Will the comments-block be visible again at the bottom of the frontpage?

I hope so as well, because there are a few comments on the last few articles that should get the attention of this community. Without the comments block being displayed on the home page, it is likely that many people will miss some information...

IMO, the front page should not contain any user comments, or forum posts.

ditto to Mamba's comment, ditto to Dave_L's.

Well done fellas, lean and fast.

Hope to see the theme mentioned in this thread soon.

Still no avatars?

I agree with Dave_L too, however I do think there should be a 'Whats New' section which does have the latest posts and comments block.

I agree too. That there be a page available with latest comments and lates forum posts. If latest comments disappears it's going to be extra hard if not impossible to find information of comments placed in older posts.

I'm not saying that the recent posts and comments blocks should be removed entirely from the site. But they shouldn't be on the front page, where they're "in the face" of visitors and can give them a bad impression of XOOPS.

Congratulations for your hard work!

It was a fastest migration.

As an end user I am totally agree with Dave_L, please, if XOOPS users need support there is a link for it already.

Ditto congratulations on the upgrade, expecially with such a large volume of data.

Unfortunately, like ianez, I get blank-page on pressing 'reply' in the forum (Firefox).

Of lesser importance, I don't know if anyone else agrees, but I find the user names at the top of forum posts are now harder to read?. A little darker grey (like here in comments for example) would help IMHO. Also, is there no 'quote' button in CBB anymore?.

The quote button in CBB is on the reply form.

The code is still present in templates but is commented out by default.

I "uncomment" it on my own sites as that was the single most numerous comment I received after switching to xoops.

Well, I look forward to it all working. although personally I wouldn't have re-opened the site at all until everyone could reply to posts or create new topics in the forum.

When will it be possible to post or reply in the xoops.org forum again??

The forum is broken, I can't make posts in it because I get a white page. :(

Nice job folks!
The site is definitely more responsive, from here on the east coast, US.

Come on xoops.org designer, close the site until it works. You're just wasting everybody's time. Talk about doing half a job.

~~I think you'll find that it's just the General XOOPS.org forums that are out of action. The XOOPS Community Support forums seem to be working fine...~~

scrub that. None of it seems to be doing what it should.

I found that 'fast reply' works. But I can't edit the post.
@sailjapan
The post I made here was in the Community Support Forum. I still got a blank page on 'reply' or 'edit'.

There should be a BIG notice posted about this problem until it's fixed.

Same posting problems for me. This had to be fixed BEFORE going online again. No comment from the officials?

For me x.o. doesn't seem to be faster. Opening a thread takes up to 17 seconds and opening this form took 2.5 seconds while sitting on DSL 6000. Pretty slow I think.
