Forum Software Upgrade

[Ian]

You may have noticed that the forum looks a little different . We've upgraded to XenForo 2.1, which brings some significant improvements to how the forum software works. I'll make a follow-up post in a few days to explain some of these new features.

For the meantime, I'm busy trying to get the forum software working as it should with all of the addons - so there may be the odd bug or two over the coming week. Please let me know if you spot anything out of place and I'll work on fixing it asap .

Things like hardiness zones, flags, etc... will appear as soon as I've made some tweaks.

Nice Like the new look!

You might have noticed that there are now 'Reactions' instead of just likes. If you hover your mouse over the 'Like' you now have a range of options

One of the new features that may go down well is "push notifications" (common on phones, but PC browsers can use these too). You may see a message bar at the bottom of the page about it, or you can configure it here: https://www.gardenpondforum.com/account/preferences

I was not logged in when I first viewed the new set up. I freaked out! All the stuff was gone and kind of blank looking but after I logged in everything was good and the the forum is great looking now!
Thanks Ian

@Gemma Maybe it got left out in the rain. I think that you can take it tho even if it took so long to bake it and you might never have that recipe again, OH NO

Glad you like the upgrade . I've had to get rid of the "medals" section for now, but it may make a return in future!

Oh, I was thinking Richard Harris!

Outstanding, you win on Kpond radio! Richard Harris beautifully sang that great song. Webb wrote it and Harris took it into the 'Top 10' of several countries. Jimmy Webb wrote so many great hits.

Jimmy Webb wrote and composed it and Richard Harris was the first to record it in 1968.
