Hi Flyers
We have a new Forum server!
More powerful with up to date software. So far everything is working except the avatars, I have posted on the phpbb forum asking for help on that.
I am hoping to get the mail system working on this so we can do email verification with Captcha so I can reactivate registration on the forum again.
I also applied a new style to it to try and make it look a bit more modern. Here is a link to the page that has additional styles in case there is one that would work better for us.
https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/styl ... r/demo/3.3
The wiki runs on the same box on that I was not able to upgrade it yet. The old version of mediawiki (1.26) won't run on the new system and its also too old for the upgrade utility on the latest version (1.42), so for now the wiki is still running on the old system.
New Forum Update!

Re: New Forum Update!
The Avatar issue is resolved on the forum and with a fair about of work fixed the DB issue with the wiki so its moved over also but there are one or two minor cosmetic issues that need to be resolved.
No luck on getting emails sending yet.
I have also pruned many of the forums, removing topics more than 4 or 5 years old.

Good job!! It looks very nice, in a modern style. Thanks for you work 
Night navigation is so easy. Just try to maintain the plane centered between the red light on your left and the green one on your right.

I did just get rid of the 'Virtual Airlines' section of the forum, nobody was using it and sometimes 'less is more'.

Hi Joe,
I just noticed I am unable to upload an avatar from the profile page, only delete the current one, the dropdown menu for avatar type doesn't have anything showing, just a heads up in case it relates to your post above.

it may have been a file permission issue on the new server, try it now.Alan McGaughey wrote: ↑Wed Nov 27, 2024 7:11 pm Hi Joe,
