Jim Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 As you have probably noticed, we have been busy moving the forum the our new server. We experienced some issues, so it took longer than expected. We hope that everything is working properly, but if you encounter any issues, let us know. What's next? We have updated our test site with the new version of the forum software We will work on new themes and solve the problems with the themes When we have tested everything on the test forum, we will upgrade the live forum Hopefully, we can make the forum better and make sure the skins are working properly, also on mobile devices.

Xico26 Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Great news! I think the forum deserves a more modern look, and it has some weird things with the theme! Quote

We agree on the more modern look. I will be working on a new them which represents EB in a modern way. Some subforums might still keep their own theme, but the main theme will be different. Quote
JintaiZ Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) Thank you very much for the update, the forum is working much better now. Edited January 26, 2021 by JintaiZ Quote

We are a recognized LEGO fan media. Which entails that we don't support/endorse clone/competitor brands. In Community forum (and some other cases) we make an exception, but this is a LEGO forum.

koalayummies Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Hooray! Some of us didn't know what to do. Pacing back and forth. Etching the passing days into the wall. Starting builds and abandoning them halfway through. Contemplating visiting other sites. Thanks Eurobricks internet technology administrator people and all the behind the scenes work! Quote
mostlytechnic Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 And I love the cover image you used on the FP - I have this set on my desk at work as my pen holder. Fun set :) Quote
makoy Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Looking good so far. I think it feels faster for some reason. Maybe that's the benefit from the new server and also the updated forum software. Feels great to be back! Quote
CF Mitch Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Thanks for all the hard work, the new forum looks/feels great! Regards, Mitch Quote

agrof Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Thanks @Jim and others for keeping this exceptional business running! Curious about the new looks, the forum runs much smoother (faster, easier) than before. Quote

I'm curious myself too, because I need to start working on it hehe It does seem to run a lot smoother indeed Quote
koalayummies Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Anyone have an issue with "show new reply" (when you're logged in and viewing a thread/typing)? The popup appears but clicking show reply doesn't appear to be working for me. Not a big deal, just glad to have EB back. Quote

Also much thanks @Jim and others involved in the move! Glad to have the forums back. Quote

J159753 Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Seems much faster browsing on a computer from the UK. Thanks! :-) Edited January 27, 2021 by J159753 Quote
Scarilian Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 A new reply appears in the form of a pop-up box, but clicking it will not load the new comment. In a similar sense, notifications will appear for new comments without displaying them when viewing the topic unless a manual refresh occurs. Quote
Toastie Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 All clean, all nice, and much faster here! Thank you all for the hard work! Congratulations to you (and all the fun to us)! Thorsten Quote

Lira_Bricks Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Nice work on moving the site :) One little problem I am having: I get a lot of 500's and 502's, and sometimes not all resources load. Yesterday one of the resources was some JavaScript for the editor, so I could not comment on posts. Is this a problem others are having after the move? Quote

Yeah, seems there's indeed a problem at peak times (evening time in EU / morning in VS). We are looking into that and are monitoring to pin point the bottleneck. EDIT: Changes have been done. Now let's see if those solve the issue. So far things are looking good. Quote
caiman0637 Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Why are featured posts no longer on the front page? I'm sorry if I'm not the first person to ask this. Quote
