Liebe Mitglieder, liebe Besucher
Am Donnerstag, 5. November 2015 geht es bei uns wieder richtig rund (hoffentlich)! Gerne kündigen wir Euch folgende Arbeiten an:
- Aktualisierung der Forumssoftware von Version 4.0.13 auf 4.1.3 - dies ist ein Major Release und wird viele Probleme der Version 4.0 beheben und einige Neuerungen bringen. So zum Beispiel ein völlig überarbeiteter Editor sowie den "Activity Stream", welcher die bisherigen Funktionen wie "neue Beiträge usw." ablösen wird. Sämtliche Aenderungen unten stehend, jedoch in Englisch.
- Servermigration am 5.11.2015 um 20.00 Uhr: Wir migrieren sämtliche Foren auf einen neuen, noch leistungsstärkeren Server. Dies wird zu einem Unterbruch von 1-2 Stunden führen. Bestenfalls kann der Unterbruch auch nur 15 - 30 Minuten andauern.
- Mobile Apps: Diese haben wir in den vergangenen Tagen bereits aktualisiert. Trotzdem wird im Dezember nochmals ein Update folgen. Der Upload von Fotos ist im Moment nicht möglich, dies liegt jedoch am Plugin der Forumssoftware, wofür ebenfalls ein Update für die nächsten Tage versprochen wurde
- Mit dem Major Update gibt es auch ein Update des Templates, dadurch sind Darstellungsfehler in den ersten Stunden zu erwarten
- Wir rechnen mit der Fertigstellung sämtlicher Arbeiten bis Freitag Mittag
