Forum software (somewhat) updated

[Lennart Sorth]

As I now finally have time, I have started the process of getting the forum software updated.

This is a long path, involving also having to move to a different server running a newer Operating System, but for now I have upgraded the forum here to the newest possible on this Operating System / server.

I have done the upgrade many times in my virtual environment, but as always - virtual is never *really* the same as the real world, so a few issues did crop up.  Currently it looks reasonably usable - at least until I get to move to the new server.

I have noticed a weird artefact at login where it sometimes issues errors about database updates, but if you reload the page, you get in (which you must have done to read this). Anyway, I am aware of that one.

Also, the post edit screen seems to have lost a lot of its editing features - this is somewhat worse, but I'd prefer to just get on getting the whole thing up to the latest available version, before diving into understanding and fixing this.

Once I feel my virtual environment can perform a good update to the new server and OS, I will get on and get that done too.

I'm seeing some strange glitches, e.g. after posting, all posts show as 'new', but overall everything works! Great work!

Do you still see that problem ?

At some point through this upgrade I changed the static part of the name for the cookies - I guess if you posted over that time the 'missing' cookie may have caused that.

I have in the meantime found the missing labels for the Post/Save buttons

Great, we have a "post" button again!!

Edit: Yes, I still see that issue...
