It is a great pleasure to announce a new release of our forum V.4.6

We have fixed some annoying bugs in some plugins and fixed various ui issues.

We have also added a new plugin named 'Anti Spam Rules' for protecting your forum from spam. A visit to the forum just to see spam posts every day should greatly reduce after installing this plugin in your backend.

The new release completely gets rids off a huge html manipulation library named simple_html_dom which was used by some of the plugins. After removing this, you should see some speed improvements in your page load time.

And last, but the best feature of this release is our Private Messaging component. You should see a plugin named 'FreiChat' now in Codoforum plugins. We have used the latest technologies (ReactJS, Websockets, etc) to give you the best experience with a messaging system. Now messages will be delivered in a blink of an eye.
We will be releasing a new version within next 2 weeks for adding offline notification support in FreiChat PM; so do wait for that.

Cheers!

Hi,

We are not getting that issue from any of our servers or local setup. Can you try upgrading again ?

Also can you try running below command from your server:

curl https://codoforum.com/news/latest.php

Do you get any error ?

Note:
The new Messenger isn't compatible with the old one.
Your old messages will not be shown, if you need help porting the old messages, use the "Contact Us" section and we will personally help you move your messages for no added cost.

Already lost my old messages (120,000+) when I upgraded to 4.5 without warning

You did not loose any, The upgrade script doesn't delete old data, They will still be there in your DB.
Just contact us on admin[AT]codologic.com and we will help port those messages to the new version.

Hi,

Did you by any chance install the forum again ?
