I am running Opera as my browser. Since approximately 18:30 EST if I login my name shows up in the users online however the login tab in the menu doesn't show up. If I try to go into the general discussion area I get an error message and I can not logout.

IE works OK and I need to use IE to logout and refresh Opera to get my name off the user online list.

Is this a problem on my end??

Happy New Year to all!! Cheesy

thanks,
dave

Howard,

I changed a setting to fix this. Go to edit your profile and under Options, find Post and Board Notifications. Select yes to Notify Me of new Notifications by Email.

You would not have seen this before because it wasn't there. Is now....

Good news and bad news.....I thought I was being smart waiting till this new build had been out for a few months before doing it. Silly me.

We have a few bugs here...one of which makes the search function not work. Very soon an update for the update that is supposed to fix this stuff. That's the good news.

The bad news is that I'll have to take the forums down again for a short time to do this update.

No worries.....I'll git er done.

Dave,

Glad it's working for you now.

Tom what do I need to change to view a complete image in the upgraded forum?

The right side is missing but I can click on the image and it will open to a new screen with the ability to scroll left and right.
Below is how images look before and after clicking on them.
Of course I can't see all of those either. I can only read the added text to " where's the rest of" and "the picture is" is cut off.

Rick,

Not sure I understand the question fully.

Clicking on the image is one way to view larger images that are not fully visible in thread view. Then they open up in a viewing box that allows you to scroll them and see all the image.

The other way is to click on the image file name above the image and open it up in another browser window, which also allows a larger view and scroll bars to slide larger images.

The scroll bars that used to appear around larger images in thread view have been eliminated.

That explains it Tom. Thanks.
I'll get used to it just that all the images complete or not look cut off on the right side like there is part of it missing and in a lot of cases there is. You can't tell until you open them in a new window or the viewer.

I think you want Board notification. When viewing a board you should see a notification button. Pushing this button will enable you to choose to receive notifications for all new posts or new topics only. Do this for each of the boards you want notification for.

Never tried this but it should send an email, if you have selected to receive emails for notifications in your profile options.

We are having a problem with the file size limit. The 8000kb limit is not allowing files that large. Not sure where the limit is but I found that a 5000kb file was not allowed. I increased the limit to 15,000 and still no go on a 5000kb file.

Now I set it for no limit. Still can't upload a 5000kb file.

So, we have a little problem here we are working on. Hope to get this resolved soon.

Thanks for your patience.
