We're back running the latest version of Xenforo and a few of our add-ons as well. Let me know if anything seems to have been broken.

Here's two nifty additions to the software you might be unaware of otherwise which we feel to point out:

Full iOS PWA compatibility with push notification support​

iOS 16.4 introduced push notifications for iOS devices. To facilitate this, you need to install Evoweb as a PWA (Progressive Web App) by utilising the "Add to Home Screen" feature in Safari. Push notifications can then be enabled by you once you log in through the Evoweb PWA and enable it via the option you're presented with.

Conversation search​

We've added the option to search for keywords inside any conversation. You can do this under the "Advanced search" search option and/or the drop-down menu option while being inside your conversations hub.

Sounds great but would it possible to give step by step instructions about the IOS notifications thing as I’m not sure how to do that.

Sure. Simply open up the site on any iOS device via Safari and follow this illustration:





You can choose whichever name you want for the app icon. Press "Add" (German "Hinzufügen"). After that you'll find Evo-Web installed like a native app on your Home Screen. Open it and log in. You'll then find the following prompt near the bottom. Press "enable push notifications".




iOS will ask you if you want to allow push notifications. Press "Allow".



That's it.

Posting from the Home Screen app as of now and enabled push notification.
Thanks for the guide much appreciated.

@Tom Just got notified of your like 😄
Just one last thing. Is there a way to just be notified of replies and not likes?

There is. Go into your account settings -> Preferences. Scroll down and you’ll be presented with lots of granular notification options.
