Forum downtime

[SchmitzIT]

Tomorrow, Tuesday July 16th, the forum will be temporarily down for maintenance and upgrading. In the process, we will upgrade the forum to the latest version of XenForo, and move it to a new server.

This involves updating DNS records, which can take several hours once initiated. The forum will not be available during this time, but we will try to ensure the downtime will be minimal.

A HUGE thank you to SchmitzIT for this forum upgrade!

We're still setting up some of the theming but overall a colossal step forward (try to see the forum on mobile now!)

Hi, there seems to be a problem with a "login.gif" image - it seems to have an incorrect url - I get this incorrect url: https://cyreneforum.com/threads/forum-downtime.8924/styles/default/Cyrene/login.gif
when I am on https://cyreneforum.com/threads/forum-downtime.8924/

Not sure, when or where it should be displayed, but it seems it is shown on different pages when I am not logged in. Looks like a missing slash ("/") before "styles" where the image is defined.

Oh, and another thing: I think it would be cool if "http" requests were redirected to "https" if possible

Thanks! I fixed it. I'll see what can be done about the https defaults.

Thanks Now, maybe it would be better to use different font color - the image is quite dark.
Regarding http redirect - it seems to work now

You're the best @SchmitzIT !!!

Unfortunately, that sort of stuff is beyond my skillset. But Maybe Kris can provide a new/lighter image. I still have to fix the style, though, which has been delayed due to my vacation (and issues at my job that are interrupting said vacation, haha). That might also be a potential fix for the color clashes with the image.

Well, looking at the html source, the color seems to be defined by the css class ".notice.notice--primary", but not sure what the effect would be if changed to white or something I mean - not sure what a notice is on this forum.

I am keeping an eye on this thread and am *actively* working towards improving the visuals with Shawna =)
