Cris B. 120 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I really love the new format of the forum. So many new things to explore and play with.But... I can't seem to get my avatar of photo to upload, can someone tell me how to do this for I must be doing something wrong.Anyway, the forum looks great! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From now on community (web2.0 stuff) is very high on our agenda. We like to get rid of the logins where people hide behind silly names and get to an environment where people respect each other more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cris B. 120 Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Mathijs,Thanks for the quick reply.I couldn't agree with you more. So in keeping with that spirit I'll pick one of the standard Avatars and call it good! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc W. 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Is there a way to have all threads marked "read" - the new forum forgot what I have read before ... well, I could quickly click on every thread again, but that would take a long time with all the threads in all the forums!Why? Because if only new threads are marked, on can see "from the outside" in which subforum new stuff is to be found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if only new threads are marked, on can see "from the outside" in which subforum new stuff is to be found Stupid me ... read first, then ask ... ... go to forum options (top right) and select ... or even quicker : double-click on the icon to the left of the name of the forum (in the main forum view) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James A 39 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 We could always have, "Newbie" and "Not so Newbie" Yep guy's, got to agree that the new look is Brill Two things that spring to mind which I tend to think a bit anoying at times is firstly I used to be able to come straight into the forums without having to log in every visit, am I missing something here? Secondly when you run the mouse over the smilies etc you can't tell which is which as it used to in the old forum.Other than those I'm a happy chappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinFlyer 8 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Slowly getting used to the forum new-style, it takes some time With the new options this forum now has, will it also be possible to directly embed videos from youtube and others? I know that is now possible at the simflight forum. You need the code . Doesn't seem this code works on this forum (yet?) And perhaps it would be nice to add a screenshot/video section to the forums?

VinFlyer 8 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Yes, that will work too But I was more thinking of directly playing the video in the forum topic itself. Linking it will work for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike... 2 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 What is the Quote button supposed to be doing? Because it doesn't appear to be doing a whole lot... Clicking on Reply will give me a quote, but then why the separate Quote button? Other than that, definitely an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, definitely an improvement.Say a thread is locked ... you cannot reply ... but when you hit "quote" and then start a new thread, the post you marked with "quote" will be quoted ... no need for ugly copy/paste/tag stuff ...
