Forum Upgrade Discussion...

I can't figure that one out, unless we dropped some when transferring the database. I'll see if we can do a comparison between the two to check it.

for goodness sake don't spend too much time on it. If messenger refers me to previous PM which have gone, I'll just ask for a repeat ... bit like prescriptions at chemist lol

Am I being thick or is Chat still not available? If it is.. where is it?!?!?!?

[Onestepatatime]

Can I ask how I get the ‘new posts’??

The chat box is in progress, we had a plan, but it failed, so we are coming up with a new plan...so it's not come back yet ( we haven't just hidden it from you )( ie it is coming as quick as we can possibly get it sorted )

New Posts - you can use What's New to see everything with the first para of the post, or Today's post to see everything posted today, or Latest Posts to see posts made that you haven't read yet .... all in top navigation bar...

If you're on mobile then click the forum button for the menu and select what's new. Need to work on mobile a little more I think to make that button easy to find/use.

Does that help whatsoever?

Ahh but if you've got PM's missing, other people might have, or other things might be missing that we haven't realised yet .... which is simply annoying lol. Apologies though, if we do figure it out will let you know xxx

Top Left, now called Latest Posts & Today's Posts.

[Amethyst]

Thanks Phaeton. How did you find uploading/attaching the screen shot worked ? Should be a lot simpler than the old way ( that's the plan anyway)

[Phaeton]

Not sure I remember the old way but just clicked on Paperclip, Upload Attachment, browsed to file & uploaded, really simple, only thin I would say is there are 5 options Thumbnail, Small, Medium, Large, Fullsize maybe as a forum you should decide which you prefer & remove the other options otherwise there is too much choice, this is Medium


.

[Amethyst]

Good idea.

Cue experiment on sizes.

1 PHOTO ( using the camera )

1 upload Attachment Small



1 upload Attachment Medium



1 upload attachment Large




----------------------

1 Upload Attachment Full size

[Amethyst]

Okay, I think Photo is best as it appears small and then you can click to enlarge, don't seem to be able to enlarge images attached with the paperclip - so Medium is likely best as standard ........ the paperclip is meant more for PDF's Word Docs etc.... BUT not sure why the camera and paperclip icons are so far apart, it's not clear what you should use - so popping it on the list

Testing with a PDF on the paperclip Home Credit Slovakia v Biroova.pdf

Maybe I'm being Dim, accused of it regularly but What Photo?

[Amethyst]

The camera icon top left of reply box.

If you click on the image it enlarges it. Whereas it doesn't for pics added via the paperclip.
