Just upgraded forums again

Recommended Posts

Everything seems to have gone smoothly, but please let me know if you notice any problems.

Here is a list of improvements/changes:

 

There is now logic to prevent double-posting when the initial post encounters an error on submit
    
Moderators can now remove all followers from an item
    
Admins now have a setting to have members automatically follow content they start or reply to. Members can optionally override this.
    
The editor will now show a message if a link that can be embedded (image, video, etc.) failed to embed for some reason.

 

When a member is banned/suspended the system now shows a more friendly page with information on their ban. Previously it showed a permission denied page.
    
Redesigned ticket listing in Commerce
    
New My History view in Commerce
    
Security Questions for account security

 

Remember me cookie is now 90 days rather than 7 days
    
New setting to make providing a billing address optional for purchases in Commerce.
    
Personal conversation management improvements:
        Can now filter personal conversations to just read/unread.
        Can now move multiple personal conversations into a different folder at once.
        Can search by recipient/sender name.
    
Notifications about Calendar events now include the event date.
    
Email digests.
    
When you mouseover the badge showing who liked a post, you will now see a larger list of who liked that post. You can still click to get the full list.
    
Ratings now show half-stars for the average (for example, if one user votes 3 stars and another 4, it will show 3 and a half stars) and there is now an indication if you have rated something.
    
A "Preview" button has been added to the post editor which shows how the post will appear after BBCode processing. Tabs show how the post will appear on desktop, tablet and mobile.
    
Users can now choose to ignore notifications for being mentioned in posts by particular users.
    
You can now filter searches by specific forums/categories.
    
The way dates are formatted can now be customised by language strings. For example, if you want to change the date format to "DD-MM-YYYY" that is now possible. With this change, the new default is US-style ("March 4, 1992") rather than the previous European-style ("4 March 1992").
    
Plus many adminstrative and security improvements
