hey send me a screen shot so I can see, I user a Mac and Safari and in the forum things are bigger then everywhere else. All user posted content will be slightly bigger then the default text everywhere else one the site. OR Should be... example is the best way for me to see... I'll attach a sample on how it looks here.

I changed the font to Inter, seems to open up a little bit.. see what you all think about that.

gotcha.. ill look in to it.. There is a site Text size, that adapts internally for certain things (ex. headers, menus etc). This default size is baked in for the entire site. We also have the option to increase user input size.. so you will notice the forums might be or feel slightly bigger then other parts of the site because I already have increased it. Also bumping the size up im starting to see some shifts in things. Saying all that, we could A) try another font B) I can look over the css and see what I can adjust in a custom template. or c) Both haha. Ill do some digging...

Yes, once the dust settles from the move and & see where the tax is on the server, I'll start tweaking it. from when we went live I actually increased font size. I do believe it is 1pt larger then the old site now. Im sure lots of little adjustments will be made over the coming days, weeks.....

took way longer, which you could say is expected but not expected 😁 Im sure there will be little things ill be changing over the next day or so as well as tuning the server. Please comment if you notice anything or have questions.

If all goes as planned, I will begin the migration on Monday, April 14, 2025, at 12 PM EST (UTC-5). The migration is estimated to take approximately 4 hours. During this time, the site will enter maintenance mode and remain inaccessible until the migration is completed. Once everything is fully migrated and set up, the DNS will be updated to point to the new server. I will update the maintenance page if the migration takes longer than expected or if any issues arise. If there are any changes to the migration schedule, I will post updates here. Thanks

My pleasure..

Welcome aboard! Glad to have you.

Hey everyone, I’m excited to share that I’ll be upgrading our forum software to the latest version soon. This is a major update focused on backend improvements, enhanced security, and overall modernization. While I’m working hard to make the front end as close as possible to what we’re all accustomed to for this initial migration, you will notice some changes. Here’s what to expect: Classic and Modern ThemesThe current look and feel of the forum will be called “WPX Classic” and will remain the default for now. After the migration settles, I’ll introduce a “WPX Modern” theme. You’ll have the option to switch between Classic and Modern based on your preference. Even in the Classic theme, the forum will gain a more modern, functional experience. Key ImprovementsWhile there is an endless list of little things that are improved on the front & back end, here are a few of the key improvments. Mobile: A significantly improved mobile browsing experience and App Setup. Dark Mode: A native dark mode option will be available from launch. My Streams Menu: A customizable view for sorting articles, posts, topics and even tags, moving beyond just showing “Unread All.” Performance Improvements: Along with the software upgrade, I’m also moving the forum to a new server. This upgrade to both the software and hardware should provide noticeable performance improvements. While things have been running pretty well, now is the perfect time to make these enhancements. Future Customization: This upgrade will enable us to introduce and customize future enhancements on both the back end and front end, giving us greater flexibility to adapt and improve over time. Temporary ChangesTags: Tags will be temporarily disabled at launch but will return soon as we digest how to use in the new system. The updated tagging system will be more useful, allowing features like creating streams based on tags and following your preferred tags. The store will not be available initially after the migration. A new store will be launched soon. Downtime InformationThis migration is a large and complex task. I estimate that the forum will be offline for up to 4 hours during the update. I’ll try to keep the site accessible in guest mode during this time, but you won’t be able to log in. Migration TimelineThe update will take place between April 12th and 15th. Once I finalize the exact date and start time, I’ll post an update here. I’ve already done a few dry runs, and I’m confident it should go smoothly. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to bring you these exciting updates. I’m confident this upgrade will not only enhance our community now but also set the stage for continued improvements and useful features in the future, providing a more secure and customizable platform for everyone. I think thats it for now.. Stay tuned for more details.

Welcome!
