Forum Upgrade
The time has come to do an upgrade to the forum. This upgrade will deliver a better mobile browser experience.
It is a fairly significant task, so I'm giving you early warning. If you think thou can help in any way, then please subscribe to this topic (viewtopic.php?t=116218&watch=topic) and I will update as items arise.
The key challenges will be:
- Deprecating the gallery
- phpBB Custom mods
- phpBB theme conversion/rewrite (Needs to match the main site)
- User testing to see if anything was missed
We will be testing the upgrade at http://testforum.rs246.com/, however any posts/etc there will be lost.

The gallery will be removed
# of images per year
2015 - 109 images
2014 - 176 images
2013 - 166 images
2012 - 253 images
2011 - 920 images
Grand Total - 1624 images
The use is pretty minimal. We could find a replacement but that means integrating the software and migrating the images. I'm open to suggestions but right now, the plan is to get rid of it.

Re: Forum Upgrade
Never did use it even when we built the site back in 2002!! HOWEVER buddy, there are some eclectic classical images in there; how do you reckon we choose and save those? categorise? meta tag? ouch nightmare. Would be a shame to lose them. Happy to help you go through them; can we get them to a fileshare?
But I agree the stats show steady decline; get rid.
EDIT: Phil could it be as easy as going through them and then setting up a linked Facebook group; and upload them into that? or any of the other usual suspects.

Re: Forum Upgrade
What about dumping them all somewhere accessible so that they can at least be retreived and uploaded to an image sharing platform by interested parties?PhilT wrote:I'm open to suggestions but right now, the plan is to get rid of it.

Re: Forum Upgrade
Fixed how it renders on a mobile. Happy days . Still need to get rid of the border at the top but can't seem to hunt where that is set.
