Hi all,

As a lot of you are aware, AutismForums runs on the XenForo forum software. I'm keen to ensure that we are running the most up-to-date version of the software to get any security vulnerabilities removed as quickly as possible and to remove bugs.

The latest version of XenForo (version 2.3) was finally released on the 4th of July, you can find XenForo's release note for 2.3 here.

While version 2.3 has been in beta testing for a while, I will wait a month before upgrading AutismForums to ensure that if there are any issues with the upgrade, others have found them first.

The upgrade will be performed at 5am UTC on the 6th of August (you can see what time that is for you at this link https://notime.zone/O1s3_q3ZX4Wld). During this time the forum will be unavailable while the upgrade is performed.

Thanks for the heads up.

Also, will this update stop the "enable push notifications" tab at the bottom of the page from showing up?
The reason I ask is because I keep getting it showing up at the bottom of my page every few weeks, asking me if I want to enable push notifications.

Every time I click the option "never ask again", but for some reason it keeps coming back to ask me again after a few weeks regardless.

I'll check. I admittedly have the same issue on my desktop and laptop. I have notifications come to my phone; I don't need them on three devices.

So I'm not the only one getting this? Yeah, hopefully it'll go away after the forum update.
 
Hi everyone,
Just a reminder that the forum will be updated on the 6th of August

So I'll have to look up my password in order to Log In
after this takes place. (?)

Edit, after the Update:
Nope.
Not this time.
 
Thank you for taking the trouble to keep using forum software. This kind of platform used to be the core of social connection on the Internet, the ultimate grass roots ordering of things. As the enormous social media empires started to take root this has become more difficult to find. I know admins of forums who threw up their hands at the travails of keeping platforms going, most of them surrendering to the dramas of vbulletin. Anyway, thanks. This is a great place.
 
Today is the day!

As some of you may have noticed, the upgrade didn't go quite as planned. It looks like one of the addons that AF uses caused an error when we upgrade, which prevented users from logging in. Unfortunately, I was unable to upgrade it due to server permission issues.
Rest assured, I have disabled the addon for the moment and am actively working with XenForo, who hosts AF, to resolve the permission issue. Once that is resolved, I'll upgrade the addon.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused by AF being down.
 
Thanks for the update, @Satal.

On my end, the option for different reactions has changed - "like" seems to be the only option. Anyone else having this problem?
 
Yeah, it does appear that Like is the only option now :( It looks like the addon that we have for the other reactions isn't working yet.

Me too and I can't give any other reaction on mobile Android browser Brave anymore, since today. I can only Like posts.
 
Feedback: I do not get the ratings menu when I hover over the "Like" button (Win 11, Norton Private Browser & Firefox).
