Rivmeister Posted 16, January 2015 Report Share Posted 16, January 2015 Just trying to find my way around the new format. Got a few questions: Why does my profile say 0 warning points and others don't? How do I get the Gif to work for my avatar? Will we be able to indicate our car on our profile? Otherwise, nice fresh update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minidriver Posted 20, January 2015 Report Share Posted 20, January 2015 Just trying to find my way around the new format. Got a few questions: Why does my profile say 0 warning points and others don't? Other's warnings are hidden, only mods/admin can see. Other users can't see your warning points either Will we be able to indicate our car on our profile? Admin can set up custom fields for the profile Otherwise, nice fresh update.

minidriver Posted 20, January 2015 Report Share Posted 20, January 2015 How do you mark forums read? For individual forums, you can click on where it says "new posts" in green to clear and mark that forum as read. I run an ipb forum also, and at the bottom of mine there is an option 'mark community read' which does the whole forum, not individual sub forums. might be a setting for it somewhere the admin can switch on.

baltikal Posted 20, January 2015 Report Share Posted 20, January 2015 When you sign in, ensure 'remember me' is selected. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. I've selected 'remember me' when logging in, but when I later try to access a bookmarked forum during a new browser session, I end up on a page titled "Sorry, we can't find that!" followed by a statement that I don't have permission to view that forum, and that I should log in. The old system had a 'log me in automatically' setting that worked like a charm, taking me straight to the requested page. Any other suggestions?

krappy Posted 22, February 2015 Report Share Posted 22, February 2015 Might have to delete cookies to reset to default. Yep that's fixed it - cheers Tommo. I did think that I may need to go that route but was hoping that I had just *missed* where I could do that via the forum itself. Scroll right down to the bottom of the page. The option is down there to go to the full site. He wants to go back the other way. Desktop to mobile. Thanks guys. I couldn't see it at the time because I couldn't get the mobile site back up, but I must've accidently selected the option to switch and was looking for similar on the full site to go back but couldn't see an icon/button/toggle to go back on the full site. Similar forums I am on have the ability to switch between both versions - usually at the top or bottom of the page - so if any mods are reading this, can you please put an option on the full site to allow people to switch back to the mobile version? Saves having to clear cookies/data and then re-enter all your log-ins etc for everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homerlovesbeer Posted 30, March 2015 Report Share Posted 30, March 2015 This new forum is not very mobile friendly. There is no advanced post option shown on a mobile device even when viewing the full website. I personally think that mobile useability has taken a big step backwards for the sake of being pretty. For example it is now impossible to post a youtube link from a mobile device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Name is Earl Posted 27, April 2015 Report Share Posted 27, April 2015 Uhh this is ridiculous but how do I copy and paste text? I've written a lengthy post in notepad on my laptop and pasting said text into the reply box results in... nothing I also have trouble posting photobucket images and web addresses. Basically I cant work out this forum at all. Are there cookies or other computer related mumbo jumbo I can change to fix these issues? I'm using Internet Explorer btw. Thank You!

I can paste ... so it's definitely something on your end. Have you tried using Chrome browser ... even if just to confirm if IE is causing the issue (it does have a habit of being the root cause of a lot of non-performance).

I posted up in my ride thread. I did run into another issue however. I clicked the img address link in photobucket and instead of embedding the picture into my post it left a link to my image [emoji53] . Any pointers?
