Forum Maintenance - 22nd Jan 2022 @ 12:30 PM UTC

Just to let folks know, I'm going to be doing various updates and upgrades to Flarum and the underlying VPS for around an hour on the 22nd Jan.

I'm hoping now that we're well past the pre-release versions of Flarum that the upgrade shouldn't be too painful, but will keep people updated.

Updates will be posted on the status page here: https://status.atlas-media.co.uk/issues/2022-01…dates-upgrades/

Maintenance has been completed.

As part of this some suggestions were also completed, one being to add the Thread preview extension, so there's now a rich text toggle (Seems to be enabled by default so you'll now see your post without the need to preview it. It's a bit buggy but it's better than it was). Some new functionality like spoilers and some other formatting needs the right text editor disabled.

!A nice new spoiler for example!<

We've also added the super sticky add-on and made it so all threads that were previously stickied are now only tag stickied with the exception of 3 threads that are "Super Sticky" and display globally, all be it actually in a much better format anyway. This will mean it'll mimic a bit more of the behaviour we saw on alternate forum software solutions.

Finally the markdown tables have also been added, and combined with the Rich text edit view, makes adding tables to post substantially easier than before.
