    Sorry about the late notice for that down time. I wanted to do the upgrade before the NZ v India Test started.

    What changed?

    Software

    We're on the latest version of nodebb (we went from version 12.2 to 13.2 for anyone that gives a shit)

    I don't think there's any new features that we care about. However they have fixed a lot of bugs

    If you see anything that has stopped working please mention it in this thread


    Server

    The forum is generally fast. However the server would struggle at times during more popular matches

    We have doubled the RAM, doubled the CPU and have more bandwidth now (storage is not an issue for at least 5 years)

    Thank you to the patreon supporters for that one.

    Because of their generosity we are more than covering costs. Everything they donate goes to TSF operating costs.. so we'll build up a buffer now


    Config

    A couple of small config changes:

    I've moved the 'Rugby Matches' forum. It's no longer a sub category of 'Sports Talk'. A lot of people were having trouble seeing it.. I think the way nodebb show sub forums is a bit crap so it's easier to find at the top level:

    I also added an icon for the home page. There some useful stuff on there now after years of neglect

    • SR Teamsheets
    • SR Highlights
    • NZ SR team injury info
    • NZ SR teams results history
    • Forum leaderboard for the needy posters chasing likes (this is broken, will fix soon)
    • Promoted posts whenever anybody bothers writing more than a couple of paragraphs

      Cheers fella,

      It certainly seems faster these days. Means I can get to wrong opinions so much faster than before 🙂

          Is it just me or are tweets not showing for others too? I just see an empty speech bubble (on windows desktop chrome and android chrome).

            @Bones It's not just you! I also see the empty speech bubble. I checked on chrome, opera and firefox.

              Also can't seem to copy and paste an image. Comes up with an error about parsing?

                  Ok, I'll have a look tomorrow

                  It looks like there's 2-3 plugins that stopped working

                                    Looking good, got a good speed bump on that upgrade across the board.

                                      SHould definitely consider some merch. Caps, beer coolers, keyrings...

                                        Thanks, but no need. We are comfortably covering costs, even with the larger server capacity. A small amount, regularly, from a large group of posters has really made a difference.

                                        That said, Fern merch could be funny if nothing else. Open to suggestions 🙂

                                          Looking good, got a good speed bump on that upgrade across the board.

                                          Thanks again to the people donating, it's much appreciated.

                                          honestly, would donate more if it would help. Great value from this place, super entertaining.

                                          SHould definitely consider some merch. Caps, beer coolers, keyrings...

                                          Thanks, but no need. We are comfortably covering costs, even with the larger server capacity. A small amount, regularly, from a large group of posters has really made a difference.

                                          That said, Fern merch could be funny if nothing else. Open to suggestions 🙂

                                          Much as it pains me to say it, some of the GAGR stuff was good

                                          I'm not an alcoholic, I just drink when McCaw's offside

                                          Using the logo could be neat
                                          keychains

                                          black caps with the TSF logo (I'm sure there are heaps of places that do that)
