Steven P. Administrators Posted September 1, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2020 At 12PM CET the forum will go offline for an upgrade to 4.5 which is a major version update from our 4.4.x version. It brings with it may new features and improvements (including better moderation tools, such as banning people from a topic) you can read about some of the changes here https://invisioncommunity.com/news/company/welcome-to-invision-community-45-r1206/ (note that Matt links to individual topics about features, because there are many changes). Hopefully our upgrade will go smoothly, but if it doesn't we can always roll back. In any case please be patient while we figure out problems should they arise. 1337ish, Groovedude, zhangm and 2 others 5 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shockz Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Will this improve how twitter embeds load onto topics? On anything not Chrome (i.e Firefox, Safari), a tweeter embedded causes any post anchor on page load to lose it's focus and you have to scroll around to find it.

FloatingFatMan Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 CSS is looking broken atm. Missing a lot of graphics assets and threads randomly only take half the window width... Tried to reply to a post earlier with an image and it didn't automatically show the image like usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, some things are broken right now, for the moment I have set the default theme as default so that topics and forums display properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted September 1, 2020 Supervisor Share Posted September 1, 2020 smoother upgrade than the original 4.0 release lol but yeah our custom themes do need some adjustments due to changes in 4.5 hopefully they should be cleaned up soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted September 1, 2020 MVC Share Posted September 1, 2020 Any sort of estimate on how long the upgrade might take? 2 hours? 20 hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoopZ Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Can't use Neowin on my phone now easily, basically everyone's posts in the forum is missing the header for who's posted a reply so it's just a load of text or picture with a line separating them.

Darkside is currently set to subscribers only due to its incomplete state; that are some parts of it that make it hard to use right now. Once the main Orion theme is back to near perfection then the color variances (Darkside and Pro) will be tweaked and re-enabled for everyone xrobwx71 and Mindovermaster 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the middle of tweaking that menu so the edit & report options are easier to access (making it so you don't need to click the three dots first) - They should be gone from the menu now 4 hours ago, primortal said: The icon for liking a post is just it's shadow, Orion theme: On Microsoft Edge (Chromium) and iPad Safari.
