Forum upgrade

Post by Lorphos »

The forum now runs phpBB 3.3, that means it will look better on mobile and because it's running on a different server, it should also be faster.

Do you notice the difference?

I also increased the video size for the youtube tag to 900 pixels wide because the new theme uses more of the available width.

Fixed the search!

I improved the "dolph" stlye on mobile so now it shows a small version of the logo at the top. Check it out.

Also I noticed an issue with images from twitter now showing when viewed in Firefox. I've added some mitigation but when you have Firefox configured to "strict" privacy settings, it will still block those images.

The solution is to click on the shield icon in your browser address bar and disable enhanced tracking protection for this website only.

We're not tracking you anyway. :P :idea: 8)

I noticed the sprite avatars were missing, I copied them over from the old site so they work again.

I upgraded the forum to phpBB 3.3.17 (a security update).

Also enabled URL rewriting for slightly nicer URLs.

And I noticed some smilies were missing. :D :( etc
