Just had an error message in the 'N Gauge Discussion' section



Also, the spacing in the 'Gallery' list of subjects is all wrong and the pics within each subject is a long list without ability to view the maximum per page

Sorry, just feeding back what I find

Quote from: Newportnobby on October 24, 2026, 10:07:17 AMThanks. All sorted now apart from the large icons, which is no issue for me.

Thanks from me too. I can live with the enlarged icons (might even make sure I hit the right ones now    ) but the recent pics banner was intrusive, along with the forum header and menus it was filling up my entire screen.

Thanks. All sorted now apart from the large icons, which is no issue for me.

Thank you for the feedback.  I was snoozing whilst 'NGF Tech' was busy saving the forum.  Some of the upgrades automatically add new features, so I've disabled the gallery box.

I'll look into the icons issue, as it's a bit dominating.

I've now made a new thread about all of this BTW. 

Morning all,

As many of you will know, there is a huge problem around the world with something called PHP - which is a programming language that websites use on web servers.  There have been huge vulnerabilities found in it, and websites have been urged to shut down or update to the latest version.

I asked for the help from an SMF wizard yesterday, and they quickly agreed to getting our site upgraded and compatible with the latest PHP version.  So, we're protected!  Hurrah! 

We're also going ahead with updating the many Modification Packages that we have added onto the main SMF forum, so you may see some changes.

The Alerts system is on the list to be done, as well as the SMF Trader system (what members can use to leave feedback on for N'porium sales).

Thanks for your patience and especially for your donations.  This has covered the work so far, which is just brilliant.  THANK YOU!!!

Chris/Tank.


Faults and Future Upgrades:
SMF Trade System
Alerts System
Header photo rotator - not working properly.
Boards - Some boards now showing an error when clicked.
Registration - Better way of stopping bot accounts.

I've pointed out the pics at the top which are annoying and really mess up the mobile phone screens. They also squeeze the ads which could be irksome for our advertisers
I got the 'Maintenance' message last night and have asked what exactly has been done e.g. Alerts fixed etc

I've started to get a Recent Items List at the top of my daily feed.
Is this due to recent changes and if so is there a way to remove it?

Also, the icons beneath a post, eg Thumbs up/down, heart, question mark etc, are now twice as big as they were yesterday.

Neither is a huge problem but just thought I'd point it out.

Cheers
Martin

Totally! If it's worth £1000 to you then that's awesome, hope you enjoy it (again)!

Just an update.  Someone who has a lot of experience in all things to do with 'Simple Machines Forum' will be helping to rescue the forum. 

Definitely no button or way to make an offer bar sending messages. Two didn't get a reply but when I offered £150 suddenly there was an Accept offer button.

I'm philosophical about paying that for it. I've got the money and little else needed for the layout bar a BoB when they appear, so i reasoned it would be a nice early 70th treat to myself! Sometimes money isn't everything.
