Board Software Updated

Post by RubiconCSL »

Hi y'all. I've just updated the board Software. I'm seeing a number of pages freezing in chrome and safari on my macbook. Is anyone else having any problems? It seems fine on my android phone so far.

Thanks. I'm guessing it must be one of the addons/extensions I've got installed. But, at least it's not causing everyone problems :)

Probably me messing around! Is it okay again now?

This software (phpBB), whilst free, is not a simple case of pressing a button to upgrade. It's really very manual. It's not just the main software, but then having to keep an eye on all of the style/theme code and extension code e.g. the like button, social media share button etc., which have to work with any main software update and don't even warn you they are out of sync unless you manually go and look.

If Wordpress had a decent bulletin board, with even half of the functionality phpBB has AND I could easily migrate the existing data on here, I'd jump at it. I have had a few goes, but it's very painful unless I pay someone to do it!

Anyhow, all software is now the latest version, so hopefully it's working now. If you still have any problems, try clearing your browser cache, in case it's something in there. But do let me know if there are any issues.

Rubi. Any chance of increasing the limits on image uploads? 256k makes it very restrictive.
