Forum Upgrade Went Smoothly

[anthony]

I have upgraded the board to the latest version, and then done some more fine tuning on the forum itself. Everything went very smoothly, no issues at all this time round. You will notice subtle differences, ie. post in advanced mode and you can't change font sizes, types or colours, and many other little things. Inline editing and posting is now faster again. You can now multiquote up to five posts in one thread, for ease of replying at the time, and lots more.

Many of the great additions will be noticed by editing staff, as the editing side of things got a whole lot easier again with this upgrade. More AJAX technology incorporated to speed up inline editing without having to load new pages, as everything just edits and reloads the same page, not new pages, then back to the original. Much speedier...
