New Website

Hi all,

I have changed the software that runs the forum and website today.

The new software is a content management system and a forum.

This will allow users to posts not just questions, but to post articles and news about fish keeping etc.

This new software will allow us to add more features to the website without requiring any significant changes.

Hopefully we will be adding blogs and photo galleries for users soon.

If you have an issues with it, PM or email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

I do apologise for not putting up any notice about the move, I am off sick today from work and I got a bit over-zealous setting up the new software.

Regards

Darragh

Ok, I'll have a look into that

Thanks

Darragh

Please excuse my apparent ignorance...have we lost the PM facility? Would it be possible to access 'saved' PMs?

John

'view post since last visit' feature is now called \"Show Latest Posts\", it's at the top of screen below the banner logo

PM should be working now, although saved PMs have not been migrated yet, I'm currently working on that.

To PM somebody, just click the little \"PM\" icon below there username in the forum.
Also, you will seen on the left hand side menu a menu called \"Private Messages\" this wil indicate if you have any unread messages and you can also click on it see any previously read messages.

Fins and Things should be able to moderate their own board again, I have been working on migrating the moderators today.
If you are a moderator and are not currently showing up as a moderator, can you PM which boards you did moderate.

The issue with the layout and the posts moving all the way to the right should be fixed now, it was to do with the graph showing the amount of users posts being to big.

I will look into altering the text colour for the forum, it may take me a little while to figure out how to change that.

On replying to post, you have 2 options, you can either reply to the a particular post in a topic by clicking on \"Reply\" on the post which has all the formatting options or \"Quick Reply\" which has no formatting options or you can reply the Topic (complete discussion) by clicking on \"Reply Topic\" at the top or bottom of the page.

Hope that helps.

A new PM facility has been put in place.
I am currently working on migrating the saved PMs from the old forum to this new forum

Just one comment I have grey lettering against a white background finding it a bit of a strain on the auld peepers.

I have changed the text colour to black on white to make it easier to read.

Hi all

The website maybe down for a few minutes between 20:00 and 20:15 to restart the database.
We are hoping this will fix a number of issues to do with \&quot;new posts\&quot; etc.

Sorry about the short notice, but service should only be interrupted for a few minutes

Daragh,

It's the most request feature people want back . All I can is that I am looking into it at the moment and may take a little while as it seems to be buried in the code for the forum

Darragh (with 2 r's)

I'm doing some work on the performance issues, you hopefully should see the forum getting a bit faster.
Darragh

Pete,

I'll look into it, seems someone has changed the timezone on the server from Central Time to GMT which has caused the clock to offset by 6 hours

Regards
Darragh
