  • Apolyton is upgrading to vBulletin 4.2.0

    Apolyton is upgrading to vBulletin 4.2.0. vBulletin 4.2.0 comes with with a new way to customize the forum menu bar so that I can put there in a drop down menu links to the games we cover. vBulletin 4.2.0 comes also with a mobile style. Let's see how that turns out. To upgrade Apolyton from vBulletin 4.1.10 to vBulltein 4.2.0 we must close the forums for a short while.

    This is the plan:

    • Close the forums.
    • Backup the database.
    • Upload the new vBulletin 4.2.0 files.
    • Upgrade the forums.
    • Fix the most urgent problems.
    • Open the forums.
    • Fix the less important problems.


    Preferably, I should upgrade when nobody is watching, but I must also have time for that, so I'll start next Friday 21:00 GMT+1 (my local time). I expect to need an hour for that.

      I notice that, to date, you haven't implemented the NoMobius patch. What can we expect?

      It looks as if you might need to upgrade bot protection. The OTF front page is full of an advertising spambots threads.

  • Apolyton has upgraded to vBulletin 4.2.0

    Apolyton has upgraded to vBulltetin 4.2.0. We still have to fix some issues.

    The menu of the downloads has to be rebuilt and some menu items are still missing. Also there are some problems with keeping the download tab selected.

    The menu of the MP Arena has also be fixed so far it is displayed on top of the Apolyton forum menu, probably I have also rebuild it.

    The List and the Apolyton University have been removed from the Apolyton navigation tab bar. We went out of space for them with the new What's New? tab. Since The List and the Apolyton University aren't that active anyway, and new What's New? tab seems to be more interesting I think this is the better choice.

    For some reason on the forum home the side bar with all the news item is now under the forum list. It is possible that this is only true for certain browsers with certain settings.

    Merging the existing styles with the vBulletin modifications did not cause any trouble this time. So now you can select a mobile style from the bottom style chooser. Maybe I will adjust the color choice of this, but probably it is fine as it is.

    The forum has now a manager for the top navbar, so I we can reorganize the links and menus there....

    Apolyton is upgrading to vBulletin 4.1.10. vBulletin 4.1.10 comes with new features, fixes, and makes style customization easier. However this comes with a small cost. To upgrade Apolyton from vBulletin 4.1.5 to vBulltein 4.1.10 we must close the forums for a short while. This is the plan...

    Around January 28, 2012 01:00 GMT+1 Apolyton crashed down. The reason was that we ran out of space. Looks like you uploaded to many big attachments. Well, I freed some space. Well, it took me some time to figure this out. And probably it didn't help that I was a bit sick. We were shortly back on Monday, but had problems with posts displaying, we restored the site from a recent backup, so your noise from Monday is gone. But well, we still have the search index , which probably took the longest to fix...
