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

    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates

      By Gus. · Posted

      You can use MCT to create an updated ISO and then use Rufus to create the bootable USB.
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
