phpbb 3.2 upgrade!

[hellboy]

After a few hiccups with the upgrade scripts, I've upgraded the forum to the latest and greatest version of php. There seem to be a bunch of changes, and no doubt some features are missing. I'm not going to actively try and re-add the features from the old forum (partially because I can't remember what ones I installed).

My suggestion is that if there's something the updated site doesn't do, and you want it to, let me know below and I'll look into enabling it!

Feedback is always welcome!

The new mobile site is cool. I wish it had the unread posts list though.

[UndKeineZwEier]

Never mind, I found it.

[hellboy]

I does, just hidden behind a menu "Quick links"

I'm glad I can finally delete Tapatalk.

I haven't bothered re-installing the tapatalk extension. If anyone really wants it, let me know!

WOW! Lookin good HB! I used tapatalk probably more than i used the desktop version of the site. But if the mobile version of the site is good then i can just use it.

Yep good shit hb

So fourtheye only get updated literally hours after the signed declaration between America & North Korea?

Hmmmmm

[hellboy]

I've added a couple of extensions this evening.

The first one to give us a slightly fancier post editor - click that Full Editor & Preview button

Second one is a media embed code. It's the icon that looks like a film strip in the editor, or you can wrap in media tags like below:

Code: Select all

[media]some-url-to-a-media-site-like-youtube[/media]

I haven't really tested it it yet, so give it a go!

Nice liking the update!

[UndKeineZwEier]

The ads are kind of intrusive, at least on mobile.

Also I don't think I'm supposed to be seeing ads.

[tys0n]

I see no ads, but that notification symbol is obnoxious.

[Busty McCracken]

Yeah but you're obnoxious and we tolerate you bro

[hellboy]

Thanks for the feedback - I'll dial back the ads.

What notification symbol do you refer to tyson?

[hellboy]

Update: I've removed a few of the ad locations, and blocked them for Gold/Silver/Bronze members

[tys0n]

Thanks for the feedback - I'll dial back the ads.

What notification symbol do you refer to tyson?

Anytime someone quotes your posts it pops up

You mean the actual symbol, or that you get a notification at all? What's so obnoxious about the little bell?

[tys0n]

The big pink one



Ugh, terrible

Edit: Edit notifications options fixed that issue!

[hellboy]

Right. Well that might change if and when I get around to updating the board style.

[hellboy]

I've made some further tweaks to the ad settings. I won't be removing them entirely (though if you are Gold, Silver, Bronze or VIP member you shouldn't see them). Very open to feedback as to what is too many ads (apart from the obvious answer of none).

Google Adsense revenue more or less covers the costs of hosting Fourtheye, so please consider supporting this initiative as best you can.

[hellboy]

Well, that was annoying - fuck Tapatalk, it ain't getting installed again (sorry Kittaan)

[Kittaan]

No worries. This is fine. Thanks for testing it though.

[hellboy]

Advance notice: the forum is going to get an upgrade to phpbb 3.2.5 sometime in the next 24 hours. The site will likely be down during this time.
