So, this Sunday forum outage....

[crowie]

I just wanted to say I was able to do an "Insert Image" just now .. so extra "Well done"s to the admins.

... they're probably having a Bex and a lie down right about now ...

- - - - -

Re attachments ... for an unofficial answer ...

First you need to change to "Go Advanced" ...

I would go down the page to "Manage Attachments" ... but I see now that there is an Attachments icon right above the Message window.

OK - it is exactly the same thing. Cool. Save me scrolling down.

Bring up the Attachments 'Popup', and click on "Add Files" and then "Select Files" when the little window appears.

You can select multiple files in the same directory, unlike previously.
And if you want to add files from different directories, keep choosing "Select Files" until you are done.
Finally choose "Upload Files".

In that small window you can also switch back and forth from 'files from your Computer' to 'file from a web address (URL)'.

There is also the option of "Basic Uploader", but I'm not sure why you'd use it - and when you choose it you are then stuck on that option until you quit out and re-select "Manage Attachments" again.

If your file is already in your 'stash' on screen, then you can just drag it out again for the current message.

- - -
I mentioned before (above) about getting a particular order to the files you are attaching ... cos it doesn't work that way first off.

The first time I went through deleting ten files from the bottom box one at a time ... but I noticed today that when they've been uploaded and were all highlighted blue then deleting one file got rid of all of them.

If you then drag the files you want from 'the stash' to the lower box - in the order you want - they will stay that way.

Hope this helps,
Paul

Thank you Paul for your assistance, I'll pass on the info to a mate plus give it a go myself. Again THANK YOU. Cheers, crowie

My issue with the forum freezing when posting seems to have cleared up.

A very big thank you to Neil and his gnomes

The Mark Forums Read under Forum Actions only seems to work intermittently.

heya guys... have an issue with IE 9 ...
every time I'm pressing either one of the smilies icons or actuall post quick reply button .. page crashes..
recovery does save some of the text but not all...
suggestions?? it started happening since upgrade

[arose62]

On my brand new Samsung Galaxy, using FireFox, the forum appears in VBulletin blue livery, and I have to scroll down, down, down, down to get a login option. Then, it hangs on the "redirecting you"

So, hop onto laptop (Ubuntu & Firefox) to see if any progress has been made. The previous version of the forum used to remember me, but since the change, I always have to type usename and password, even though I click the "Save" option every single time. Anyway, blue scheme again, but changes when I log in.

[Big Shed]

On my Android Tablet (Aldi) I use the Android inbuilt browser and find it far superior to Firefox, even though I use FF on my PC and notebook.

Using FF on the tablet I found the same appearance problem with forum that you did, but having only just started using a tablet I don't what is normal.

I don't experience your login problem though in either browser.

[FenceFurniture]

.... even though I use FF on my PC and notebook.

[Bob38S]

Not sure if this is a problem or feature but I would like to know if it is me or the new system.

When viewing a thread down the main page [eg the Routing forum] - when I hit the back button the page goes back to the top [eg Announcements] - pauses for approx 2 seconds then repaginates back to where the Routing forum is visible.

Apart from this I like the new and my thanks and congrats to all who were involved.

Regards,
Bob

Hi guys, where has the reply button, that was next to reply with quote button gone? Checked 3 different browser, will it be coming back?

It's in the bottom left hand corner under the last reply, not on the right hand side with the two quotes buttons.

[chambezio]

Could I give a comment now that we have had the regime for a while?
I am not by any means an expert with this computer but I manage to get around it with only minimal help from my Guru daughter. I made a comment a while back expressing just how good the former system/layout was and how much easier it was to get around comparing it to 2 or 3 other forums I have looked at.
The new system does what the old one did and right from the word go it was easy to view or contribute both text and pics with no real problem. At the moment the (what was) ISpy has no header,its just a jumble of notebook lines strung together and then below it is the "ISpy" latest entries. They are harder to go through because it is only text with the heading for the thread in bold type. I have a couple of times glimpsed a proper layout with light and dark for the different threads, but only a glimpse as it went back to the text. At the moment we are on satellite for our broad band, It is IP Star and is as slow as dial up was when we first went onto the internet. (We are waiting for NBN and satellite service)
EDIT One thing that the new system doesn't do at the moment is update itself automatically. I have to refresh the page to read what the latest threads are. Will it become automatic as it was before?
Anyway, I can access the forum and that to me is the main point! OK I liked it better the way it was, but one has to jive with the times so I will get used to the system in time. As I keep saying the spirit that goes with the names that are written on the threads is such a wonderful thing. When somebody has a problem with what ever, good advice is always given to help the person out and that even goes as far as some Forumites actually going to physically help others who are in need. Is it an Ausy spirit? Or is it just a human trait that has manifested here? What ever it is, its great to be a part of this Forum, and thanks again to Niel and all those who are stake holders and advertisers that keep it going.
My life would not be the same with out the Forum :wave::wave::wave: :aussie5:

[Acco]

It's in the bottom left hand corner under the last reply, not on the right hand side with the two quotes buttons.

Yep, that one has always been there, that's the advanced reply, but there used to be a quick reply button which was with the quote and multi quote on the right which showed with every post.

[Chrism3]

Is there somewhere that all the features of the site are explained? Lots of things that people have complained about or are not visible were not known to me on the old site, so I don't know what I'm missing (or not!)
regards

[doug3030]

There is only one thing that is starting to really annoy me about the new format.

If I navigate away from the forum to another website for more than just a few minutes the forum logs me out and I have to resubmit username and password.

With the old format, I could stay logged in for days or weeks at a time and just click on the forum tab and carry on where I left off.

Is there a reason for this, or a setting i haven't found yet?

When you log on, you are ticking the 'Save' checkbox, I assume?
If so, I'm not experiencing this problem. I'm using XP SP3 / IE8.

Forget about navigating away, I get logged off every half hour with firefox.

Stop for a coffee or eat something and its log in again. Very annoying.

I work in IT and upgrading is done to add funtionality (I can't see any here) or to fix bugs (I never found any), but it needs to an easy upgrade for existing users (don't see that either). And worse of all I can't post a reply with my version of firefox.

Would be nice to find out from whoever wrote this version what the minimum requirements are and what browsers its coded for.

[Glennet]

If I look at a thread without logging in I don't see the initial post at all but instead only an ad'. Then I have to scroll way way down to see the first reply. Happens on both my netbook and Ipad.

When I log in it works as it should, but if first timers, and people not registered, have the same experience it must be very off putting for them.

[mic-d]

I haven't been reading all the posts in this thread so could someone throw up real quick whether hiding certain forums is yet possible?
And the other one I'm having trouble with is subscriptions. Under settings, if there is a subscribed thread with a new post in it, there is the option to unsubscribe, but if you go to view all subscriptions, there doesn't seem to be the option to modify in there.

Thanks

I use Firefox (15.0.1) on both my notebook and my Android Tablet, I NEVER get logged off. I'll also ask the question, do people tick the Remember Me box when logging in?

I can post replies on both of those platforms, I edit posts on both of those platforms, so I am at a loss to think what can be different about your experience.

As a Mod I also do heaps of things behind the scenes and the forum never falls over or logs me out doing any of these things.

[Scott]

I use Firefox on both my notebook and my Android Tablet, I NEVER get logged off. I'll also ask the question, do people tick the Remember Me box when logging in?

I was going to ask the same question. I use all sorts of browsers and don't get logged off. Also, check your privacy settings in your browser.

[doug3030]

Also, check your privacy settings in your browser.

I havent changed anything on my computer. browser privacy settings are the same. The ONLY thing that has changed is the Forum itself.

I usually notice that I have been logged out when I go to browse a different thread and the first post is compressed into a margin about five characters wide down the left hand side, and generally several screens long depending on the size of the post by an advertisement that I cant even see. It does not show up in my browser. This does however make the post impossible to read, and as someone else pointed out, if I was not already a member then chances are i would not join because you cant read anything.

Hey Doug you haven't mentioned if you're ticking the Save? box when you log on, not ticking this box can cause the logging out issue.

Can you post up a screen shot showing compressed post and advertising?

[Mulgabill]

I also asked this question some time ago and was told that at this stage no! Apparently this function relies on iSpy which is not available in this version. So when we go to new posts we will have to get used to getting all the forums and cherry pick the ones you are interested in.

The Quick Reply button is still mention in the FAQ's but it also appears to have disappeared.
Two forward steps, one backward step.:no:

[Groggy]

Doug, I have read back a little bit but have not seen what browser you are using or what hardware?

[Humphrey9999]

I'll also ask the question, do people tick the Remember Me box when logging in?

I just thought I'd point out, for those that can't find a 'Remember Me' checkbox when logging in, it's labelled 'Save'.

Just as an addition - I have since closed the "New Forum Posts" and "Tag Cloud" boxes - When I hit the back button now it goes back to the top of the page but the 2 boxes I had closed are open - pause for a couple of seconds and the page blinks and the boxes close, pause and the page repaginates back to where I was down the list.

Re the "problem" of being logged out - not had this one.

Me too!
And I've tried accessing the forum from my Android phone, FireFox and IE, under Windows XP, Windows7, and Ubuntu.
As a bonus, after typing my username and password each time, I then have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the blue VBulletin layout, and click "Full Site" to actually get to the new layout.
:(

:(

Last night my Android Tablet (Android 4.x) spat the dummy and I had to do a factory reset (and re-install all the apps I had downloaded.
When I had downloaded Firefox I opened Woodwork Forums and yes I got the blue vBulletin screen as well and had to scroll all the way down the page to Login, when I had logged in I then had to scroll all the way down again and select Full Site.
So yes I know what you are talking about and it is the most braindead way of getting on a forum I have ever seen, we must be losing a lot of potential members that are on their mobile devices.

Having said that, once I logged in (having clicked Remember Me) I now have no trouble getting on the Woodwork Forums every time I return and don't get the blue screen but the "proper" skin, and I don't have to login.

I can also get on the forum, and it remembers me on my Android "smart" phone, and Firefox on my notebook (WinXP) also remembers me. Having said that I almost never use the forum on my phone, I am no masochist.

So, I am at a loss to explain why it doesn't remember other people using Firefox on these devices.

I have no experience with IE, refuse to use it, no experience with Chrome as it wants to install the SweetIM cr*p.

[_fly_]

Its not a matter of the remember me check box. All this does is make windows remember your username and password and logs you in automatically.
I don't let windows remember ANY of my usernames and passwords.
If you ever get something nasty thay can collect the information and send it to russia or whereever. I always key usernames and passwords.
Now, currently it will write a cookie with information, but cookies have an expiry. On ebay its about a day. So if you continue to look at the page (browser open on the ebay page) you will need to log back in in 1 day.
This site seems to have a cookie expiry of half hour. So if your looking at the page and don't do anything for half hour (coffee, phone call, dinner) you have to log in again.
Use google and search for cookie expiry.
Get them to turn it off or set to 1 day.

I also get his on top of firefox page when not logged in "'); var sidebar_align = 'right'; var content_container_margin = parseInt('270px'); var sidebar_width = parseInt('250px'); "

I also hate IE but can;t post without it. My firefox won't do them.

[Scott]

Its not a matter of the remember me check box. All this does is make windows remember your username and password and logs you in automatically.

That's incorrect, your username and password are stored on the server (in a mysql database) which hosts the forum software. Your initial visit, when the check box is selected, is recorded in a cookie which is stored in your browser. When you visit the forums after closing down the browser, the forum software checks to see if you have a cookie stored and initiates a session for you to browse and automatically logs you on based upon the cookie stored in your browser. The only valid reason for you not to be automatically logged on is if you have your browser set not to accept cookies.

I've used, Firefox, Chrome and Safari on my Mac and Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE on Windows (via bootcamp) and my none of the logins have expired. The login length is actually one year! See the following attached image:

Well arrn't you lucky that it works for you....
But some of the rest of us are having trouble.

And I am not remembering my username and password in a cookie on my machine. A cookie for the session is ok, but it is expireing.
So now explain why so many people are getting logged out after 30 mins.

Anyway, time to kill IE and go back to reading only with firefox.

[Scott]

Well arrn't you lucky that it works for you....
But some of the rest of us are having trouble.

Yeah, I am lucky but it puzzles and pains me that you are having trouble :(

I would suggest clearing all browsing data in your browser and starting afresh. A long shot, but worth a try. Apart from that, based upon the information I can glean from the cookie data, there should be no reason as to why people are not being automatically logged on.

My cookies ALL get deleted when I close the browser and does history and cache.

I don't want to be auto logged on. I'll log in when I start the page.
but while I'm looking during the evening I don't want to do it every 30 minutes. I just checked all the cookies currently on my machine and they don't have expiry dates on them, So it must the the server code that is doing it. Is it trying to refresh the page and dropping something.? I just know it happenning to me.

And then with firefox i can't reply anyway, can only read the posts.

If your deleting your cookies when you close your browser, then you should click the Save? box and you cookie won't expire every half hour but will be deleted when you close the browser and clicking the Save? box won't auto log you on so just click the Save? box to stop you being logged out

[Humphrey9999]

I'm wondering if any IE users that are checking the 'Save' box and have their settings to 'Accept All Cookies' and not to clear them when the browser is closed are experiencing the logoff problem?
Some guys are being logged off immediately, some after 30 min, some not at all.

If it were in the site's general settings it would most likely happen to everyone using the same OS and browser. Since it isn't happening to everyone, doesn't this indicate that it's to do with individual member's settings?

I'm no expert, but that's how it looks to me. We have to start somewhere.

I have NEVER ticked the Remember Me box in the past, nor do I need to do so on other forums. But now I have this problem with ONE forum, and one forum only, regardless of what browser i am using. Like __FLY__ I do not want to let the machine log me in - I log in when I want to log in. Every workday I access the forum from one of several shared computers at work, and have done so for a long time.

I have tried different computers. and different browser on the different computers and the result is the same: under the old forum configuration, I was logged in until I chose to log out; under the new forum configuration I get logged out at the whim of the software.

ONLY one thing has changed, and its not on my end,

Doug

[ubeaut]

For those having problems staying logged in I have done some tinkering and maybe... MAYBE it has fixed the problem if not you may need to clear your cache. Below is info on how to do this:

Internet Explorer

1 Launch Internet Explorer.
2 Click the "Tools" menu and select "Internet Options."
3 Select the "General" tab and click "Delete" under Browsing History.
4 Check the boxes next to "Temporary Internet Files," "Cookies" and "History," and click the "Delete" button.
5 Click "OK."


Mozilla Firefox


Launch Mozilla Firefox.
Select the "Firefox" menu, choose "Options" and choose "Options" again from the menu that slides out.
Click the "Privacy" tab and choose "Settings."
Check all the boxes under the History section and click "OK."
Choose the "I Close Firefox" option in the Keep Until drop-down menu.
Click "OK" and Close Firefox.


No guarantee it will work but it is an option.

[eskimo]

It's just you. :)

only started to happen since the new format...i thought they were still having teething problems so didnt bother to ask till now

does not happen in edit mode...as I have just done with this reply...but when I try to make a new reply the blinking curser is there but it doesnt show in the box when I click or whilst typing

ahahah it happens when I clear firefox history and only on the first instance?:?

I will try IE and see if that is any better

[eskimo]

this place doent like me and IE....the screen shot below is when I was using IE...hit enter key wont take me to next line while while typing this..cant see curser...i ahve no idea where I am while typing unitl a letter or numeral pops up on the screen

[_fly_]

I didn't do any of the things that Neil suggested as my machnie deletes cache and cookies when I close the browser.

BUT I'm guessing they have fixed the log off problem. I've been on with firefox for 2 hrs now without having to log in over and over.

I even fired up IE to make this post.

Thanks.

[doug3030]

I'm not sure if all non-members are seeing the forum like this, but I certainly hope not. Browser is IE8.

Thats the same as how I see it in IE8 and in google chrome, when I am not logged in. the disturbing thing about that is that is how anyone visiting the forum who is not a member sees it for the first time, and It cant be doing a good job of encouraging people to join and participate.

As for seeing posts on pen-turning.

I have no objection to pen turning in itself. What I object to us the unnecessary violence, carnage and butchery associated with pen turning that flows over into the timber sales forum in the marketplace. I am continuously traumatised by photos of perfectly good burls, boards and slabs which would have made wonderful box tops, even box sides, bases for clocks or other things mercilessly cut into pieces so small you could only use them as pen blanks. It should be illegal to vandalize scarce resources in this way when there are plenty of perfectly good small offcuts that could be used for pen turning.

There should be a separate forum similar to "The Orange Room" which requires a password where this wanton vandalism can be confined and only viewed by the insensitive souls who partake in this insidious trade. :(( :(( :((

Having uploaded a few photo's since the upgrade I was wondering if the old size limits (file size and image size) still apply. File size is probably more a concern for Neil as the images have to be stored on his server I imagine.

Interesting, where did you find this information?

Interesting, where did you find this information?

John, in the new 'Manage Attachments' window, there's a 'Help' question mark at the top RHS of the page. I found the file type and size limit list there, after reading your post and wondering the same thing.

[Grumpy John]

Definite code violation, :banhim:, or make him an administrator. I hear there's a job going, great pay and benefits.

[Humphrey9999]

What was I thinking? Sorry :wink:

[ubeaut]

I'm not sure if all non-members are seeing the forum like this, but I certainly hope not. Browser is IE8.

That ad isn't supposed to be in the first post. :~
Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Fixed now.

Does anyone else have their router monitor the websites being visited.
I now seem to get lots of requests to googlesyndication.com when I'm only viewing these forums.
Now I know it could be a virus checker, skype or java or something but maybe someone else can monitor theirs to save time chasing it down.

No google toolbar installed, no google desktop or maps installed.

Or maybe the admins can let us know if the new version is doing it or not.

Time to start running netstat -b to see whats going where...

Don't know if this is causing it, but it might have something to do with Skimlinks, you can disable it via Settings then General Setting at the end of the page.

OK, Just thinking about __Fly__'s post:

If you have a dispute with your internet service provider, the company you PAY to provide your internet service over how much you downloaded in the month, and you ask them to tell you what sites you have visited and the volume that you downloaded from each site, they cannot tell you.

Under the laws governing provision of internet services, this information is not available to the holder of the service and their customer service consultants. I am sure that the police can access this information from your internet service provider. but you cant under law.

Yet Google and others can just slip a cookie onto your computer and record all the sites you visit and target advertising based on what they perceive to be your interests based on the sites you visit.

Is it just me, or is there something wrong with that?

Ta DJ,

Hey I also set my editor to simple text and I can reply in firefox again.
Won't be able to attach but at least I can reply now.

I've FLICKED OFF (thats f l i c k e d before someone complains) the skim and we'll see if that changes anything. I don't mind having it on but my router was hitting it 6 or 7 times for every single hit on the forums. I just wanted to know where it was coming from

Ta again DJ

My 2c. Depends on how paranoid you are. I think cookies are relatively innocuous and actually assist with browsing. Remember, you do have the choice to not accept cookies at all. In the U.K. you have to, by law, display some sort of warning that the website uses cookies. Regardless of cookies or not, your visit to a website is logged regardless. Your IP address, your location, your browser etc, etc ,etc are collected and collated using some sort of stats counter. Just ask the admin here what sort of information is collected :D

So, if you're ultra-paranoid about all this, head onto the TOR Project (https://www.torproject.org) (<- click) and put your mind to rest. Ultimately your information can only be compromised by what information you, yourself enter. Your online self is the same as your actual self, conduct yourself wisely.

[Groggy]

I think we all need to get back on topic or the issues that need fixing will be lost in other discussions.

[eskimo]

any ideas why my my curser problem occurs only on the fist try to lodge a reply/new post etc etc
clicking back and then going forward fixe's it

not even going to worry about why IE doesnt work with WWF

problem solved with curser...updated firefox and all seems ok...sofar

ie can wait I don't use it anyway

[Humphrey9999]

Is anyone else still having problems with the slide show viewer? Still not working for me.

[Scott]

Yup, happened to me last night but not from the main panel on the right. The freeze occurred when I clicked on the 'more' link and tried to insert a smiley from there.

Me too I can't reply to a thread without a freeze up. I'll wait and see if this works. (edit) Damm, that worked but is the first reply I have been able to post since early this morning without getting "woodwork forums is not responding"

[_fly_]

They don't work for me either. I now just right click and say open in new tab/window. Lets me see the pictures at least.

[RayG]

I have a minor issue with tapatalk, I can't see the Metalwork forum listed?

Otherwise, all good.

Regards
Ray

[Groggy]

Ray, I'll mention that to the Admins. It looks like because it is in the top menu it drops off the forum list.

That's correct, same with Musical Instruments and Wooden Boats.

Is this happening at a particular time of the day?

[iron bark]

First happened yeterday a.m. and I gave up trying around midday. This is my second attempt to reply to this thread this morning

[Grumpy John]

Just noticed that links are encroaching into the "thread information" line. Not sure if that's supposed to happen. IE8.
P.S. It doesn't happen all the time, I know this doesn't help you find the cause :no:.

Just a note to anyone having issues with how the forum looks on their computers, it's a big help to the techie people if you attach a screenshot. They can't see what your seeing, and a picture is worth a thousand words :D.

[steven]

Thanks, is it only happening when you post or browsing also?

Can you do me a favor and note the exact times. I'm going to enable logging of slow database queries.

BTW Submitting a post shouldn't take anymore than a second or so 99% of the time.

Hi, It only happens when I try to reply to a post, either with or without quote. Will let you know timings. edit, It worked this time first effort.

is everybody who is having problems updated their web browser?....it has fixed my little problem

Eskimo! Which browser and version are you talking about??

[eskimo]

Eskimo! Which browser and version are you talking about??

I use firefox and updated to latest version...fixed my problem

I have IE 6.0.2900.2180 and the screen looks like this

dont know if a update will fix that or not but I am reluctant to upgrade IE for the following reasons..i dont use it, and secondly they always change your settings when ever you update anything..or so it seemd

[eskimo]

and just to prove a point...i updated Internet Explorer...and i'm in:yippy:

but its stll slower than firefox

but why couldnt I place the curser after the smilie to add the above line?..i had to add the line and then move the smilie back

[Dengue]

Hello, is there any setting that will allow the images to be displayed on my pages as large thumbnails, rather than as a link ?

[Dengue]

All the images are shown in my browser as thumbnails, not links. I am using Firefox 15.0.1, the latest version

[A Duke]

There is no setting about whatever you wanna know...

Just have to love that as a first post.

[RETIRED]

Just have to love that as a first post.Gone in a puff of smoke.:roflmao:

[wheelinround]

Couldn't submit a link to an image from my/our blog, either by ticking the box or not to allow image to be stored and managed from this server. So had to revert to uploading one from computer.

[pmcgee]

Hello, is there any setting that will allow the images to be displayed on my pages as large thumbnails, rather than as a link ?

Yes - near the top of the page - FORUM ACTIONS -> GENERAL SETTINGS ->

Halfway down "Show Images"

[Dengue]

Thanks Paul, got it, and now the images are showing

[pmcgee]

I sent a PM and there was the option ... "restore auto-saved content"

I also accidentally did a blog post today, and the choices were "Post, ... something :) , save as a draft"

Just thought it was interesting that there is not a uniformity to the options across the aspects of the posting options ...

Any comment (admins)?
Thanks,
Paul

[whitewood]

If the basis of my post is correct this will not work. I have tried 3 times this morning to respond to a thread. Each time when I submit reply the message is that my computer cannot connect to the forum. When I click the arrow in the top left hand corner it goes back to the forum. The text of the message is gone but the title remains.

What am I doing wrong?

Whitewood

I did not use Ispell to check this post. Could that be the problem.

[johnredl]

Hi. Small tapatalk glitch. When reading the last 50 unread posts, &amp; u get to the bottom of the last 50 unread posts, u can normally pull the screen down to load the next 50 unread posts. When u do this since the update u don't get a total of 100 unread posts, but 50 unread and the same 50 again!

Does that make sense? The voices in my head say it does!
