Forum upgrade
Hey everyone,
You may have noticed the site just changed.... a lot. Well that's because I've just upgraded the forum software, two major versions ahead. So far so good.
However, I don't think our pretty Brewnosers site template is a simple drop in but I'll work on it. Also, I plan on upgrading tapatalk.
Cheers, and if you see something wierd please add a comment to this thread. It doesn't matter if it's small, I'd like to know anyway and I'm guessing most things can be fixed.
Thanks,
-Rob

Re: Forum upgrade
Thanks.
A couple of things. The upgrade wiped a few settings, like user email verification. Like 10 bots got through in the first minutes and I had to delete them. Argh.
There's some broken modules, some causing parts of the site to crap out. It's a work in progress.
Oh, and email notifications may not be working.

Re: Forum upgrade
Check this phpbb 3.2 style out, I think just adding our black & orange logo and it would be perfect. Responsive too.

Re: Forum upgrade
Yep, great work! And I think the flat style would be a good way to go.
Out of curiosity, where are we getting the significant performance improvement from? Did you prune/reduce big attachments from the DB? Did you throw more CaC resources at it? Or is the new phpBB just that much better?

Re: Forum upgrade
Thanks. I'll get that template going sometime today.
I noticed the site working better as well. I think it's all phpbb since I haven't done anything else significant. The upgrade was pretty huge with regards to the database as well so I bet that's where most of the increase in performance has come from. Indexes and other schema changes probably.
This time around we should keep the add-ons slim which will let us stay on top of updates a bit easier.
