AusLancer Forum Upgrade

As you may have now realised we have just upgraded our forum software tonight from phpBB3 to Xenforo.

Whilst all of the posts, etc have transferred over, Xenforo does use some different backend settings. As a result some issues with forum permissions may be experienced until I fine tune these issues out. Please report any issues in this thread so that I can work on sorting them out.

A few features are still to be implemented over the coming weeks, including a new chat box, recent post list, etc.
 
Yeah went to refresh the site and got an error, but finally worked it out.

Can't wait to test the site in the coming week.
 
Embeded youtube videos are just the code on the mobile site, if it's not the same on a desktop. Otherwise, looks great! :D
 
Sucks that all my bookmarks no longer work and I have no watched/subscribed threads by the look of it. Other than that, I don't mind it at all!
 
Doesn't work with the tapatalk app but the mobile site is probably a bit more user friendly anyway lol.

Just an FYI more than anything

I have a feeling that the Youtube embedding we used in phpBB3 was a custom mod. Unfortunately I think there would be no way to migrate this across besides manually editing and re-embedding each video. If you can link me to a page where you saw the problem I will investigate.

Unfortunately Xenforo uses different PHP call links, not much I can do there. If you look at the old structure and compare to the way Xenforo does the links you could probably rewrite the bookmarks. if you have trouble finding any old threads then send me your old phpBB3 link and I will find the new thread in Xenforo for you.

Yup, was on my to-do list. I have added it for now and it should be working for you, but if it causes glitches (like some other people with Xenforo have been reporting I will have to disable it)...

--------------------

Also today I have added Facebook integration which will allow you to link your existing username to your Facebook login if you wish to do so...
 
Quick Question boss man, ive had a look, how can I cahnge how i view the forum, I like to view it in most recent post first.
 
Hey Ryan are we able to get more emoji's Kinda like the ones that were available on the old forum on the mobile version of the new forum?

Just a little thing not a big stress :)

I second this, and when you click on a thread in the recent posts on the right side it automatically takes you to the first page every time. soooo annoying

I use the new posts tab and then click the little dot next to the thread...

but the new posts tab doesn't have all the threads that the recent posts section has.
for example i updated my ride thread, came back 15 mins later and it wasn't in the new posts tab at all but it was the second top in the recent posts
 
Yeah the new posts only shows threads that you haven't read and have been updated since you last viewed it...

Not sure if it's just me but when I try to login on tapatalk it shows an error then directs me back to the index page.
 
Mine is working fine now, but I had to get out of the presaved one and search for it again... After that I just logged in and it was fine

Have added some more to the forum now.

Surprisingly this wasn't available in Xenforo. Have added a mod and you can now select this option from the user preferences page.

The actual Tapatalk app is often poorly implemented when they do various updates. Try removing and re-adding this forum from your list of forums on the app, or otherwise you could try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. From my end Tapatalk says it is working and others are able to use it, so there isn't much i can do for you sorry.

Correct its just one of the different quirks in Xenforo compared to phpBB3.
 
Not in the same form as the previous mini chat we had when we were using phpBB3, instead I can only increase the number of messages in the shout box or archive the days messages in one hit to a thread at the end of the day.

For now I have increased the messages shown in the full view of the shout box to 200 (you have to open the dedicated page via the Shoutbox link in the nav bar up top).
