Major forum upgrade soon

[Koolan]

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well. I know the forum had various issues ever since it was moved. Many members were understandably frustrated and some even left completely. The current version of the forum uses outdated code and doesn't receive any updates from the maker.

 

I'm happy to say that after doing a test upgrade with good results, we will upgrade the live forum to version 4 hopefully before the end of this week. I'll update once a date is set.

 

The new version will use your email address as your username. Please make sure that your email is up to date to avoid any issues with logging in. The new version is sleek and run more efficiently. I hope more members will return after the upgrade is complete with a fresh and modern look.

 

Big thanks to everyone for your contributions to the community and staying with us for over 20 years!

WOOOOOOW Koolan!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUUUUUUUUCH!!!!! Sorry for using all caps (I know it’s like shouting, but reading all this and seeing that you’ve come back to the forum really excited me!! ) If you needed help fixing the forum, as I mentioned to TSHWL, I could help you in any way I’m able to. I’m a computer enthusiast.

Forum looks great!

The upgrade is complete. Thanks to Thomas for the new banner! Forum will load slower while the rebuild of old posts are running in the background. Some older posts may not show up correctly. This entire process can take a few days to complete.

As this is a major upgrade with many improvements and features, some things may not work properly yet. I'm still learning and discovering new functions and changes.

Here are some of the issues:

Search function won't work until the rebuild of posts is complete.

No need for Tapatalk now that the forum is PWA compatible and works really well with mobile phones and tablets. It loses a lot of functionality compared to using the forum in a normal browser. Plus, they charge owners to pay to upload files to their servers.
