Was feeling a bit bored so decided to upgrade the forum software.
Two new features:
- Now a Member Map (http://www.gtr1400.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=googlemap) where we can see at a glance where all members reside. There's a link from the page where you can add your own details.
- Click to edit your profile (http://www.gtr1400.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=profile;area=forumprofile)
- On the map search for where you live. Then click on the map to place a marker. Note this is different from the default marker you will see with the letter 'A' inside
- Click save profile
YouTube videos are now auto embedded. Means the video is displayed on the page, rather than than as a link
- Also on the profile, you can now enter your bike details (model, colour and year). It will display on your posts - take a look below my avatar on this post
Please let me know if you find any bugs/issues.
Some nice touches with the upgrade :)
Any chance of being able to change the forum colour?
I'm having issues with line length when typing messages in the forum or on PM. It may wrap when I post but as I'm typing the text is disappearing of the right of the screen on line 1 and I can't see what I'm typing. This is using Firefox 5.
Please see the attachment.

Try setting the WYSIWYG option from this link (http://www.gtr1400.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=profile;area=theme;u=1)
That link takes me to your profile but I found the WYSIWG setting and have set it. I'm now typing garbage (no comments required thank you!) to see what happens when I get to the end of the line...and it works properly!
Thanks.
Kevin

Sorry, should've edited the link first. Glad its sorted though
Whos a clever boy then...very smart . Nice job....
How board were you then... :D
NB, a very nice touch. I thought I'd logged on to the wrong site when I came on line. As Kevin mentioned though, I am having to hit the return key when I get to the end of a line, is that normal? I have put a tick in the WYSIWYG box.
cracking forum upgrade Mr Bates. Bravo Zulu :D

Did you press save changes afterwards?

Yeah, I clicked on change profile, is that the button you meant. It then tells you that your profile has been changed. I dont understand these matters.
And you've definitely got wysiwyg set? What browser are you using?
I'm using IE8 as far as I know, I just press a button on the laptop and it fires up, that's as technical as I get with computers I'm afraid.
Mmmm. There is the first problem :)
Can you try clearing your IE cache?
Good Effort Sir Norman.......looks lurverly, many thanks for your hard work ;D

NB, I'm not sure if that resolved the issue are whether you have been doing some further tinkering behind the scenes but all is well now, many thanks. I notice that the Smiley's have changed slightly in appearance too unless its just that I'm knackered and I cant focus too well at the moment.
Yes, the smileys have changed.

Nice work NB, well done.
