Forum Update/Maintenance & Move - PLEASE READ

#1

Post by TazKristi »

Hey, everyone!
We successfully moved and updated the forum! Happy to be back! I've noted some new features below. If you find any issues or have any questions, please post them IN THIS THREAD.

What's new?

Mentions!—You can now tag another member in a post, and they'll receive a notification. Just use the @ symbol and start typing their username. Then, select the member you want from the list that appears.

Quote Scroll - If you quote a particularly long post, it will now appear in a window within your post with a scroll bar.

Image Paste - If you take a screenshot of something, you can now press ctrl+v to paste the image into a post. If you have an image already saved, copy it from your File Explorer and press ctrl+v to paste the image into your post.

Lightbox—If you click on an image in a post, it will now open in a lightbox window instead of taking you off the post or thread you're in.

Links —When you copy a URL into a post, it will now embed the content (e.g., YouTube videos, social posts, etc.).

Private Messages and Folders—I've increased the maximum number of private messages to 150 and the number of Folders you can have to 8.

Forum Rules - The Forum Rules are now embedded in the forum. You'll find them in the top left corner menu. They've been updated, so please take a moment to review them.

Formatting Editor - We've given you an advanced formatting editor that hopefully provides a better user experience.

Thank you for your patience over the past two days! We hope you enjoy the improvements. We appreciate each of you and all that you contribute to our community!

Kristi
There is nothing more important than this one day.

These updates look really user-friendly. The new design is familiar yet modern. Great job on the update.

I must be addicted because I checked a dozen time since the maintenance. I had a notification in the Photo of the week thread and immediately noticed the quote scroll. It's really nice ! Especially in that thread where we always post pictures and quote them to answer each other :grin-smiling-eyes
:respect In the collection :respect : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Glad to be back! Are all the forum titles on the main page now grey on grey for everyone? I know my eyes are getting old but having the text black like it is here in the thread would help immensely... Is there a user controlled theme change? I turned on some "always bold" option but that only helped a little.

Cool! I was a bit surprised to see it back up so soon.

Taz,

It appears that all of the youtube videos that were previously embedded in posts are no longer viewable here.

I copied a youtube link and posted it here, but it could not be embedded with the media button. I could only post the link in the post, and it doesn't appear embedded, or as a thumbnail image.

Glad it's back up and for the improvements. The "50 shades of grey" color palette makes it harder for me to read though.

If anyone figures out a way to make the overall font bigger for an Android phone, drop a hint. I'm 42 and still trying to avoid my reading glasses for as long as possible. 😬

@Buddafucco you are a dream in this new forum as you were in the last. Let it be for many years to come!

Beau, let me know if that notified you. A drop down did not appear.

@JSumm Nope... No notification and no drop down here either.
Maybe because of Android? :thinking

I don't think that is Android related, but the software they are using. Maybe an Apple user can confirm.

It appears to be the mobile site view. If you switch to desktop site you can see it.
