Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.
Welcome to the new Boards.ie platform - Version 1.0 :)

On Desktop
Post count under user name in posts is incorrect and does not tally with overall post count in users profile
Actual correct post cont from profile page (this is more accurate)
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

On Desktop:
These hyperlinks have appeared in my Profile, nothing too professional about the way they were added, but they are there and are functional I guess, so it's helpful at least.

As i could understand, any information that you quote is directly linked to the actual post you did quote.
In the code it would read some like "whatever is in "that" post there, present in this post as quoted in such format"
Once original quoted post is deleted(censored), it is gone from your quote as well.
This way, to my humble opinion, site preserve storage space on server/database

Evening all,
Odhran is offline and unable to post this evening so I am posting the update instead. It will be a short one today, bigger issues are still being worked on.
We're still working on SEO and on navigation.
Getting My Forums back to how it should be is still a work in progress.
The 'Edit Profile' section on desktop has been updated to allow you to edit your password, notifications and other options, replicating the options available on mobile. Click on your profile pic (top right) then 'Edit Profile' to get here or just use this link: https://boards.ie/profile/edit
The 'currently online' stats on homepage have been hidden until we can get a live version up rather than the static numbers that were there.
Users awaiting confirmation can no longer post until they verify their email address - we were getting a few spammy posts today.
Sorry that we don't have more for you today, we will have more updates for you tomorrow.
We appreciate that using Boards for regular users at the moment is very frustrating and we are genuinely thankful for your patience and feedback.

The issue is actually pretty simple - the categories page errors when you have no followed forums. Since they weren't migrated over, most people have no followed forums.
Unfortunately, there's no easy way to follow a forum on desktop[*], so you have to do it on mobile. Go to https://boards.ie/categories/topics on your mobile, then click the gear-wheel on the right-hand side of any of the forums listed, and click "follow" on the popup. Go back to the desktop, and https://boards.ie/categories will now load properly
[*]Actually, it's really easy for Boards or anyone using a custom CSS addon (e.g. Stylus) to make following forums possible on desktop, it's just a single CSS rule:
.Frame-content .HomepageTitle { display: block !important; }Screenshot from my desktop (note the "Following button beside the forum title):
Boardsie Enhancement Suite - a browser extension to make using Boards on desktop a better experience (includes full-width display, keyboard shortcuts, and dark mode). Now available through the extension stores
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/boardsie-enhancement-suite/
Chrome/Edge/Opera: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/boardsie-enhancement-suit/bbgnmnfagihoohjkofdnofcfmkpdmmce
