Forum Upgrade

[Wolfpack Speed]

The forum has been upgraded, obviously! Users can pick different forum skins at the bottom left of every page, we are still working on the "New SCS" theme. Please post any issues here, as soon as I can get out of work and go through the site to check on things I will, thanks in advance for everyone's patients!

Looks good, I like the colors. What happened to the smileys?

[Steve-0]

Yea I like it. It's kinda strange on my phone though. I don't like using tapatalk or the mobile version. Ill get used to it I'm sure.

[Stroked03Cobra]

I love it! Great work Mike!

[Viper_ed]

Not digging it at all! Everything seems way chopped up and misaligned on my IPad at least. Haven't viewed it from a PC yet. Only plus I see so far is that it looks like the banner finally got a horse in the logo and you returned the My Little Pony to the petting zoo.

[mr4teth]

No worky with tapatalk?

I do think it's kind of weird that when you click on reply to thread, it doesn't go to a new page. I guess only if you click on "go advanced" it goes to a new page.

[Wolfpack Speed]

Again, the upgrade is work in progress. It's going to take some time to get the bugs worked out but everything will be addressed and fixed. As far as the new version of vB software, people are just going to have to get used to it. The old vB3 site was outdated and is not supported anymore, a change was a must and better to get it done and over with sooner rather than later!

[PaceFever79]

I'll be positive..... I like the album previews on the Forums page... I never look at member pics because they were a pain to look up... now every time I visit the site, I get a sample of the latest pics!

[pop's stang]

What I liked about the old site was you could see how many members had logged on that day. If you want to turn that setting on, you will need to go to: AdminCP>Settings>Options>Forum Home:Visiting Members. Then just click yes under "Enable Display"

[street591]

I'm getting used to it...the more I am, the more I like it.


Thanks again for putting the time and the money into the site Mike..I check it everyday! :highfive:

[speedracer]

I hate the "new posts" botton size and location

[Viper_ed]

I noticed the same thing and don't like that at all, working on it!

Figured that was driving your OCD ass crazy as well!

The whole thing is driving me crazy but it is what it is! Needed to be done, things will be fixed and working properly, wont have to go through this again for years...hopefully!

[PaceFever79]

Thanks for buying and improving the forum.... I like the new vibe.

Tapatalk is back up and running!

[SonofaBish]

I'm not particularly in love with it, but then again, i don't really care much what it looks like...

The only suggestion i would have, in comparison to the old setup, is having the "Quick links" and "new posts" buttons availble on the main screen. I have to click on "forums" first before i can access these buttons... Its certainly not the end of the world if that can't be done, but its just a nice-to-have.

[SlowSix]

If you click the reply button twice it takes you to the advanced screen/new page. Personally I like the quick reply boxes.

I have noticed that image tags don't work anymore. Say you have a link to a jpg, you can have the image show up by pasting the link and placing url here
tags like that.
Now it doesn't work, and having to download an image to my pc and then upload it as an attachment is a pain. Most of my pics are from my phone and I just upload them straight to photobucket rather than my pc.

I added the "What's New?" tab for the activity stream, this gets you to the most recent activity the quickest. Your thoughts?

works good. I like it.

[Wolfpack Speed]

We are still working on the Garage issues but it's up and running. Those who have huge files will need to resize them in paint to 1024 X 768 if they wont upload and display.

[Wolfpack Speed]

I do think it's kind of weird that when you click on reply to thread, it doesn't go to a new page. I guess only if you click on "go advanced" it goes to a new page.Yes, or you can double click on reply to go right to the advanced reply...

[95V6]

Everything is so messed up on my phone. I cleared my cookies and catche. Now I can't stay logged in on any forum even after hitting "remember me". Getting a pop up on MM to use their app I can't get to go away.

[Wolfpack Speed]

:highfive::goodidea::yes::bouncy::pepper:are back!

[Steve-0]

Yes, or you can double click on reply to go right to the advanced reply...

Yep, works pretty well. Starting to like it now that you are working some bugs out and I'm getting used to it. :highfive:

[03 OW SVT]

:highfive::goodidea::yes::bouncy::pepper:are back!

Sweet! Now if I could just post without having to log in all the time.

[Wolfpack Speed]

Sweet! Now if I could just post without having to log in all the time.Check your browser, I have tested with Chrome, IE & FF with no issues. Anyone else having log in trouble?

[pop's stang]

No log-on problems here. Running Chrome. :thmbsup:

[95V6]

I can't stay logged in. I'm on a iPhone 4s

[Wolfpack Speed]

Are you using tapatalk?

[Steve-0]

iPhone 4 here. No problems staying logged in with tapatalk, or the browser. It works fine on my laptop too.

[95V6]

No just browser, I only use tapstalk to post pictures.

[cwh19]

No log in issues here on IE or Android OS. Its remembered my log in ever since the upgrade happened.

[Viper_ed]

Finally pulled the site up on my home PC. Running a 1920 x 1080 resolution with 2 monitors and it looks terrible. Is there any setting within the new software to let me match it to my screen resolution?

Can you take a screen shot? What do you mean by 2 monitors???

[mr4teth]

Site looks real nice on my MAC using Firefox!

[Viper_ed]

2 monitors as in two separate display screens for one computer. I did figure out that there was a "new skin" which fills the screen out completely. With the setting on the old SCS skin, the display area only filled half of the screen.

[95V6]

I still have to re log in after almost every post.

I still have to re log in after almost every post.From what you said in your previous post your having the same issues with other forums so I can only assume the problem is on your end...

[burntire]

Clear your cookies and temp internet files and try again. Are you checking the remember me box when logging in?

[Wolfpack Speed]

Test post...

[Wolfpack Speed]

Not digging it at all! Everything seems way chopped up and misaligned on my IPad at least.Fixed!

[95V6]

I turned cookies on at it fixed it. I don't use my home computer anymore, just iPhone.

Large photo test upload...

[Wolfpack Speed]

I think we finally have fixed the issue of not being able to upload large photos, see test photo above. This was one of the last remaining issues that really drove me nuts and has been an issue for years. Are there any other major issues or bugs that need to be brought to my attention? At this point I think we have worked out all the major issues from the upgrade, I will continue to plug away with little things that may need addressed as time goes on. Again, there is a New SCS skin that the forum can be viewed with for those who wanted fresh colors!

[Stangman701]

Mike do you know if there's any way to automatically resize large pictures like that? It's hard for me to see more than like 10% of that picture at a time.

[Stangman701]

Everything looks ok on my phone, but on my windows 7 work computer the pics are huge! I'm using firefox. Here's a sample...

[Wolfpack Speed]

I see what you mean! Photos look fine on all my devices, they don't look like your screen shot at all. I will look into it...

[PaceFever79]

Wow, just checking in from a road trip, love the new color scheme! :thmbsup:

[cLockWise]

Maybe try another browser. I don't use Firefox all the time, I typically am on Google Chrome when I come onto the forums. Did you try Internet Explorer to see if it does the same? Could be an issue with Firefox's display setup (some browsers are goofy like that).

[Wolfpack Speed]

X2...

[speedracer]

Dear mike,

The profanity filter is not engaged... That is all. Carry on!

[phillysrt4]

Haven't been on in a few months and noticed now there is a subforum missing from the racing section. If its not going to come back for active posting any chance of bringing it back as an "archive"? It would be nice to take a stroll down memory lane.

It would be nice to take a stroll down memory lane.We renamed the sub forums and moved threads last year. A search, probably in the bar, should help you find your threads!

[phillysrt4]

DOH! When i saw it gone i figured it was gone period. thanks

I'm still having this issue.

[Wolfpack Speed]

I have tried 3 different browsers using XP, 7, iPhone & iPad...no issues. Those of you who are still having issues with pictures not resizing properly on your computer, to the best of my knowledge the problem is on your end. Try updating your software and or using a different browser.
