FishForums.net - Site Upgrade 12/16

[dascrow]

We will be upgrading the website tonight to newer software that will bring some awesome new features along with several improvements.

It will take us a few days to sort out all of the bugs, so please have some patience while we work through the issues.

Please report any problems in this thread.

Has the calculator section disappeared, or is it just I can't find it? This was very useful for everything from calculating how much ammonia to use for fishless cycling to converting hardness from one unit to another.

Was this it? https://www.fishforums.net/aquarium-calculator.htm

I still need to get all of the "How-To" links back.

 

[Essjay]

Yes, that's it. I thought it would be part of the stuff to finish but I wanted to make sure it didn't get overlooked. I'll bookmark it for now.

Thanks for letting me know! I've added a block in the side column that contains all of the useful links we had on the old site.

• Aquarium Calculator
• Cycling a Tank
• Algae Removal
• Betta Care
• Snail Guide
• Product Reviews

couple of bugs from the new forum.

TheTenthDoctor's Bird (s)

This thread is a thread to catalog the lives of my bird soon to be birds. I have on Budgie at the moment. Kiwi. Born in April or May. (I have yet to assign him a birthday :) ) Kiwi is a loyal lovely bird. He recently went through his first molt. I was really concerned because he was loosing...

post #3.
Most of the font is Ariel but the last 2 paragraphs are New Times Roman. I didn't do this, it just did it by itself.

And there is no edit button for the posts so if you make a mistake or want to add stuff, you can't.

 

[Colin_T]

That's an issue too. I put in a link to a page and it put the first post form that thread here. I don't want to see the first post. I put a link, that's all I want to see.

I have an edit button - has edit become a moderator-only tool?

What would be cool is if we had a "Latest posts" list at the end of the thread - where we used to have the related threads list that kept popping up loads of 10 year old posts. Would save loads of time when in an hotel in a rural location with a slow connection (just like now ) to not have to go back, or re-run the query to see if there was a new post I'd like to read.

I see what you are referring too, that's just the way the software works by grabbing the thread title for the link. When you click on the link, it should take you to the correct post though.

For example, this takes you to post #3

Looking into this now...

I like this idea, let me see what I can do!
