New Forum Software Installed
« on: October 04, 2012, 10:15:19 AM »
G'day lads and ladets.

Within the next few days, possibly tonight 04/10/12 depending on work load, we are installing new software for the forum.  During the installation the forum will be turned off.  Should only be for a few hours.

Thanks Lads :thumb:

There is a new location field and a new custom field in your profile settings that you can fill in if you wish.  Look at my avatar and you will see where they will appear.

There is also a setting in your profile where you can also set you menu's in your profile to appear as a side bar rather than a drop down

Ahhhhh sh#t!  We have to remove the size in the image tags.  The new software uses a different code. 

In the future you will not have to put the size in as the new software will automatically resize the images.

Back in six hours when i finish :banghead:

If it's only removing the size in the image tags I can do it later when I get time.

Cool :thumb:

I did the last page too

All you have to do is change it from this:
Code: [Select]
[IMG=700x525]http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff391/wabco40/IMG_5290.jpg[/IMG]
to this

Code: [Select]
[IMG]http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff391/wabco40/IMG_5290.jpg[/IMG]
And the system will automatically then put in it's own code when you post it :hi:

No problems. I did one with my iphone and it worked. I am at work at the moment so will do the rest when I knock off.

I jumped on this morning and was a little confused.  I thought I was on the muzzy forum at first. :)
Maybe change the default colour scheme to at least make them a little different.

Them don't look like mustangs at the top.  :grin:

We'll play with themes further down the track once we get it all running smooth.  Might change MOCA'S to pink.  Look after that site too  :lol:

... They'd probably be looking for a new webmaster if you did that, but go ahead by all means. :lol:

Not real keen on the automatic thread subscription feature. I guess the awkward "Unnotify" means Unsubscribe? Woulds suggest using SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE instead.

I couldn't use my old password? I had to get sent a link to a new password, has anyone else had a problem? Could be because the old one was only 5 letters and not the new 8? Some less computer illiterates may have a problem working it out?
