Forum upgrade imminent
Posted: Tue May 22, 2018 7:26 pm
I've said imminent but it may be a week or so but better to tell you now rather than once it's happened, so as the title said a forum upgrade will take place some time very soon or a bit later depending upon Adam's workload.
Those of you who also frequent our sister forum Fighter Control will be aware that the upgrade was recently carried out, reasonably smoothly but a few glitches which were soon ironed out so hopefully the CA upgrade will run like clockwork.
The look has changed a bit, here's a link to the FC homepage: http://www.fightercontrol.co.uk/forum/ and the main differences are the loss of the tabs for 'View unanswered posts • View unread posts • View new posts • View active topics • Mark forums read' which used to run along the top of the board and the 'search' and 'members' tabs on the right. These are not now immediately apparent but fear not for I'm about to tell you how to find them..........
they are all available by clicking on the 'Quick Links' tab at the toppish left as per this screen shot AND all in one place together now, here's a screenshot that I've done with the tab highlighted for you....
FC new format quick links by Andrew Goldsmith, on Flickr - I notice somebody has already found it on my flickr page and liked it so I must have done something useful!
hope that will help with the transition as that's the main difference from a navigation point of view. When it all happens please post questions here and I'm sure Adam will answer them best he can if Mike or I don't know ourselves.
thanks for reading this and fingers crossed it all goes smoothly
