Update complete, downtime was < 1 hour
The forum won't be available for a few hours on Wednesday, 29th May 2024.
 
The forum will be updated and some database changes will be applied to improve the performance. :rocket:
Unfortunately I can't say at what time exactly it will start and how long it will take, but it will happen between 13:00 - 20:00 UTC+0.
In theory it should only take a few minutes :sweat_smile:
UGX-Mods

The UGX-Mods Knowledge Base has been shutdown (on 27th Feb 2024) and replaced with our new UGX-Mods Community Wiki at https://wiki.ugx-mods.com.
 
It has the same content as before, but with some cleanup and restructuring.
It is now possible to contribute changes yourself <3Simply take a look at our GitHub Repository at https://github.com/UGX-Mods/community-wiki.
 
Our Knowledge Base was available for over 10 years, the migration to our new WikiJS instance took quite some time and effort and hopefully it will last for at least another 10 years
 
If you need help, found an issue or want to leave feedback then simply post under this topic or join our UGX-Mods Discord and have  a look at the #community-wiki room.
 
Please note: It's not 100% perfect yet. Over time it will be improved (or you contribute changes yourself )!

Update time! :smiling_face_with_3_hearts:
 
Most noteworthy changes:

• Attachments improvements
  • better embed display of attachments (gallery, video / audio web player)
  • allow drag & drop of files into the post area to add it
  • allow to change the order of attachments
  • better style
• Improved post page, to highlight attachment and post settings better
• New style of radio and checkboxes
  
• Reworked share post widget
  
• In general some UI/UX fixes / improvements
  
• The nostalgic version of the UGX Web Chat has been updated as well: https://www.ugx-mods.com/chat
  
  • new blue design and removed legacy stuff
    
  • usercard is now visible on avatar / username click
    
  • fixed some bugs and glitches
    
  • chat server is more stable now
    

Enjoy some images / videos of my dog Caya to showcase the new improved attachment display (you must read the full message to see the lovely fluff :dog2:).
 
There will be another announcement soon about the new UGX-Mods Wiki once it's fully migrated.
For now and real quick: https://confluence.ugx-mods.com is deprecated and the new place will be https://wiki.ugx-mods.com (which is as the time of this post incomplete and not fully migrated yet!)

After almost 2 years a new update has been finally deployed and is live. :smiling_face_with_3_hearts:
 
Most noteworthy changes:

• Performance improvements (PHP8.2, optimized DB queries, etc. -> faster page loads)
• Avatar Editor (Try it out: https://www.ugx-mods.com/forum/profile/area=forumprofile)
• Better code highlight with line options, Scripting Syntax support and more options
  
• Added OpenSearch support. (You can now add the UGX-Mods Forum search to your browser search)
  

This is a huge update and I'm happy that it's finally deployed.
I'll keep monitoring the page and will fix issues which might still happening (it's hard to track during development vs when it's live and thousands of users use the website).

So it has been exactly 10 years since I registered on UGX-Mods. In September 2012 I joined the team officially. I thought it was time to celebrate my 10 years anniversary and throw in one nostalgic gem I wrote for UGX-Mods a long time ago. And to round it up, I’ll throw in some steam gift cards which you can win (more information below).
 
So, let’s start with some history.
I was modding for World at War and wanted to join the best modding team. I was working on an ambitious project (which in the end was discontinued due to engine limits). Nevertheless with UGX-Mods I could do much more than “just” modding. I’m a generalist and a good web developer (I do this as a living btw). Over the last 10 years I could extend my knowledge in so many areas thanks to UGX and of course the awesome UGX-Mods community!
 
Without UGX and you - the community - I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish this all. I went from PHP5, JavaScript, HTML4 and CSS2 into a Full-Stack developer who is fluid in HTML5, CSS3 (and SCSS), JavaScript / TypeScript, PHP+7. I even learned and mastered C++ thanks to UGX-Mods (but that is for another time). I learned a lot about linux servers. I did all of this before UGX, but with UGX I could keep working on it with a large user base and learn just sooo much.
 
Again, I can’t thank all of you enough for your support, kind words and simply staying with us.
 

UGX Chat *nostalgic version*

To celebrate this anniversary I’ll revive the UGX Chat. You can enther it through this link: https://www.ugx-mods.com/chat/
It’s a nostalgic version with a few fixes and improvements, but it has all the quirks and features you love and hate.
I have no idea how well it goes and how long I will keep it up and running, but just for the good old times it’s worth it.
