Cheers Ron, my mistake ?

I'll back Martin by also suggesting that the sort of facility requested is very unlikely to be available in a forum package like this. I don't know that, but I'd be very surprised. If that's the case, then the question is moot anyway.
While we're taking on board all suggestions, in practice we're dealing with an established software package that has some degree of tweaking available by switching features on and off. We don't actually know what those are, in detail, either.
What we don't have is a team of coders sat in a dark office ready to make things exactly how we'd like it.
I've said elsewhere that I'm absolutely amazed that so much of the old forum was able to be saved.
Keep the suggestions coming though.

Do you have a spec sheet for the BMS?
I bought one for electric bike use, unused as yet. The spec sheet says it charges individual cells to 4.2V. that's spot on for Lipos.
It also limits the charge current, I forget the figure. It limits the discharge current too, to 20A in my case. So both of these need to suit the battery and the use case.

Storage space costs money Ron. If you have a bigger video there's plenty of space on YouTube.

Another vote to ditch the 'top posters' box or make it a de-selectable option
I think we're all agreed between mods too. This has to go. It'll be on the list on Monday.

Cymaz it looks like the feature to select photos for moving or deleting is missing just now. It's on the list with the techies and we'll be pushing it again on Monday.

Also, accessing the digital mags from a mobile is nigh on impossible so try

Just to clarify, when you're in the forum, clicking the RCM&E logo takes you to the home page of the forum.
To go to the RCM&E mag homepage you need to click the link "RCM&E Home".
In the desktop version, this is under the logo. I'm mobiles it's I. A drop-down from the 3 bars icon.

You don't even need to get the share link. Just copying the URL from the browser and paste that in, works.

Noted Simon, thanks.

Oh that's not a good sign. GG. Which browser are you using?

The preferred method to post videos here is from YouTube or other video hosting service. Simply to copy the Link to the video and paste it here in the posting box.
That's what I've done here
However if you just have the video file on your device then one can be directly uploaded to a post, just like a photo.
Except, the only file format that I've found works in all browsers is .mp4 files.If you need to convert anything else such as a .mov file from an apple device, one method is to use an online converter such as https://cloudconvert.com/ where you upload your file, let it do the conversion and then download the new one.
That's what I did for another member to produce this one, which I've just dragged and dropped into this post here:-

Spellcheck didn't work in Firefox when I just downloaded it, but it does now.

There is something else needed to be done in Firefox - this isn't a problem relating to this forum upgrade. I use it on all sorts of forums but never see the spellchecker although the option is - and always has been - ticked. If anyone knows what I've missed I'd love to be educated!
Martin it's likely that you need to add a dictionary.
Try here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/language-tools/
Use the British English Dictionary (Marco Pinto)
After installing that you'll proably need to check the checkbox for spellchecking again. -
leccyflier that limit appears to be a default, like most of our existing settings. We've asked for it to be increased or removed.

Then it (in theory) just needs switching on in your internet browser settings.
But that would mean customising your browser, Nigel ?

Just wondering, does that method only show photos you've added to this platform?
I went via your profile, then the See my activity button. Then chose Images from the column that appears on the left.

Once in Account Settings, there's a box on the right called Other Settings. In that box you'll see Notification Settings.
Have a play in there. You should be able to get email notifications for "followed" topics. You'll also have to "Follow" the topics (Threads) that you want notifications about.

Sorry if this has already been raised and answered previously, but there are inevitably a lot of new postings over the past few days.
I have followed the posts showing me how to access my photos, and understand that they are no longer organised into albums, but a huge number of my photos are missing.
When I click on the "load more activity" link it says there are no more to load, so dozens of my album snaps seem to have disappeared into the ether!
I would also like to delete some of my older snaps which are shown, but cannot see how to do this.
Do you know how many you had? I'm seeing 9 pages of yours and it looks like 25 pictures to a page so that's something over 200?

RW, just check that you haven't inadvertently left the default setting of the stream at "Last 365 days". That one has caught me out a few times.

GG tap on your name/avatar anywhere you can see it.
Then there's a tiny little content button just below your header photo, like this

Hi Erf, good to see you made it in here.
There are a few new forum userguides here:- https://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/index.php?/forum/31-forum-user-guides/

Understood, Dickw and that reason/usecase does make sense.
Unfortunately we're going to have to live with what we ended up with.
However, you can now make new albums and put new photos in them, that facility isn't missing.The old forum frontend and database was completely bespoke and was designed by a single person who I believe has been out of contact for some time. There was no documentation either, so I understand.
So the fact that we have the vast majority of everything ever posted there, is, in my opinion, absolutely remarkable.
The alternatives to where we've ended up don't bear thinking about and I'm not sure how long the old one could have been kept going either. -

That's a question that already gone to the IT guys. There should be a tick box by each of your own pics to select which you wish to delete or move. But there isn't.
