Announcement Welcome to the RPF's Forum Upgrade Support Thread

Just noticed something out of whack:

In the Project Runs forum, I get the following message "(You have insufficient privileges to post here.)"

 

Wow thanks for confirming what the better half always tells me, I have small feet and a big mouth!

Seriously though, deeply honored!

 

...I should add that I AM able to reply to existing threads in the Project Runs forum, I just can't start a new thread at the moment.

 

More than a few have had that problem, but Art is pretty swift in taking care of it.

 

Thanks!

 

Is there no longer a limit on "conversations"?

 

Today I noticed that members who were banned no longer display banned under their usernames. I did see the ‘Gone but not forgotten” banner, so thought I’d bring it to your attention.

 

Why won’t my pictures load and take ages to down load
Please tell me what to do
I’ve clicked on the pic logo
Clicked on upload a file
Added a photo
Loaded 100%
Error not loaded

It’s all sorted now they are loading, it’s fixed itself
And I love the new size pics

 

do the alerts only stay active for so long? if so can i suggest like a 12/24hr timeline, i use that alert icon to show me new posts on threads im following etc, and if i dont see the notice i move on, ive missed a bunch of information because of disappearing alerts

 

Is it bad that the only thing I'm really taking from this is I can now be tagged? Lol

 

Hey there
I purchased premium membership literally a week or 2 before the host change. It seems that I lost the membership. Can you take a look at it?
All the best

No worries, thank you for your effort!

 

One thing I miss on this forum (and all forums I'm on that have switched to XenForo) is the ease of marking a forum as 'Read'.
You now click on 'Mark Forums Read' (which takes an extra step to even find on mobile...) and a popup appears asking you to confirm you meant to press that, and asking if I want to mark this sub forum, or the entire forum as read.

Just curious, even if you guys don't want to do it, is there a way to make it a simple 'clicked and it's done, for the sub-forum I'm viewing' like the old forum software? Seems weird that XenForo made this simple, and heavily used task, so much more complicated...

Also, when on the main forum screen, double-clicking the little icons next to a sub forum used to mark it as 'Read'. Is there a way to do that in XenForo? (Again, even if you don't want to on the RPF, that I understand, just curious if it's even an option to set that up like other forum software...)

Fortunately I've gotten used to it due to other forums switching over, so I can live with it...

 

seems good today!

 

Here’s a particularly intersecting glitch I just found:

 

Whats the glitch? Placement? (I dont see the ad in context? where was it placed?)

or are you referring to the 'old' dates for the 'sale'?

 

Or that his screen shot says it was taken on September 13, 2018?

 

I apologize if this has been asked, but on the old forum when I went to my threads list, any thread that had a new response would show the thread title in bold, so you new it had something new. I’m not seeing that here, is there something similar that will indicate when looking at my threads ones that have an unread new post?

 

If you click at the top on "watched threads", it will ONLY show your watched threads with new posts. Once you click and read them, they disappear off the list.
If you mean clicking on "Replica Props" and showing the threads, then yes, the new ones are in bold blue, and the old ones are in non-bold blue. I have already mentioned this one, that it's not pronounced enough, and was told they might address it in the future.

 

This is the old chart.....what is the new chart ? Or where is it so I can visit it ?
I have over 2000, but am not a Master Member, so I assume the chart has changed.
Thank you.

 

EDIT - Accidental Duplicate Post

 

I think we may be talking about two different things. I don't have any watched threads, I don't use that function and never watch threads. I was referring to the old forum when I clicked on "Find all threads by azheat01", I would see a list of all MY started threads, and the ones that had new posts were all in bold. Made it easier to see which threads had new responses. Here I click on "Find all threads by azheat01", and it brings them all up, but the threads that have new responses aren't bold, so I have no idea. I don't want to have to start at the top and go through ALL my threads to see which ones have new responses. Unless someone quotes my post and I get an alert, I won't know without actually going to that thread.

 

It’s how the ad embedded itself into the attachment slot. Here’s another one that completely covered up Funky’s post, making it unreadable until I refreshed the page:

Sorry if I’m bothering people by posting these, but I thought it was worth showing how ads embed themselves just about anywhere.

 

I dont see the URL in the screenshot... are you on the https url?

The first screenshot had an odd sate on it.. like before the move? or any tweaks were done?

Is there a link to that thread? I will turn off my CSS styles and see if they inject or show for me as well..

 

I found another thread that has a similar, issue, but I reloaded/exit windows and used multiple browsers, but the glitch in this thread would not go away:

Link to the thread if any one wants it, just scroll down a ways and you’ll see it:
Teecrooz’s Prop Collection Thread - lightsabers, blasters, and helmets

 

OK, I swear I searched for this, but haven't found the answer. Do I have to host my images outside the RPF now to post them in my thread? It use to be you clicked in the picture icon, selected the image from your computer, and uploaded it to the thread. Now when I click on the image, it's asking for a URL?

 

there's an 'upload a file' button beneath the message box

Question - Can´t upload a pic from my media-folder when using a smartphone

 

I was just in my profile page and noticed that I'm no longer considered a male, which last time I looked I was. I'm now considered unspecified. I tried to change this and got an error message saying I needed to fill out all required fields. This was something I had set properly on the old site. Can this be fixed?

 

Just checked.. I was 'unspecified' as well.. however I got no errors changing it.

 

Thanks, I did even know that I didn't have a first name listed but I guess I joined before that was needed.

 

Awesome, thank you!

 

First, a HUUUUUUUUUGE thanks to the mods who've put in a ton of work. I guess the idea of a darker background so that text/ etc pop a bit better is not doable? Also, still having to sign in each and every time I come on to the site. Cleared out the cookies/ etc., but I can be on the site twice in the same day, and still have to sign in.

 

Hey Art, do you happen to know the answer to this. Posted before but no one has chimed in yet with the correct info.

It use to be when I clicked to show a list of all threads I created, the ones with new responses since the last time I was on would be bold. Doesn't seem to be the case with the new platform. Is that just an option this software doesn't have? It's kind of frustrating not knowing which threads I've created have new responses without going down the list and actually clicking on each one and checking. Just a few days ago I clicked on the first thread listed and there was nothing new, but I clicked on the second thread and it did, I just had no way of knowing. You would think the one with the new responses would be listed first, which helps a little, but that wasn't the case. The only way I think I would know is if someone quoted me. I noticed this same issue over on TDH when that was upgraded some time ago.

For the record, I'm talking about when I click on my profile and go to "Information", and then click on "Find all threads by azheat01".

Sorry to ask again, I know there are more important things than this right now.......

 

Hi Art!

Weird things happening with my account. Seems I lost posting privileges in the junkyard "runs" section (can't see the button any longer), but my account still shows "premium member" status, and also... I can't seem to search for any old posts! I have a few runs going in the junkyard but when I search, only ONE comes up, no matter what word I use or if I search for posts "by me" or not. Tried logging out and back in again, but nothing changed. Maybe a caching error or something going on?

 

Once more, I bow to your glorious magnificence, Sir!

 

Hi, I know you are probably busy with more important fixes, but noticed that I cannot post in my own WTB thread to bump it, like on the old forum. If that is intentional, then that's how it is, but if it's supposed to be how it used to be, then I thought I should at least mention it.

Cheers.

 

I miss Tapatalk ability.
