akdrv Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 The software we currently use to run CoinPeople is a few versions behind the latest version. There have been several security issues discovered in the older versions of the software. I think we'll have to bite the bullet and upgrade to the new version. Some potential issues we'll have to fix after the upgrade: 1. Retro skin 2. No Friendly URLs (eg. www.coinpeople.com/Coin-Forum-f4.html) 3. Possible Gallery problems. One big benefit is that we'll have the attachments working again in all browsers. I find it really annoying that I can't view attachments in Firefox. I'm going to request the upgrade today and it should be done in a day or two. Please let me know if you experience any problems after the upgrade.

gxseries Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I think I am on the new updated version. Are the polls removed in the new update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdrv Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 The upgrade is done. Good news: 1. The skins are still there, including Retro. 2. Attachments work. Bad news: 1. Gallery is not working. Is everything else functioning properly? I think I am on the new updated version. Are the polls removed in the new update? Yes, I can see the problem with the polls. I'll let you know when I figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they will not be visible in Retro, and I will also setup a "No-Ads" version of the default skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldFartte Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks for the upgrade !!! ... I thought my 'puter screwed up somehow. All the forums had "new" posts. I've never seen that before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trantor_3 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks for the upgrade !!!... I thought my 'puter screwed up somehow. All the forums had "new" posts. I've never seen that before yesterday's posting frenzy???? However, I see some minor flaws in Retro, on Firefox: One of 'm is the window I get when I press reply in a post. Since one image says more than 1000 words (and uses more disk space than 1000 words too ) I'll post a screen shot to show what I mean http://www.coinpeople.com/uploads/11559678...27_23_10117.jpg it's going wrong in the text properties area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trantor_3 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Bad news:1. Gallery is not working. Seems to work for me..... Is everything else functioning properly? Found another one: I normally use teh quick reply thingy at the bottom of the page. There's this link "Show Smilies Pop Up Window" at the bottom of the page. If I click that, I do get the popup window with all smilies, but clicking a smilie doesn't add it to my post.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trantor_3 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Dunno what it is , but I start getting large font text in some threads. It's the "Reply Quote Edit" texts next to the actual posts. Normally they're about 11 pt, bold, but now they seem like 14 pt or larger, not bold [edit]OK, they are bold too....

Trantor_3 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 While looking for the time stamp settings, I found a setting Type of text editor to use when posting Rich Text Editor requires either IE6, Mozilla or Firefox in the section "Board settings" It was set to Standard Editor Hoping that setting it to Rich Text Editor would solve the problem I described above, I set it to Rich Text Editor To make a long story short: that's even worse, no editor shows up at all, so I went back to Standard Editor. -._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.

akdrv Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I think I am on the new updated version. Are the polls removed in the new update? To get polls to work clear your browser cache. The new version uses updated JavaScript, and it does not work when the old script is cached. I will look into all the other issues later today.

akdrv Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 You are right, it does not work in Retro. It does, however, work in Default. I suspect that the retro links to the old JavaScript somewhere. I'll take a look, but if I can't fix it we may have to wait for Stujoe to come back.
