May 20 2019 Forum Update Thread

[Dev]

Evening, y'all!

 

We've had a forum version upgrade pending for a while now.  This evening, we got the infrastructure upgrade we need to handle it, so I'll be installing it momentarily.  As those who have been around will know and those who are newer will likely find out, major forum upgrades often come with surprise bugs.  If you run into anything that doesn't work as expected, please let me know in a comment on this post and I'll poke it with a stick.

Its not a bug, its a feature!

My "mark all read" button is only working to where it asks me if I want to mark all read.  The it quits.

I tried this, just to test things, and it worked fine. Oops

In the "Who was online" list at the bottom of the page, the staff's names are not showing the designated colors.

I'm having the same issue.

Re: Zero replies widget - that's functioning as intended.  The "zero replies" widget is only set to pull posts from sections of the forum where a technical issue or someone in emotional distress might logically post.

 

Re: Who was online - that'll be a problem with the plugin compatibility with the new version.  It'll stay that way until its developer updates it.

 

Re: Mark all as read - @VickySGV and @MaryEllen, could you run it again when you next have unread posts?  I just ran it and while it didn't give the confirmation message we're used to, it did mark everything read for me.  Could you confirm whether that's the case for you as well?

The mark all as read feature worked for me but I did have to hit the refresh button

Here's what happened this time:  It did change the bold captions on the posts I had not read to normal fonts.  It did not collapse the menu list as it used to.  My going back and clicking on the "unread content" link at that point did collapse the list and tell me no more unread posts.

Yes, that's what happens for me also.

It appears that guests can now post with moderator approval

Not anymore.  I knew they were adding that function, but they failed to mention it would be turned on by default.  I just turned it right back off.

It is still not refreshing the Unread Posts panel when you click on the Mark All Read sequence.
