Forum Upgrade Status

[Jon]

The forum is currently being upgraded - this post details the status.

Content may look badly formatted at the moment. This is normal until the background rebuild tasks have finished. There is no need to re-edit your old posts or signatures to fix them, this should happen automatically. Please resist the urge to do so

The post rebuild is estimated at 9 hours - it's not a quick task.

Current Status:

• Forum upgraded - 100%
• AutoIt code boxes rebuilt - 100%
• Double-spaced paragraphs fixed up (as best I can) - 100%
• Forum to Wiki Access - 100%
• Signatures rebuilt - 100%
• Posts rebuilt (emoticons, bbcode, attachments, images, quotes) - 100%
• Legacy BBCode fixed in signatures
  • ​color - 100%
  • color=rgb() - 100%
  • url - 100%
  • img - 100%
  • size - 100%
• Search engine online - 100%

Update

[Jon]

Signatures have been rebuilt but there is a bug so most bbcode still hasn't converted. In the majority of cases if you just open your signature for editing and then save it, it should be ok.

Edit: I've run a script to fix up 'color' bbcode in signatures. Still have img and url to do.

Search is online.

[Jon]

Fixed up broken [ img] tags in signatures. That's all now. If there are still broken signatures they'll have to be fixed manually.

[Jon]

There has been a problem with the conversion of posts that contain backslashes outside of code blocks and they have been stripped out.

So this:

C:\Program Files\Something

Will have become this:

C:Program FilesSomething

However anything that was using the [ code] or [ autoit] code boxes will be ok (i.e. the really important stuff) because they were processed differently during the upgrade.

; This will have been ok
$var = "C:\Program Files\Something"

There is no easy way to fix this aside from doing a full rollback to Saturday morning, and as the code boxes are intact I'm not going to do that.

I'm going to write some scripts to look for commonly used paths that are used to fix them up, such as:

C:\Program Files
C:\Windows
C:\Windows\System32
C:\Program Files\AutoIt
C:\Program Files\AutoIt\Include

Fixed up about 2800 posts and signatures that contained links to other topics that didn't work anymore.

The old urls where in the format:

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80636&view=findpost&p=753962

The new:

I've got an implementation of the code collapse/expand/popup buttons working. This was the main thing missing from the new forum in my mind.

Upgraded to 4.0.5.1 from 4.0.4 - some big backend changes so just checking everything is ok in the background.

User notification options appear to have been reset by the upgrade - you will need to reset them.

Forum upgraded from 4.0.5.1 to 4.0.6.

Release Notes

[Melba23]

Since the last upgrade, several members have reported that they cannot get an editor pane when trying to post. 

There is nothing that can be done at the server end -  it seems that this is a cache/browser issue when the editor javascript does not load. The only thing we can suggest is to clear the browser cache and restart the browser.

I've reset the editor, I think the trac button might have been causing issues.

[Jon]

There appears to be a problem uploading .au3 files into the Downloads system. I thought it was mime type related but after some testing I'm fairly certain that it's a weird bug caused by the file extension ending with a numeric. I've reported the bug and the workaround for the time being is upload as .zip.

Removed the geshi code highlighting. It was causing some problems for a few users. No idea why.

Edit: Tweaked the code and re-added for testing.

Edit: And removed again.

I added a plugin to restore ability to view user's Display Name history. It's in the profile view at the top right.

Added a plugin to show recently updated files in the Downloads section.
