Similar Threads would be very useful. However on the old site it seemed to select older similar threads. If possible, modify to select most recent similar threads.

Ok, good to know.

I've just thought of something. We don't have a Similar Threads feature here. Is that useful?

I would say Very. I have seen it mentioned quite a few times to the O/P ?

Especially if its like the parrot in my local who greets all strangers with "You're a w**ker"
May change my strapline to Norwegian Blue in line with my current Monty Python signature quotes.

Any idea how I change my 'strapline'?

Jon,

I just ran into this error when sending a PM:

apparently including an image in a PM via a link pointer isn't working....

Hmmm, now that I have had a look, Similar Threads is harder to come by on Xenforo. It seems they have add-ons that show related threads as you type the question. But I don't want that. I want it to show threads after they have posted, since that creates additional content for the site and Google likes fresh content.

Gotta dash guys, my dinner is ready!

Strapline?

 

[isladogs]

Strapline?

Probably the wrong terminology

Jon,

After I posted on Mr Excel plenty of times recently, my browser's cache filled up extremely quickly which was causing the page loading to do weird things. I saw all of these happen:

=> request resulted in blank screen
=> request re-routed me to the www.domain.com/forum URL
=> request resulted in an error message saying page could not be loaded at this time

I also got errors when trying to insert images into threads and PMs. stuff like what I posted earlier in this thread:

=> an error occurred. Please contact the administrator

I don't think that stuff would happen here, and it hasn't happened to me personally yet, but maybe you can post something about it? Perhaps if anyone starts complaining later on?

And Online Members shown top right.

I cannot remember how I changed mine in the old software. I've checked in another forum still using vbulletin, but 4.2.3 and cannot see it there.

Hmm, well I can't find the two posts I got eMails for as those links don't work. So, I'll have to go hunting for them because oddly enough also not showing under my watched threads.

If the post happened between the backup of data and the re-launch then it will be gone.

How do people here feel about the speed of the site? Is it faster or slower than before, or about the same? Just trying to get a feel for it.

 

[Deleted member 147267]

Has anyone tried the Conversation feature here ye

I reported on that way back on page 2 post 56 I think.

Way faster I would say, even after you moved to new server?

 

[pbaldy]

The site has been very quick for me, faster than before it feels like.

 

[Dreamweaver]

Same here very smooth

I am looking at ways to try to speed it up. We score 94/100 on Google's PageSpeed Insights tool for Desktop. There is no CDN network setup on this site like there was on the old one. I came across someone today recommending BunnyCDN. I like the name so I might give them a go!
