Engineering / Re: TLO 2020 Theme Update

With the new theme now out and everything once again running as it should be, I'd like to reopen this topic to everyone.

If you've got any feedback about the current theme then do please leave it below, we want to make the theme work for everyone as best we can.

You may have noticed that it's not just the theme that has changed over here on the forums.  We are now running SMF 2.1 RC2, technically speaking this version is just a release candidate, but it's had a while to mature (a little over a year now) and have the bugs worked out, so I felt it would be alright for us to move over to it.

This new version of SMF gives us some new features to play with, a fair few are back end (the forum is finally supporting IPv6, cool right?) others are front end based, so a few worthy of note are...

Two Factor Authentication - If you wish to enable 2FA for your account you can do so from your account settings - https://last-outpost.net/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=account
Desktop Notifications - You can, if opted in, receive desktop notifications from the site for various alerts
Mentions - You can now mention people in your posts ( @Callum603 for example (breaks site by mentioning himself))
Likes - You can like posts, cause why not...
Calendar Notifications - While we don't use the calendar a whole lot, you can get notifications when new events are added, either by a forum/desktop alert or by email
Search Indexes - If this was in the older version I never saw it.  The board is now periodically indexed to make searching faster

With the notification system having been overhauled I recommend reviewing your personal settings as the board defaults have changed - https://last-outpost.net/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=notification;sa=alerts

As said above, feedback is welcomed and if you spot any bugs please do report them below.

Welcome to the TLO 2020 Theme (I'm great at names  :P )
