New forum Bugs and Queries


Recommended Posts

At the moment we are keeping the mobile skin as a mobile skin. Using the web based one causes some issues with templating.
At least this mobile skin is way better than previous one.

No worries.

With regards to file uploads, am I right in thinking that the user has to manually edit the file size before they can upload? Looks like the forum will resize as it sees fit in terms of resolution, but it won't alter the actual size in MB/KB/Kb of the picture.

 

Not a complaint, more an observation to make sure I understand it correctly. :)

Well done with the forum upgrade looks great!! Do we need to do a gofundme page :) I've started to move my images from Photobucket but there seems to be a limit of 10 image files per album, is that correct? Thanks.

Hi guys well done on the upgrade but I have no photos on my build thread or on the member trader items that I have for sale I have always loaded via photo bucket, is this still available 

If they're being hosted by photobucket then this is likely due to thier change in policy about allowing third party hosting, and not the upgrade to the forum.

I believe you are a paying PB member, so you can try contacting Photobucket to see if they are offering any more info than what has been published so far.

Im using photo bucket to host my pictures and don't seem to be having a problem.

it appears they're working through thier accounts, they've been around for 14 years doing this, so there will be a few to get through. More info from thier own site here.

If you google it, you'll note there's one or two rather upset forums out there.

So it's as easy as that then Not

The forum upgrade has been pushed through because of the PB policy change.
Unfortunately the issue you are experiencing is not because of our upgrade but because PhotoBucket no longer allow images hosted with them to be displayed on third party sites unless you pay their crippling fee.

Imgur in the short term.
We had hoped that the image upload function would allow any size pics to be uploaded and then would auto be resized. But some work still needed on that. We will get there.
Although there are apps you can use which will reduce file size of your images on your ipad quickly, and then they can be uploaded here.

Thanks Lexx I think I will sort it at work with the techies :thumbs:

It's not very slick and does include ads, but this app is free and allows you to make photos smaller on iPad and iPhone.
