Infrastructure updates

Post by mataniko »

Over the last few days the ScummVM team has been working hard on upgrading our infrastructure. During the process all of the supporting sites have been updated, cleaned up and secured with SSL support.

If you run into any problems with the Forums, Wiki, Translations, Bug Tracker, or any other website related issues please let us know. For minor issues feel free to post on this thread. For major problems use the bug tracker using the Web component to let us know.

What happened to the 'View all unread posts' button in the forum? It was really useful.

Well it's about time. Nice work.

Ack. Don't like avatars on the right side, though. Never did like designs that took that approach. Oh well. Still an improvement.

Nor I, but it is just a couple of CSS changes to fix.

BTW, I just noticed a missed element. The options tab at the bottom of the full post editor still has the original Prosilver blue.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, the style has been updated to fix the avatars and unstyled elements.

Looks good, but what is missing is a link to the main ScummVM site.
Not that it's too difficult to manually change the URL, but the old forum design had that link up there, and at least I used it sometimes.

Thanks mataniko for improving the forums!

One question, can you add me to the ScummVM Team group in the forums as well so I don't have to have seperate moderator privileges and just be a member of the team group?

The difference between "new posts" and "no new posts" is hardly noticeable anymore. it's just the slight color change on the border around the circle. This makes those two icons very hard to differentiate.

The base theme icons loaded instead of the new icons. I just pushed a fix that loads the icons correctly. Thanks!

The image and logo on the top left of the forum pages appears to be broken. Now instead of the image I see the "Maniac Mansion kids" text in light orange.

Oddly enough, some minutes ago, I still had the logo, and now I get that text too.

I fixed the logo, you may need to refresh with cache disabled to see changes if you're not seeing them yet.

Should the forums display a favicon? They seem to have stopped doing that since the update.

On an unrelated note, is there a chance someone could clean up the announcements and pinned topics in General Discussion? You currently have to scroll through 15 (!) of those, many of which haven't seen any activity in months or years, before you get to the active topics.
