Software update

Post by Stu »

I updated the software to the latest version last night which brings some changes to the backend of the software.

I have also installed a dark themed style should anyone prefer a dark theme

The styles can be found in your user control panel by clicking on your username then go to board preferences and change the "My board style" setting

If anyone spots any issues then please let me know

@Stu , FYI... I have not been able to get the version to function correctly with my default browser Vivaldi. Logins frequently fail, site navigation (eg: Board index, Quick links) result in needing to login again. Cookies and site data have been cleared. The site appears to be functioning fine with Slimjet so the problem seems specific to Vivaldi (I have not tested any other browsers). I will post back if I can identify a specific cause within Vivaldi.

I would be interested to hear from anyone else using Vivaldi of their experience.

Don't obsess over Vivaldi on my account. There is another site that I frequent that Vivaldi doesn't like so this one isn't the only one. I really like Vivaldi because it is extremely configurable. It is my default browser, but no my only browser. It has built-in tracker and ad blocking which I disabled for this site. I also allowed cookies.

I am back with an update...
When using Vivaldi, early indications are that enabling the "Remember me" option at login seems to resolve the issue of having to login again when navigating with the site (eg: switching from 'Unread posts' to 'Board index' or vice versa).

I have tested these other installed browser: Firefox, FlashPeak Slimjet, Brave, and Edge.
All seem to function fine without "Remember me" enabled so the issue seems clearly with Vivaldi and "Remember me".

@Stu, I just want to reinforce that I don't expect you to spend any time on this. I have an aversion to websites remembering anything so that is on me.
