Forum upgrade is now complete we are on latest release

[Mark]

The Simple Machine developers have released an upgrade to the forum software. Well more than one actually as it seems that sausage fingers introduced extra bugs which had to be fixed in an aditional release. As this was all a couple of weeks or so ago I'm hoping that the latest will be bug free or at least no glaring problems.

SMF 2.1.6 has been released
on June 26, 2025, 03:39:02 PM
SMF 2.1.6 contains fixes for a few minor (but annoying) bugs that were introduced in 2.1.5. We recommend updating as soon as possible.
SMF 2.1.5 has been released
on June 24, 2025, 04:42:37 PM
SMF 2.1.5 includes important security updates and many bug fixes. We recommend updating as soon as possible.

I'll do the upgrades incrementally as I'm hoping that means no lengthy outage sometome this evening when the forum is usually idle anyway. If it all screws up I'll get if fixed as soon as I can, With any luck nobody will notice anything but it's possible that there will be some minor differences visible. If anybody is bored the full release notes are here...

Phew.  Looks like I returned just in time.  Feel free to delete that dex63 account.  Can't remember the password anyway, and I missed my original nom de plume.  Ta.

You deleted the original account and I fiddled the spoof one you had set up to display as Dextrous63. It should have access to all boards as I changed that access from by post to belonging to a member group granted by admin approval.

[Dextrous63]

Ah.  Thought I'd abbreviated the Spartacus thingy to Dex63.  Anyway, who cares?  I'm back and no doubt I'll post prolifically enough to achieve the usual full rights.

Thanks for your efforts/help though klondy.😊

You should already have full rights just not many stars or fancier member type.

If your main screen only has these boards listed that's the basic default. If you have more such as Controversal, Politics etc. then you are in the Trustee group (invisible) and have all of the full poster proviledges. If not let me know and I'll fix it

[Dextrous63]

No idea.  Will advise in due course, if needed which it probably won't be.  Que sera sera

Cheers klondike, thank you for the work you put in to keep this going.

Cheers klondike, thank you for the work you put in to keep this going.

Yes,  I'm with you there too, Granny.  

Thanks for everything,  Klondike.

[Dextrous63]

Me too!

[Scrumpy]

.. and me.. Even though I have no idea what's going on..
 
Klondike.. I would love to spend a night of unadulterated love with you..
    BUT... what would we talk about afterwards.. 

[Raven]

Yep, definitely agree.

I guess neither of us smoke so that just leaves steaming a little...
