The knock on impact of what? Is the site in some kind of legal trouble?
Just updated the wording in my previous post, it's specifically around the rendering of uploaded images on the forum

Hi all, just wanted to provide a quick update on this. I'm still assessing the knock-on impact of rendering images on the forum, so I'll provide an update when I'm able to share further details.

I hope to be able to provide further details and information soon.
It's great that most of the content on here is Boro related, unfortunately, any content that has previously been shared here (or on any platform) is subject to deletion following claims.

Due to recent concerns regarding copyright infringements, we are temporarily restricting the uploading of images to the forum. We understand the value of sharing visual content on here, however, it's essential for us to ensure that all content shared on the forum complies with copyright laws and respects the rights of content creators.
During this temporary restriction, we encourage users to refrain from uploading images directly to the forum. Instead, we kindly ask you to share images by providing a link to the associated website where the image is hosted. This will help us maintain compliance with copyright regulations while still allowing for the sharing of relevant content.
Additionally, some images that have previously been shared on the forum may be subject to deletion following claims. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but it is necessary for us to take measures to remain compliant.
We appreciate your understanding, our aim is to find a solution that works for everyone involved.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this please let me know.

Regarding the forum issues, what problems are people facing? I'm aware of forum posts going missing, which I'm looking into. Are there other issues?
If there are problems with adverts, I can ask the advertising partner to look into this. I'd like to find out the specifics so I can pass this on.
Thanks

Yeah - we can't delete our own posts. Think its overdue we had that option in the edit menu.
All we can do is remove all text and replace it with something like "please delete" or "wrongly posted".
This was raised a few pages back, however, I just wanted to let you all know about a new feature... the ability to hide a post you have made.
In the edit drop down, you can now choose "Hide". You will be prompted to enter an optional reason for hiding the post that will be visible to the oneBoro team. Once hidden, you won't be able to republish this, however, the post remains visible to the oneBoro team. If your post has already been Quoted by another member, this will remain visible in their post.
Hope this is nice feature for a Wednesday evening!

thank you for flagging these adverts again, I've reported these to the ad providers to block them, so they should clear up very soon. Sorry about that.
As usual, please keep reporting these and we can get them blocked

Hi all, sorry for any disruption with the ads. If/when you do run into issues if you could please screenshot it and PM me with details(what device you're on and page URL) so that I can get the ad providers to block them.

Evening all, I've had a read through all of this thread and the opinions mentioned. I'll do my best to summarise.
If memory serves me right, the oneBoro Forum is approaching its 15th year… 15 years!! Over that time, the admin and moderator team have gone above and beyond anything that could be expected of them, doing this on a voluntary basis in-between their day to day lives, often going unnoticed at times. Looking at the stats we’ve had almost 40,000 posts over the past 6 months. Keeping on top of all of these posts is no easy job.
Difficult decisions have to be made at times, and when they are made, I put my trust in the team who have overseen the growth of the forum over the years. I have seen how decisions have been made, as a team, weighing up options and how best to proceed.
When difficult decisions are made, there is always likely to be some form of disagreement. A forum wouldn’t be a forum without opposing views. This isn’t the first, and won’t be the last time that a conversation is sparked from a difficult decision. It’s how we move forwards from this.
We’ve had highs and lows as a community, but the true sense of community often comes out as we’ve seen this week.
Let’s be honest, the last few years have been pretty rough.
I couldn’t ask for any more from the team, they have the forum in their best interests to maintain a safe, welcoming environment for any Boro fan to post.
When we started the forum we were different from other communities by having a large moderator team. This was with the intention of making sure topics stayed Boro focused, but to also allow anyone to feel like they could be part of a growing community.
In terms of the selection of moderators, the process mentioned is how we’ve gone about it from day one. I feel it has worked, however, if members feel this is no longer the best route forwards then please do let me know.
We’re hopefully at the start of an exciting time for Boro, which in turn will mean more interest in fans joining the forum.
My Private Messages are always open if anyone wants to get in touch. I hope we can move on and look forward to what may be a promising end to the season.

This is such sad news, I'm not the best with words, but the oneBoro Forum would certainly not be what it is today without the help and dedication from VB; from the days of 606 and the Evening Gazette forum, to helping make everyone feel welcome and providing ITK snippets along the way.
RIP VB 😞

I'll take a look into the mark forum as read button 👍

I've increased the font size on the forum, hopefully that's looking a bit better now!

I'd just like to check which devices the font size is rendering small on? The change I made was on the mobile site to increase the size - so it may be that this has been cached. If not, I'll take a look into again 🙂
-
Thanks for the feedback 👍. I agree in that the font size was looking a bit smaller, so I've upped the size of this

I have now completed for the forum update with a couple of theme and feature improvements.
Please let me know if you spot any issues. As much information such as browser, device and a screenshot will be a good help to try and fix any problems.
Cheers!

Just a quick update on this, I'll be looking to do the update Friday evening through to Saturday evening so there may be periods of downtime when the forum will be offline. I'll let you know when this is complete 👍

I'm planning to update to the oneBoro Forum to the latest version this week. I'll update this thread with more details as to when this will be happening, and when the update is complete 👍
I hope the update will go smoothly and to plan!

Thanks @DanFromDownSouth, I’ve started getting those this morning too - very frustrating as it seems to knock the site out on mobile. I’ll try and get that sorted ASAP - sorry about this!

Thanks @GrimsbyBoro, that ad is now blocked.
Really sorry again for this, these ads are getting excluded when they do crop up and we’re doing our best to catch them.
As always, where possible please screenshot (and if you’re able to copy the URL) and send to myself so they can be blocked.
As mentioned previously, these types of redirect adverts shouldn’t be happening and we’re doing our best to resolve it.
Important Notice: Restriction on images on the forum
in Boro Forum
Posted
Hi all,
Following on from this thread, regarding recent concerns around copyright infringements on the forum, I have made the very difficult decision to permanently enforce the restriction on uploading images, files and attachments to posts on the forum.
Alongside this, all previously uploaded images, files and attachments will be removed from the forum. This will also include profile photos.
I appreciate that this is a big change and will come across as a surprise, however, I've have tried to explore different options for this. I know there's some very popular posts on here where visual content is shared, and I'm very sorry that this is going to limit that.
This is a decision that's been extremely difficult to make, however, to ensure a successful future for the forum it's a one that has to be made. We understand the value of sharing visual content on here, however, it's essential for us to ensure that all content shared on the forum complies with copyright laws and respects the rights of content creators.
We appreciate your understanding, and I apologise for the disruption this will likely cause.
If anyone has content uploaded on the forum that they would like a copy of, please reach out to me and I'll see if we can arrange this.
