      Just updating the software to the latest version

      How Long? Expect about an hour without the forum.

            I'm going to have to talk to my family.

                Mostly done.. probably some visual errors I need to fix

                Forum should be working ok though

                There might be a few 10-20sec timeouts if I have to do some restarts

                    Most things seems ok.

                    There is an issue with some emoji's not displaying correctly. I'll fix that later

                      @Duluth notification stuff moved as well I see? Now on the top right instead of being listed with menus.

                        Oh I hadn’t noticed they changed the phone layout. I might need to make some minor adjustments to that too. The search size is wrong etc

                          Anyway to turn off the notification of new posts in topics? I modified my settings but it still appears (the unread box)

                            The change on the phone layout is a little jarring. The real notifications are on the right now

                            There is no setting for it. I could hide it but that would change it for everyone

                            What about this green for unread and red for notifications? Would that help? eg:

                                Ok that got some likes so I've made the change

                                You may need to refresh

                                  @Duluth classic example of a feature that worked perfectly. Sometimes I wonder whether these guys change for change's sake.

                                  Like app developers who changed the Twitter star to a love heart. Why? We all knew what it meant.

                                  Anyway, as you say: jarring, but will get used to it.

                                    Any way to get the right hand menu to default to notifications when opened? Mine defaults to profile status (like I give a fuck)

                                      I'm not a fan of their UI choices (the default look is very different to the fern)

                                      They're doing some interesting things on the backend though setting up for a UI refresh. In a release or two I'll have a lot more flexibility to code my own stuff

                                        It would remember your selection until you refreshed the page and it would then switch back to the profile tab

                                        I agree that 'Notifications' makes a lot more sense

                                        I made a code change.. it should default back to the notification tab after refreshing now?

                                          I have a white 'The Silver Fern' heading that drops down over the top menu options, and when I tap it it takes me back to the home page so can't use the links at the top to navigate through each forum sub category.

                                                    The same thing still happens to the heading if you click on the search icon and the input is displayed. Probably not as big of an issue though

                                                            I like the new notifications on the top right corner.

                                                            Loving your work @Duluth and as always mate, thanks for keeping the site going.

                                                            Me too, it's much nicer on the phone too as the notifications were a bitch before.

                                                              Once I figured it out, the fly-out menu with Profile, notifications and messaging works great on my OnePlus Nord 2. Notification history is much better too.

                                                              Am getting broken image indicators on the Home page next to the poster's moniker, though. Refresh doesn't change things.

                                                                Since the maintenance I have been unable to post from my laptop - I get a forbidden message.

                                                                I thought I might have copped a ban for saying Clint wasn’t the greatest of all time or not liking Liz’s bikini pics … but I’m able to post on my phone still.

                                                                          I think the colour change helped. Initially the unread and notifications were both red which sucked
