Re: Is anybody out there ?????
I updated the forum software to the latest version to keep up with the latest software updates. I haven't had time to do anything with the standard template and there aren't many available to download yet with the software being so new.Hagar wrote:whats happened to the page layout, you decided on a change or had the shillin run oot on the meter
One good thing about the template is that it seems to work well on mobile devices without having to use the likes of Tapatalk which removes another potential security risk.
I just wanted to make sure that everyone could still access the site since the update!

It was installed but I personally didn't use it. It is just one other thing to keep up to date that takes time and effort.R2D2 wrote:Do I take it you don't have tapatalk installed on the forum ?

Re: Is anybody out there ?????
Having said all that, I've downloaded the latest version of tapatalk that works with phpBB3 3.1 and the latest forum software makes it a piece of piss to integrate tapatalk so can someone confirm if it is back up and running?Big Kneed Al (master of the emergency stop & "stand up" comedian) wrote:It was installed but I personally didn't use it.

Re: Is anybody out there ?????
I'd say 70% of our members read via tapatalk now, and may well be the reason for things being quieter on here. i.e. everyone uses their fones now to surf the net, and with facebook around many biking forums have died of death, we've been very lucky to maintain a high level of activity but its been through endevour and implementing a few things, at a cost.

Re: Is anybody out there ?????
Will the forum return to the old version?
There are a few features not available in the current rendition that I would love to see back again some day

Re: Is anybody out there ?????
What features are missing?
I haven't had time to get up to speed with the latest template structure for phpBB 3.1 yet. The main thing was to migrate the forum to the latest version to keep up with the security fixes.

Re: Is anybody out there ?????
Main feature for me was the button to view only new or current posts instead of having to shift around the board indexes??
Or am I being stupid and missing it?

Pop in and have a wee read at least 2x a week.
Maybe try and get a bit more of a run with some of you this year.
