Forum upgrade

[russellw]

Good morning

We have performed an upgrade this morning of the core forum software.

There are a few little things to tidy up (icons, templates) but most functions seem to be working as normal. The rest will be tidied up during the day.

The main changes that will impact users are:

Tapatalk integration (finally)

- a multi-quote system - turned on to replace our previous hack
- an infractions system - turned off as our current warning system is better
- the ability to automatically post threads and announcements from RSS feeds - turned off - an inline spam management & prevention system - turned on
- thread tagging and tag cloud - turned off temporarily
- thread prefixes - turned off
- reciprocal friendship between users - turned on
- public visitor messaging on user profile pages - turned off
- user picture albums - turned off as the gallery is better
- user-created social groups - turned off
- user-customisable profile pages - turned on for some user groups
- a lightbox viewer for images attached to posts - turned on
- post edit history - turned on
- a notices system - turned on as a replacement for the force read hack
- multiple human verification systems - turned on for unregistered
- images in sigs - turned on currently for DM's, Mods, Admins
- private message sorting and filtering options - turned on
- private message history - turned on
- a private message quick reply box - turned on
- private message throttling - turned on for some groups
- private message reporting - turned on
- profile privacy - turned on for some groups
- lightbox navigation - turned on
- thread prefix permissions - turned off
- dismissible notices - turned on

If you identify anything that you think is working incorrectly, please let us know in this thread.

Cheers
Russ
