Administrators SCOUTER-Terry Posted November 29, 2017 Administrators Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hi folks! Today, we have upgraded the forum software from the outdated version to the latest stable release. Unlike the old forum version, this new version is feature-rich, security hardened with automated anti-spam, more professional, with the ability to integrate numerous add-ons/services, and is built on the contemporary HTML5/CSS3 framework. It is also fully responsive to media devices (PC/Tablet/Mobile). Please be patient, but explore the new software and let us know how you like (or dislike) new features. Some of these things may just take some getting used to, other items we can continue to improve (or change). Please use this thread to post your feedback and/or any bugs or errors detect - we'll have developers monitoring this thread. Thanks! 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators SCOUTER-Terry Posted November 29, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted November 29, 2017 Quote Re: concerns over "responsive" design on mobile The new mobile interface is generally much easier to navigate. However, if you prefer to view standard web page interface while on your mobile device, you can achieve by "requesting desktop version" as a setting in your browser (this is a standard checkbox in the settings of Chrome and most browsers). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoutmaster Teddy Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I was denied logging in with my oft-used name and password. I had to reset my password twice to get in. Hopefully that was just a glitch with my account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkwin Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Once I bolded a section, everything else I typed would be bolded, even after I turned bold off again. I had to highlight the text when I was finished to unbold sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJCubScouter Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Recent posts is back! (Although it is called Latest Posts now, but same thing.) Thanks for the upgrade Terry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in my day we only had HTML 1, and we were happy to have it! And we walked to school, uphill, both ways! Not like these kids today, I'll tell you... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stosh Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 It would be nice if the header on the page would lock so that one doesn't have to scroll all the way back to the top to select new posts off the menu. Most software have the menus lock. It's always been a pain to get back to new posts, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RememberSchiff Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Still kicking the tires but definitely an improvement. I particularly like the new up,down, haha, confused, sad voting system and the ability to change your vote. Visually pleasant on pc and particularly cell where I was previously resizing windows and fonts. Moderator control has still not been centralized onto one screen. Under Browse Tab: I don't know if there is a need for Leaderboard and Calendar. I posted a Calendar event. Under Feed Tab: Search HUUUUGE improvement and it looks like long past content (to 2004?) has been restore and nicely formatted. Nicely Done! All for now. Thanks for the software update. RS If someone is Banned or pegged as a Spammer why aren't they immediately logged out? Edited November 30, 2017 by RememberSchiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RememberSchiff Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 This started today. I remain listed in right column WHO's ONLINE (See Full List) after I have logged out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJCubScouter Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Maybe the system only checks on a periodic basis to update who is logged in and who is not. So maybe you stay on the list for 30 seconds, or a minute, or longer. Those are just wild guesses, I don't really know how this stuff works but I know that changes in a computer system are not always reflected instantaneously.

RememberSchiff Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Things seem back to normal. Another thought, maybe Feedback/Bugs/Errors should be purged with a software upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBob Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 This old fart is just getting used to the new features. But I really like the feedback options and the 'recent posts' area. I'm able to stay current with much less hunting around. (Fewer CPU cycles on your end.) Now if I can figure out how to quote multiple selections from different pages, I'll become a verbal warrior from Hades. Thank you. JoeBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RememberSchiff Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 The login Forgot Password feature has been reported as not sending a password recovery email to the affected member @BinTharDunThat . Over the last two+ days, he created two new accounts Eagle-EagleDad and TryingToGetAccess to get our attention, which it did. He has since found his old password and can login as BinTharDoneThat but Forgot Password never sent him email or directed him to a password recovery webpage. Does Forgot Password require any browser permissions? Seems risky to test with my moderator account. @SCOUTER-Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
