replies, I am not sure if it is only to the articles.

 

[Julio Franco]

I just checked and the count is accurate. It's entirely possible a ~1-2 comment difference because of the caches involved on the forum, news and reviews, a small discrepancy of 15 minutes is possible, but from 11 to 24? Right now they all sit at 28 comments.

Now, I'm not saying you are not correct, rather I must ask is this something you are seeing often?

 

[Jad Chaar]

It is fixed. I guess it was some odd glitch that occurred earlier. Thanks!

In addition to the above, it seems that Guest replies to watched topics don't generate an alert (maybe because there is no 'guest' user for the notification).

Also, no Tapatalk...

This is occurring again. My messages wont load.

 

[Jad Chaar]

Julio Franco I cant receive your message because of the glitch. I tried Safari, same issue.

 

[Julio Franco]

Ran another (smaller) set of upgrades last night. Let us know if you come across any issues. Thanks!

 

[Jad Chaar]

This messaging issue is so annoying. I dont get why it only happens with unread conversations, but I can open read ones.

My IE8 issue has been fixed, thanks (y)

The search function doesn't seem to be working any longer. I keep getting an error message, "The search could not be completed. Please try again later."
