Welcome To The New Board!

So we did this thing and it mostly converted fine. For the most part, the new board works just like the old one. The big difference is that this platform is actively being developed and secured, while vBulletin withers away.

If you didn’t see it in the News box on the homepage, your user info did transfer but you will need to reupload your sig image and avatar. Avatars can be 100x100 pixels now. Sig files can be 400 x 150 pixels. We'll go with these dimensions for now and see how they work out.

We’re also working on getting the old attached images to convert, which may take awhile. We ask for patientce on that, as it’s really tedious stuff.

That being said...we know you’re gonna find small issues here and there, and that is expected, so please let us know in this thread so we can identify and fix them (and perhaps help someone else with the same problem).

By the way...this entire post was originally made from my phone. So things are modern now. Yay us!  8)

But the arcade didn't make it... *sniff*...

Last but not least, a huge THANK YOU to everyone that donated to upgrade this board to keep it going for many more years. Couldn't have done it without you! Y'all are the best.

Looks like we might have a restriction to attach images inline? I made a dummy post under the computer section just to upload my old sig pic so I could link to it. It uploads, but it won't display inline with the img tags. I can display an inline pic that is hosted somewhere else, just not my own attachments.

I read this might be some post-count limitation on certain BB software packages.

Ok, tweaked some settings, please try again now.

I see now a little green icon next to the attachment. When I click it, it has options like "attach inline", etc. This would probably normally be what we need. But when I attach it that way, it adds "attach" tags around an attachment number, but when I do "preview" it's just an "X" where the pic should be.

So long story short, it still doesn't work ;)

Still no workie.

Here's a link to the post:

I posted the pic both ways, using the ATTACH tag and IMG tags, maybe you could tweak things and refresh the post and see if it works? Hopefully that will help.

I'm having severe issues through a mobile device.  Timeouts occur in blindingly short periods of time and I am unable to edit my profile or post from a mobile device. 

All appears well from my laptop.....

If you can see this that means I'm now able to post from a mobile device.

How in the hell do I attach a signature picture? There is no where for me to put it, unless I'm missing it and being an idiot......

You gotta host it from another location.  Type the image web address into the signature and put the IMG tags around that.

Alright, I figured out what was happening with the attachment images. They appeared in the hosting space via FTP, but they weren't displaying correctly here. It was a plugin conflict. As soon as it was disabled, the images started appearing. So apologies for that, we should be good to go with all attachments and sig files now.
