The new forum is here!

WARNING - this thread is full of problem solving test posts!

Welcome to the new forum - it's still a baby and needs plenty of configuration and styling so I hope you will bear with me over the next few days and weeks.

I will post some instructions on how to show photos in your posts shortly. (Now posted here)

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to post them here.

If anything appears not to be working properly, please do let me know as well.

Thanks,

Ian

No spell check, Ian ?

[Ian]

OK, I will add that to the to-do!

[Ian]

One of the new features is a special kind of post called a comment - it means your response can be attached to the post you are responding to, like this.

[Garry]

Thanks ! I'll need it

[Ian]

I am aware that various icons and smileys are not mapped properly I will fix this asap!

Problem uploading...…

I have down sized a photo to upload. My image is 352.4kb

When I try to upload a subscript appears telling me that my image of 685.9kb is larger than the 390.6 kb limit

[Ian]

The limit is 400K and 1600x1600 (JPG). I haven't tested the image uploading yet and a different image processing library is being used.

[Ian]

I don't believe there is a native spell check in the editor; you should enable this in your browser, sorry. I'm using Firefox and it does work well.

[Garry]

Subscript definitely states 390.6kb limit. But that isn't the problem. Problem is that my 352kb is showing as 685kb ?

[Ian]

It's a bug - works fine on the other vBulletin site and have flagged this with the web hosting admins as they probably have to reconfigure some image management settings for me.

[Garry]

OK. I'll watch and check it out tomorrow. See if I can upload then.

[Ian]

[Ian]

This one worked - and the exif metadata has been preserve as well.

[Ian]

1600x1200 JPG

[Garry]

Strange ! I have double checked my image and tried again. Still showing 685.9KB I'll try something else.

[Ian]

Yes, sorry Garry - my shot worked because it was originally significantly smaller than the upload limit of 400K. The fix is still to come.

Looking good

[Ian]

Nice to see you Peter - how is weather down in the Channel Islands at the moment?

[Garry]

OK! Now realised that I was NOT using the reduced image.

But when I upload now. It shows as a thumbnail. How did you show your photo as full size ?

[Garry]

Looking good

Hi Peter. How have you been ? Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
