Here's the latest on the Forum upgrade... Report problems here

[Jeffrey99]

OK... So the engineer found out that the notifications (up at the top of the nav bar) are the main culprit to the slow downs and the forums should be very speedy for everyone now, including those that were getting 1 to 2 minute load times.

For now, to see if you have any notifications, you'll have to click in the area up at the top. Ya, it's annoying, but that's the fix for now. It's a VB6 issue, but we are looking into a way around it.

Site is moving much faster for me. Even with multiple tabs open. Still can't upload a avatar but not a huge deal.

1. Is anything being done to stop the airlines spam post & other spam post in all the fourms??? I cant find the topics Im looking for Because of it.

& yes I agree with the poster above the site is loading alot faster now & the fourms dont look so cluttered on mobile now.

Speeds definitely improved now. for me, updating Avatar and attaching photos to post haven't seem to be working. for the picture, may just have to play with it to find the method, used to just upload into the post.

Forums running super quick. Thank you for the continued hard work to get the new forums up and running.

No no, the avatar is something we're hitting next once the speeds are comfy again. The attaching photos to posts should work though, let me know how you're trying to do it if you're having issues, it's technically much easier to do now.

They're either testing something on the back end or our flight-loving spam friends are evolving their attacks.

Haha oh no, I hope I didn't ban Steve by accident when deleting 800 threads earlier. I don't see how I would have but epic if I did.

(Okay I lifted his ban, and yes, I did ban him haha.)

Legendary moment in OS history: the day when Chase banned Steve

[countryboy]

This will rank up there with the time TJ crashed into the ocean

I'll let this one slide...

[kibaxx7]

The speed has definitely improved, for sure. Please get those posts back

[BurghFan]

But I never got to ban Millennium for being a Ravens fan

Anyway, looks like we can upload our custom avatars again

And with that, I'm off to bed. Hopefully I don't hop on tomorrow morning while eating breakfast only to find a bunch more spam.

Edit: So the avatar space is circule shaped so it cuts off the edges of my avatr.

[studbucket]

You're right, avatars work! Hurray.

[bcruise]

Yeah, took a bit of resizing but I think I got it right. Glad to have them back!

[Steve_OS]

I'm looking for a few people that want all of their subscriptions deleted. Just need to test something and see if the notifications area at the top of the page is faster when they have been removed.

[ChaseB]

Bro delete mine, PLEASE, I have 172,000 notifications.

[countryboy]

You can delete mine.

[Scott]

mine as well

[ChaseB]

Wonder if the circles are default or just only option, a question for the Stevester on Slack I suppose.

[countryboy]

Avatars are back! Circular instead of square but works perfectly for my old school St.Louis Cardinals logo.

[kibaxx7]

YESSSSSSSSS

[The Kid 24]

Steve, any update on User CP coming back?

I was just using the upload attachments option.

the image was apparently too large, although not sure what part, file size or resolution. do you know what the limits are?
I will try to use it via web link to test next time at home to compare.
