Arf, I'll miss the release day then. :o I will be away.

Still impatient to see the new site next week! :D

Yeah I know, I’m patiently waiting.
Upgrades can’t be done immediately :)
 
It somehow gives me the same feeling than when you're about to ask your crush a date, but in a much, much lighter manner.
 
Hi all,

I am delighted to announce that Pirate-Community has been successfully updated to a brand new version!

Please find below a list of all additions, improvements and other modifications.

  • Forum
    • The forum software has been updated to phpBB 3.1, a major rewrite bringing its load of new features. You can read more about it here, but here is a summary of the major additions:
      • Responsive theme: now fully optimized for mobile devices.
      • Notifications: get notified when someone replies to one of your posts, a topic you are following, or many other events.
      • Extensions system: this means that every single custom feature of the forum, from points to BBCode to gender icons to ranks to record day and spam protection, has been rewritten using state-of-the-art technologies.
      • AJAX calls: some actions can be performed without having to reload the whole page.
      • Large image resizing: view your images in full.
      • Better timezone handling: daylight saving time adjusts automatically.
      • Last message topic and author in forum list.
      • Improved search.
    • Points system
      • Notifications when a user is given, added or deducted Tings.
      • Link to the transactions page on the front page.
    • BBCode
      • Brand new spoiler tag: click a blurry spoiler to show its content. This technique allows the use of inline as well as block spoilers.
      • Improved interface for the YouTube tag: just paste the URL and the tag will be added for you.
      • Missing tags added to the posting page.
    • Style
      • Support for high pixel density displays (e.g. Retina): new vector icons will look smooth and smilies will stay crisp on all screens.
      • Many small improvements to the forum style.
    • Other
      • Zoom available for resized images: click to view the original version.
      • New smilies were added and some of the existing ones were enhanced.
  • Wiki
    • New style: RayWiki comes with a brand new style, in line with that of the forum. It looks great on high pixel density displays thanks to its use of vector images and high resolution sprites.
    • Single sign-on: no need to enter your credentials twice, logging in on the forum will automatically log you in on the wiki. Due to a breaking change in the latest version of MediaWiki, this feature has been postponed.
    • The wiki software has been updated to MediaWiki 1.27. A full list of changes is available here and here.
    • CSS classes for templates: contributors need not use inline CSS anymore, just use the new style's classes.
  • Portal
    • Complete code rewrite: just like all of our custom features, the portal has been rebuilt from scratch. Say hello to v3.1, “Lotsa Featuri”!
    • Anyone authorized by the team can now write news items.
    • The automatic posting of news items on Facebook and Twitter has been reactivated.
    • The complex RSS feed on the right has been replaced with a simply customizable latest posts feed: just select the forums you want to see messages from.
    • The calendar has been removed.
    • Localized wiki links: French users will be taken to the French wiki.
  • Other
    • The entire site has been switched to HTTPS for enhanced security and privacy. While HTTPS has been available on Pirate-Community for many years, the self-signed certificate caused browsers to display alarming messages, which is not the case anymore thanks to the new valid, authoritatively signed certficate.

There are also a few improvements that we were not able to roll out yet due to some of the underlying software's release schedule: another update is coming, which will bring, among others, emoji support, enhanced BBCodes and performance improvements.

Stay tuned, and we hope you'll enjoy this brand new website!
 
Found a bug:

That happened when I tried to change my timezone (the suggestion part popped up, is what I mean). Clicking it does nothing.
