Some issues after Upgrade to latest version.


High-End

Recommended Posts

First of all: Love the new look!

Yesterday our forum was updated to the latest version, as far as I know without any issues.

Our members checked the new look and feel and two things they noticed.

  1. In Chrome, images in a post do not show (https://www.high-endforum.nl/topic/16737-uitnodiging-vergelijk-klassieke-draaitafels/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-527953). It does work in Firefox
  2. All of a sudden the bold topic titels of topics with new replies in the Actieve Topics module on our front-page have disappeared. Because this module shows the Topic Creation Date instead of the Date Last Reply (Why?) it is not clear which topic has a new reply and has not been read by the visiting member.

Those image are served over HTTP, not HTTPS, so they might get blocked for security reasons.

I think this was changed for performance reasons.

So Chrome blocks them but Firefox not? Make cense, from a Google point of view.

Edit: You are right, just tested this.

What is changed for performance issues? The Bold Topic Titles?

Chrome will indeed block insecure content, so if your site is running https and you have images referencing http, they will not show. You can prevent users from doing this if needed by switching on "Allow only secure images?" In ACP->System->Settings->Posting

Opentype is indeed referring to the bold topic titles there.

Hello Marc,

OK, I will leave the way we accept images as is. It is up to our users which browser they prefer.

About the Active Topics module, is there a way to show the Last Reply Date instead?

Any changes to existing blocks would require customisation to achieve. There is no setting to change this at present

It’s not just a browser issue. The entire internet is moving to secure delivery of web pages. Eventually all your visitors will not see those images anymore or even worse: they might get warnings that these page are potentially fraudulent and the pages (not just the images) get blocked entirely for the users. 

In other words: You will have to move to secure content delivery at some point. In fact, you are already late to the party.

Our forum runs httpS, the site where these images are stored is not.

I'm not going to force the use of httpS images for now.

The other thing that is changed that when clicking to topic (title) it self it will not go to the latest post. Very annoying....

This is now a per user setting:

image.png

 

You can set the defaults for users who have no changed this in ACP -> Members -> Profiles -> When a member clicks an item link.
