cort16 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 When I try to post an Image with a URL like http://pictures2.autotrader.co.uk/imgser-uk/servlet/media?id=211130297 Which is the format Autotrader users the post saids "forum doesn't support this image format". I guess it's because it doesn't have an extension on it? Is this a config thing? Thankz you plz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveb47 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 It is a jpeg,but named as JPEG.Only way to post it is to rename extention of image from .JPEG to .jpegOr download it and then attach it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Just to let people know there are scores of spammers trying to post on here, but Dave's system is catching them out. We're currently binning quite a few per day now so (fingers crossed) we can stop them from actually having any posts at all seen on the forum. If any do get through just report them please. trigger, catsinthewelder, Justin Case and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDeere Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Hi Dave, Search seems to be broken at the moment - gives an error message Search is not available as the Sphinx API is not available, please contact an administrator about this issue Also, could you confirm that the NSA does not have a back door into the Autoshite forum? I would be very concerned if America's finest spies were snooping on suspicious rammell-renovating activity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SambaS Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Erm, I know your probably on bigger fish at the moment but.... Is it possible to have more choice than the previous 3 pages, I'm sure the old form did, like 6 or something. I only really ever notice this on the eBay thread tho Also instead of the first 3 pages of the thread, can this give the option of the last few.. again I think the old forum did this. If I'm being mental please just ignore me. The new forum is pretty good like taa to all for work that its taken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruJoe Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 That's a valid point, and well made Edd, I agree on that. Perhaps we could have the little box that you could type the page number in, as RRides (used to) have. Also, I think this new forum has 20 posts per page, instead of the 15 we had before. So my spottings thread now has only 29 pages instead of the 38 it had before, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Norman Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 The new forum certainly takes a bit longer to load per page than it used to, maybe there's a way of cutting the posts back Dave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_lihp Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 That's a valid point, and well made Edd, I agree on that. Perhaps we could have the little box that you could type the page number in, as RRides (used to) have. You have that - click the text that says Page x of x to get the box up. For me, on rather flakey broadband and 3G, this site is much, much quicker than the old one. In fact it's an enormous improvement in every way and Dave deserves a Shitehood.

Wilko220 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Yes, sorry to disagree guys but I also find the new site much quicker and think that having more posts per page is more convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I haven't found any performance issues. One query though - is there a Preview option for posts? I like to make sure my pic links are working before posting 'live.' I have just found the button that toggles the code, so you can edit picture links in someone else's posts. This is very useful for quoting folk in Ebay thread, and changing the number at the end of the ebay photo link so the photo is smaller (seems to default at 12 for normal size, but if you change it to 50, you get a smaller pic for your reply).

KruJoe Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Thanks for that info Ian.Yes, there's a [preview post] button right next to the [add reply] button, but you have to click the [more reply options] button before you see it. That opens up a reply page like we had on the old forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Dave, do we have any progress on the over-wide borders issue? It's not a problem for users with big, wide screens, but not us mere mortals with a modest 14 inches. The text is small on this new site, so I have to [ctrl +] zoom in to read it. This makes the banner at the top of each page too wide as you can see on my screenshot, and necessitates a scroll to the right.Is this caused by the size, or number of these buttons in the banner? ForumsMembersGalleryDownloadsCalendarHomepageContact Us Maybe is you binned off CALENDAR and HOMEPAGE, that could help? (The latter is a duplicate, and we don't need the calendar do we?) Those deleted would still leave the big empty brown margins of an inch at each side... Thanks again for your hard work so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveb47 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 The first step is to check that you have the correct video drivers installed on your laptop as a 14" screen should easily show complete board without scrolling.I really dont want to start altering board as homepage is just that and is needed,calender is used for events,birthdays etc,and will probably be used more as people get used to board.
