This thread here will keep track of any minor updates or features we change/update/remove on the forum so you can keep in the know with whats going on.
You're welcome to comment here and give feedback or ask questions about any new features or changes.
Friday 27th August - NEW
- Removed shoutbox due to a reported security incident on another forum using the shoutbox, and the modification no longer being maintained, thus phpBB issuing a "do not use and remove" recommendation for the mod. We'll look into replacing it with another similar function if available.
- We've updated our Facebook integration behind the scenes
- New Facebook 'Like' options on public threads at the bottom of each thread
- Began tidy up of forum graphics to transition into line with the new look TowersTimes.
- Reordered the post edit/quote/rep buttons
- Removed old site menu and old forum menu
- Added new menu code using base code from new site
- Added new "profile card" to replace clunky old menu. This "card" will be seen across the whole of the new site, and not just forums.
- Refined template code again, removing bulk not needed, removed old Javascript frameworks and code snippets not used
- Retired the old scrolling news ticker at the bottom of the page again as it used old JavaScript framework and was resource consuming
You'll find:
- Chat - on the main site menu for now
- Inbox - under your name on your profile card, along with new message count
- Profile - under your name again, or click your name or avatar
- Logout - under your name again
- Search - there's a new big search button on the end of the main menu, under profile card
- FAQ - pointless page that's never looked at, so removed
- RSS Feeds - temporarily retired due to lack of use and out of date code. Will look to reinstating in near future in a new location
The team can find their CP links also underneath the main links on their profile cards.
We are still testing everything out as much as possible, so if you notice any oddities please report them to us in this thread.
Thanks guys!
Joel
