Thanks
Sorry, got another question, is there a way of getting pictures to embed from Flickr again?

(Tried posting some in this topic but it just showed the links, which don't work)

Seems I can't post in the TPM Meet threads? Any reason for this other than you not wanting to know I can attend meets which might put others off?

^Should be fixed now.

 

Some forums seem to have picked up odd permissions but have gone through and hopefully they are all sorted.

I've had a look and worked out the issue, when you copy in links they copy in with formatting. When you paste that in a message pops up (at the bottom) saying "You have pasted content with formatting" with an option to remove the formatting. Clicking this will make the image embed in the post.

Can't say why the BB Code doesn't work anymore (I know many have been removed so could be this) but using the above simply linking to the image will embed it in the post from flickr.

Any problems please let me know.

Thanks, I'll have a look tomorrow, for now I've just attached the files.

A technical error occurred today - A member was flagged as a spammer and all their posts hidden, but luckily not permanently deleted

This option should not have been available to members and has subsequently been removed; a bug during the move to our new forum style

But all fixed now

Is anyone else having an issue where the latest posts in some topics don't show?

[JamminGamer]

Yeah I mentioned that issue in the Ghost Train thread. Posting in the topic seems to fix it, it did for me anyway.

I haven't yet gotten to grips with embedding YouTube links into posts since the update. How do I do this?

[Marc]

Just pasting the link to the video into the reply box should embed it for you. 

[Celia Mae]

I think you have to go back and get rid of the 's' from https

[Kerfuffle]

Nope I got it figured out. You literally just post it in the reply box as Marc said, only when it comes up with the pop-up that a link with formatting was inserted, you click 'remove formatting' and boom. The link is now a video!

We have migrated the forums and site over to a new server today - hopefully all working ok but if anyone notices anything please let us know

[Ryan]

Really slow loading everything!

Really slow loading everything! 

[CharlieN]

What server is this on now?

 

[JamminGamer]

Same with Ryan, the site loads super slowly now.

Its our own dedicated server - if anything should be super fast but is slow here too leave it with me!

[CharlieN]

Cheers Marc. 

 

It's not the fastest at the moment but I presume that's just a teething problem!(?)

[Marc]

Speed issues are hopefully sorted now - issue with chat is being looked into

[JamminGamer]

Yeah all seems to be running as before now. Thanks for the quick fix!

[Marc]

Have had a few requests for a shoutbox style feature like we used to have - have installed a similar one now which will appear on the right hand side of the forums (When on a PC)

 

Just testing out now to see if theres demand for it! Let us know any feedback

Tapatalk no longer seems to be supported, unless it's just me.

[Marc]

Ohhh your probably right - leave it with me!

 

Hopefully thats fixed now!

[huzzellio]

Yep, spot on, good job!

Tapatalk appears to be broken for me again.  Any ideas?

 

Cheers
