Wasso Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Quick question, when browsing via my iPhone, there's no option to swap to Web View for instance, is that something that will be considered or turned on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 At the moment we are keeping the mobile skin as a mobile skin. Using the web based one causes some issues with templating. At least this mobile skin is way better than previous one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Also worth noting some avatars are not showing but I'm assuming that might be down to Photobucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Any way to view all members? I can see the option to view online members, but not all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Some Avatars have been lost as they were not able to be taken across to HTTPS. Couldn't be helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 With regards to file uploads, am I right in thinking that the user has to manually edit the file size before they can upload? Looks like the forum will resize as it sees fit in terms of resolution, but it won't alter the actual size in MB/KB/Kb of the picture. Not a complaint, more an observation to make sure I understand it correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 I'll need to get back to you about that. It should resize the actual file size too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 No rush, just playing with stuff. FYI I tried to load a file direct from my PC to see what would happen, it was 1.82MB in size if that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cob1980 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Well done with the forum upgrade looks great!! Do we need to do a gofundme page I've started to move my images from Photobucket but there seems to be a limit of 10 image files per album, is that correct? Thanks.

Mopedmark Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Hi guys well done on the upgrade but I have no photos on my build thread or on the member trader items that I have for sale I have always loaded via photo bucket, is this still available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 You can't use PB any more, unless you pay $399 for it. This is why the forum upgrade was pushed through a bit sooner Basically you'll have to re-up them elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More info from thier own site here. http://photobucket.com/p500/ If you google it, you'll note there's one or two rather upset forums out there.

Unfortunately the issue you are experiencing is not because of our upgrade but because PhotoBucket no longer allow images hosted with them to be displayed on third party sites unless you pay their crippling fee.

Mopedmark Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 So who, which , what where do I go with guys ? I am not a specialist in this sort of tech, the forum will let me use photos from my iPad But the size of them is to large ? Any help would be appreciated, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Imgur in the short term. We had hoped that the image upload function would allow any size pics to be uploaded and then would auto be resized. But some work still needed on that. We will get there. Although there are apps you can use which will reduce file size of your images on your ipad quickly, and then they can be uploaded here.
