      Tonight at or around 19:00 EST I'll upgrade nodebb, the platform this forum is using.

      The downtime in theory should be minimal. In practice, who knows, so brace for impact.

      I'll make an extra backup ahead of time. Thanks!

        The upgrade seems to have broken everything for me. I'll edit in a screen shot in one sec.

        It does this on every skin I try and the font is really tiny now.

          @icanbeyourmuse The upgrade hasn't happened yet. That's the skin bug we've been talking about over here that we're hoping the forum upgrade will help with.

            @roz Ah. It was working fine for me yesterday. It just busted today. So, I thought it upgraded.

              @icanbeyourmuse Yeah, it just started affecting me today.

              What I think has happened is that the templates updated, but our nodebb version is older, so something got screwed up.

              I'm tempted to merge the current branch and run the upgrade script from work, but if something explodes I won't have time to troubleshoot it.

              Mondays, go figure.

                    @ganymede I'll speed up the upgrade. Emergency downtime at noon EST.

                    This isn't usable.

                        The drop down menu has switched from right side convenient thumb spot to heretical left side thumb evil spot of heresy.

                        So fire. Much death. Wow!

                        ... no other fires visible yet. WILL SEE.

                          @jennkryst Play a bit with the templates, maybe you'll find one you can agree with on a religious level!

                              Also, we're on 1.7.4 now which is the latest and greatest.

                              It's not very well done but a list of new features in this version is here. I wish they had an incremental human-readable list back starting at least at 1.5.x where we upgraded from.

                                @cobaltasaurus Change the template! We got a few. We can get more if needed.

                                  The update fixed that horrible formatting thing, at least. Hurray!

                                      @arkandel pretty much all the templates are bad for me. The lights are too bright and the darks too hard to read.

                                        I am about to swap us off of nodebb's default theme onto another one. Seeing if that'll help things out.

                                          We are back to right side drop down (huzzah!)

                                          Edit: we WERE, now no longer. Tricksy.

                                            It would appear this skin has only two modes. Light or Dark. 😐
                                            But if people hated the new default nodebb so much, maybe it's better? I dunno.
                                            The other themes look super weird tho.
