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.

New software is up and running

We still have to tidy up a few things which we will over the next few days

Thanks Lads

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

Camo, how do I get the pictures back in my post (71 rebuild)?

I'll go have a look. Give me a minute or two

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

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

That's all you have to do

I've done up to and including page 10. You can do the rest if thats ok?

wabco40 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 05, 2012, 12:46:45 PM »

Ok Camo, thanks

Cool

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

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.

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

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

Nah we can't make it pink camo.

We made AMCCA pink.

Pinks gone.

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?
