Techs are still looking at image issues. Not least why members can't select any number and move them to a different album.

Latest Posts button
Chris Bott - Moderator replied to Chris Bott - Moderator's topic in Report A Problem
Haha me too Leccy. That text reflects whatever you set as your default stream. If a member hadn't changed it, until today it said Unread Posts and that's what it showed. -
Latest Posts button
Chris Bott - Moderator replied to Chris Bott - Moderator's topic in Report A Problem
It has if you customised the existing or made your own stream and saved it as default. But for those who didn't and for anyone not logged in, it is now there as shown. -
Latest Posts button
Chris Bott - Moderator replied to Chris Bott - Moderator's topic in Report A Problem
I guess it's also worth pointing out for some that on the mobile version, this is now the Latest Posts button (unless you've made your own customised version) -
Quick guide - Tagging threads and people...

Yep that sent me a notification. -
Latest Posts button
Chris Bott - Moderator replied to Chris Bott - Moderator's topic in Report A Problem
You're right Matty, if you've already set a default - then that will remain. But Latest Posts now shows for those that haven't, for anyone not logged in and for none members just browsing the site. -
I've managed to turn the Unread Content button, top right, into a Latest Posts one that's as close as possible to the one on the old forum. Even none members and members not logged in will see it like that now. Let us know if this is an improvement, it can always be changed back.

Uploading of pictures and format.

Hmm. Is the offending photo, the graph that posted OK above? -

Dickw could you try something and report back? The pic that you're having trouble with, but can see the thumbnail in albums. Try a right click on the thumbnail and then open in new tab. -

New forum Sandbox - try things in here.
Chris Bott - Moderator replied to Dwain Dibley.'s topic in Forum User Guides

OK Understood, I'll ask what options are available.
-
Ace, have a look at the sandbox Gary has done some very interesting picture size tests posting the same photo in many different sizes. Oh, PS - The double spacing thing always annoyed me on the old forum too.
-
There's a choice in the dropdowns to choose between "all" of my search term words or "any" of my search term words. Of course "all" still doesn't need to find them in the correct order or even together. So, try putting your search phrase within inverted commas. e.g. "longest scarf"

Martin, as has been explained before, the old forum software had become unsupportable, no changes could be made and as time passed there was more and more chance of there being security issues. We're now in the very fortunate position of having the vast majority of historical data preserved and a modern, maintainable forum. The alternative would probably have been a clean slate with no posts, pictures or registered members saved. As for the search box, it's vastly superior, especially if you use the drop down to adjust search parameters as you wish.

Adding text between pics, when you've uploaded them they sit at the bottom of the page but there's a + (plus) button for each one. Hit that to place it in your typed thread. I guess it goes where you left the cursor. -
Site Problems?
Chris Bott - Moderator replied to Martin Harris - Moderator's topic in Report A Problem
I'm sure the Invision Community labels are simple to change. Thanks for pointing both out. I guess we've been 1) Getting things working then 2) Tweaking appearance and features. Now, there's probably a load more subtle stuff to go through as it becomes noticed. -
Site Problems?
Chris Bott - Moderator replied to Martin Harris - Moderator's topic in Report A Problem
Wildcards appear to raise the letter count in searches. Careful what you wish for though, this search took quite a few seconds So - Try searching for NGH* Quite a few results come up. -
Site Problems?
Chris Bott - Moderator replied to Martin Harris - Moderator's topic in Report A Problem
I believe that Google is giving us results from when it scoured the internet before our forum change. So the links it's coming up with are pointing at the old site, which isn't there. If a historical link does bring up a page, it must be a (Google probably) cached copy. These will diminish over a short period, I'd hope. -
Site Problems?
Chris Bott - Moderator replied to Martin Harris - Moderator's topic in Report A Problem
Is this actually a problem, Cymaz? I can ask the question but would probably put a low priority on them looking at it, unless it's causing an issue.
