Forum Upgraded

#1 Post by PyTom »

I've upgraded the forum server and software, for the first time in embarrassingly long. We're now on the latest long-term-stable version of Ubuntu, and the latest version of of PhpBB.

Because of the big jump, we've lost some of the styling we've had. I'll be working on those tomorrow. There are also some other issues - for example, I see some smilies are missing. If you see other problems with the forum, report them here and I'll do my best to fix them.

Sorry about the downtime last night, which was completely unrelated to these upgrades.

I've gone through and made a few changes to the styling, both restoring some of the changes I'd made in the past (limited width, the links and death clock up top, and the rules around posting), and increasing the forum's font size slightly, as I'm getting old and think that needed to happen.

The good news is that the Lemma Soft Forum is now in a good place when it comes to technology. I'm thinking what's up next is possibly to grow the forum moderation team. So if you've been here for over a year and are interested, let me know.

Also, 16,000th post. :)

Just added the doc bbcode tag, which tries to link to a function, class, or variable in the Ren'Py documentation. For example:

MainMenu
renpy.get_filename_line
config.mouse

is created by the bbcode:

Code: Select all

[doc]MainMenu[/doc]
[doc]renpy.get_filename_line[/doc]
[doc]config.mouse[/doc]

EDIT: Something broke. I'll fix this later.
EDIT x2: Fixed.
