Dean Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi all. There is a major upgrade for our forum software IP.Board (3.4.8 -> 4.1) that I've been putting off installing for a while now, but it's time to jump in and get this done. I will be looking at doing this in the next day or two. It shouldn't take me more than an hour or so to do the upgrade, obviously I'll need to bring the boards down while I do this. Because this is an upgrade to a new major version a lot of the software has been rewritten and redesigned, so you will notice that the forums will look a bit different as the core theme has been redesigned. Everything should mostly be in the same place but if you get stuck you can post in the FAQ forums and I'll do my best to help out. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Thanks guys. 5 hours ago, Who Else But said: Thanks for going through with an update! Much appreciated. What improvements are coming? And also, is there a way to donate to the person running this forum? Keep us updated on the FB group when the boards go down! Thanks for doing this, Dean. What's the facebook group's name We don't have anything set up for donations, the thought is appreciated but we make enough from the ads to pay our server costs so there's really nothing for any donations to go towards. I do my best to look after this stuff here because I love this place, certainly don't want any money out of it! Here's our facebook group, people post in here if the forums are ever down so I can keep everyone up to date. https://www.facebook.com/groups/blink182online/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Value Boy Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Oh and Thanks Dean, looks great. Makes the old forum look pretty dated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Amazing. It seems more fluid too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melty Mark Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 It's pretty intuitive but everything is spaced so far apart! Bahhh! Just have to get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knapppers Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Im noticing now on my phone that the page isnt fitting the screen. Its like half the width of the screen. I notice that theres an ad at the bottom which is way wider than the page which seems to maybe be the problem. Hopefully im explaining it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient #48273 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 That's happening to me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 That was the ad, should be fixed now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotbrianpeppers Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 It doesn't seem to show who is being quoted, just the text of the quote. Is this fixable? Other than that, looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melty Mark Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Major shout out to Aria as well, the owner of this whole shebang and the one who takes care of all our finances. Say thank you, chirdren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it not look like this for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotbrianpeppers Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Yeah it looks fine now. But, if you go back and look at posts from before the update, it doesn't show the name. I just checked a few pages back in the blink general discussion thread. This must be what I was noticing at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
