The forum software upgrade is complete. Please report any issues in this thread. 🙂
Change log:
More than a hundred bugs have been squashed. It's not totally bug free yet, but it's getting close.
Buying and selling is now off limits to guest users as per Jim's request. To see these forums, you must register and log on.
The old not-very-functional language files for XMB have been deleted, and so I've reset everyone's language to English. Only the UltimaBB language files for Estonian and Dutch are available at this time. When the new translations for French and German (etc) are available, I will upload them.
The look and feel of the forum has been improved in many places. Please try all these features out and see how you go.
Mod / Admin changes:
All the moderation tools now work, including reporting posts and viewing poster's IPs. Mass moderation should also work, but please be gentle with this feature until you're happy with it.
thanks,
Andrew
Bug's I've noticed so far:
* links created from BBCode or directly from text doesn't seem to work properly. I'll fix that soon
* forum display is slow again on big forums like General ChitChat

the attachments/piccies don't show as you scroll down a thread, they have to be opened in a seperate window????? is that right ???? if so it sucks!
Andrew
deleting own posts...? no can do
The attachments have been that way for some time. Only if people host the pictures offsite, say at photobucket, will the full picture show up in the thread. Unless something else has changed.
Great job Andrew in staying up so late to get this done.

never come accross it before, it makes veiwing detailed threads with text explaining the picture very slow and tedious.
how about not being able to select ba from the pull down menu

That was a new feature to act more like vBulletin. I've turned it off, so we return to our previous look and feel.
thanks,

Can you please give me a few examples?
Andrew
For me, both pages have the full size images with statistics under each image. I clicked on all the images, and a pop up window occurs which contained the image.
What browser are you using - maybe it has something to do with that? I'm using Safari on the Mac.
Andrew
dunno! computer illiterate.
any pics i have put up before today don't pop up
just attached one a minute ago and its fine
i suck at this problem solving hey!
got to go to work sorry for troubling you too much
i'll ask about there on which browser i've got or how to work it out and possibly change it
see ya
[ Edited on 19-11-05 by dumone ]
No, that's a good clue - there was a change to the way in which filesize / file hight / file width is stored. The old images don't have file hight and file width. I'll write the conversion routine and see if it helps.
Andrew
you're the dude!
i just use plain old microsoft internet explorer, just went broadband a few weeks ago and was enjoying all those piccies instantly
just noticed that the item remaining details rattle over in the bar at the bottom of my screen, finally finishing with the number of attachments downloaded and "done", but nuthin'

well done Andrew!
the pics are now back, noticing that they are all 350 X 263 though, no matter what the kb or dimensions you upload them as.
even those being uploaded post changes. Are these the new maximum dimensions?
