DHutch Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Following our move to a new server a fortnight ago the second phase is to move to the most recent version of the forum software, which is expected to take place shortly. The downtime during the change is expected to be short, and although the forum will look noticeably different and gain some additional features, this should not pose any issues to the user experience, as the core interface will remain as you have come to expect. Please discus anything relating to this update in the below thread. Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mango Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 This is ridiculous! CWDF is a canal forum...Why on earth should we upgrade to a Narrow Gauge Railway one? Is this really progress?

David Mack Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 This is ridiculous! CWDF is a canal forum...Why on earth should we upgrade to a Narrow Gauge Railway one? Is this really progress?

matty40s Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Like the look of it Dan, still a bit slow with avatars etc, however, this may be my internet connection.

smileypete Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 What was the main reason for upgrading the forum software? cheers, Pete. ~smpt~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Old version was no longer supported, server was throwing up memory errors, if Dan didn't upgrade the software the server owners keep blaming it on the old software rather than getting on and solving the problem. Sometimes you have to jump through hoops to get results Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHutch Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Old version was no longer supported, server was throwing up memory errors, if Dan didn't upgrade the software the server owners keep blaming it on the old software rather than getting on and solving the problem. Indeed, combined with the fact there are a host of other reasons why running three year old unsupported software is ill advised. Such as security risks, and the fact there have been improvements to the software suite. We held onto 3.1 for as long as we could, having leapfrogged 3.0, but am update was inevitable and this was deemed a suitable time to carry it out. We are currently working on the issue of the fatal memory allocation errors. Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
