It would lead to breaking of forum rules like bullying, discussing other events, etc, right under the mods noses, Spengler. It's a feature on the forum that has always been switched off, primarily because off some of the issues mentioned above. As wjbleming said it's very difficult for us as moderators to deal with any issues that occur in direct messenger format so the organisers made the decision based on that.

evilfairie Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Came home today to a dozen emails telling me Raylenth had posted stuff. Turned that off pronto, I mean, I love you Raylenth but my inbox would get full pretty quick if I left that feature on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylenth Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 QS I've just emailed you a couple of screen caps of issues I've just had with the forum going mental. I'm back on now so it was only momentary but I thought you might want to see the error messages anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I just remembered this as well, I don't know if this happens to anyone else but the time between pressing the submit button on a post and it actually going up seems like ages, it definitely takes a lot longer for comments to be posted.

I mean was its purpose to improve something? Invision considered the old Software outdated and was no longer providing security updates or fixing errors. There were Problems with the search function and Access from mobile devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 There's still some Background Migration going on. It should be completed at some Point tomorrow hopefully. Then things should go faster again. If you Encounter an error like search crashing etc. that should stop after the indexing is completed too. We've been informed by Invision that the signatures will be back when this is completed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I am thinking it is - the admin Panel Looks completely different too, sorry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
