Software Upgrade Tonight

[Scott Greczkowski]

Tonight I will be upgrading our software, it is a minor upgrade so there should be no issues. The upgrade will take anywhere from 30 second to 20 minutes, depending on the upgrade. (Last time it reindexed all the users and took about 20 minutes)

So here is more details about the upgrade.

Today, we are pleased to release XenForo 1.4.4. This release fixes a number of bugs and issues that were found since the release of 1.4.3. As this is a maintenance release, the vast majority of the focus was an increase in stability.

This release also adds a new CAPTCHA option. It is Google's new version of reCAPTCHA and it has been redesigned to ensure it is much more user friendly to humans. This does not replace the existing reCAPTCHA option. To begin using this new version you will need to obtain anAPI keyand provide that when selecting the new "Use reCAPTCHA (No CAPTCHA)" option.

Some of the bugs fixed in 1.4.4 include:

• Various fixes and improvements to the built in SMF 2.0 importer.
• Fixed an issue that would throw a server error when a poll is restored from a thread draft.
• Workaround an Internet Explorer bug which minimises the browser after posting.
• Correctly adjust post count of a user when a post is moved from a forum that does count to a forum that doesn't count.
• Fixed some IE11 bugs relating to copy and pasting content into the rich text editor.
• The "Manage profile posts on own profile" permission now allows a user to delete their own profile posts from their own profile.
• Changed the output of RSS feeds to bypass the use of the link / image proxy.
• Automatically link URLs used in Conversations created by the Warning system.

See theResolved Bug Reportsforum for further information.

So now they need to upgrade to support the Holosuite. Or at least, their own app for Android and iOS.

Compared to the old VB these updates are a breeze......

I'd lots rather work with IP.Board versus the older Vbulletin and phpBB forum software...just never could get some things to work right back when I admin'd...all those "hacks" dont play nice together in some instances.

I see that Rey has his Staff moniker back! Yay!!!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes indeed Rey is back! He told me that he has finished shipping all the 921's he promised so he is back in good standing.

Huh??? I didn't get mine yet.

Just because they were shipped does not mean they got to the correct destinations!

Workaround an Internet Explorer bug which minimises the browser after posting

I'm not even sure what to say about that. (Other than, "I'm glad I haven't used Internet Explorer for years.")

Since the update, the new posts string is giving me everything and not using any sort of exclude filter. I can't seem to find an exclude setting either.

 

[jayn_j]

OK, I guess I can go to each forum and ignore it.

It is a pain to redo all the forums to be ignored but well worth it.
The one problem I noticed is I cannot find the ability to ignore the "MOVIE TALK" forum. Scott can it be ignored?

I really like the new feture of being able to ignore individual threads. That's something I've wanted for a very long time.

Thank you for that! There is a particular thread in the IP/Streaming forum that allows a particular poster to fill with multiple daily news flashes, lots of cut and paste. I now have that thread on ignore!

Here in MN the DNR has a planned "wolf hunt". Maybe I can get signed up for that?

I noticed now when you post pictures it doesnt show them. It just says the name and "jpg" and you have to click on them to see the pic

I noticed that in the Ford at CES thread. It seems you're given the option to insert uploaded images as Thumbnails, the full image, or nothing which treats them as clickable attachments to the post.
