Welcome back

That's something we could add back in.

Thank you for considering that. This is one of my favorite sites, and I appreciate that you are maintaining it!

Why are all the profile pictures .. at least on my iPad, blurry?

Looks like they got blown up from lo-res versions.

It's so nice and easy to add pictures now.

Resizing is also fast and easy to use.

I never did get my head around how Joomla worked. Even bought and read the Nutshell book.

Hate to admit it, but I was 40 years younger when I started coding. Twenty years seems like a blink of an eye.

BTW, Ibrahim, Is it safe to assume you were in cahoots with Muhammad in pulling off the TBN migration? If so, thanks a million, and well done.

But don't be restin' on your laurels too long; all the edit tools (bold, emojis, etc.) look like they're disabled now.

Yes, we're in cahoots. He's my big brother and has been responsible for every single downtime since the beginning. Joking aside, he handles the server administration and back end and I take care of the layout and front end and banning people.

Well imagine if you took your truck to the mechanic and he told you that it needed a new transmission but they didn't make them anymore and one day it would give out and you'd be stranded and forced to buy a new truck on the spot. Then factor in that it's not just any truck but a commercial truck that you use for your business and you have a whole host of people who rely on that truck. Hypothetically, would you rather bite the bullet and get a new truck that would give you reliability, better performance, and years of service, in exchange for controls that are slightly different? Or would you just keep that old truck and hope it doesn't give out, despite the mechanic's advice?

Just noticed the ability to enlarge thumbnails and scroll through the them. Nice!

@Muhammad Is there a way to change how many post per page it shows? I'm sure it's right in front of my eyes.

It's not implemented yet, but I've got it on the list.

Good, I liked the old 40 posts per page option.

I'm using two mid 90s cars that run as much on hope as gasoline.

Yours doesn't appear blurry to me.

 

[downsizingnow48]

Half my avatar photo is gone. Doesn’t need to be fixed just making a note.

It's been less than 3 hours so will take time for people to get used to it, and I"m sure you will find a few other bugs to work out. One thing I notice; there's no way to cancel a draft instead of posting it. Perhaps I"m the only one who has writer's remorse before hitting that button?

Getting use to it and liking are two different things for me, I dont like it hence the name Oldpath.... For instance I now have to click on each picture one at a time and now have 15 pages instead on 2 which just adds more clicking, I prefer scrolling down not clicking, least spell check still works workss......

Oops, found the problem. I had used the Toggle BB code option while fiddling with the HTML in my Signature, and forgot to toggle it back. Now all the editor goodies work.

AVs are clear, but some (not all) have clearly been cropped.
