Forum Software Updated Aug 2018

[clintonman]

The forum software has been updated to the latest release. The whole process took a little bit over 1 hour. If you encounter any problems report them here.

That explains why my "Board Style" changed back to default.

Thank you Clinton!
I found a link that might help with the internal links issue.
Looks like you need to edit the .htaccess file to redirect http:// to https://

how can i change at once this string http:// to https:// in my forum?
If you are referring to links within your board then, as far as I am aware, the only way to do it "at a stroke" is to do a find and replace in the posts table of your database - but unless you know exactly what you are doing there are many dangers with that - and remember that not all links that have been posted on your board will be internal and not all of those may be https.

By far the easiest method is to leave them as they are and have a redirect in your .htaccess file.

Since this latest update I am no longer able to remove a previous attachment (File).
If I go do a previous post an edit it, the file that is present in the post does not show in the Attachments.
Uploaded images show (some not all) but not files.

The U3DA cubes theme has quotes tile the quote icon over the div - looks kinda weird.

Fixed. You may have to press the shift key while resetting the page to get it.

Problem with the forums is "https://" vs "https://www"
Already is set to do https to the best of our abilities.

Did favicon using butterfly png file that was already in the forums folder for that purpose.

Not sure if you understood what I was reffering to.
What I was hoping for was a redirect from http to https
Meaning that it adds an s to http if that is possible.
We have 9 years of links that do not work anymore.

More importantly though, editing prior post with attachments is really messed up since the update.
There may be a clue to what is wrong. Notice the i in between the M and B and the K and B?

Disregard the clue, I was not familiar with MiB
The unit symbol for the mebibyte is MiB. Technically a megabyte (MB) is a power of ten, while a mebibyte (MiB) is a power of two, appropriate for binary machines.

It would be helpful to see one of those links that don't work anymore.

I think I found a solution to the Attachment issue:
