New Forum Software! Help us find issues.

[Greg]

Hey everyone, welcome to the next step for RME... the Xenforo forum software! There will be some time before we're all used to the new layout, where different buttons and options are. In the meantime, if you see any issues or something that isn't working, please use this thread to post up and share what you see.

It will take us a little time to get all the bugs worked out, so please be patient!

It seems any post with a picture has a giant blank space before the post ends. The more pictures the longer the black space after the post...

Using a fairly new dell on internet explorer.

Can you take a screenshot?

Almost every photo is like that. The blank in the shot there is only about 1/4 of the entire size.

This one is below the Cherokee. Bout 3 times the size of the photo. Doesn't do it for youtube videos or small attached photos/thumbnails?

The animated avatars didn't copy over properly... and we've been slowly adding back the smilies. I'll get yours back asap!

Not sure if this is mentioned but I just noticed that when inserting quotes, quotes from outside of the thread I'm commenting on will populate in the box and I had to delete them prior to entering my reply.

Yea the quoting system is very different... it keeps a list of posts that you added to the 'multi-quote' thing. You have to remove them when you are done I guess. It's interesting but I've found it pretty useful in some instances.

Greg, I just looked back through the trip report you made of our run on Hell's Revenge. I noticed that the Potato Salad Hill vids you posted at the end are not clickable now. Is that a problem with the software rollover?

Yeah, it's a difference in how the videos are embedded. I just tried to edit the vids, but now the forum software wants me to limit the images to no more than 20 before I can save the edit. Let me play around and see what I can do.

Now with videos, you can simply copy and paste the URL into your post and the video will show up.... you don't need to add the Tags or use a button to insert it.

I found it, updated the count to 20!

I have not found a way to cancel a post. If you start a post and leave the web page, your started post will appear every time you enter that thread again. Even days later. Is there a way to cancel a post?

Can we set the forum software to allow attaching Sketchup drawing files (.skp) ?
I'd like to share the plans for my TIG cart.

The software automatically saves a post, which makes it nice when something happens and you close a window accidentally. It saved a huge post I was writing and my laptop restarted. You can un-save posts by clicking on the 'Hard Disc' on the right, in the toolbar above the reply box. You have the option to 'Save Draft' or 'Delete Draft'.

I think so? Let me see... OK, give it a try.

I don’t see a disc on the phone version. Am I blind?

Thanks Greg, it works now but for some reason attaching a file has to be done in a new reply. Can't seem to find a way to add it to an existing post.

nevermind, user malfunction ...

10,000 characters per post. Can you bump?

Not sure what it was on vB but it must have been bigger

Yeah, I think we changed that on vB... I'll see if I can find where to make that change with Xenforo.
