Was feeling a bit bored so decided to upgrade the forum software.

Two new features:


  • Now a Member Map 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
    • 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?
There are only solutions

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kwikasfuki

Mmmm. There is the first problem :)

Can you try clearing your IE cache?
