Hello everyone,

Apologies for not being around much of late; some big family stuff has been taking priority (a big thank you to the moderator team for all their support - it's very much appreciated).

This Friday I'll be taking CC offline for a few hours to do a major upgrade - starting at around 8:30am

It's a ground-up rebuild of the original software with some new features, improved mobile interface, and a better add-on system for future expansion. Some of the benefits/new features include:
  • Improved mobile support
  • Emoji support
  • Enhanced message editing
  • Browser tab alerts
  • Improved member tooltip
  • Attachments show in thread previews
  • Enhanced What’s New
  • New media embedding features
  • Quick thread (start a new thread by clicking in title box)
  • HTML 5 input types
  • Browser Push notifications
  • Reactions (enhanced likes)
  • Content bookmarks (tag content to find it later)
  • Articles (static content we can develop to help cyclists new and old)
  • Similar Threads
The layout is changing a bit too, and whilst it may feel a bit chunky to start with, you should get used to it fairly quickly and hopefully the changes will make CC easier to read and use.

After the upgrade if you notice anything that doesn't appear to be working properly or you have any questions about the new layout, please post a thread in the Support Forum (this way answers may help others too).

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Cheers,
Shaun

All the prep-work is done - I'm going to start the core upgrade at 14:30 (need a coffee first! :cuppa:).

The site will be unusable for a short while then closed whilst I do all the background work. I expect it to take several hours.

Cheers,
Shaun
