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

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

    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      I gave up on browser ad-blocking extensions a few years ago, replaced them with Adguard. Not perfect but overhaul is a nice app that does the job on both Windows and Android with the respective versions.

      "Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version" In my experience uBlock Origin Lite does the job for normal everday home users. When they kill that we get to watch Firefox and Brave get a boost in user market share.

      Block by DNS ad blocker! I dare you! I will even layer unlock Origin, on top of my internal DNS, if I need to and I don’t even block ads today (I really should but this type of behavior makes me angry). I suppose I could also just be lazy, and add the flags myself, back to each release (it wouldn’t be that difficult).

      Wonder what MPs have ties to these privacy/verification/data harvesting companies that are going to step in this time. Last time under the Tories half the cabinet had fingers in the pies, heck even the PM and his wife at the time was working for silicon valley, probably made a fortune.
