It's just a standard forum upgrade - nothing too exciting unfortunately this time...

I'm going to do this probably now on Friday morning.

Another load of css and template changes, eh, Dave. :)

It's greatly appreciate how much work you've got ahead of you. And for all of those who don't know what's involved, I can tell you there's a hell of a lot of work.

Let's hope this version is more secure than the last. :P

Cheers,

We're back... just about :/ It was quite painful, but a big thanks to Greg and Evan for helping to get us back online! Couldn't have done it without them.

If you spot anything a little quirky, please add it as a reply in this thread and we'll try and iron these things out ASAP.

Why does "Moneypenny" keep turning into "My Assistant"?
(I've noticed the switch twice in my tenure.)

What's wrong with Moneypenny? I like Moneypenny. Is there a petition I need to sign to keep her?

No, kidding. :) But it's nice to see CBn up again. Still figuring some things out, but it seems to be okay...

Although, what is 'allies'... it doesn't work for me (yet).

Very minor problem, but my Blades logo isn't showing up (next to my signature).. It's showing the "cannot view image" warning or whatever the red X thingy is!

Hey Dave.

As per usual. A very stellar job, my friends.

There's just a couple of issues that I've noticed.

When clicking on a member to see their profile. There's rating_5_mini.gif image missing, and some padding or spacing required.

Posted Image

Also. The RTE/Reply Box is not skinned. And we're missing the img-resized.png image.

You may want to check your subfolders. Also, I'm seeing all of this in IE6 which apparently is not compatible with IPB v2.2.0.

There's a way to line up the post screen with the emoticons. I can PM you the fix if you wish.

Just wanna help my friends out.

Cheers,

Ian

There's also quite a few avatars that need uploading. Including Bryce and Athena's.

This happened to me when moving a client to my server. I think sometimes FTP times out when your making the coffee or having a pint. There's no queue, and everything appears to have been uploaded.

Maybe we can blame Daniel Craig for this as well. lol

I can't seem to get text colours to work

:)

At the momo, I would go with the colloquial...... "it's ***** "

Hiya. Doccy.

It IS possible by clicking on the 'A' and selecting your colour.

Here's a screenie fo you, Mate.

ROFLMAO. Actually. I was quite lucky. I got a haggis the first time I used it. lol

You have to swipe (like credit card) the text you want to colourise, then select the colour via the capitalised 'A'. Then you've got to tap your feet and repeat after me "I want to have colour". "I want to have colour". Then after all that. Bugger crap happens. lol

Na. You should be swinging da kilt wid excitement. :)

I have to say, that I hate this version of IPB. V2.1.7 was a great step forward. It wasn't too 'bloated', and members/new members found it quite easy to circumnavigate. But this versions full of unintelligent idiocy's. Just look at any members profile. Are you really interested that MRS P. Bowmore from 22, Blowmore Crescent has made a comment that your hair is getting more and more grey?.

When IPB was in v1.3 final. It was a fantastic discussion piece of software. Now it's like a consensus on whether you'll live or die over the Christmas holidays. ROFLMAO.

Surely we're all here to chat with one-and-other, and not delve too deeply into what we think of each other.

Cheers.

OK, I'm not sure if this is related to this update, but today I have been having problems with the CBn forums. It seems each time I click a link or load a new page it seems to 'forget' that I have already logged in. If I click something like 'post reply' I have to keep clicking log in before it will do anything. The browser I'm using Firefox 2, in case that is relevant.
