Forum Upgrade - Any Issues?

[Muhammad]

May I offer two suggestions please?

1) Loose the "asset manager" for uploading files, it is harder to use IMHO. If you turn it off then it's very simular to the old SW version.



2) For viewing pictures, can we use the newer VB4 viewer that pops open a window and lets you view all the attached photos to that post? Sorry, I cannot remember where or what this is called.

This way we can view all the pictures in one popup.

Whenever we implement any sort of photo popup, lots of people complain. I think the way it is now is best for TBN since it gives people more control over photo viewing. Most will just right click and view in a new tab while navigating through a thread.

I agree...I suspect pop-up blockers may inhibit viewing of attachments.

I bet Muhammad will think long and hard before he upgrades this site next time, for all the sleepless nights he has had in the last week or so

I remember back inthe late 80's and 90's when i ran a BBS pre internet.. it was usually a all day and night marathon getting the system back up with minimal function, and then pieceing it together over the next week. looks like not much has changed on that process over the decades..

Technology evolves; but the human component of new system rollout hasn't changed much since when I had to set each user's network address by jumpers on their network card.

Muhammad, we don't expect everything will be completed all at once. :thumbsup:

And this would be TBB (TractorByBBS ) rather than TBN

I definitely remember setting irq, address, dma channels via jumper on card.

Wow PTSD flashback. I had suppressed the awful memory of having to set those variables (as well as unique IP) on each user's NIC. Go under desk/open case/pull card/set jumpers/fail-to-boot/set-something-else/try again, and it seemed like everyone's PC in the whole office needed a different unique magic combination of settings before it would run. For the second generation of NICs we bought, we paid the $100 premium each to get DHCP-aware cards.

I expect Muhammad is facing similar, just with different variables to manipulate. Hopefully all on-screen and not inside the hardware.

I see that the default "Reply to thread" has gone to Quick Reply. I thought it was going to stay 'Advanced"? I'd swear it was Advanced yesterday? I prefer advanced as default.

I know it's a small issue but still an issue. I mainly use the iPhone app. The participated is still only showing the threads I started. I guess I could subscribe to all I've participated? I wasn't paying attention when I mentioned this earlier. I said it was some old and some new threads not realizing it was all threads I started. Thanks

Bump. Sorry

Thanks Steve.

I still prefer Advanced as default. I posted as much in the other thread. From the looks of it most like Quick, so I'm the odd man out... Again
