Welcome to the new forum

[EalingBadger]

I usually get a digest of the most popular threads come through on a Saturday afternoon but not yesterday.

Do I need to do anything do re-enable this?

 

[GMES]

I've just found the bolt of lightening icon.

 

[phebas]

What's happened to the weekend digest, did not receive one this weekend?

 

[Starjack]

Agree please enlighten us Dan, I do love surprises.

SURPRISE, Pete you old Goat, hows it hanging, if it still does that is.

 

[Starjack]

That's the winning comment - but there is no "winner" emoji!

But the slimmed down likes etc is a huge improvement

What a bloody negative comment that is, I bet your fun in real life.

Holy cow batman, no sooner has @GMES returned but @Starjack has come with him. Has anyone seen them together in the same room?

 

[GMES]

Lol, sorry to disappoint mate but I was on line most of yesterday as was he.

 

[westward10]

@GMES was up for banning him and deleting his account. Quite an interesting debate in the staff room.

Is anyone else having trouble uploading pics. Keeps saying file size is too big whether my phone or tablet.

I've not used the 'Attach File' as yet but I did post a screen shot. Copy/Paste. Had no problems.

 

[westward10]

It's the attach filefile where it is happening.

 

[Spoon]

Ok. I'll try.

 

[Spoon]

Worked for me..

 

[westward10]

Worked for me..

Using attach file?

 

[Spoon]

Using attach file?

Yes mate.

 

[Spoon]

Then again the file is only 170 KB

No not yet

[westward10]

Every time is states the uploaded file is too large for the server to process.

So there are teething problems? always are with updates, sure it will get sorted eventually

What's a reaction score, is that new?

Does sound a bit like Buzz'es ..retro jets !

Patiently waiting to see if I like it !

 

[static zap]

I shall only ask for one thing.... a 'thanks' button

.... I'm imagining that we will have to "verbalize" our comments.
(no lazy arguments )--no negative vibes..man

Sorry if this has already been answered but the new forum is 'oversized' on my screen, is there a way of changing that?

Laptop running windows10

 

[Sintra]

[Sintra]

Is that through attach file.

Yes mate.

 

[westward10]

Seems @NDG Elecs having same trouble in a new thread he has just put up. I would put a link of it into here but I can't do that either.

My gravity flappy lid Eureka moment for happy labelling!!

It's only took since the start of AMD3 for me to realise the powers of a magnetic level in making labelling easier!! Can't post photo though! File too big. Have screenshotted it to make it smaller but no joy. Basically the level holds the lid open! Staff /Dan /Lou - what's the maximum image...

edit: links seem to work OK?

 

[Silly Sausage]

Obviously my end, how come emiticons whatever they are I'm posting aren't appearing? Nokia 5.1, I think it is.

 

[DPG]

Are you using the emoticons on your phone, or the ones on the forum?

 

[Silly Sausage]

Phone ones... Ahhh

Where's the dumb one gone?!

 

[Charlie_]

Don’t think the dumb one will return.
I found this though

 

[Silly Sausage]

Cheers dude, sorted!

 

[Silly Sausage]

Don’t think the dumb one will return.

You could use my avatar picture ...

Don’t think the dumb one will return.

Who knows? It might make a come back once more important issues have been ironed out.

An observation after some tests .......... using my laptop (w7 chrome) , ipad (safari) and iphone 5 (safari), at home and on 4G (vodafone) on my mobile

If I'm taking a quick look (not logged on) its all super quick

If I log in its all painfully slow......... sometimes seeing like a "pulsing" orange symbol in the top right hand corner of the screen

?

 

[DPG]

Much quicker for me. That's using an Android 8 phone and logged in to the forum.

I'll take a look into this for you.

 

[Dan]

Oh... please tell.
Is it a free bacon roll or pie if you post on a Friday morning?

Think we have sausage and bacon baps now. With red or brown sauce. Discussion thread on that is here; Red or Brown Sauce? - https://www.electriciansforums.net/threads/red-or-brown-sauce.174542/

I'm struggling to replicate any lag at all. I'm even sending out a mass email right now to 17,500+ email accounts, and even that's not lagging the forum.

Posting is fast, uploading large images is fast, and soon I'll enable posting videos too, which should also be fast.

We will be able to upload videos from our phones directly to a thread, and then they get stored on our servers, and cached by cloudflare to save on bandwidth.

 

[Bobster]

It does look like there are some spacing/resizing issues.

I seem to get these big blank spaces. Always at the new posts pages, an then intermittently through threads.

Not a big deal mind, is it something to do with you working on advertising space.
