Re: New Look Forum('shopsmith' format)

JPG wrote:I really like the 'shopsmith' format. Admin has indeed been busy!!!! I believe he has addressed all the more significant visual issues etc.

That said, I am suspicious he has deleted some of the post that had large pix. Merely an observation, which prompts a question. What is the upper limit re pix size other than a 2 mb size?
I haven't deleted any posts, in fact used some of the ones with the larger images as my test cases (to make sure they displayed scaled to fit). The limit is 1920x1080 and 2mb. Clicking on the image (as long as javascript is enabled :) ) will display the image full screen (even without javascript, right clicking in most browsers will allow the image to be seen in a new window/tab). The resolution issue seems to be solved. I'm still concerned that 2mb images will display slowly on mobile devices.

I haven't yet found a reasonable answer to images not being displayed inline in older posts. Closest so far was testing an [attach] bbcode, but that still required bringing the post up for edit to activate it for each post (and then displayed the image a 2nd time at the end), so I abandoned that approach. Looks like I need to chase down how the code that is stored in the database for an inline attachment is created, so that I can run a php program based on it against all the old posts.

Admin, are there other forum formats like prosilver that are maintenance free for you that you can provide as user preferences? If it's a simple matter to make these available please do so. If it's a lot of trouble, no need to bother, I like prosilver well enough. Thanks!

Arrrgh! Tonight none of any forum attachments were viewable - all had the infamous "?" instead. I am on a Mac with Safari - has that be come a problem?

Do not worry, it appears to be a widespread problem. Admin is tweaking(I hope).

Wow, logged in for the first time. I agree that moving it to the shopsmith domain is a smart move.

I use Firefox and am viewing the forum using the "Shopsmith" style. When I click on the individual forums, e.g. community, the look is not optimal. As seen in the screen shot, everything is pushed right and the first post summary is overwriting itself. Anybody else seeing this?
