Most things are working.
However, I found a problem with the Anonymous subforum, so I had to disable it for now. I should have it fixed soon.
-
Wow. It is so different. It will take a while to get used to.
-
What happened to the anonymous forum? I can't find it
EDIT: nevermind i just saw that it was temporarily disabled

I agree. But a little bit of change is always good every now and then.
-
Yea, I liked :-\ it the way it was,

Great job Matthew! It must have taken a lot of hard work and perseverance to say the least.
-
I think it looks really good. Good job.

I noticed last night the there was a problem with "anonymous" in that all the named posters had come up as anonymous - their names has been removed. Now this morning when I went to look again I didn't see any anonymous threads. I was quite pleased, in view of the abuse and overuse the anonymous section has been getting of late. Now I see that you've taken it down to work on it.
You're doing a great job, Matthew, and I'm getting used to it.

I just added a new feature: the old CathInfo links now redirect seamlessly to the new site!
Links that take the form
http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php/An-orthodox-bishop-speaks (http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php/An-orthodox-bishop-speaks)
or
http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php?a=topic&t=28666&min=6&num=3 (http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php?a=topic&t=28666&min=6&num=3)
Will now automatically redirect to the new site.
Any links that used "index.php" instead of "catholic.php" will end up on the new site, but you won't go directly to the post. "index.php" is the headquarters of the new software, so it's already taken.
"catholic.php" however was wide open, so I wrote a script to take the URLs, do various lookups, and take you to that topic on the new site.

Actually, it should. The site's default character encoding is UTF-8
これはうまくいくと思います.
昨日CathInfoがアップグレードされました。

Guess I'm turning into a "old fart," I just don't appreciate change anymore. Gonna take awhile to get used to this new format....
-
I'm going to have to start a "daily tips" section, to slowly (1 per day) teach y'all all the new features of this new forum software.
For example, if you look at the sidebar on the right, the "Catholic Info - Info Center", there is a little graphic on the very RIGHT with a >> on it. If you click that graphic, the sidebar will shrink away and disappear, leaving the whole screen for the "main part". Go check it out.

greetings Miseremini (http://www.cathinfo.com/profile/Miseremini/), St Ignatius (http://www.cathinfo.com/profile/St%20Ignatius/), it seems we are on the same page!
-
Well St Ignatius (http://www.cathinfo.com/profile/St%20Ignatius/) was and now he's gone!
-
New Forum looks great! Can't wait to learn the new features.

Your crocodilian representative disavows any knowledge or understanding of whatever words ‘confederate catholic’ was attempting to convey with his experiment using HTML-entities (i.e., the ugly-syntax strings beginning "&#" and ending ";") to present Arabic:
قَامت مريم بنتُ دادوحِذا العود
It might turn out that you'll need to confine your exercises in Arabic to whatever you're willing to edit using SMF BB-Code. I was able to produce letters in the Semitic infidel abjad [×] above by copy-&-pasting the HTML-entities posted by ‘confederate catholic’ into the BB-Code editor. Maybe it'll work to use the BB-Code editor to perform the conversion, then copy-&-paste the result into the WYSIWIG editor.
The drawback of using the BB-Code editor is that in each cycle of "Previews" in that editor, it seems that the HTML-entities are (possibly irreversibly) converted and stored as UTF-8 byte-sequences, instead of leaving the HTML-entities alone, and letting each user's browser properly render whatever HTML-entities are in text that's posted.[†]
-------
Note †:
I already pointed out (Mar 19, 2017 at 03:22:11 PM) this difference in editing-&-preview behavior from the familiar MercuryBoard C.I., in another of Matthew's new topics: "Report any bugs or problems with new site here!", as its "Reply #11": <http://www.cathinfo.com/general-discussion/report-any-bugs-or-problems-with-new-site-here!/msg544462/#msg544462 (http://www.cathinfo.com/general-discussion/report-any-bugs-or-problems-with-new-site-here!/msg544462/#msg544462)>. To be plain about it: I request that owner-moderator-webmaster Matthew disable automatic conversion of HTML-entities into UTF-8 byte-sequences.
Note ×: I suppose I should spare you and other readers my especially, um, unflattering opinion about the letters of the Arabic abjad compared to their origin in Aramaic. But with you being an Eastern Catholic, why wouldn't you be using the Unicode characters for Syriac (Unicode ver. 3.0 & 4.0: 1999 & 2003), or late-arriving Imperial Aramaic (5.2: 2009), or even Hebrew (1.0.0: 1991) as a common scholarly substitute for Syriac, instead of writing in Arabic (1.0.0: 1991)?

Yay! It let me in!
