Upgrading to Version 8.0

The following details are very important to know when upgrading to Community Forums 8.0 from an earlier release.

NEW CSS Loading Order

CSS loading has been improved to deliver robust CSS both within the module, across all themes, and then theme-specific with a custom override.

New Community Forum's CSS Load order:

• ~/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/module.css (already existing)
• ~/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/themes.css (new name and CSS content / used across all themes)
• ~/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_currenttheme_/theme{.min}.css (already existing / new name). Can now have a .min.css variant.
• ~/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_currenttheme_/custom/theme{.min}.css (new) has been updated. Can now have a .min.css variant.

Orphaned Web.Config Update

If you have previously installed the Community Forums module --and its URL rewriter in order to use friendly URLs-- that process inserted the attribute runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" into the <configuration><system.webServer><modules> tag in the main web.config.

Per Microsoft documentation, this attribute is obsolete if you are running IIS 7 (plus a patch), or IIS 8+.

Since you may have other modules that require it, we have chosen to NOT remove it automatically. If you have no other modules that require it, you many remove it manually.
