Wayne Dowler Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 Alright, who changed things?? Now I'm completely confused on where to go to get what used to be a regular thing!!! Fess up - who's behind this??!! Quote
--Pete Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 At a guess, John is experimenting with new features available on IP.Board, either in anticipation of changing the Rev site, or to distinguish Kitelife from the Rev site. Quote
--Pete Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 A little exploration: -- I don't seem to be able to access either my Profile or my Private Messages -- Seems a bit slow as well Quote
--Pete Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 Having trouble editing my posts as well., Quote
--Pete Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 Avatar has been stretched to a square. I will have to make a new avatar which IS actually square. Quote
John Barresi Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 Hi guys, we just had a overdue forum upgrade... Firefox seems to be a little quirky, but Chrome tested 100% okay on this end. "Profile photos" are gone, so all avatars have gone square, sorry! We generally roll out major upgrades here first, then on the Rev forum when it's absolutely necessary. The old version of the forum software was giving some excessively long queries, and of course, become more and more susceptible to security issues. Feel free (please) to continue posting "what-why" feedback here if anything continues to act quirky... Your feedback is important! Out of general principle, you may want to hold down the shift key and refresh the forum index page, just to clear your cache. Quote
John Barresi Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 FYI, got into my messages and profile with no problem... Messages: Link to profile: Slightly new look and locations, but they should be accessible to all in the upper right corner? Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Posted August 15, 2011 I'm slowly getting the hang of things, but can't seem to get the smiley faces to either appear in my post or get any drop down menu to change them from the only one I see!!! Any help?? Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Posted August 15, 2011 Tried to edit my last post and got a message that an error occurred - didn't know what topic I was attempting to moderate! Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Posted August 15, 2011 Messenger and notifications are ok, but I can't get to my profile using the upper right! It will say " your profile" but doesn't go anywhere!! I can access my profile from any post that I've put up before!! Quote
Baloo Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 It looks good though. Seems to work OK. Bit of a voyage of discovery, lots of options to click to get it to behave how it was B4 the change. Just edited this ost OK. Sorry shoud read Post, there you go just edited it again. My sig has gone a bit wonky though. Will have a look when I get time (back to doing the accounts) Quote
Reef Runner Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 No major problems, yet ! Hey, Pete sure looks better ! Appears that my signature is missing ??? Opps, no, it's still there ? Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Posted August 15, 2011 Any body getting the smileys to work?? I'm still getting an error message when I try to edit!! Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Posted August 15, 2011 I agree that it looks good, just need to clean up the few bugs in the system!! I'm using google chrome for all my forum stuff, seems to be faster than Firefox!! Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Posted August 15, 2011 When I hit edit, a loading icon flashes and my original message is put on to edit! I'll do the editing, hit save changes, get the error message!! Quote
Reef Runner Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 Any body getting the smileys to work?? I'm still getting an error message when I try to edit!! NOPE ! opps..................YEP ! Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Posted August 15, 2011 I feel all lost and all I want to do is cry!!! Smileys will work as a starter!!! Edit too!! WAAAAAAAA!!!! Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Posted August 15, 2011 Where did all the posts go?? I put my image on here several times and now it's gone!! Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Posted August 15, 2011 Sorry, had the wrong topic (I'm easily confused) and thought we'd lost a bunch of posts!!! Quote
Reef Runner Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 Where did all the posts go?? I put my image on here several times and now it's gone!! They are all still here ! Every one of them !!!! Quote
Reef Runner Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 Looks like Avatar & Profile Photo, now have to be the same, but I think there are some size requirements, for your profile photo to appear (?) Still a bit confused as to what's going on, because John said that the profile photos were gone (?), Not sure about that, because mine is there, his is there, and when I check other people's profiles, their's are there, likewise.............. Magic, I suppose, or maybe Voodoo ? Didn't this forum have a "Spell Checker", before ??? I really need that................ Quote
Reef Runner Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 Yep, this thing did have a "spell checker"...............HELP ! John, please bring back the "SPELL CHECKER" PLEASE ! Quote

Check your profile. It just needs to be square and of a certain size. Not sure about that, but I couldn't get a 250 x 250 to show, but once I exceeded 300 x 300, the profile photo showed up. Please bring back the "Spell Checker", if possible........... ps..... I think you could drop the default font on size. Mine seems to be on 14. IMHO, I think 12 is ample, don't you ??? Quote
