I don't recall a night mode being added, unless I've missed something that the forum software has done?

Just browsing through my old PMs and no matter which one it is and what page I move to, it's awfully slow on mobile devices no matter if I'm connected to wifi or not. The search function on the messenger is so slow that I've been caught with 504 gateway timeouts. 

Yeah, that'll likely be down to it attempting to search the full table as apposed to searching a special index. Unfortunately the same with everything else, those are pending to be rebuilt. If it's still slow in a few days, ping me again and I'll take a look at it.

@Lavo

Well Feld0 said to me that he had something like it, so maybe talk to him?

Brohoof notifications are showing up as "liked". Is there a way to fix that?

[Sphinx-Ara 3,517]

There's some sort of issue with the avatars on the mobile version. For me, it shows as my second last avatar but when i go to my profile to say change it and i click on my avatar it shows up as mu current one in the preview.

[Twilight-Shimmer 151]

The title should say it all. Ever since the update tot eh site, I have not been able to track the place I have posted in. Used to be even if I havent followed a tread I could still tell when a tread I have posted in had an update. So when I tried clicking Content I have posted in, the tab comes up totally empty even after posting after the update

It would be cool if they can replace the heart symbol animation for a horseshoe... 

[Hypn0ticD 1,213]

Found another bug. The words in quotes are being counted towards your post, though you didn't say them... 

EDIT: I also ran into this when I click on the forum FAQ:

Adding issue

[Jeric 46,835]

Not sure if configuration issue or if they made some changes to IP.Blog, but I went in to fix some of the formatting issues in my blogs due to the upgrade, and noticed that editing a blog now surfaces it to the top of the blog side bar (previously this was done only if you drafted and republished). I'm not sure if there is another way of going about a simple edit without making it surface to the top again.

Also this may serve as a FYI to staff, since drafting and republishing this was frowned upon in the past, but now it is the system doing it.  

[Fhaolan 4,468]

Yes, posting statistics are all borked until the background process still doing the upgrade is done. It the test environment it took about three days to grind through everything, but that was with the test forums effectively shut off so nobody was adding more data to the system. Not sure how long this will take with the site being live and still in use.

[Jeric 46,835]

Do calendar event creation permissions exist for members anymore? I can imagine permissions were rejiggled a bit, so hopefully this is something that can come back. 

Also, do you still have the separate Episode calendar still?

[PinkiePie97 913]

I don't know if this is related to the upgrade, but I haven't gotten e-mail notifications for a few hours. I checked and that setting wasn't somehow switched off and the e-mails weren't going to spam either. I forget exactly when I got my last e-mail from here, but it was sometime between 2 and 3 P.M. EST.

thought I'd throw this here.. different name as it refreshes and the bug with the topics on the top..

[Storm 199]

Yay we get to see the topics we've posted in again. But most of the threads that are under that are ones I've never posted on. 2 of them that I've checked I can't even access.

They'll be back in 2 or so days when the system finishes churning through the upgrade.

Yeah, I re-added the old thing we had, but that is all sorts of buggy right now so I've ended up removing it again until it can be sorted out. Apologies. 

[Storm 199]

@Lavo

Ah no worries. I'm glad it's possible to add it back though!

And thank you and the others for working hard to help everyone get use to this update^^

Minimum Character Limits not functioning properly.

Minimum Character Limits is counting symbols and punctuations as characters.

 

As someone who's learned his lesson about the minimums, I'm getting paranoid about having more warnings due to stuff beyond my control.

Currently there is no native night mode. The background image changes at night, but text and the text field are static. There are browser extensions and plug-ins that may give you this function for now. YMMV.
