VW93 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) I'm still having problems posting photos unless I take files from my computer. I just tried from Photo Bucket and it did not work so I deleted it.Hopefully an easier method of posting pictures will be available, I'll wait until then.As a few others have said the preview post feature would be great to have back.Other then the picture posting problem and the preview post feature missing I find the new forum look OK.

Gregg Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 With the WYSIWYG posting of a reply now, a preview would be redundant, again, Now, yes, there are some issues with the picture posting, maybe your puter is still taking things from your browser cache, thatʻs a possibility, since the basic setting of the forum didnʻt change.Maybe try clear all caches for your browsers. Itʻs hidden in some, and for Mac, I use Cocktail, which cleans out everything, and then some. Yes, there is a time limit on posting, thatʻs why you get two quotes instead of one. I like that you can insert a previous image, this is from a while ago. I like the drag and drop of files/images. Itʻs making it more in tune to new browsers, etc. I did just have an incredible idea. I know, call da cops. Maybe set up another forum, that mirrors this, but a day late. Create a script that takes all the posts/threads, etc., and puts them into the older style forum. Then, an automatic script updates the site every night at midnight. Charge everyone a hundred bucks a year, Iʻll make a mint!!!!!! :-) just pulling legs, chains, and fingers. still working on that gallery issue Itʻs a sql table problem, and the uploads are lost, I only have backup from 2011, local, but Iʻll see what new server has in backup logs. Itʻs a pain, I know, but it will be worth it. Also, donʻt forget, the Report Post function is your key to getting posts moderated. I get instant emails/notifications of reported posts, and I do act on them as soon as possible. I want to give Harry a break, he doesnʻt need to be babysitting anymore. Got too much stuff for him to do anyway. Mahalo and keep on building! pss. As most of you know, Iʻve been a surgical guinea pig for the back hackers here in Hawaiʻi. Just got word this week that Iʻll be going in for surgery #7 this Fall, maybe Sept/October. This will be the last one, guarans barens Hopefully Iʻll be "back to normal" soon thereafter, and visiting everyone at shows across the country. k den Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Good luck Gregg. I'm really liking the new format now. I'm still learning the little things, but I'm getting the hang of it.Here's wishing you a speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Just thought I'd give the "copy & paste" method a try being as it seems to be one of our only options going forward. Guess it works fine but it sure would be nice if we could get back to the old method at some point. good luck Gregg We really are a "pain in the neck", aren't we?

bandit1 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The old one was a bit easier for me but right now I don't know if it exist but when I use to go on the old one and click somewhere it took me to my content page I think where I can see the threads ive been following and the darker highlighted ones means there was new post in that thread just not sure if it exist anymore on this one or not... now I have to hunt and peck and hit the FOLLOW CONTENT button to just get notifications of threads I want to keep my eye on... i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nytrozilla Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I just tried to update my Charlie Allen topic, but when I paste the URL and hit the button, all I get is a spinning timer. I've done it using this method a week ago. Not working now.Someone suggested using the "add code" brackets but that's not working either.Hopefully, like my hobby room, it's a work in progress.

Platerpants Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 what ever happened to the my content link where i could view my threads and the threads i had commented on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) what ever happened to the my content link where i could view my threads and the threads i had commented on?Now it's on the upper right corner, right under the "search" box.It's now called "New Content".Once you click on it you'll see a box on the left headed by "Content Type", "Filters" & "Time Period".You'll have to set those filters as you want them.I had to set them after the update & now it works exactly as it did when it was called "My Content" in the old format.Hope that's what you were looking for.

youngtiger1 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Nice work with the new look, but for some reason my iPad doesn't like it. I can view threads, but I can't reply or respond to messages. Older version was working fine, but need help to figure out the bugs with the new system. I'm using my desktop to post at the moment, so any help or advice will be appreciated as I like to interact with folks here. TIA.Mike Edited August 4, 2015 by youngtiger1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
