I've just upgraded the forum software to a new version which should be better in many ways. It has gone surprisingly smoothly so far but please be patient as there will be issues and new things to get used to
The old method of placing attachments in-line does not work so expect to see [attachimg=n] turn up in many old posts.
There is a new and better way of doing this and the usability on phones is vastly improved.
There are still things needing set-up and fine tuning and new member registration is currently disabled until the final set-up is done.
In the meantime just use the forum as normal and post here with any issues you encounter. If you want to help then the best thing you can do is post and participate.
Appears we have no smileys :(

Any more than three smileys will be deleted :)
That was a hell of job to fix. Trying to work out what was actually wrong, there are a lot of possible causes. Upgrades can cause legacy issues, fresh installs are far easier. Turned out to be a database issue. ::)
Nice work gents.
Quote from: IanR on April 30, 2023, 07:42:59 PMNice work gents.
still a bit to do, sort out registration and anti-spam issues will be the next thing.
Basically it's very similar to the old software but better for mobile devices, adding images etc
Its looking good lads
Nice work Fred. I have just submitted a report, might have posted it in the wrong section - feel free to move it if I have.
Will do. Thanks for posting it David :)
Great work Fred,looking good. Like you say, it's slick to use on a smartphone.
It's much better Ian, should have been done ages ago.
What's a smart phone.............................. 8)
Fred I just posted a thread on the joke page in the wrong place and it seems I cannot delete it, is this a problem, I can modify it, but not remove it.

It's gone :)
Thanks Sandy, will I have to be more careful in future or will we be able to delete our own stuff?
You can edit it I know that. If you just delete everything in the message and resave then let us know we can then delete the empty post.
Ok
Sandy has it covered!
I even gave the auld bugger a like ;D ;D

I did notice that :)
Are we accepting new members? I know someone who is keen to join...
Yes, registrations are enabled. Let me know his name and he can have full access when he registers. The restrictions on who sees what are only there if we don't know the person. Born out of blood sweat, tears and some very unpleasant chancers ;)

His name is Michael, I fished with him yesterday. Mad keen!
Just tell him to register and I'll sort it out.
