This thread is for forum update discussion

There seems to be some performance issues, sometimes I get 5-10sec page loads. Counting without a clock I estimated 12 seconds for a preview button press for this post! (Then a second preview was much quicker, almost instant.)

Don't remember that happening with the previous forum. I may have a bad memory though
Of course right now after update, it may be a few more busy than normal hours. But this is something to look after.

Also at google+ someone reported

The highlight colour with the new forum is awful, comes out as a bright yellow colour for me that makes the text unreadable.

I like the new logo and forum colors. Please consider updating the highlight text color. The green is one of my favorite colors, but it does not match the rest of the theme, additionally, it is difficult to read white text on the green.

thank you so much!

After conversion some of the url links in my signature were not being displayed correctly (there was an extra space in the text between the = sign and the site address) so I tried to change them but I'm getting an error that indicates the max character length is 255. That is pretty short especially if you are using links in your signature. I believe the previous limit was 1000. Can we have the limit restored to 1000?

+1 for this request. I had a jacked up signature. Had to remove almost all links and formatting stuff in order to stay within the limits.

Is it possible for this forum software to display post previews upon mouse hover over the thread link? That feature is so useful to me.

Thanks for the info.

So you want some fancy multicoulored hard to read forum?

Don't know if you have looked the xbmchub.com forum but that one looks just plain horrible
