I am pleased to announce and as you can (hopefully!) see we have completed a significant update of forum software on DIYnot. The new software will provide new functionality plus update and improve the existing forum. Some larger parts of the update are still underway, specifically the media...

Hi Chris, can you PM me the username in question and I'll check it out.

That is correct, only admin (myself) has access to PM's, not the moderators. The moderation queue only shows relevant items that the mod/admin have permission to view, so private message moderation queue items don't show up for moderators.

In this case it was purely down to the number of times the character was used. Upper case and lower case were not individually the issue. Without too much detail, if various words / characters from certain character sets are used in sufficient frequency then that among other things can trip a...

I have found the cause of the issue, just working on a solution to stop it from happening in the future.

There have been no recent changes in that area of the software recently, but I will investigate.

I agree that the loss of the t - start time variable is unfortunate. This will be addressed in a forthcoming update.

I'm not sure what you mean, can you elaborate? Maybe screenshot? No changes have been made recently that would change what you see in regards to thanks/views.

There was, but it is no longer available. Similarly to the iOS app it only had very basic functionality. A coming update to the forum will improve mobile performance on the website further and provide the potential to install the site as a progressive web app as an alternative to a native app.

Quick update; this ad behaviour now been disabled and should stop occurring within the next 30mins, hopefully much sooner. Apologies for this hiccup.

I've just checked and I have experienced this as well (if not logged in). This shouldn't be happening, so thanks for reporting I will look into what's gone wrong.

For clarification: If you follow someone's profile on DIYnot, then their posts will show up in your News feed, which you can find here: https://www.diynot.com/diy/account/news-feed It's a way to curate your own page containing the posts/threads from users that post content you are interested...

We have never had pop up ads, logged in or not. The only change since the new year was a trial of ads between pages for users not logged in (limited to being shown once/hour).

I agree that's not acceptable. The current in-between page ads have now been turned off for all.

It's best to remain logged in if possible. Unfortunately with the amount of 'non-logged' in traffic and the associated server/infrastructure costs it wouldn't be viable to run a similar level of ads for guests as members, especially as these ads help subsidise the costs of logged in traffic...

Glad to hear it, for users logged in there has been no change to the ad positions / increase of slots / inter-page ads using any device (mobile, desktop or tablet).

Many less adverts are shown to users who are logged in, and no extra adverts have been added for literally years, specifically to make the user experience better for members. There are more & different ads for guests (users not logged in) and these do change from time to time. The full page...

We had some database issues yesterday (and overnight) unrelated to the Google incident, which meant the database wasn't running at full steam and intermittently slowed down, but hopefully we're back to normal today.

Regrettably that is not easily achieved at the moment. Currently you have to look at the profile of the user who uploaded the image and find the post they made that included the image. An upcoming update to the forum will add this feature.

Personal details removed.
