SMF 2.1 Upgrade (upgrade is now live)

[namida]

Thanks for looking into the performance!

The forum has custom code, looks like you've all reeled it through the update to 2.1.

A lot of it was from add-ons, although those needed a few tweaks to be 2.1.4 compatible. The few minor changes I could see from looking through Staff Discussion, I reimplemented.

Hmm, Strato sent me a PM this morning  (10AM my time zone, PST) and the current Forums software version doesn't seem to respect user settings like before. Before the upgrade, I have had notifications of a PM by email and a pop-up on the Forums enabled. They still are enabled, meaning I haven't changed those settings, but yea, I never got an email notifying me of a PM or any pop-up on the Forums telling me I got a PM. As a matter of fact, I didn't realize I got a PM until I noticed the 1 notification on the "my messages" at the top of the home page and about 13 hours after it was sent to me. The 1 is pretty small and barely noticeable as well, though that's probably nothing a bigger browser zoom setting can't fix.

edit: Checked Gmail's spam inbox and nope, no PM emails in there, as it should be, since I have a filter saying to not mark LF emails as spam from several years ago anyway

edit 2: One setting I did change was ticking the box for "when i receive a reply to a personal message" and then clicking "save." Maybe this will fix not getting an email when other members PM me. Though, I sent myself a PM and got a notification email after enabling the setting, so yea, perhaps this has been sorted out now. Let's see!

The broken posts pre-date the move to lemmingsforums.net (specifically, ones imported from lemmingsforums.com); they were always a bit hacky in the first place. I'll see what (if anything) can reasonably be done about this.

I might be mistaken, but I am fairly certain I remember seeing the post being non-broken in that thread recently before the upgrade.

I didn't say they were always broken; I said they were always hacky (ie: not really done properly, just with an "anything that works" kind of approach). In particular, the raw message data for them in the database contained a pure HTML rip from the old site, instead of proper BBcode etc. This was necessary due to being unable to access a database backup from .com at the time.

Something in the SMF 2.1 upgrade must've not played nicely with this (whereas SMF 2.0 was fine with it - either because of a difference between them, or because it was specifically the upgrade process that caused issues).

I've had to disable IPv6 access to the site, as it's been reported non-working and I don't have any way to test it. (This should be unnoticable during general use of the site, as your browser should just fall back to IPv4 anyway.)
