• resources/views/forum/threads/show.blade.php

ℹ Laravel 5.6 uses Bootstrap 4 by default. Shift did not update your front-end resources or dependencies as this could impact your UI. If you are using Bootstrap and wish to continue using Bootstrap 3, you should add Paginator::useBootstrapThree() to your AppServiceProvider boot method.

• app/Models/Thread.php
• app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php
