All,

The website has been updated to the new forum software, Xenforo 1.2.1.

For the time being I have discontinued Tapatalk until I am sure this software is running properly.

John, my browser (Internet Explorer), went somewhat squirrely with the new upgrade yesterday. It said my browser "out of date"? It works normally everywhere but AW.

No longer have the bar on top (to select type settings bold, italic, underline, type-size-color etc.). Warfare badges wings etc. no longer in avatar box. I also suddenly lost some ~550 "LIKES" from the totals.

I downloaded the "free" CHROME thingie as suggested, but it made no improvement. I'm CompuDumb so what do I have to do to recover from this 'upgrade'?

I can answer that one; all the other rep is now gone, so all the "Funny," "Agree," and "Informative" ratings you'd received are now gone, and only the "Likes" remain. On the plus side, all the negative rep is gone too.

I disabled all the changes I made to the stock forum software while we worked on the server.

- no Tapatalk add on for those that use that app on their smartphone

- wings under your name will be added back shortly

- post ratings modification was disabled. Some will have seen some of their likes disappear. They will be back when I reinstall that mod.

As for web browser being out of date. I am unsure of your software and settings. The new software uses a new update to the code for you to type replies and posts, maybe your browser JavaScript wasn't compatible. Latest of any of the browsers should not have any issues with the website.

Well, sounds like a fair tradeoff. At least the upgrade didn't reduce my retirement $$$!

BzB must be logging into AW from NMCI...a web browser that's terminally out of date.

Move forward or get left behind.

Fear not, I came to work this morning to find my machine was upgraded to Win 7. Hurrah. Except that you can't actually log in and NMCI can't connect to it to fix it. <sigh>

Well that's helpful advice in solving the problem... just have to hang in 'til one of my CompuWhiz sons available to square away or replace this browser (Internet Explorer).
BzB, left behind!

Yes, in the Navy's sad attempt to upgrade their operating system to only one generation behind the latest and greatest, they have locked me out of half my applications, made my computer pester me with pop ups, and hopelessly bogged down my sad little NMCI computer. NMCI needs to be scrapped. The only advantage that the Navy gained from it is a global address book, and even that doesn't apply to seagoing commands that use their own intranet. Oh, and I can print all my weather and notams to Oklahoma from Patuxent River (sorry, trees).

Unless you have a Lexmark desk top printer which was provided by NMCI a few years back. Windows 7 doen't have the driver to support my NMCI printer, so I can't use my NMCI printer on the NMCI network anymore....

NMCI should change their logo so it says "The Fleet Serves Us"!!
