Website upgrade

[Josh]

A big update to the community software system is in progress. All optional features in the system are being temporarily disabled during the upgrade.

[Thirsty Panther]

Are you going to seperate the old Leadwerks content from the new Ultra Engine content ?

It would avoid a lot of confusion moving forward. 

[Josh]

I do not plan to. If it becomes a problem it's probably possible to select and move all topics prior to a certain date.

[Josh]

Upgrade is complete, now I am going to back everything up and then turn the optional components back on.

Did they go away?

The documentation should be a lot snappier now. I figured out I can use github.io as a free CDN.

I haven't been getting them since your upgrade...

[Josh]

Thank you for point this out. I need to install something call "GMP PHP extension".

[SpiderPig]

Welcome.  They're pretty nifty.  I click it every time one goes off

[Josh]

Should be working now.

The documentation should be noticeably faster than before. I'm using Github as a CDN so scripts and images will be loaded from the nearest server. I was also including some very big scripts from the search system in every page, and that was not needed. I could probably make it faster if I generated static pages and stored them in Github, but I think it's okay for now.

Using a real CDN for the forum system would probably make image loading faster. I am interested in trying this in the future.

The option is available now but it hangs on enabling for me.  Might be my browser though... I'm using Brave.

[Josh]

I am seeing the same thing.

[Admin]

@SpiderPigWhat browser are you using?

[SpiderPig]

I'm using Brave.  Havn't tried anything else yet.

[Josh]

Same here. I tried Edge and Chrome, and they both worked correctly. IPS tells me it is a browser problem.

[SpiderPig]

It used to work with brave.  Can / should a bug report be made?

[Josh]

To Brave support, yes. Just because a new version doesn't work doesn't mean there isn't a bug in Brave.

PHP was updated from 7.4 to 8.0.
