[NSC] Forum software thread - wiped from existence?

[gazingdown]

I am sure there was a sticky/post that Bozza was updating the forum software soon, and we were to check our e-mail settings etc.

Now I can’t find anything about it.

What’s happening?

maybe the upgrade happened, only select posters got the email and moved across?

Well, feck changes anyway. Changes are bad and dangerous. Even the good ones. Dont fix it if it aint broken.

I'm sure I read something about Tapatalk being ditched but I'm still using it

Only those with a certain post count were moved to the other side

I just unstickied it. It's still here - https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showthread.php?384444-***-PLEASE-READ-Upcoming-Changes-***

It will still be going ahead, and I'll update on when, when I know when.

I can't wait to move to a mobile friendly version and get away from tapatalk where there seems no way of turning off Bear Pit posts from poluting my Unread Posts feed.

OK, couldn't find that thread, I had wondered if I was imagining it all!

vBulletin 4 is well broke. Yes, it still works (after a fashion), but it's ancient code, it's no longer properly supported by vBulletin (4.2.2 isn't supported at all, actually), it's riddled with security holes (some in vB 4 itself, some because it's not compatible with latest releases of PHP), is not great on mobile / tablet, etc.

In short: it's long overdue for being replaced. Plenty of far better options out there these days.

This forum does have a mobile friendly version. Scroll to bottom of this page, and select NSC Mobile from the drop down menu

Maybe they have all gone and we are left here?

It does but it's not very mobile friendly. It doesn't show avatar pictures but the word 'avatar' across the words that someone's posted. The standard version is a bit clunky on a mobile but at least it's legible

That has to be one of the ugliest things I've ever seen

Why are you always so absolute?

Are we all going to get our history wiped like we did in 2003?

Must be difficult to find time to do it in between tipping point and homes under the hammer.

Doesn't happen often but I'm with Swanny on this one.

That adage "If it aint broke, don't fix it" has stood me in good stead over the years and I've seen so often someone trying to fix something that ain't broken....and they break it.
