Incomplete and in no particular order or priority.

Forums:
Need to improve topic listing.
Change fonts for replies and quoted text.
Create custom BBCodes.

General:
Figure out why site gets “laggy” at times.
Improve layout.

[admin]

The forums main page is a lot nicer now.
Mobile access is fixed again. It may change in the future…

[admin]

I made some changes that seems to have improved page load times a bit. Still not where it should be, but I have to call it a day.

BOD access to editing member profile. You and I already spoke on this so just dropping it out there to keep it in mind.

Changed some settings in SQL. Didn’t help very much. Site is still laggy.
My test server is an ancient laptop running Linux on a rather slow internet connection, and it is much faster…

FINALLY got the dates to display correctly in LCG, Cache Rescue and Recent Logs.
Now to get the Recent Logs to run automatically again.

[admin]

Recent logs are coming in again. I had to put a big Band-Aid on the scheduler to make it work.
The Recent Logs harvester was written in a time when it was unimaginable that Geocaching.com would get over 200 logs per minute. Since GC’s recent logs page only shows 200 logs and only updates ever minute (or 2?), there is no way to get all logs.

GC numbers in forum posts should now be clickable. I should be able to make them clickable in the Events listings also, but need to find the correct place to add the code.

I have updated user profiles. They now show WGA members’ State Park Series stats and Biome completion badges.
I have profiles working for “most” members. If a member has not posted in the new forums, the link can’t be created for their profile. I’m working on a way around that.
I’m also working on making it display faster. There’s a ton of SQL calls required to get all the info, so I’ll have to optimize that somehow.

Just refreshed and noticed the icons next to the tabs at the front. Nice touch.
