Software Upgrade In Progress

[Scott Greczkowski]

My wife is having some minor surgery today, so while I have two hours wait until she is ready to go, I figured I would upgrade us to the new XenForo 1.5.

The new features in XenForo 1.5 include:

• Thread tagging
• Responsive admin control panel
• Two-step verification
• Floating notices
• Profile post comment improvements, including soft deletion and liking
• Admin sent alerts and conversations
• Welcome messages
• Automatic link title conversion
• Newest posts in the sidebar
• Independent language selection in the admin control panel

...and more.

As I am working the site may be unavailable for a few minutes and or it may look strange for a few minutes as I am working.

Other sites that have upgraded have said the upgrade has been painless so I am hoping the same will be true here.

I will update this post when I am done.

Thanks for allowing me to make SatelliteGuys better for YOU!

Hope all goes well with her surgery.

Ok upgrade is complete.

I do notice a few issues such as your username and log out have moved down to the navigation bar, and avatars are circles. I will fix those issues now.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Well the things that I saw that were odd are fixed. (Still need to do the fixes to the dark style)

Just got a call from the doctor and my wife is out of surgery and is in recovery. I will be able to go up and see her in a few minutes.

So because of that I am going to stop work for awhile.

One thing I noticed (and I am connected to the internet via tethering my iPhone) is that the site seems more "snappy" since the update. I hope you guys are seeing the same thing too.

So any other issues? (I still have to fix the dark styles this I know)

Now out at IHOP with my wife then to take her home to get some sleep.

No issues so far. But this time, your upgrade caught me in mid-posts.

I was waiting for you to hit the submit button but you were not fast enough.

Just tried several times to setup the two step verification via Verification Code via App (Google Authenticator) and I keep receiving the following error each time. I've tried clearing cookies, signing in/out of Satguys, deleting the entry from Authenticator and re-scan the barcode etc. but still receive the same error each time...

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Thanks I will look into it.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Coolman, this has been fixed and Two Step Verification is now working.

 

[coolman302003]

Thanks Scott!

I was successfully able to get it setup and working now!

The number of New Posts highlighted in red now makes me think I have 2,675 likes/alerts when I login!

agreed. And when viewing on a mobile phone it confuses me even more

 

[fred555]

Then the disappointment sets in that 0 people actually like my posts, not thousands.

Just another distraction and not really useful
