I will be upgrading the forum to the latest Vbulletin version in about 5 minutes. As always, this should be a painless process and the forum should only be switched off for about 10 minutes, but if there are any problems I will post on the Facebook page.

Thanks :)

Upgrade finished! As always, there may be conflicts with the old plugins and the new software, although I did upgrade all the plugins to their latest version first to try and keep any problems to a minimum, however if you come across a glitch, please post a reply to this thread, or use the contact form (http://www.tenerifeforum.org/tenerife-forum/content.php?150-Tenerife-Forum-Contact-Form). :)

I canīt get rid of the sidebar. I click to expanded view, then when I change to next page it reverts back so I see all the stuff down the side (currency converter / radio etc) click to remove read thread then back to what's new - back to half screen of thread half screen of crud.

Thank you, the sidebar issue has been noted and I'm looking into it, so it does not need to be reported by anyone else. :)

If there are any other issues, then it would be useful to know what they are too.

Thanks

The sidebar should now be fixed. I take it by the lack of other reports, everything else is working ok...?

I have noticed that some threads there is no "Edit" button? Can that be fixed please? I noticed balcony also mentions this but on another thread:confused:

Primrose :

a) you only have to report things once, and
b) things cannot be done instantly. Deal with it for now, as it's not stopping you post is it? ??? We all have jobs too, so things get attended to when they can.

Thanks :)

Can you post a link to an example thread, as I can see the edit button and without an example, there's no way of fixing it :)

so is this new then ?

so is this new then ?Yes, though it did used to happen on VB3 too. In the early days. It looks like it's been reintroduced.

EDIT > I have to prepare lessons for my classes today, so I'm logging off now. I'm sure someone will read this thread and attend to things as and when they have time, as I will when I get a moment.

Perhaps it would have been easier to acknowledge the posts that people had made reporting faults, as Starling said she had no reply when she reported it. How are we supposed to know you have even seen it if you don't reply.You have just come on and had a go at me when all you needed to do was say the matter is being dealt with.

I cannot Edit on this thread Kirsty. The only buttons that appear is reply/reply with quote/Multi quote and Top buttons!

Is the old forum still going to be merged with this one?
Sorry if off topic, just wondered.

Is the old forum still going to be merged with this one?
Sorry if off topic, just wondered.No, it's not. It will remain where it is, as a reference source, and if you have PMs you can enter and download them with your old login details, but it's too big a job to merge the two and there's enough on our plates just keeping up with the updates and invariable problems each time there is one, to think about merging the two databases.

We discussed it and the general concensus on the mod team was that a lot of the old threads were out of date anyway, the info posted on the new forum would be more up to date, and our time could be better spent concentrating on keeping the new database working better than trying to tackle all the old bugs too.


On another note...

I've just implemented a couple of things that should fix the arcade scores problem and the sidebar issue. Although the sidebar will still have the blue band momentarily due to the fact that it's the CSS files loading that causes this, I have changed the way the CSS is stored so that it will load quicker, so hopefully it will mean that the blue bar is only there for a split second and therefore hardly noticeable. It's the best I can do without disabling it at present, and as there are revenue based tools in it, that's not an option.

RE the Arcade : Scores should hopefully be saving now. I have just tried it out myself and it worked for me. Can others confirm if it is or not. I would prefer not to have to uninstall and reinstall it!

Thanks :)
