The new forum is here!

[Ian]

Hm, I think YouTube video embedding has mysteriously become VB disabled...

[Garry]

But Patmoore embedded a video from YouTube, only 2 days ago, didn't he ?

[patmoore]

It works. I just uploaded another one. Preview doesn't show it. You have to actually post the reply

[Garry]

Appears to be working fine for me. Just hit the play button and watched.

[Ian]

Yes, but i think I've accidentally switched it off today. I'll have a look at it tomorrow. Maybe only applies to some user groups.

[Rodbender]

Testing YouTube. Just an old video I used to sell my old mower. Replaced now with a Brand new automatic version

Seems OK Ian

[Ian]

It might only supply to the admin user group

This is a YouTube video posted using a standard user account

[TestAccount]

I'm not seeing this video!

[TestAccount]

Using Add Link seems to work?

[TestAccount]

I could have sworn just pasting the link into the editor worked previously?

[Garry]

Is it working as expected now ?

First visit here since the new forum launch (thanks Pat for letting me know)
Ian will know that I've been manicly busy launching my own new music media review website (thank you for the like, by the way)

I've got a couple of problems: no longer using Firefox, my main browsers are Opera and Chrome and I'm getting the same error on both. Some images are not displaying, and I'm seeing a link that says "click here for larger version" plus the name and size. When I click, the brower opens another tab with an "Invalid File Specified" message.

I'll add a recent image here as a test - all my web images are under 300kb and 1080px.

[Ian]

Hi Caz - I have found the new forum software, although directly descended from the old software, is radically different and this means I have had to make a lot of reconfigurations. I will certainly look into the problems you have encountered - please keep the feedback coming and congratulations on your new venture

[Ian]

I just came across a megapixel limitation for original size JPG attachments; it was 4608x4608 but I have now increased this to 6600x6600 so images slightly larger than 40 megapixels (which my phone can do) will now work. They will still be resized to 1600 wide or high. I may increase this to 50 megapixel original as some phones can do this resolution - really! - and of course some system cameras.

[Rodbender]

Quick question? Under our user name there is a row of little white blocks. I now have two of these turned red. What do they indicate?

[TestAccount]

That's 'reputation' -an arbitrary representation of your status as an involved forum participant

Doing another test. iPhone X photo 4024 x 3019 px and 3.41 MB



and one more video (somehow it got uploaded twice)

[Garry]

That sunflower really pops. Pat.

[Caz]

Testing an upload straight from my phone: I shot a death metal band at The Palladium last month (not my thing, but a fantastic lightshow).
i took this interior shot on my Google Pixel 3a using night sight

[Ian]

Any problems? It appeared to have uploaded OK

[Caz]

No problem Ian. Although one thing - I've edited my signature but it's still showing my old website at the moment.
