BC Forums upgraded...

***kwun*** · 03-07-2006, 05:38 AM

Hey everybody,

i just upgraded the forum software to the latest version.

the upgrade wasn't the simpliest and there are quite a bit of changes. things are in general working right now. however, there are a list of things that i need to fix.

please let me know if there are other things that you found to be broken. i will get to them as soon as i can...

cheers.

The interface looks more defined and "editing posts" is easier to use!

Yea, i agree.

The message about taking out a silk cloth to wipe off the shuttle marks from the racquet is always amusing to see. Is that the next level up, beyond a simple badminton enthusiast?

The Quote button looks like it has bigger font...

Nothing wrong with the old one. But the new one looks better. I like the additional info about where the thread is located. Thanks for the great work.

kwun, fortunately you stated its an "upgrade" not changing to newer version of software....otherwise I oppose

cuz I dun like change !!! IBF should state the 21 scoring system is an "upgrade" rather than a change

...sorry off topic here, I shut up.....

The only change I notice is the line width is thicker, and the font seems to be nicer...I have not paid attention to other areas. In any case, thanks for keeping the site running so smoothly and so professionally !!!

the "upgrade" is really mostly behind the scene stuff. now it is even easier to moderate posts (*cough* *cough*

), that will make our overworked moderators life much easier; and easier to add new functionality to the forum; and also there are some security fixes...

bear with me as there are still a few more things work iron out...

I like this new layout.

**silentheart** · 03-07-2006, 03:50 PM

I am having problem sorting from most recent post to old post...

Um....

I hate to bring bad news, but none of the formatting buttons work in Firefox (1.5).

Every posting control (bold, image, link...) is inactive. They show no hover recognition of the mouse and do not respond in any way to mouse clicks.

Not a good upgrade for us Firefox users

Gollum,

can you post a screen capture...

coz it is working here with FF1.5...

Kwun, Thanks for all the efforts. The upload time and post time in the equipment reviews did not show the part of date, only the time (hh:mm). Is that easy to fix? If not, no worries. Just leave it as is. -SC

In the image below, you can see the tooltip text "italic", indicating that the mouse pointer is hovering over the button. But no "button active" state is visible (and, in fact, I am unable to press the button, but you can't see that!).

I'm running Firefox 1.5.0.1
