Forum upgrade to version 4.5


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

Any sort of estimate on how long the upgrade might take? 2 hours?  20 hours?

update was already completed early this morning. went surprisingly smooth.

was already completed when I first hopped on the forums for today like 7ish hours ago lol

 

now we just have to make some corrections/adjustments to our Orion themes which could take a bit of time since the main person that used to help maintain them isn't with Neowin anymore :(

I don't wish to tell you guys how to run the place buuuuut, don't you think sorting the themes out on a copy of the site might have been a good idea before doing the upgrade? ;)

 

This default skin is fugly...

IIRC, I think they do do this before they apply it to the regular Neowin site.

Dark Mode is broke in Forums, but the switch is visible in the articles. Any ideas?

 

the normal Orion theme is being fixed up first and then the alternate colors (darkside included) will get corrected

I don't even see the dark theme... Think they took it off to fix it...

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 :)

I see that, too. I'm on WaterFox 2020.07 (fork of FireFox)

Where's the edit button?

 

In IPB's genius they moved most post options including edit and report into the 3 dot menu in the upper right of the post...

I think we'll be bringing it back out of the menu shortly! It's mad they've hidden it away

it makes sense for mobile view but definitely not for desktop view

Why are there 2 report links? lol...

 

One next to quotes and one in the 3 dots menu?

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

This should be fixed now

    • All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....
    • It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.

    • There really isn't anything magical about the low latency profile, other OS's do this as well. All they're doing is using your CPUs boost clock options in a more smarter way.
    • So we shouldn't have the option because of people using their laptops on battery? OK? LOL
