Thanks Laurent. There's something funny going on indeed with the permissions in the hangar. Give me a minute to fix it.

That's super fast Greg. Now I don't need to go and get a drink after sending a PM. Well done and thanks.

Thank you John. Yes indeed, you should see a significant speed boost for all processes where the server automatically emails someone, like sending a PM. Somehow I never got the PHP mailer to work properly on our previous host. Here it works fine out of the box.

Thanks to everyone who keeps reporting. This is a huge and complicated site with 3 systems all intertwined (site, hangar and forums) and it is impossible for me to test all possible configurations for all access right levels myself.

Some more known issues:
  • The forums give an error when an image is wrapped in img BBCode tags --> fixed
  • The upload page of the hangar looks a bit crooked in the new framework. --> on my to-do list

Greg, the title and short description input fields in the upload page are very small indeed, which makes composing and editing very difficult. There's bags of room to the left, could they be made bigger please?

I like the new website. The only thing I don't really like is I have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to see the latest new files. The way the old website was laid out I didn't need to scroll at all.

Yes that's the plan. For now, you should be able to make the input fields larger with the handle in the bottom-right corner of the field (looks like a triangle) before you start typing, but that's definitely just a temporary workaround.

I understand. It's why I mentioned the difficult balance between informing new visitors and keeping the site dynamic enough for regular visitors in my briefing. On the previous site, focus was too much on regular visitors with little introduction to what we're actually doing here for newbies.

If it bothers you to scroll down to the footer to see the latest files, it may be easier to just go to the "Files by Newest" page via the menu, where the Latest Files module is located in the sidebar together with the Popular Files module. You could also bookmark that page.
