Forum upgraded to Xenforo 2.0.12

[Bruce]

I performed a long awaited upgrade to the current version of the Xenforo forum software.

This upgrade will have added some features and abilities as well as likely broken some old favorites.

For example the "What's new" tab has replaced the Recent Threads functionality that was where most of us started viewing the forum.

We will be replacing addons that did not migrate to the new forum software.

Please let us know how you feel about the upgraded software, what may be missing and what you would like to see improved.

Thanks

Oh boy, this must be why everything on mobile looks different now. ......

I had a minor panic attack at first..... even confirmed the URL to be sure I was in the right place!

Thanks for all your work!

Just kidding.

@Bruce and @Administrative - thank you! What a great forum you guys run.
Wait... No more "@Administrative"? lol

I have a feeling that dislikes will be coming back.

The Xenforo 2 upgrade is supposed to be worthwhile but it broke all of our add-ons.

For continued access to security upgrades it is necessary.

should we expect most features (ratings buttons or user info under the avatar) to return as you continue to do updates or do we need to notify you of things that we miss

Always good to mention what you see as missing but things will be coming back as add-ons that disappeared are replaced.

I miss my "Winner" trophies. They were the only thing I had ever won in my life.

But nice upgrade.

 

[J-RAD]

Made me do a double take... This place is awesome no matter the format. Thank you for its existence! I miss all the other ratings options and wish to add "wow", "wtf?", and "Cool AF".

The Media Gallery is back and looks better than before.

Working on restoring improved searching.

 

[Bruce]

Enhanced searching is back.

Additional options to likes will return in coming days.

So far I like the improved editing and searching.

First off, like everyone else, I had to do a double take on the new site, almost night and day. The new look is really nice, going to have to explore all of the changes.

Something to possibly check into is the Facebook login function. I initially created my account with it was unable to login after the update, one password reset later and was good. Attached is the error that Facebook gives when attempting to login. It might have been my end but better to put it out there in case others are having an issue.

Thank you, the URL for authorization must have changed. The 1.5 version of Xenforo that we were running was at the end of its life and Facebook was changing APIs which was about to break login compatibility. After resolving this Facebook logins should work for years to come.

I noticed it was down last night. Logged on this morning, Wow, quite a change. I have not gone any further than this thread yet, but I noticed, when you click on your own content it goes nowhere. Also sigpics are viewed in text mostly except for @Scottintexas, I can see his.

 

[tabbibus]

Looks much cleaner! I like it. Wish we still had the different "like" options.

 

[Amar Nanduri]

I love the new look. The site looks like it went under the surgeons knife and is looking awesome now. I would love to have the the different like options emojis back. Those kept us entertaining.

 

[Adrian @ JB Solutions]

Like it - just need all of our like options back. That is one thing that really stood out about this forum.

 

[zipper]

Also @Bruce I noticed that the positive ratings have changed, maybe to only "likes" and does not count other positive ratings from the past? Mine has lost about 900+/-. Not complaining...just mentioning what I see.

The new software is a blast on mobile devices. Thanks again guys!
