I See AJ's Been Monkeying With The Board

I was surprised, as no doubt many were, to see the Prosilver style pop up on GBFans when I logged in this morning.

I think this means an upgrade to a PhpBB 3.1.x version; the board was previously built on 3.0.x. Unfortunately, there’s enough differences in the codes and file structures that all of the old hacks and the custom style wouldn’t work on 3.1.x

It’s not massively different on the user end once you get used to it. Having run 3.1.x myself for over a year, I think things will be all right.

So no panic, please.

I already have a new style lined up, and surprisingly found decent replacements for the mods that were in place.

Hopefully by Monday this place will start looking like a new site.

Looking forward to it.

I started playing with 3.1 on a localhost back when it was in beta–I had all my styles recreated by the time 3.1.0 dropped, so when I switched the Ectozone you could barely tell the difference. :lol: Of course, I hadn’t heavily modded the board the way you have GBFans.

:love:

Well, this explains why the mobile app isn’t working

I’m not sure if that was something I did or if Tapatalk did it.

I can say for certain the mobile version is working on the Tapatalk app, but I haven’t been able to connect on the GBFans Android App.

So, is this the reason why the android app doesn’t work anymore? (it just hangs on the image of Venkman)

Tapatalk is working but I don’t seem to be getting any notifications on my iPhone.

Is there a way to have a dark theme? This one hurts my eyes.

This is how it looks on iPad. Any way to see the active posts again?

Click the “Quick Links” in the upper left corner. It should give you the following:

Sweet, thanks

How is this going by the way?

Hey AJ, presumably this is due to the current situation with the forum but I don’t seem to be able to edit my first posts in the for-sale section anymore.

I usually update first posts with current availability, pricing changes (not that there have been any since 2013) and product “upgrades”!

Thanks!

I’m digging it so far. The only option I’d like to see in the future would be a few more display options or skins. These are murder on my eyes.

Is it staying like this or is this just temporary?

I will have to look into setting that up again. Thanks for letting me know.

This is temporary.

The post editing should now be fixed thanks to an extension that Fritz tipped me off to.

I’m still working (slowly) on getting the design updated.

On topic of the forum rebuild, has anyone else been finding it a bit slow in responsiveness, or is that just me?

I got the impression AJ was going to do some recoding of the software…but I found that extension on PhpBB.com and said “Won’t this do what we want without having to hack the software?”

No problems I’ve noticed.

It is possible as there have been some extra scripts running at night. So if you’re on during the morning in the UK, it could be slow since it’s night over here.
