mwilkinson Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 It's a very minor point but would it be possible to have the ability to adjust the avatar image so that the best part is visible in the avatar window? i.e. my avatar is now so clipped it just shows the bonnet of the car and not the front. Alternatively can the avatar window be made a square instead of a circle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 avatars will have to stay as is for now. I've spent the morning writing a script to fix the broken images. I've done a few tests and it seems to work. I'll be taking a db backup and then set it running. The site can remain online whilst it works. If it goes proper tits up i'll have to restore but fingers crossed it'll be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mawby Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 THIS IS BETA AND MIGHT NOT WORK PROPERLY, OR AT ALL, BUT... You can now access the site using a native app for iOS and Android. Hopefully a proper release will be available soon but if you're happy trying beta apps then give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we have here now, whether you like it or hate it, is what we're sticking with. That's got me reaching for my comfort blanket. One of the things I'm missing already is the date of joining has gone which differentiated from those who have recently joined to those who have been around a while to the founding grandfathers of nearly 20 years ago. Its going to be harder to cut newbies slack on dumb questions if you don't know they haven't been around when the question was asked for the first 20 times already.

It updated thousands of posts and correct hundreds of urls to point to the new site. Hopefully that will make things look better. I also had to take the site online for bit today whilst I patched a problem that was preventing some PayPal subscriptions from working. Fingers crossed that should behave itself now.

mawby Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 There are some issues with the search which I'm trying to resolve. This will mean search results will be limited for most of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 i seem to be having issues finding my 'sent items' in the pm area? is there a way to get to them? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 There's no separate sent and received. It's more like a social messaging app now instead of an email style system. So in your inbox will be all the conversions (PMs) you've had with people. You can use the search to find things in there. (which might not be fully functioning yet as I'm rebuilding search indexes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
