  • Agreed, I expect we will be changing the software sooner than we had planned

    • I have noticed that some threads that I have posted in do not get populated in the latest posts section on the main page.
      Is this because those threads are before the update?
      Is it my settings?

      I had thought the activity around here was super slow; now I wonder if I'm missing some of it.

      • All, its been a little while since we "Upgraded" the forum software. Both Sonic and I are very frustrated at the issues we are having with the new forum software and are considering another migration to completely different forum software from xenforo. I have setup a demo site here http://072b040ff5458709.demo-xenforo.com/200/index.php you can login with admin admin which will be up for the next 3 days.

        Please take a look at post your feedback as we will likely migrate to this software and get rid of vbulletin

        • At first glance i like it, easy to post, search seems to work as expected too. I also had a quick play with colors, will take some time to figure out all the options but there is a basic S2Forum theme i setup to test with..

            Yeah it sends too be quite intuitive to use and a much simpler structure for adminstration too. I'm going to read a bit more of the docs over the weekend before we look at migrating

            • Looks ok to me. If Tapatalk works ok with it then even better as I can't reply to pm with the setup as is.

              • Did a quick login and test. Looks like a good base for the forum. The current one has some strange behavior that seem to drive people away from the forum and only visit the Facebook page regualar.
                I had some problems aswell with new topics and my RS2 project page not showing on the main page after posting. That way nobody will see that I added something, making the effort of posting something not worth it.

                • Yeah the bugs with recent posts are really annoying along with a host of other issues that we have found. We have been very disappointed at how bad the now software is

                    recent posts you mean bringing thread to the top of main page ?
                    or it is about that I can't see anymore what I've been posting through ''My Recent Posts'' ? on 4th January it was still OK........
                    And it is not showing to me what I've been posting later.

                    • Yeah more recent posts on threads should appear first. We may need to rebuild the post indexes again

                      • Could you please look into "s2forum" color scheme?

                        You can't read anything from the menus when pressing "..." on a post, see attachment.

                        The same error also occurs other places. It seems that we have light grey background and white text making impossible to read.

                            • Also forum search is fübar. Can't get the search result in any chronological order... makes it very hard to find anything.

                              Edit.

                              Got it working. Seems to be so many options for the search... Could you please change the default search settings to Date - Started post, Descending and view Topics?

                              Edit2.

                              Could you please turn off the function that when you add a image with the forum image post option the image will be visible in the editor window. It makes it very hard to post more than one image with your mobile phone. It would be a lot easier if the image link shows up as text. Now I always have to manually type in [IMG]xxx[/IMG] tags if I wan't to post more than one picture at ones.

                                Search function is non-existent now, you can put search terms in that you know for a fact exist and it still does not find them!
