New Look Forum

Tob · June 08, 2025, 03:37:29 AM

Hi all,

Your eyes do not deceive you - the forum has changed appearance. The previous hosting company stopped their services, so we had to migrate to a new host. Many thanks to Jason for doing the legwork in getting this done.

I don't think there will be any big changes in functionality, but if you spot anything weird or have any questions, feel free to post on this thread or PM me.

Thanks

One obvious thing, you'll need to re-upload your avatar pictures unfortunately

Go to your name in the top left, click the drop down arrow, then select 'Profile Details'. You can then upload an avatar picture of your choice (PM me if you're struggling).

Hi Tob,

Can you please help me? I'm not sure with the new format how to upload an image into a post from my iPhone?

My best, Okie

Hi Okie,

Thanks for spotting that - I have added a new mode to hopefully allow you to do this now. Steps below...

1) Under the message text box, you can see the '- Add image to post' text:

2) After clicking that, a pop up window will appear where you can drag and drop (or paste) your image into the pop up, then select the green 'Upload' button

3) From the 'Embed codes', you can select 'BBCode full linked', then you can copy and paste the provided URL in the bottom text box into your post:

Please let me know if that works or if you need any help with the steps. Good luck!

Something weird is going on with Avatars (mine has disappeared and I get an error when trying to re-add it). I'll check in with the technical experts to see if they can figure out what's going on...

I've blanked it out...just took a moment to have a proper look at it and yeah, it's not the best! I like the posters on it! But not such a fan of the font

Any budding designers out there who want to try making a new one? Maybe I'll have a go when I get a moment...
