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

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
