Forums upgrade


Posts:


The forums upgrade is just about ready - I think we'll be going live --- or trying to --- on Monday afternoon.

This means there will be about 1 hr of downtime and no doubt a few teething problems.

The intended benefits are:
1. a proper spam Captcha
2. more flexible permission settings
3. a newer version of drupal, so some general future-proofing in terms of upgade features and supportability

Fingers crossed,

Tony

Seems to be working Tony.

Seems to be working Tony. Congratulations. I do notice the "Submit Spam" button is missing. Is that no longer required in this version?

Thanks Tony. I figured it

Thanks Tony. I figured it out on my own. There is an option when deleting a post to report it as spam to mollom. That saves a step when taking out the trash, but also provides the opportunity to mark a reason for its deletion including abusive, etc. Nice feature for housecleaning.

wondering if the avatar

wondering if the avatar function will ever be fixed. I understand we will forever be in twos but I would like to be doing something other than taking out the garbage. meaning no matter what picture I post, the one on the left is what shows up (which btw isn't me.)

Forums upgrade

I change my avatar on a regular basis without any problem--though I find the double avatar annoying. Make sure the avatar you post meets the size and resolution requirements. Too big and it will be rejected.

The only avatar that shows

The only avatar that shows up for me is the one I had at the last forum upgrade. I can delete it but I can't replace it beyond my edit page.

The problem happened when the forums were upgraded which was about six months ago. I guess opendemocracy isn't able to fix it.
