SITE UPGRADES STILL IN PROGRESS

[Roger Hicks]

Hi All,

We framework of our site software has been upgraded but there is a LOT of work that needs to be done over the next several days. I would have liked to relaunch having more completed but am out of gas. The basics of APUG should be operations. Known bugs will be:

Navigation not 100% completed
Problems with links area
some items no longer existing (many will be ported)
chatroom does not have a popup window yet (still the old chatroom for now)
new helpdesk and knowlege base needs work but the shell is in place
Sponsors page is not up yet
new posts are showing posts from all languages, can fix that later
reply with quote coding isn't working properly -fixed

Things to note right off would be your sidebar placement is now an option in your user preferences. Also, in your preferences "user options" you will find at the bottom the new forum visibility mode, simply highlight the forums you want to ignore and save. *update* forum visibility isn't working, will have to take a look tomorrow.

I'm sure I a missing quite a bit but just be patient over the next several days and everything will fall into place.

Thanks!
Sean

Dear Sean,

Anyone who appreciates the site -- and it's one of the finest sites on the web, one in a million or maybe a billion -- will be more than happy to forgive temporary glitches, even if they take many days to resolve.

It's frightening, doing this sort of thing, but it has to be worth it.

Cheers,

Roger

Great work Sean, I know the bugs will be fixed, so don't let the little things get to you. We will live with them until then.

I am very happy with the way APUG is going and the new upgrade looks great. I can't wait to have it all properly working!
I have had trouble uploading a jpeg photo as an attachment to a forum post and I get the gallery trouble the Banana mentioned.

I'm now having gallery problems as well. Strange because it was fine this morning (and presumably Sean is still asleep)

I wonder if there is a cache issue with FireFox? Oh well. Clicking on My Photos doesn't work anymore. And clicking on the thumbnails next to the "last commented on" quotes doesn't as well.

I've posted and edited a couple of times and everything seems good there.

Thanks,

Will

I seem to be having a problem with the gallery. When I click on a picture I get a sponsors link.

Same here, from SE USA and on IE. This, after logging out and back in.

I'll just be patient, since this appears to be a widespread issue at the moment.

Thought I'd chime in with the thanks to Sean, this looks great. Lately a number of sites I've enjoyed visiting have gone through upgrades and/or redesigns that have been changes for the worse (IMO), thank you thank you thank you for not doing the same with APUG!

The gallery doesn't work properly. When I select a picture, then most of the time I get linked to a Apug sponsor-site.

I hope this problem will soon be solved.
