Sorry if you got caught in the upgrade

Postby calisota » Thu Oct 29, 2015 4:26 pm

My sincere apology if you got caught in the upgrade. As these things are want to be it did not go smoothly and much hair was lost.

But we now have the latest and greatest version of the software running.

You may also get caught in me experimenting with the look of the forum. The one I have at the moment is a bit dark but because it was such a jump in version numbers there are not so many themes to choose from at the moment.

OK, reasonably happy with this look, might stick with it for a while, until something better comes along.

Any comments?

Anything you'd like to see?

I'm happy with this look. As long as I can navigate around and read messages, then all is well :)

Hi Greg - one thing a lot of us have noticed about the new forum is that it renders poorly on smaller devices such as mobile phones. It seems to squeeze the text into a narrow window.

Is there anything that can be done about that? I've noticed recently that some forums have a secondary look when accessed using a mobile device to avoid rendering issues from the main site, so I'm not sure if phpBB offers a solution like that.

I noticed that on my phone when I was testing it but when I turned my phone landscape rather than portrait it's a lot better.

The problem at the moment is that this is such a new and big upgrade for the forum software that there are only a handful of themes available. I'll revisit the look in the future.

Actually, can you give me a link to a forum or two that render better on phones? Just so I can research.

I've just slipped out for Sunday brunch but I'm still pondering this. Have an idea but I'll need to get home and onto my laptop to try it out.

Back from breakfast...

With this view...

The idea I had doesn't look like it's going to work. I'll need to look for another theme. It's because this one has a fixed width and I'll need to find one with a fluid width.
