Site Update News / Any Problems?

Avatar

Hey guys,

The site will be going down at some point today while we complete the migration to our new servers.

This is the first step as we rebuild the site over the next few months. More on this soon.

Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Cheers,

BW team.

Guys, we are aware of a few problems today:

Missing icons on the forums, i.e., sticky thread icons.

Clicking into a thread page other than a thread with only one page, is bringing up an error message. We know what is causing this and it will be fixed shortly. The temporary fix for this is to put a / (slash) between the thread number and page number.
https://www.boardworld.com.au/forums/viewthread/17806P15/ should be https://www.boardworld.com.au/forums/viewthread/17806/P15/ EDIT: FIXED

Filesize limit with uploading photos. This will be fixed soon.

Other than the above, please let me know if you notice any other problems.

The new posts icon doesn’t appear to be working.

When I go to the homepage, it shows the little clock type icon suggesting no new posts but when I click on ‘view new posts’ I get results.

Working on this. We are missing some icons around the forums.

Looks like your avatar went missing too.

So here is the list of missing icons as I remember it:

Forums Home: Missing speech bubble icons representing new/read posts

Boardworld Social (for example): Missing pin icon (sticky posts), missing chart icon (poll threads), missing lock icon (closed threads).

Is there anything else I’m missing? Everything will be back to normal soon. A few things were missed during the migration.

Please let us know if you notice anything else. Thanks! grin

Missing avatars has now been fixed as well.

We are about to undertake a full rebuild of the website, which will be completed in stages over the next few months. We are really stoked with the new site and we hope you guys will be too!
