UPGRADES!!!

Postby chrooke » Fri Sep 11, 2009 11:27 pm

In grand MacIDOL tradition I have performed two major upgrades, without bothering to warn anybody, and without any kind of testing or pre-skinning.

phpBB (forum) software is now at the latest version. We were back one major rev, that stopped even being supported at least a year ago, so I really had to upgrade this for our own security.

Jamroom has moved from version 3 to 4. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what this does for us, but I'm determined not to fall into the trap we hit a few years back, when Jamroom got too far ahead that the upgrade was REALLY ugly.

Before too long I'll reskin where needed so things look more or less like they used to. If anyone wants to help with this, let me know.

These upgrades are GUARANTEED TO BREAK THINGS! I'll start a thread in site bugs and wish lists so you all can report problems.

I LOVE the iPhone skin on the forums!
If it can be imagined, there is already porn based on it.

I love this look too! Maybe it shouldn't look like it used to. Personally I like it when things change.

I like it too! But posts in the home page have totally stopped!
Then links or embed codes don't work. I know there's still to work but at least these (maybe insignificant?) things must work. :(

I try now with a embed code:
Code: Select all
<a href="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=63082641">The Falling Sky</a><br/><object width="425px" height="360px" ><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/><param name="movie" value="http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/embed.aspx/m=63082641,t=1,mt=video"/><embed src="http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/embed.aspx/m=63082641,t=1,mt=video" width="425" height="360" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed></object>
