Forum Software Upgrade
Forum Software Upgrade
Last night (this morning really) I attempted to upgrade the forum software to the newest version.
Everything went smooth up until the upload was complete, and then we were getting a lot of server errors that made the site completely inaccessible. I worked on it from approximately midnight CST to 3:35am CST. After digging through the server logs I discovered what the issue was; an extension didn't update when it should have. I manually updated it and the site sprang back to life.
This morning things still look good, but please be on the lookout and let me know in this thread if you encounter any anomalies. A screenshot, if possible would be helpful too.
Thank you, and thanks for all the support and patience.

Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Re: Forum Software Upgrade
I've noticed that too.
Fingers crossed it's just an anomaly while the database gets reparsed.

Re: Forum Software Upgrade
This was posted by @FTE so I know there wasn't user error.
1) When the URL was shortened, the entire URL became unclickable so it won't take you to the correct landing page.
See where I underlined where the end isn't hyperlinked

2) Also the mention feature seems to be down.
See examples:
@FTE
[mention]FYE[/mention]
3) Unless he's changed it, FTE's icon has disappeared.

Re: Forum Software Upgrade
URLs are messed up. For now post URLs without using the URL BBcode tag.

Yep, seeing the issue with a post in the WRUW thread as well with a link posted by Halaku: viewtopic.php?p=21812#p21812TheJohnP wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2019 3:06 pm This was posted by @FTE so I know there wasn't user error.

Matt is aware and working on it.

Re: Forum Software Upgrade
Off-hours maintenance windows and advance notice, marks of a pro.
I noticed the likes feature is gone. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing...

[EDIT] Oooh, this is neat:
All four posts include quotes, but only the pre-update posts show 'em properly. And wtf is with this github.io frame? I pasted the raw imgur url.

There, that's a little less obnoxious.

Re: Forum Software Upgrade
Still working on things behind the curtain. I could disable the board until I'm done, but I don't really want to.
Things will look funky from time to time until I'm finished.
