Haha me too Leccy.
That text reflects whatever you set as your default stream. If a member hadn't changed it, until today it said Unread Posts and that's what it showed.
-
It has if you customised the existing or made your own stream and saved it as default. But for those who didn't and for anyone not logged in, it is now there as shown.

I guess it's also worth pointing out for some that on the mobile version, this is now the Latest Posts button (unless you've made your own customised version)

I think if you've already set a default stream that isn't Unread posts that will have already changed, but yes I think that should certainly (on average) be more popular. Nice job!
You're right Matty, if you've already set a default - then that will remain. But Latest Posts now shows for those that haven't, for anyone not logged in and for none members just browsing the site.

I've managed to turn the Unread Content button, top right, into a Latest Posts one that's as close as possible to the one on the old forum.
Even none members and members not logged in will see it like that now.
Let us know if this is an improvement, it can always be changed back.

The result is that the new tab opens with the error message not the image.

Hmm. Is the offending photo, the graph that posted OK above?
-
Dickw could you try something and report back? The pic that you're having trouble with, but can see the thumbnail in albums. Try a right click on the thumbnail and then open in new tab.

OK Understood, I'll ask what options are available.

Ace, have a look at the sandbox Gary has done some very interesting picture size tests posting the same photo in many different sizes.
Oh, PS - The double spacing thing always annoyed me on the old forum too.

I actually posted yesterday that I thought the search facility was really good. I had tried a few simple searches and all seemed good. I tried searching for a specific string I knew existed in an old post of mine. I typed in “Longest scarf” and it duly returned the correct post. I should have tested further , it was not finding the exact phrase, it just so happened that was the only post where longest and scarf occurred in the same post. I can not now work out if there exists some syntax that allows an exact phrase to be matched. It looks like quoting should do the job but it doesn’t.
Hopefully this can be elaborated on in due course.
Tim
There's a choice in the dropdowns to choose between "all" of my search term words or "any" of my search term words. Of course "all" still doesn't need to find them in the correct order or even together. So, try putting your search phrase within inverted commas. e.g. "longest scarf"

Martin, as has been explained before, the old forum software had become unsupportable, no changes could be made and as time passed there was more and more chance of there being security issues.
We're now in the very fortunate position of having the vast majority of historical data preserved and a modern, maintainable forum. The alternative would probably have been a clean slate with no posts, pictures or registered members saved.As for the search box, it's vastly superior, especially if you use the drop down to adjust search parameters as you wish.
-
Adding text between pics, when you've uploaded them they sit at the bottom of the page but there's a + (plus) button for each one. Hit that to place it in your typed thread. I guess it goes where you left the cursor.

I'm sure the Invision Community labels are simple to change. Thanks for pointing both out.
I guess we've been 1) Getting things working then 2) Tweaking appearance and features. Now, there's probably a load more subtle stuff to go through as it becomes noticed. -

Also search for "NGH GT9 Pro" gives no results because all words a 3 characters.
Interesting
Well I think so?
Wildcards appear to raise the letter count in searches. Careful what you wish for though, this search took quite a few seconds
So - Try searching for NGH* Quite a few results come up.

I believe that Google is giving us results from when it scoured the internet before our forum change. So the links it's coming up with are pointing at the old site, which isn't there.
If a historical link does bring up a page, it must be a (Google probably) cached copy.
These will diminish over a short period, I'd hope.
-
Is this actually a problem, Cymaz? I can ask the question but would probably put a low priority on them looking at it, unless it's causing an issue.
-
Interesting one. I'll pop it on the list.
PS - Looks like the Google search is coming back with the link format from the old site. Nothing we can do about that but these results should fade in Google given time.
The forum Search should find it though.

I understand the space issue but as you say, jack plugs do short out as you push them in and pull them out. Not a good idea at all with a high current battery.
How about a small hatch disguised as a scale detail?

robk there will certainly be posts missing if they were made after last Thursday's cutoff. There were many warnings posted, over and over.
Do you think the missing ones you are referring to are from before that?
