We are on the new server! It may take longer to update DNS settings for some people (up to 48 hours), but the software has been moved. I will be testing everything in the next few hours...

I will be moving the forum to a new server. The transfer of files will start around midnight on Friday. The move shouldn't take longer than couple of hours, but sometimes it takes longer to change DNS settings. This is to improve the speed of the website, and fix some of the issues we have with email notifications. 

Fixed! It was a problem with the database. 

               

 

I removed some duplicates and uploaded few new ones. Hope you like them. 

 

I uploaded some, but are they not too big?  : QUESTION :

I can see in the logs that the problem started few days ago. I am looking into it.....

Thanks Tim... I spent ages trying to change it, but there is no tab, page or option to do so?

 

I adjusted some settings, and it should work now. Click on 'Edit my Profile' button, then scroll down to the bottom. The last field is 'Occupation'. After changing it, click on 'Save Changes'. 

I fixed the problem, let me know if you still have any issues.

I am pleased to announce that khubner1 has joined the moderator team. He doesn't need an introduction, being part of the forum for over 3 years.

Welcome aboard!

The forum was down for most of today, but the hacking actually happened about 2 weeks ago.

The hackers used an exploit in the forum software and modified some of the system files. It wen't undiscovered for days until today when the forum stopped functioning. The exploit since has been fixed by IP.Board.

It took me most of the day to have the site restored mainly because the hacking went undetected for a number of days, and I could not use the latest backups. I had to manually restore the files using some of the older backups.

I don't think we lost any posts or images. The profile updates should also be up to date. Please let me know if you find something not working, and I will look into it.

Due to the popular demand we are going back to the old, and for most people better way to buy & sell stuff on 4GTuner.

Please post new items using forums in 4GTuner Marketplace. I will phase out the Classified section in the coming days.
Please check both the Forums, and the Classifieds when looking for stuff, as it will take time for the current adverts to expire.

Thank you all for you comments. Feedback is very important, as the changes are ultimately made to benefit the community.
Based on responses to this thread, I have a feeling how it will go, but lets have an official poll and decide together how to proceed.

I am glad you like it. Let me address some of the problems you found:

Or are we going to use another?? i quite like this 1 http://www.ipbforums..._ipb3/index.php

Yes, we can add another style and make it user selectable. I noticed lots of people like dark styles, but the problem is that some people just hate them. I would prefer to stay with neutral default style, like the one we have now, and make 'dark' style selectable.

Very happy with the new layout, only question is using this on my iphone today it wouldn't let me choose "Page X" rather it would take me to page 1 then last post page where i wanted to be.

When you click on the Thread it should take you to the last unread post. For this functionality to work you need to be logged in. I tested it on long threads, like the 'Happy Birthday' thread and it seem to work fine. If you are not logged in, it would take you to the first page, if you log in, it would take you to the last unread post.
You can also mark the whole board as read to make sure you always end up with the latests posts. To mark the board read, click on the four-squares icon in the top right-hand side corner on your mobile and select 'Mark All Read'

edit post isn't worker for me either..

PM me with the exact error

PC - There's some javascript issues with hidden buttons not in full view. eg when you click on the down arrow for your profile, looks like its chopped off and you cant see any buttons. Same for when you try to add pics to your Garage. Buttons and images are cut off.

What browser are you using? I tried to reproduce the problem with the latest Chrome & IE, but everything looks OK. IE has some problems with the links to 'Change Theme', and 'Mark Community' at the bottom, but this is rather minor problem - I notified the style creator, and waiting for the fix.

2. PC - The font size looks a little smaller and its not auto resizing to use the entire widescreen (Ive got a 24" widescreen on 1920x1080). There's about 2" either side of the outer forum window just showing plain grey background.

This is just the way the style was created - with fixed margins. It is exactly the same as the previous one we had. You can increase the fonts by pressing the CTRL button and the '+' sign (CTRL and '-' to decrease)

i lost all my recent messages?

That should not happen! The database was changed, but no data should be erased. Anyone else has this problem?

looks a bit different!! my avatar has changed too ... :S

The old software was using both the profile picture and an avatar, but with the upgrade there is only one pic representing a person. The new software used the profile pic when running the update.
