What's in the upgrade?

I added a new thread to the Frequently Asked Questions forum:

FAQ - ScubaBoard Search

ScubaBoard Search :FAQnew: New in ScubaBoard 2021 This may look like the old one most of us ignored because it was so poor, but there is a new search engine under the hood. OK, it looks the same... so far. It is faster and far more accurate but don't stop there. Click advanced and there are...

Different ways to view threads :FAQkeyconcept: FAQ Key Concept As we see ScubaBoard; forum categories contain forums, forums contain threads, and threads contain posts. But our cloud computer servers see it all differently. All the "content" (data) on ScubaBoard is stored in a large and...

@Akimbo great work on the update/upgrade! Thank you for your hard work.

One of the features that the old system had that I do miss in the upgrade is that you used to be able to look at the bottom of a thread and see the number of posts remaining. Similarly, on the "New Posts" page you used to be able to see something along the lines of "You are viewing 21-30 of 164 posts." at the bottom of the page.

Obviously, neither of these are critical, but they were (for me at least) a handy feature.

I would have to ask @Miyaru about that one. I can hack my way through some really basic HTML code but adding something like that is way out of my league.

There is a nice feature relating to long threads that I do like, being able to jump to any page:

After resizing the image with the corner handles I manually edit the BB-code by adding align="left". This and a lot more will be available when xenForo fixes the bug in their code, which I learned today that they are aware of.

@Miyaru upgraded ScubaBoard to xenForo 2.2.8 which fixed this bug.

Is this a new feature? I just noticed that the location is a hypertext link. Clicking on it opens a tab or window your browser with the location shown in Google Map.

We are actually a little North of the little village of Mendocino, but that is the mailing address.

I noticed that feature awhile ago. It’s not new but has been there since the upgrade or shortly after.

Because I always access SB on either my phone or an iPad, I would have never known it was there had you not mentioned it. There is nothing on those formats that make it stand out as a hyperlink.
