I've put up a copy of the forum on the new server. I'll be using it as a devopment server in future so I can test stuff without breaking the real site and doing something later so I don't get confused about which I'm on but they look the same right now or at least should.

I'll be messing around on it to see if anything breaks.

Can you take a look and mooch around to see if you spot anything that doesn't work please

Nothing you add will ever appear on the live site

There's a little 'blue pin head' when I start to type a reply, is that intentional Klondy ?  I can't see anything else different  :upvote:

Can't say I've seen that. The forum software version hasn't changed it's the server software. I did take the opportunity to update two mods that are on that use functions the current forum doesn't support so they can't be updated here.

One is an SEO mod which won't mean anything to you and shouldn't change anything you see just what search engine see but I've not altered any of the parameters and haven't even checked if it offers anything new or is just a technical  update.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization

The other is the one that trys to  keep spammers from signing up. Maybe it thinks you're a bit shifty  :smiley:

What I'm wary of is anything just crashing or not working. Like all the smilies going AWOL when I junked the unused smilie mod here the other day.
