‼️Another Day, Another Board Upgrade

MaryO Uncategorized , , ,

 

Another message board upgrade happening right now. I’m not sure how long it will take (or what cosmetic changes need to be done afterwards.

If you see any other issues I should be watching for – and maybe correct later – please let me know.

Patience, please!

FWIW – I see we have the Twitter and Facebook share boxes back. Even if you share from the boards, people on these other services will not be able to see anything other than the beginning snippet unless they are board members and they log in.

 

🔵 New on the Message Boards ~ July 22, 2017

A quick summary of some of this week’s activity on the Cushing’s Help message boards.

A new member posted Another Hump Pic

More discussion about post-op cortisol and weaning in Nicole, Undiagnosed Bio

Save the Date info for a Conference on Adrenal Insufficiency

Form over fashion may save your life! Yes, You Need a Medical Alert Bracelet!

Our newest Newbie has been cleared for surgery in August!

A new member wonders about A Small Hump Maybe?

The Boards Have Been Upgraded Again.  There are 3 skin choices at the bottom, including the default, if you want to try another look.

You can post directly to Facebook and/or Twitter, if you choose.  People who are not logged into the boards will not be able to see what you post on them.

This new upgrade brought us some icons in the bottom right of each post where you can “rate” the information – but only in a positive way.   They slide out from the little heart-looking image and are fairly self-explanatory.

I just added a new icon to the list.  Although it’s small, it’s to welcome new members.

 

There’s other stuff happening but you’ll just have to read the boards to find out what!

(Please note that I’m sharing these from the Cushings-Help.com message boards. You must be a logged-in member of that board to read them. Log in or register at http://cushings.invisionzone.com )

🔵 The Boards have been Upgraded!

MaryO Uncategorized , , ,

The upgrade is here, it’s different and I need a new “skin” for this to get rid of all the white.

Some things are still happening behind the scenes.

Here’s info from Invisionboard

Hello,

Your community has been upgraded to version 4, and is back online. The following information was shown during the upgrade:

Pages HTML
HTML in pages, blocks and templates in Pages cannot be converted during the upgrade. While those pages and blocks will continue to work, you will need to review, and adjust as necessary, the HTML following the upgrade to integrate the styling used by the Community Suite 4.0.

Support Staff
Support staff cannot be converted during the upgrade. Please log in and set up support staff as administrators in the admin control panel after the upgrade and then review support department staff settings.

Please take a few minutes to thoroughly review your community for any issues. If any issues are found, please use the Support tool in the ACP for further assistance.

Please check any custom moderator permissions (ACP -> Members -> Moderators) for Pages Database categories. These have been reset to ‘All Categories’.

Please be sure to review the above item(s).

There are a number of Background Tasks running, to rebuild content slowly so as not to cause server resource issues, and which you can check on your ACP -> System page.

Please do not run those tasks manually, as that can cause server overload.

Those tasks are triggered by forum activity (people logged in and browsing the site), and until they finish, some of the layout may not be correct, such as quotes, signatures, lists, images, etc.

Once they have finished, however, if you notice any issues, please open a new ticket detailing the problem.

Message Board Upgrade Coming Soon!

MaryO Uncategorized , ,

I’m sure that there will be changes which we will figure out together.

The “skin” that we have now won’t be supported by the upgrade but I’m sure I can make it look nice again after the upgrade.

Please be patient during this process, and while we figure out the new features.

Thanks!
