Now we have most major features back, which missing element should I work on next?

If I've forgotten one let me know and I'll add it to the poll.

Thanks

Dan

As much as I'd love more smilies, I miss seeing the gallery, use to love seeing the random pictures  :)
Gallery gets my vote, followed a close second by smiles.

Yes I liked the gallery very much ;D
It made me  feel that someone was sharing their s achievements if you know what I mean :D

This is probably just me, but I can't see how to add photos to a message any more. ???

I only know how to do the direct one (not photobucket) which I think Gavinjconway posted about.

Click on attachments and other options, and below attach: you should see a little grey box with Choose File, once you click on that you should be able to pick the photo you want to add in to your post.

Thanks Gavin and Jay .............when I click on the icon below the 'B', this comes up -(//)

In Attachments and other options I can choose the file I want, but how do I get it in to the body of the post?

Before, there was the option to 'insert attachment'  now I can only see 'Clear Attachment'

It's probably really obvious and I'm having too many Senior Moments.  ::)

Hi JayB - I tried the direct way but there is nothing about "attach" or grey box etc. as you say..   see my screen pic I attached the long way round!! Now I'm confused...

The method I mentioned is if you have paid a £10 sub to Dan to be able to direct post, well worth it in my opinion and helps with the upkeep of the forum  :)

Aaaah now I see why I have a different page info to you.... Will sort out a payment - sounds much easier..

May be stupid, but do like to see if anyone has replied to my posts.  Used to be a reply button.  Also love the chat room, know it hasn't been used much, but in the winter lovely to have a good chat.  And the pets column as my poor old cat is not too good tonight.  Will have to have another look at the new site, congratulations to you.

Think I have found it now, thanks.  Just hope I don't get banned for going off topic, which I do quite frequently.  ;D ;D

How do you pay £10 to Dan please?  And is it a one-off or an annual contribution?

Hi,

You can paypal, or send a postal order / cheque - paypal is preferred!

It is annual not bad value at less than £1 a month (but I would say that).

In your profile you will find a link to subscriptions, and you can set it up from there - if you want to subscribe and have a problem let me know and I'll help out.

Thanks

Do you send e-mail photo's all? it is the same as when you send a photo by e-mail, you have to reduce the size or it comes out HUGE when the person recieves it and takes ages to download!

Post by: gavinjconway on September 12, 2012, 11:46:34
Pumpkinlover - you've given me an idea now... email the pic to yourself and the pc will ask if you want the pics reduced for emailing... then the reduction is done for you... simples maybe!!
