Okay, so the server upgrade has been successful and we are now working on updating the phpBB software that powers the forum.
So far all is looking good in our test environment but it will take more time and lots more tests before we deploy it here.
I’m looking to add the following 2 key features;
1. Multiple image upload into posts
2. Auto resize of images

If you have any suggestions for anything else you’d like to see please post them in this thread or send me a PM.

Regards, Steven

You're most welcome.

Currently trying to get a drag and drop feature working to upload MULTIPLE images at the one time by simply dragging the images into this text box :fc:

Could you make the page number and next button bigger?
I use my phone and the combination of fat fingers cracked screens makes it frustrating sometimes.
Not a big deal Just a suggestion if it’s simple.

Hello Steven,

Great to have the forum back.
Thanks for the hard work over the past few days / years.

Did you have success with the upgrades?

Hey Steven,

Yep, thanks for all your hard work here.

Indeed all the work that goes on by volunteers in the background - whether that be site maintenance, maintaining the mob, competitions, adding functionality - it is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Mark

Morning all,

Apologies for the site being down yesterday. We encountered some issues with the server during the upgrade and it had to be wiped and rebuilt.

Now that the server upgrade is complete we will proceed with updating the forum software in the near future. Any further downtime should be minimal.

Regards,
Steven

Hi Steven,

Sorry to bother you, but for some reason after the upgrade it has not given permission to see photos linked to our gallery.

example:
viewtopic.php?f=56&t=23847
viewtopic.php?f=69&t=23843

I was going to update some of the progression threads, but it appears to be giving errors.

Kind regards,
Rory
