Maintenance on Wednesday

As most of you are aware, VFRworld has had a few technical issues over the past few months, including the inability to view member profile pages. These issues were the result of a hardware failure at our web host, which caused them to have to restore from backups. Although I was able to get most of the kinks worked out, the lingering profile problems have been driving me crazy, and despite my best efforts, I have not yet been able to resolve them.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) I am planning to apply some upgrades to the software on VFRworld. This may or may not fix the problem, but it's the next step in the troubleshooting process. I just wanted everyone to be aware that VFRworld may be down for a bit tomorrow during the maintenance. Cross your fingers that all goes well and that the upgrade doesn't cause something else to break! :smash:

 

Good news, the upgrade was successful, and it fixed the issues we have been experiencing with Member Pages, etc.

However, if you are using the VFRworld Dark theme, there is a compatibility issue with the new version, and I won't be able to fix it immediately. You'll notice a few things:

1. There is a menu at the top - New Posts Private Messages Etc. You'll notice that this menu is not aligned correctly, it's too low. Hopefully a minor inconvenient until we can get it resolved.
2. There is also an issue with using the ChatBox with VFRworld Dark. You may not be able to post messages, possibly depending on your browser. If you are a user that posts in the ChatBox, then my recommendation would be to switch to VFRworld Light temporarily. You can make this change in the bottom left corner of any page.
3. When using VFRworld Dark, you will also notice some areas where the colors are wrong. For example, White font on a White background. Again, this will be resolved once we receive a new version of VFRworld Dark.

I will keep you posted on resolving the issues with VFRworld Dark. In the meantime, if you discover any additional problems that do NOT have to do with the VFRworld Dark Style, please post in this thread.

As always, thanks for your patience and your support.

Can't switch to mobile page on my iPhone

 

looks good. the links are fixed. i'll try chat and see...

 

both light and dark seem to work on ie9 in chat and forums... I do see a few of the other things you mentioned like white on white text and stuff, though. Still looks pretty good.

 

Except mobile

 

that college education not paying off yet?

 

The unsubscribe link in emails has issues. If i get an email from a subscribed thread that I'm now tired of and click the link to unsubscribe from that thread only, I get an invalid redirect. The forum successfully unsubscribes, but the followup redirect back to email fails.

 

The new mobile site kicks ass!
