Xenforo Upgrade

[mikewazowski]

As of this morning, the forums software has been upgraded from v2.1.12 to v2.2.12.

We've already had one report that the mobile forums experience is much better. Hopefully others who have experienced problems will find the same.

Here's a link to one of the new features: Have you seen...? | XenForo community

There's a lot of new features and we'll be investigating whether we'll be enabling these over the next while.

Much better for me.

I just noticed when I started a new thread it appeared to search the title to see if it was already a subject. That is very cool if it works properly.

But will people pay any attention to this?

They need to make it say "There are already [number] of threads about this, dumbass. Did you even search for it first?" and make it ban anybody who starts a thread with the title "question" or "quick question".

The first time I tried it I hit return twice as I was used to having to do that. As well as hitting return or space after I backspaced. Mucho bettero as they say on the border.

Only issue I am seeing is when you copy text from another site and paste it into a reply box on this site, if the text was larger, I used to be able to highlight it here in the reply box and use the Remove Formatting button and it would change the pasted text to the forum default. Today, that is not working for me.

Are you doing this from mobile or desktop? If you’re doing it from desktop, you can do CTRL + SHIFT + V and that *should* strip any formatting and just do plain text.

I am doing from pc. The button always worked and stopped today.

It is not, as when I do ctrl + shift + v, it is pasting text, not removing formatting.

Remove formatting is working fine for me.

Here is a video. Notice when remove formatting button is pressed, there is no visual indication like when pressing B for bold type? It always used to reduce the size to forum default and remove any other formatting. Today it is no longer working in Chrome on Windows 10..

Search forums link is now dead. Getting blank page via Firefox & a 500 error via Chrome, two different PCs

Looks like an issue with an outdated plugin. Lindsay is looking at it now.

 

[Whiskey3JMC]

I signed out and back in, works fine now

 

[blantonl]

Search and media galleries have been fixed.

Nice! Looking good so far. Even seems a bit snappier. Thanks for upgrading! I know it’s an involved process.

Upgrade is actually pretty easy. It's all the testing we need to do up front to make sure we're not breaking all the integrations with the rest of RR

 

[03msc]

Right. That's what I meant by process - not just clicking a button without doing anything else before or after. Definitely and improvement. Good stuff!
