Board updates

[greeneyed]

Hi all, we are going to update our board software shortly, and there will be some changes to the appearance of the forum... but hopefully they won't be too radical for you! No one likes changes! But we have not updated the board software for some time, and it is now well out of date.

It’s not final, but here’s a preview:



We have also decided to move to a single URL: thegh.com.au

Our original URL, thegreenhouseact.com.au has been maintained since the forum started, but for a long time, we have promoted the site using thegh.com.au... and we think the time has come to switch over completely, and have a more secure URL. So if you're used to using thegreenhouse.com.au, you'll need to update your bookmarks.

This change will start to be promulgated tomorrow. So please be aware, there may be some site disruptions.

Is that the first use of the word 'promulgated' on this site?



EDIT: Nope, its the 3rd. Once was by me, back in 2013


Carry on.

Out of interest whats the traffic through Tapatalk vs the site?

Don't think I've used the site in nearly a year

[greeneyed]

The mobile app is used well less than the regular site. I suspect this is because a lot of site traffic is referred from Facebook... and to a lesser extent, Twitter.

I suspect its because a lot of people are like me... and have it open at work most if not all day... beats working... well mostly... the politics thread can be a bit trying at times..

The site will be down tomorrow morning for some time so as to transition to the new board software. Hopefully it won’t be too long.

After that we will transition to the single URL for the site.

I’m not sure you’ve given me enough time to line up counselling here GE...

[cat]

Does that mean the app too?

Yes. There may well be some extended disruption to the App when we change the URL.

I'm liking this new set up.

How do I quote another post ?

[greeneyed]

The board update is not complete. It shouldn't look like this..

[greeneyed]

Is now looking as it should!

[Dibbers]

tis pleasing to the eye... will take a while to get used to it but its a much nicer look and feel.

Can we add a feature to "Like" posts? lol

Youre doing some great work, take the rest of the day off.

Nice, thanks for the update.
I'd suggest a small change to the new post icons in the topic list. It's hard to see what's new vs old with that text change. Should be a colour change as well.

[greeneyed]

Thanks zim. Happy to take all suggestions, but any further changes would be a separate exercise, which might take a while.

[Manbush]

Ew don’t like the new mobile page (never like mobile pages) much prefer using the desktop page on my phone, is there an option to choose to go to desktop view as many sites have.

Of course

Where do I find the like button?

[sprintman]

Very unfriendly layout

[yeh raiders]

Will get used to it, but is there a way you can shrink the view, like zoom out? The listing of threads appears too big

Most browsers allow you to display at 100 per cent or variations on that. I used to display the forum at 125 per cent, but this version looks best at 100 per cent.

I love that with all the success GE has had in life he moonlights as first level helpdesk

[-TW-]

Have you tried turning it off and on again

[Dibbers]

Is it plugged in?

[Roger Kenworthy]

Dubby won't be impressed when he gets the minimum one hour service bill from GE. That's about $500

[Sid]

dubby can't log in? I'm liking this new board update already!

Have you turned on the Killswitch? No? Well there's the issue

This new look sucks. If it ain't broke....

[greeneyed]

Unfortunately the software was becoming so far out of date it was risking the stability and future convertibility of the site.
