Forum Upgrade (Feb 2026)

[arn]

The historical posts seem to have disappeared. You can only see the last 25 pages, where you used to be able to see right back to your first.
Also find the Spy function doesn’t refresh for me.

I bumped it, but not sure if it'll run into problems with performance.

In the meanwhile, you can do an advanced search:

Choose your username and choose "Older than" date. If I put 01/01/2002, I can see my way old posts.

Hah.. I did look through the changes. A lot of them are backend type stuff. We went from Xenforo 2.2 -> 2.3. Here's the official feature list.

The main thing that affects end users right now is the Passkeys that can be added in your https://forums.macrumors.com/account/security

Enabled passkeys. Very nice.👍

It's a strange xenforo editor issue (which is why it doesn't show up logged-out). I've opened a ticket to them. We're trying to work around but it's pretty internal-Xenforo stuff. That happens on xenforo.com's official site as well.

We may be able to do a workaround ourselves, but it'll be a hack.

Having this issue too. I’ve noticed that if I disable JavaScript on my iPhone then the halting behavior disappears, fwiw.

Any status update on the scrolling behavior?

I disabled the “quick thread” editor. Which should resolve the scrolling issue on forum view for now.

Thank you, was very annoying!

Looks like that did it. Thanks for looking into this!

Not seeing it. Thank you. Will report
if it occurs again.

I thought the issue with the scrolling was iOS and was about to “blame Apple”. All in all I can only image the laundry list of things that needed to be done and good job to all.

I don't know if this is due to the upgrade but it seems the "Click to expand..." prompt is too severe in its implementation, it appears even on posts that are only two lines long like below:

Maybe the emojis are the reason, but it's pretty bad.

hmm... that's not how I see it on mine (Safari).

Why Liquid Glass looks so good

Sure, like everyone was bored of Aqua when Brushed arrived, everyone ditched Brushed when Skeuomorphic arrived, everyone hated Skeuomorphic when Flat arrived? And now we're back to Aqua well, everyone was bored with Flat, that makes sense. Oh and I can already sense the leather smell of the...

Doh! I forgot I browse this site zoomed out to 80-90%. It seems like when at 100% it doesn't happen, and it seems like the width of the browser window also affects it. Using Firefox in my case. Might not really be a real issue, then.

The Block Political forums button doesn't work for me. I tried it just now and it seems broken.

Yeah I tried turning it on, since I want to back away from political discussions - and it doesn't work.

Ah, there's a lag on that. It should work now. But it looks like the cron runs every 20 mins on that one. I can see about making it quicker

Perfect. Thank you. It will block all notifications from it, yes?

It should. let me know if not.

Stutter is gone for me as well. Thank you!

On the mobile homepage of the site, wasn’t there a dedicated button to go to the forum? Now you have to click menu or profile and then click forum to get here. My flow is always “go to MacRumors, read all articles, go to forum, read new posts”. I really miss the forum button!
