Did this and now if I click on 'Home' it takes me to the Forums page straight off - not sure what I am doing wrong - unless there isn't a 'Home' page?
Is there a way to filter out the 'Chat' forums everywhere, for example when viewing the 'New Posts' section, i.e. only giving you posts from the fortean boards?
Yes. A long, long time ago we gave people the option of whether or not they wanted to see Chat. Quite a few didn't, so we removed it from their permissions list - that was on the old phpBB version though, so going back a way.My guess is that you're remembering something you once could do before the forum switched over to the XenForo platform some years ago.
I think they do, but--again--you are seeing an earlier version of the list when the post hadn't been made.
Hi All,
rev_dino checking in.
Please keep reporting any weird glitches or unexpected behaviour, and let us know if you have any questions.
The search function should work now, but let me know if you search for something and don't find what you expect.
In case anyone is interested, our new tech stack looks like this:
I think that's it, but let me know if there any questions.
- The web server is a pretty standard LAMP stack running in Amazon's Cloud (AWS)
- All web requests are served via Cloudflare's word class CDN
- All our DNS and SSL magic happens at Cloudflare too
- System emails flow through an email service called Sparkpost
- Web stats are tracked with Google Analytics
All of this is run by me, who is a professional DevOps Engineer based in Washington DC (although I'm originally from SE London), where I help run websites for a large non-profit.
Next up is resurrecting the CFI blogs!

where is the equivalent of the recent posts link ?
In some forums there's 2 runs of topics in date order so the latest post may be some way down the list. I think the top list may have been 'stickies' in the old forum & there was a line underneath but in the new one it's a continuous list. It's hardly a major issue though.
There was also a recent posts, that gave everything recently updated ... new posts listed only those updated since you last visited ?The equivalent for the 'New Posts' link in the old FTMB header is the 'What's new' link in the current header on the main forum page. Like the old 'New Posts' link, this one is visible at the top of the page at the whole-forums, specific forum or section, and individual thread levels.
Just barely got in. In Firefox I kept getting the homepage regardless of where I clicked, but using Internet Explorer finally let me in properly.

How about adding a FAVICON so it's easier to find the forum among all the TABs?
Please give me a forum name to check this. I presume you mean the first page of the forum.
There's quite a few. Here's some that have 2 runs in date order: ...
OK - I now understand what you're referring to ...
The difference is that the current layout doesn't insert a graphical line / separator clearly marking where the stickies end and the chronologically ordered listing of 'ordinary' threads begins.
The only visual cue you get for the stickies' segment is the little 'stick pin' icons to the right of the thread titles.
I hate to be tedious, but log out, delete any cookies with the words Forean and xenforo, clear the cache 'privacy' and restart the browser completely (restart you device if unsure). Log in again and see.
Thank, yup. Will report back.
Better late than never--and you've probably missed all the confusing glitches.
Could you have a click around and let me know whether you're experiencing any odd behaviour (from the board, not you)?
Nothing seems to not be working, other than it not working with Firefox... so that seems to be solid, A#1 Duke of New York stuff!

Anybody else experiencing the ghosting TOP OF PAGE arrow at bottom right?
Oop there it... oh it's gone.
No there it ... oh it's gone again. :ghunt:
Ever the contrarian, I immediately sought the equivalent-but-opposite Igor arrow that would take me from the top all the way to the bottom. Of course, none was forthcoming. Typical, I harrumphed, but then I recalled the "Jump to new" button, which is actually a much more useful function than the thing I was looking for.IIt's like a miniature 'Igor' who appears out of nowhere to ask, "Eh-heh, Eh-heh, Mathter - would you like to go all the way?" once you've given any indication of moving upward.
That's not nice. Very bad for your teeth.plaque
You've got a mike? .. do some beatboxing!Hello?....Hello? *bangs mike* is this thing on? *sound of feedback*
1) Good to see the board back up and running.
2) This is easily my most-visited site online.
3) Kudos to all the involved people who made this happen.
4) Suspect we need a virtual plaque in honour of those who made this happen or who have gone before...
