Wow, lots of good news in this update, Arantor. I really appreciate your ability to give us details without bogging us down, or talking over our heads.

Many "Thanks!" to Arantor, to all the Devs, and the whole SMF Team for continuing their wonderful work on SMF. Great Job~!

It's good to see Arantor on the SMF Team.

+99999999999~

I really love the changes!  Thanks to the entire SMF team.

As ever, anyone who checks our Github will probably have already seen some of the changes we've done - for those who haven't, https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1 is where it's all happening.

Looks really nice.  (now for this weeks dumb question) Am I right in assuming we can download those files from Github, and update our test installs of 2.1?  Though I tried it, and my test install works (with errors) I haven't a clue how to use Github to be honest.   

[Arantor]

Sure you can download it from there and run the large upgrade (you'll find the upgrade PHP and SQL files in the other/ folder), which should hopefully ensure you have all the tables and whatnot that you will need.

Thanks, that's the files I was missing, I had just the ones in the zip.  How do you download the files in the "other" folder please?

If you download the zip, you will have the other folder in it...

[Kindred]

the other folder is there....      it's part of the standard git package...    you just don't expect to see it and so skip over it the first (few) time(s)
(ok, well, at least I did -- DOH!))

Did I mention I need to visit Specsavers.  Thanks guys.  I even looked in there again before I asked, and missed it.  I'm off to try it out.

The new approach to the Admin Center looks really, really great!

[Akyhne]

Good you removed one of the menu bars.
Sad you removed the wrong one!

* BurkeKnight wonders about the usefulness of that post.

[Arantor]

Good you removed one of the menu bars.
Sad you removed the wrong one!

And if you paid attention you'd understand that I didn't merely remove it, I replaced it with something else.

Arantor, do remember our mantra:

Don't feed the trolls.

[Akyhne]

I just don't like the top menu introduced in SMF 2.0.
It's really as simple as that.

[Arantor]

And I'm sorry but it isn't going away, especially because of the issues that have always been with the sidebar for the last ten years which were only made vastly worse in SMF 2.0 (like a security hole at one point that has since been fixed)

Fortunately an alternative was added in place of the sidebar menu.

There's really no reason to offend me, is there?!

Glad to read this news, I hope can put my hands in this new version of smf and keep making mods for 2.1 ( I hope last mods keep working)

I see things are looking much better and the Team it again working hard, to get something meaningful done, so me be happy camper and thanks very much for all you do!

Looks like most are pleased anyway.... so there you go>>!
