Good day,

We return the modifications temp after the update, I will replace them soon with more modern and customization than before.

Templates I need to delay them more before I start modifying them back again.

Speed will improve for sure later on, as we really update the server-php-mysql-forum all at once, so sure something need to be optimize and we are working on it.

Thanks all.

My best

An (at least temporary) alternative for getting a list of all recent changes in all forums is menu: Activity >> All Activity (for those who don't know)

This view is loading as fast as usual. 

I had used activity streams before and even had saved a couple I customized. But then the single click "Fluid" mode on the home page was simple enough that I forgot about the others. Now the "Temp Fluid" stream I've created as a workaround is growing on me and I might even stick with it.

Good day,

As we did cleanup and remove the edit form our templates, within these tasks the "Member Title" table-column removed from the db.

You can easily add back by edit your profile if you wanted back.

What is member title? As I add it back just to show you, it the title under your user name, in my case it is: Super-Tester.

@darkassassin07 Yes, the problem here what we used as a modify, do not work well with latest build we did some months ago.

Please give me time to solve this, and indeed it sucks as it is now, sorry buddy.

Hey @Abobader, you still looking into this problem? I still quite regularly run into unreadable content on this forum....

 

[Abobader 3464]

Hi @darkassassin07

The problem with above example is:

 

When a user chose background/foreground color, that will happens.

Can that option be removed?
 

[Neminem 1518]

Yes please, if ppl paste from a translator or word etc please make sure it inserted as plain text.

Plain text inset option is almost always ignored.

[darkassassin07 652]

I don't think users are deliberately choosing background colours. I think they are being automatically set when copy-pasting text.

 

Background colours should be stripped from posts imo.

[Abobader 3464]

Good day,

The problem with the forum software we used, it use old editor, thing will change with the next major update one.

I will high consider your request regarding the editor matters.

Thanks.

[Abobader 3464]

Font color & source options is now remove from the editor toolbars .

[GrimReaper 4739]

Well, you can never make everyone happy - I, for one, am quite unhappy with font color removal and slightly unhappy with source removal.

We sure do not want that, I restore it back.

I will think on another way that not effected this. Our goal to make everything work as it should, dark themes are important, so I need time to fix this, thanks all.

[Abobader 3464]

Good day,

We at the moment doing some cleaning for some attachments, like logs, zip/rar files, we need to reduce the huge amount for the storage space been taking by the these.

Thanks.

Maybe the log files should be automagically deleted after a month or two. By that time any real usefulness from log attachments would be effectively nil as, most of the time, the server would have jumped a version or three.

It's those 0.1% of cases where it's extremely useful to have older log files for comparison.

Something like 3 years would be fine, though IMO.

When wil we have the new editor version? Then I can look into creating an editor-plugin for cleaning up colors. Since I've already created one (for the ## links), it should go quickly.

Then make it 3 years if that is the best that can be done. However, if it must be longer than a few months there is little need to go back as far as 3 years. I think a max duration of 1.5 years would make a good compromise but, it seems to me that anything over one year is vast overkill. 

But I neither run this site or have any direct impact here. I just wish to try and make semi-intelligent suggestions.

"semi-intelligent" is a good description for these two sentences, LOL

Sorry, I didn't mean to be insulting at all. I just repeated your own phrase.

I failed to see any logic in these sentences, that's why I just meant to confirm your own assessment of your suggestion, that' s all. Not meant to be unfriendly.

I meant to say that - from past experience - a minumum of 3 years retention is needed for development purposes. For example

• In case of regressions
  User says "it has worked before". Having older logs allows to check whether that's really true or whether it's been a different case
• Feature Implementation
  Often, long-standing issues are implemented after quite some time. For that, it's useful to be able to view the original logs that are showing the case it was actually about
• Late Fixes
  Not everything gets fixes in-time. Sometimes it's months later that we get to it
• etc.

Every one in a while it happens that I'm looking at older log files and each time I'm glad that they are still there.

@Gilgamesh_48-  Apologies again!
