Hi all, just an update: Yesterdays downtime, which was outside of our control, has delayed the time line for the changes to forum features. A further update will be provided in due course.
Over the next 24-48 hours, direct uploads to the media gallery will be disabled, replaced with an external media embed system. For images, please consider uploading to alternative locations such as Flickr as per @Aviador suggestion or somewhere such as Instagram.
Current uploaded images will...
The last upload was made about a month ago, as mentioned in the announcement above, everyone has been uploading into the forum posts instead. I shall tag the users who have the most media and have used the service recently:
@Jerry , @elmdon74 , @andyc941 , @lbaspotter , @Silvercity
At the...
Thanks for the feedback. I worked with @Aviador over the best places to place the adverts to try and prevent the least amount of inconvenience to users to keep the site free for all users, however some placements are automatic, and we have been unable to stop this automatic placement without...
The neighbour below me has a tree that magpies have nested in for many years, you know when the magpies are home as when the pigeons land on it, they are immediately kicked off the tree and you hear lots of noise from the magpies!
Hi all, I've checked some settings, can we please say if it's still happening? On another note Registered+ subscribers should not be nagged anymore and if they are seeing ads, please let me know!
Unfortunately it's not possible to block specific members from posting in individual forums, we can only apply a thread ban or a whole forum wide ban so the next best thing for naughty members are to put all their posts through a moderation queue, which usually works quite well ;)
The member in question has been banned for one month, any further offences once this ban is lifted may result in either a permanent ban or being put on moderation, depending on what rules are breached ;)
Hi all,
I just thought I'd like to say how very much appreciated @White Heather is as outstanding member of the community and echo what everyone else has said. From an outsiders perspective with little to knowledge of said subjects discussed across the forum but with years of experience...
Hi all,
I'd like to clarify something i.e. maintenance wise. Yesterday I attempted to perform some upgrades, unfortunately the server crashed as I tried to take a backup due the size of the forum being over 13GB mostly thanks to all of your amazing photos from over the years!
While I believe...
Apologies for any issues today, I was planning on updating the site but sadly something went wrong so the upgrade has been postponed. Apologies again for any inconvenience caused.
Hi all,
Just to say that I believe I have now restored a proper version of the dark style. I will be upgrading the site to XF 2.3 but now with a working dark style base, it should hopefully make things a bit easier for when I perform the upgrade!
I'm not aware of making any changes to the advertisement placements, just the coding that should remove them for subscribers, I suspect Google has changed the way the adverts are placed or displayed again as this was discussed in length with @Aviador
Hoping the 2.3 update will make it easier for adding reactions based on emojis as I feel we're missing the "care" reaction and could add others such as "cool" :)
Thanks for the report, I will investigate this as soon as I can!
UPDATE: I've updated the code, please let me know if you are still seeing adverts anywhere or the request to upgrade your account and if possible, share screenshots. Thanks
