Forum software upgrade on the way

Purely a semantic quibble, but ... the alerts give a message "so and so reacted to your message..." I'd prefer responded. Tranquilo, muchachos!

Reacted means they used a Like or another Reaction. I just got an alert for this post which says that you "quoted [my] post in the thread Forum software upgrade on the way". It's different again if someone mentions you by tagging you like this: @Dona Ferentes.

 
This new setup is far better and more interesting for me than the previous one which I always struggled with.
 
I decided to get rid of the thread starter avatar in the Recent Posts sidebar widget. It's not really relevant who started the thread, what's relevant is who posted last. I found that it was a little confusing to see the avatar of someone who hasn't been active on the forum for years show up in the Recent Posts widget.

I tried adjusting the styling of the widget last night but didn't have much success. I still think it needs a little more work. I think I preferred the layout of the old widget a little better, so I will probably get someone who is a little more proficient with CSS to adjust it further sometime in the near future.
 
Hi @Joe Blow

I have just bookmarked a couple of posts and went to look at my bookmark list and I only have those 2 in there. I have bookmarked a lot of posts over the duration and would still like to keep them from the old forum software, is that possible or are they gone??
 

They're not gone. The old software used a different bookmark system. I'm going to try and import the old bookmarks into the new system. Will give it a shot tonight. Fingers crossed.

Thanks Joe and yes I have my fingers crossed. No drinking until they're imported into the new system.

Thanks again Joe. Like everyone else, I appreciate the work you're putting in for us. ?
 
Hey @Joe Blow ..... I'm not particularly tech savvy, but have noticed the speed of uploading charts etc is way faster. Well done on that alone!

ps Smiley look less realistic perhaps, but not everyone likes Smiley like I do I guess

Please check your bookmarks now and let me know if the old bookmarks have been imported correctly.

Unfortunately, to do this I had to remove the three bookmarks that were already in the new system. There were two of yours and one that belonged to @Jacko17. So my apologies for that. I hope you remember which posts you recently bookmarked so you and @Jacko17 can both bookmark them again.

I hope that the import completed correctly.

Yes, I think the ASF is faster overall after the upgrade. The new software is based on a newer code base so it performs better across the board.

I'll see what I can do about the smilies, but can't make any promises.
 
Fantastic thanks Joe, all there. No worries about the 2 new ones, I know what they were so I'll add them in a little while. Thanks once again. ?
 
Hi Joe,

Can I just thank You for what You do and have done.
I am no tech geek but can appreciate the time and effort that goes into the running of a site like this, without the cost and the many hours you have spent on this upgrade.
I have not had time to look at all the changes you have made, but my screen appears to have been cleaned from within.

Thank you again for what you have created.

All the very best

bux

No problem. Just keep on posting great content to keep the site active, that's the most important thing. And link to ASF where you can to let others know about us.

The more active members ASF has and the more quality content we publish, the more successful we will be.
