MANY thanks!
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

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

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.

Well as a computer systems consultant I bet he will still upgrade....
One thing that was said here was that the upgrade was major... That likely contributed to feature changes and major config parity...
I have upgraded systems from version 5 to version 8 on a few occasions and the. I have to spend lots of time to correct things that no longer work "right" but often those things are items that were tweaked based on how version 5 worked... Subtle changes in version 6, 7 and 8 added up and the functionality was totally different...
Had the upgrades been done more frequently, at least for my customers, the issues would have been practically non existent!
I would venture to say the same happened here.....

Favicon (Firefox Taskbar Icon) is now properly the Yellow Tractor. This is on a new desktop PC that I just now put in use. (Intel I-7 3rd generation, Win 7, Firefox 13.0.1). I still don't understand why the blue V logo persisted on the old desktop PC regardless of purging cookies, Refresh, etc but that computer is no longer used so the issue is gone.
Thanks for all the work you are putting into this, Muhammad.

Minor issue: I see the time allowed to edit a post without getting that 'edited by' footer is now less than 20 minutes. I make too many typos that I don't see for a while - could that time be moved back to at least 30 minutes?

If this is done, PLEASE make it optional. I have to use one of those on several other forums I frequent and it bugs me to not be able to middle click on each picture and have them load in their own tabs. Its fine for IE6 and other non-tabbed browsers, but I have tabs for a reason and I like to use them.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?

That viewer is used on a couple of other sites I visit and it doesn't start reliably on any of them. If this change is considered, I suggest work the bugs out of it before making it the default here. For now, I prefer new tabs for the photos.

it's all part an parcel.
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 suystem 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..
