Even for members worldwide?

 

I recall we as members on the previous forum had to set the times ourselves, and that did cause some problems.....so clever stuff if the new forum recognizes where everyone lives abroad.

IIRC the forum software is set as UTC and auto detects user IP. Obviously if you're using a proxy that screws things up. 

I'll post them here. 

Please remember that only members who have informed me they are coming to one or both parts of the event will be granted entry. 

Any questions then please don't hesitate to contact me

Hi would like to attend next Saturday only live about 45 miles away, do i need to book to attend the meeting just during the day, have Zed 

Yep. I need you to PM me the info I ask for on the first page.

Isn't one for members. The forum itself sets it.

But you still won't find everything until the search function has finished indexing.

Indexing is complete. 

We have indexed the archive too, so search will cover the whole 1m+ posts. 

Screen shot please. 

Clicking ACTIVITY > CONTENT I STARTED should give you what you are looking for. That's the list of all the Threads you have started. If someone has replied the thread will be shown in bold. Same as before. 

No dress code.

Also just realised I can't see when a thread was started either, without going into it.  Im really struggling with this new main thread view.

Sorry to hear you're struggling. 

Unfortunately we were never going to be able to please everyone.

There have been significant changes to the base software between our old format and the new up to date version. We've already put significant investment into this upgrade (time and money), and I don't envisage me having the time in the near future to adapt the code to appease what in all honesty is a minor thing. 

I'll resend to everyone this evening.

If anyone needs the .pdf's I sent a few weeks ago resending then let me know asap. 

There's a chance they might not open correctly since the forum upgrade and I'll need to send you them again.

Noticed that before, but wasn't sure it was doing what I wanted since it was allowing me to do previously impossible stuff without kicking up an error. 

 

On a related note, it would appear we can now post an unlimited number of videos rather than being limited to 2, and more (all?) image extensions seem to work, whereas before it would refuse Facebook images and jpg-large etc.

 

 

Some requests if possible:

- Delete / lock function for own posts / threads     - No chance. Mods/Admin only I'm afraid.

- Post number of each reply in a thread                  - Done

- Ability to change # of posts displayed per page   - Nope.

- Different themes instead of blinding white           - There will be another Theme or two in the future. But not till I'm happy we're stable

- Add the Z favicon back                                             -  Doing that right now.

 

Embedding Facebook videos seems to work, and the preview in the reply box is fine, but if you click preview it breaks.

 

 

Replied in quote above.

Preview post is back. 

As you type in the box, up at the top right you can see a little magnifying glass over a piece of paper (top right of the edit box). That's the preview post function. 

Ah right. 

I'll need to look into the software. Not sure it's actually a feature of 4.1. I will try though.

Got my sig sorted again thanks.

 

When I upload a picture to an album it shows in activity - is that normal and will it happen for each pic I upload??

All members can taylor the results to show forum only, or include gallery and calender posts.

Is the preview function no more?

Kinda still here. 

If you view the "unread content" or whatever selection you choose then view in "expanded" rather than "condensed" then you get a small preview of what has been typed. 

Sigs are now live again. 

But we will look at limiting them a bit more than last time I think. 

Basically we're gonna run with what we have right now (mostly), and then will gather some more feedback at Coventry before making any knee jerk changes to the Theme itself. 

Sigs may make a return soon.

For time being forum is not available on Tapatalk. Are there any plans in future for forum to work on Tapatalk 

My problem with Tapatalk is this -

We've spent time, money, and effort to create the New forum so that it's slicker, faster, and simple to upload images. 

By reinstating tapatalk we essentially undo all that work. 

Try now. 

Got ya. 

I know the issue. 2 mins. 

There is a limit in your personal Gallery. Exact number I can't remember. 

It is unlimited when you are posting in threads. 

The upgrade isn't designed to replace PBas a storage location for your photos. It's to make it as easy as possible for members to upload pictures into threads and posts.

I',m guessing all previously "followed" threads have been lost?

 

Unfortunately that does seem to be the case. 

Sold - thread locked

Thanks Stu,

Hey Mark.
Settings have been tweaked so you can now load an image direct from phone or computer and it will auto resize it for you and post it.
Only restriction is image must be under 8MB in size initially.
