Pete Raven 276 Posted May 4, 2020 Hi all, We're upgrading the forum software to the latest version and moving the messageboard to new servers tonight. In order to do this, the messageboard will be down between 8pm to midnight. When you wake up tomorrow morning the messageboard should be a lot more stable.

Trevor Hockey's Beard 526 Posted May 4, 2020 Will there be a button where we can choose to see Bill's posts, rather than not read them? Ditto any post about how much better Germany is at doing anything than what we are? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,815 Posted May 4, 2020 The ability to hide entire threads would be nice. I'm tired of hitting 'next unread topic' just to enter into the coronavirus thread once again to see another petty argument, usually (but not always) involving you-know-who.

I rarely use next unread topic button for pretty much the same reason (s) . It also try to take toy to a topic that you've bypassed/ ignored earlier, so not that useful. What would be handy would be if it automatically took you to the blue line when you click on a post that you have visited earlier. Cuts out tedious scrolling looking for the blue line , easily missed when scrolling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,815 Posted May 4, 2020 The only change I've noticed thus far is that under 'next unread topic' it no longer tells you what the next thread actually is. Is that a bug that will be fixed or is it intentional as part of the new software? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've taken a screenshot to show you, but after trying to upload it three times, the system keeps telling me the image is 'queued' and doesn't upload. Is that another bug, or maybe because I'm trying to upload a screenshot instead of a regular image? I've never seen it before.
