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.

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!

Do I take it you don't have tapatalk installed on the forum ?

Good work Big Kneed Al (master of the emergency stop & "stand up" comedian)

Appreciate you spending time to keep the site running

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.

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?

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.

Yes, I'm using Tapatalk. Only loss I've noticed is smilies / icons are now missing. Nowt major!

This is one of the best forums I'm on not including the homebrewers forums which seem constantly busy

I'm still about I can't believe it's not butter!

You'd think folk would learn! Haha

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

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.

Ah but isn't that the same with all "upgrades" you loose the bits that were useful (or worked)

was into town on wed night on the bike, but otherwise even when it's nice it gets awfully frostry quite quickly out here in westhill

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?

at the top of the page left hand side there is something called "Quick links" its above the board index and to the left of FAQ click this and it gives you what you are looking for (just tried it on my Paranoid phone and its there as well.)

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.
