Administrator dena Posted December 17, 2020 Administrator Share Posted December 17, 2020 Good morning, We are aware of the problem associated with the software update that took place yesterday and thank those who reached out to us about it. Unfortunately we are not always aware of how an update will impact the site as the updates come from a third party and we don't have the opportunity to test before applying it. We regret the difficulty and inconvenience this has caused and for not making a post to address this sooner. The following are the issues we are already working on: Broken images: We've reached out to the software vendor Missing "make sub-forum read" feature: We've reached out to the vendor Missing "back-to-top" arrow: We're in the process of getting this to appear again Long text sometimes doesn't get cut off properly: We're reviewing this New top post/posters sidebar that appears on the right in some threads It looks like this sidebar only appears once a thread has reached a certain number of replies. We're looking to confirm this. We feel like we should hide this because we don't think users particularly care about this info - we are discussing that.

Administrator dena Posted December 17, 2020 Author Administrator Share Posted December 17, 2020 Just a quick update on the broken images: The software vendor escalated the issue to their advanced support team last night. We don't have an exact timeframe for the fix but I can report that we do have their attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RE: The underlined; Now, to mark a sub-forum as "read", you have to click on the orange message bubble to the left of the sub-forum on the CGC Chat Boards main page. So, the feature is here, it just changed dramatically. Get Marwood & I and dena 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator dena Posted December 17, 2020 Author Administrator Share Posted December 17, 2020 UPDATE: The cause of the broken images was that the upgrade reset the file storage location. That has been switched back, and images uploaded before yesterday's upgrade or after about 1:45pm EST today are appearing. Images that were uploaded while the file storage location was incorrect (from about 1pm EST yesterday through 1:45pm EST today) will be broken and unfortunately we don't have a way to resolve that beyond asking users to re-upload their images. So sorry for the inconvenience to anyone in that boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
