Title: Message board updates
Post by: SuperSix on July 05 2018, 02:39:31 PM
Hello, folks.

I have recruited nocooler to help with the board. He is now an administrator as wel. (Be nice to him  :icon_lol:)

I believe he already fixed the picture upload issue.

Other things he will be addressing:
1. Update Simple Machines forum version
2. Get Tapatalk fixed.

If there's any other issues you are aware of, please PM me or Jeremy.

Thanks!
Mark

Jeremy's a wizard and a good guy.

First question Jeremy. Why won't these smilies etc work for me? I can't be that stupid. Well...maybe I could.

Second question. What size do I have to resize the pics too?

Pictures should be working, if you have any issues let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
I’ve done quite a bit of research and I’d like to start testing offline soon. I won’t make any changes without Marks approval, and without giving you guys a heads up.

Brad the limit is 4mb per photo and 6mb per post. Typically straight off my phone I do a percentage size reduction 25%. It’s right below we’re you would have specified the size in pixels, it maintains the aspect and reduces the size greatly.

Are you trying to use smiles on your phone keyboard or the ones on the webpage?

Jeremy, I use pixels to resize my pixs. Use to be 680? I use my laptop. I have a flip phone...quit laughing...lol! I'm using whatever Windows gives me as the default browser for Win 10. Prolly some Microsoft browser. Smilies won't work...for whatever reason.

Brad, 800x600 is a good size to resize to

Also, for smilies to work, click on the "reply button" at the bottom of a post instead of the quick reply button at teh end of the thread

The board will never be perfect - I put it up on a whim when someone complained that there was too many Buick Message boards, I initially registered the domain in 2000, and we're still here. I think it's the best, most intimate Buick board out there, with amazing support, primarily because of you guys. I can't thank you enough.
It also helps that I have had free hosting for 10+years.  :cool;

I apologize for letting it slip, I have no real excuse other than my laziness. Thanks to all who stuck around - and we're not going anywhere.

No worries boss! Jeremy will keep it hummin' along!

I can't believe I've owned the domain for 18years - means I have had that Florida tag for that long too. #TimeFLies

It's not you Brad, it's the browser. Added to the list.

And I am looking into moving the board to a much faster server as well, will update as I can. :)

I have never noticed it being slow...but, I guess that is always relative

I tried the smilies on Chrome, duck duck go, and kiwi with no luck when using quick reply-to my knowledge, it has never worked.  I am not going to try whatever microsoft calls its browser these days

Same here,  never had an issue - but we are retiring the platform this board is hosted on. We will have a dedicated server soon.

Mark - get me some info on the dedicated box. I’d like to test on the same platform that we are moving to.

I started working on that Friday, should have on up and running this week. It's gonna be a bad ass server compared to the one it's on. All SSD storage, baby!
