The Help menu is now customised also for the dark colour styles.

There is now an avatar (and in fact a real account) associated with the anonymous feature.

Updated the Tapatalk add-on to the most recent version. Changes in the new version:

Version 1.3.0 release

Update Note:
Support advanced search.
Add push key and optimize push mechanism to reduce holdtime.
Optimize plugin entry interface in browser.
Support full xenforo bbcode.
Fix page number not correct, link-forum missing and other minority issues.
Do not support @/tag function and tag push now.

Starting maintenance work in about 6 minutes. The site will be unavailable for 10 minutes or so.

Edit: All done.

 

[Second Summer]

Made some changes in the way notification emails are sent. The emails are now sent from the SMTP server rather than the web server. (Apparently some spam filters are unhappy about emails sent from web servers, hence this change).

Edit: Also, just emailed a reminder to everyone who had signed up without activating their account yet.

 

[Second Summer]

Upgraded the Calendar add-on.

There's a new version of the Tapatalk add-on as well, I will install that later.

 

[Second Summer]

Our host may have rebooted the server a couple of hours ago. (The emails I got weren't quite clear on whether they actually rebooted ...) So if VV was unavailable for a few minutes, then that was probably the cause.

Edit: The server OS confirms a reboot did indeed happen.

 

[Second Summer]

Just installed a new behind-the-scenes add-on, will soon install something nice for those who have decent smartphones (Sorry for the blank/white screen while installing these ....)

 

[Second Summer]

Today I'm planning to upgrade the operating system. This is a major undertaking and may take several hours. Check our FB page for updates ...

 

[Second Summer]

All done! Everything seems to be working normally. Might do some small tweaks later on.

 

[Second Summer]

About to install a new add-on. You'll get the "white page" / no response issue for a few minutes, sorry ...

Edit: Done. This add-on is the first add-on developed by me

What does it do?

What does it do?

I've just started a thread about it here:

[Second Summer]

About to install a much needed add-on that will display a "maintenance" screen whenever I install new add-ons and the board is unavailable.

Done - this is the page that will be displayed:

[Second Summer]

Upgraded the Events add-on and the Wiki add-on.

It's now possible to "watch" pages in the Wiki. Also, I can create threads for the individual pages.

Just done some backups. I wish I had a more automated system for this, but haven't had time to look into it properly.

That's what I oughta do on my computer.

I should have learned after the first time I had to send it in on repair.

Time Machine.

I've added a new sub-forum under Health Issues called Members-only Health Issues. It's members-only, if you were in doubt. Only members can read and post there. By popular demand, the Depression thread has been moved in there.

Time Machine.

Myeah, that seems to be a Mac-only software. It's interesting conceptually though.

If I had more money to spend, I would pay our host to do backups for us. They have a pretty nice system.

 

[Second Summer]

I've installed an social network integration add-on. I've so far enabled it only for Google. (Other options are FB, Twitter and VK (whatever that is).) So if you have a Google account, it's now possible to associate it with your current account here (even after you've signed up here), meaning you can log in with your Google account. You will of course keep your username here, and no one here will see your Google identity or anything. It's nice since you don't need a special username and password here, so you'll have one less set of username/password to remember.

Not sure if that was entirely clear ... Feel free to ask if you're interested.

 

[Second Summer]

I've now also configured the above to work with Twitter.
