Andy135 Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Hi all, Within the next week or so we'll be upgrading to a new version of our forum software, which offers a range of security, stability and functionality improvements. In particular this will bring web-based push notifications to users direct to the home screen of your phone, even if your browser is closed or you're not on the Offshore Outlaws forum pages. This is a significant benefit - no more need to open your browser just to check how many Likes your post got, for example. When the upgrade is complete you'll be given the opportunity to opt in/out of mobile notifications the next time you log in. As I understand it these notifications will not work for IOS users however due to a restriction on web-based push notifications from Apple themselves. Wanted to call this out in advance to avoid disappointment 🙂 captin slows old outlaw and Saintly Fish 2 Quote

Andy135 Posted June 16, 2021 Author Posted June 16, 2021 The forum upgrade took place today. Let me know if you see anything strange or out of place and I'll look into it. For those of us who stay logged in you won't automatically be prompted about web-based push notifications, so you can activate them manually in the Notifications settings under Account/Account Settings/Notification Settings then scroll down to find the Notification Types Available options, and select Push.

Andy135 Posted June 22, 2021 Author Posted June 22, 2021 We'll shortly be testing out some of the new Achievements functionality that arrived with the recent upgrade. You'll notice some additions to profiles and some automated rules for earning Badges and Ranks. All feedback welcome. Quote
Maverick Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Ranks were already available, we use them on pbsbac for instance new posters get to level "dogfish" so don't post to much over there or you will lose that tag Edited June 22, 2021 by Maverick Quote

However they're now an integral part of the new Achievements functionality in 4.6.0 and I haven't yet found a way to turn them off in isolation, so we'll be experimenting with them for now. Quote

It is working fine on Firefox 64 (89.0.1) and Windows 10. I wish I could say the same for my broadband, now down to 12Mbit and a very high BER, waiting for Vodafone to get those lazy BT gits to fix it. Currently, got my iphone plugged into the PC and using 4G Edited June 22, 2021 by GPSguru Andy135 1 Quote
