Forum Upgrade complete.

[NickT]

Just letting you know that I've finally organised to upgrade the forum to the latest version with a cleaner look.

This will improve security making the site https and should offer a better all round experience.

You may see the site down for maintenance at some point.

Nice job. I know this is quite a bit more work than many know.

Exactly, which is why I've hired an SMF (Simple Machines Forums) guru to do the upgrade so I don't mess it up

[NickT]

Ok we are all updated I will have to go through and reset a few things so bear with me.

I'm afraid we have lost the old "likes" this was a custom mod that does not seem to be compatible with this latest version. "likes are now built in so you'll just have to like afresh

There is an issue currently with attachments not showing up, I am on it.

"unread messages since last visit"

Under QUICK LINKS.

Is it just me or images no longer show up in posts?

I was wondering why the page looked different..simple machines! Great. My link opened as usual, with unread posts.
Good job Nick

Thanks Patrick
Looks like attachments are back working too.

Also the site is now SSL

My profile image disappeared. I'm sure I had one. 😅🤔

[Patrick CM]

I added it easily enough

I'm afraid the avatars could not be brought across to the new version of the board software so you will have to re-upload (under your profile). Sorry for the inconvenience.
