Forum Upgraded

[phil83]

@hek Thanks a lot for helping. There also seems to be an issue with uploading pictures, they only show up as a link.

[hek]

I'm on it.

The pictures end up on server but linking becomes corrupt.

Uploads working again.

Created a new button in composer to help people insert code into their posts.

@hek. Nice! A side benefit of the upgrade seems to a noticeable performance improvement.

[AWI]

@hek great, this will certainly improve readability on the forum, thanks

The user "badges" has disappeared since upgrade. The will be back when the root cause has been found.

[hek]

Ok, badges has to be activated by the user himself/herself by going into settings and activate it here:

Hacked the badges back.

@hek I no longer seem to be getting the daily email digests. I now get emails when replies are made to topics I'm subscribed to though, which is cool. I double checked my settings and everything appears to be correct:

Just to be sure I changed to daily and saved again but that didn't seem to help. This isn't super urgent or anything but I just wanted to let you know.

Thanks,

Pete

@petewill

Thanks pete. Will take it with the nodebb team.

Has anyone tested posting codebender sketches since the update? It used to read the link and just show the sketch and it does not appear to be working.

NM it works it just doesn't show in the preview anymore.

This a test posting

Ok, this morning (europe) the forum server was massively overloaded.

Tried restarting it but that resulted in a flood of requests from the 300 open browsers trying to reconnect their websockets. The current server just couldn't handle it.

So I upgraded the droplet to a new plan doubling the amount of RAM and cores. I hope this will keep us above the surface for some time.

Forum has been updated and theme has been changed.

For some reason I had to do a browser cache cleanup to get page rendering ok again.

Please report any bugs you've seen here. Found one myself when trying to search users but it is way after bedtime here so I'll have to deal with it tomorrow.

Forum updated again!

4 months is a long time for a relatively long update cycle for a new forum software under development.

Please report any bugs here or send me an email.

The forum works on windows phone again :D jee!
