Major Website Upgrade Welcome to the Downeaster Yachts Forum Forums

As everyone will be noticing the website has had some significant changes. I have done a long overdue upgrade to both the basic website software and the forum software. I guarantee that we will have some teething issues. Please let me know if you find any bugs or stuff not working. I am actually working through stuff just like you guys as this is such a major version jump that I am learning to use it now also.

Right now I am trying a new layout for the forums. Let me know if you like this or not.. It is a minor matter to change it back to a standard layout. Also this upgrade is problematical in that the developers removed some features according to them as part of the free download forum. Those features I will need to purchase to re-implement them.. I'm not to worried about that but I'm not sure what functionality is missing in this new version. Let me know if you run across stuff we could do before and now can't..

One of the major bugs I was trying to fix with this upgrade was the posting of links in forum posts being broken. This is now fixed. I have tested it and it works.. If you still have an issue with it let let me know. But as of right now I am considering it fixed.

There seems to be an issue with the TinyMCE editing controls for creating posts. I am working at resolving that. Normal posting with basic options still works. Also there is a totally new image and media uploading subsystem. The controls for that are under the text area when you are creating a new post.

Just let me know what issues you run into if any and we will work through them.

Update... I have fixed the editing menu issues. It was a bit of brutal work to figure out what the issue was.. An incompatible wordpress plug-in. i will have to create a new contact page on the main website as it was the form generation plug-in used there that was causing the issue.
