Site Overhaul of UGX-Mods is here! in Announcements

Current State:
Most of the issues have been resolved by now. We will monitor the situation and will do further improvements and optimizations if needed. :dolphin:

The Forum / Site has some critical issues atm.The most dramatic one is the 502 error thrown by Cloudflare due to most likely our server.I assume it's performance related and my hopes are to find a solution during the weekend.

If you encounter issues a simple reload should most likely fix it. - I know: not perfect - but thats what you get when a single developer is responsible for everything and only a small testing group checked the beta site out.

Hey guys,

after over two years it's finally here, our site overhaul.
It was a long and stressfull journy and we are happy to finally share this project with everyone.

Please forgive us if there are some issues in the next few days, we will monitor the site and might hotfix issues which we simply couldn't find in our Closed, Donor & Open Beta

Most noteworthy changes compared to our old site:

List of major features and improvements

New HTML5 theme which is responsive and mobile ready (now you can browse on your phone without issues!)
New HTML Text Edtior (CKEditor) for creating and editing your topics and replies.
- New gallery and slider options for images
- Easy media emebed with iframely, simply paste a link into the editor and magic happens
- Autocomplete for emotes and widgets (try to type in : ) or #UGX and see what happens)
- Full Emoji support :thumbsup: :heart_eyes:
  & new emotes :parrot:
Improved registration process for new users

Offline mode & better caching

I'm personally happy that this milestone has been completed now.

UGX-Mods should be future proof now, bringing you a lot of new improvements and features + modern web standards.
