Forum Upgrade

[pyrat]

Feeds have new urls, so the old ones will not work.

Your feed readers should automagically find them if you pass the root forum url.

Let me know if there are any browser specific layout bugs and provide screenshots so I can quickly fix.

I'm reminded of the posts and conversations I have made recently about branding.

Nopesport had an brand/image that everyone recognised and when it changed it confused and upset people.
There are so many examples of when companies change their identity and the public protest, especially when the new look doesn't seem to represent/identify the company or product.

But as a fellow website builder I can understand the frustration of Pyrat when you are just trying to do your best and people bitch from the sidelines.

As a side note, the forum upgrade means I now get emails alerting me to replies to my posts, I had stopped getting them about 2 years ago!

Yeah had to do the redesign with one hand! Let me know if anyone is still experiencing the index.html issue.

'Fraid I am ... clicking "http://forum.nopesport.com/index.php?f=1" now no longer gives me a 404 error (an improvement!) but takes me to the Nopesport Forums page, rather than the Board index‹Nopesport Forums‹Discussion page, which it should do.

I can only get to the Discussions page by swapping "f=1" for "f=01" in the URL, as before. So, anyone else who is having the same problems will now find the Nopesport Forums page from their previously saved bookmark, but be unable to progress further. Those who don't have this problem will have no idea what I'm talking about

Ah!! Back to normal. Many thanks

Forum feed seems to be working smoothly again . Thanks for all the hard work you've put in on this upgrade; I hope it pays off in terms of the spam-wars!

Hadn't even noticed it had changed back - Yay no more flashing blobs!

No luck with that I'm afraid. Nothing magic about my feed reader I guess. Anyone have a url for an rss feed?

Discussion: feed.php?f=1
New topics: feed.php?mode=topics
News: feed.php?mode=news
Some browsers will have an RSS button that will automatically pick up any feeds available on the page, Safari and Firefox do, Chrome doesn't (on a Mac anyway).
