Forum Upgrade February 9, 2023

Post by Kip »

The Forum will be doing a software upgrade on Thursday February 9, 2023. The forum will be down from approximately 12:00-18:00 GMT (7:00 AM-1:00 pm EST). We expect it to be much quicker, but a 6 hour window provides contingency for any issues. We suspect it may only take 2-3 hours. We are making every preparation possible to insure that this goes as smoothly and quickly as possible.

The forum will remain online and reachable during this time to regular visitors and forum members but will solely display a “Scheduled Maintenance” type message, navigation any further will not be possible.

Tapatalk functionality will be unavailable to all and sundry this time around and probably see error message “Forum unreachable”, “Server down” or some other doomsday type message you can ignore.

Thank you for your patience during this upgrade.

Did this upgrade include any fixes?

The mis-match of topic and name in Board Index/For Sale and WTB is still present, as far as I can see.

Was that awful bird on the Forum heading before upgrade?

Mainly because it seems to focus on it as the actual time dial is almost hidden.

It’s freaking me out!!

The header looks different that’s all.

^^^ New header with the new forum logo and the most significant watch that CW have released :D

Albeit difficult to read the time on the Bel Canto.

I never pay attention to the banner at the top of the forum. I bookmark the Unread Posts page and my focus is just on them, not what's above.

I am now trying to work out the partly obscured models to the left and right of the BC…

C7 Apex LE on the left and C60 Concept on the right?

. . . . . . . .
48x Bug Fixes, 32x Improvements, 7x Tasks, 4x Security Updates implemented plus several of our, this forum's issues solved.

i.e. The Sales Corner is now visible to users on Tapatalk.

In the Unread posts list, the 'click the red letter' to go to your latest unread post has been fixed.


Sadly not all the hoped for fixes have been able to be implemented.

Indeed the anomaly remains; if you're looking at the 'Sales Corner'.

If however, you go into each sub-forum (Christopher Ward, Other Brands and eBay/Auction) the forum / post title is correct

A work in progress. :oops: :oops:
