    One of the last huge 3reef upgrades is complete. (mostly)

    This one was major for a lot of technical reasons, but you shouldn't notice much difference.

    I dumped the old portal software and installed a new one. This was pretty dramatic technically with a lot of database and file updates.

    Things you should know...

    This damn bug STILL exists:
    http://www.3reef.com/forums/3reef-f...bugs-new-thread-comes-up-blank-etc-54085.html

    I will hunt it down and kill it asap. ::):p

    Also I am manually reimporting old 3reef member submitted articles and still have many to do..

    http://www.3reef.com/forums/3reef-forum-news-information/comcast-email-users-54244.html

    [STRIKE]Also, the left nav doesn't currently exist on photos,ads, or reviews. It will soon when I figure it out.[/STRIKE]

    This was a pain, but it will pay off in spades with smoother forum upgrades. The old software had 29 steps in every upgrade!!!

    That said... I've been going for 9 hours or so here... I am going to go a while longer then fall down for a while.

    Please post any bugs or weirdness here.

    matt


    ALSO...

    [STRIKE]FYI - I still have some fundamental things here I need to fix. SITE NAVIGATION - like photos link should be closer to the top - AND photos should have left nav too! It will all happen - but, oddly - it will take more effort! Even though it should be easy. Such is life. I hope you can deal with it for a while until then. I need to walk it off for a bit. ;) [/STRIKE] DONE! :)

    Matt,

    Since last nights update there is no longer a "more" tab to follow through all the recently posted threads. Not sure if I am just blind or it is gone??

    Thank you all! :) Glad you like it, much more to do, but we are darn close..


    Yeah, I will have to add that back in. It is not a stock option with this setup. Until then, use the today link at the top of the forum index or 'new posts' in the top nav.
