New TIBB forum Gripe thread
 

As we have migrated from one forum software to another, there will be a number of snagging issues or bugs. The purpose of this thread is to raise them so the Admins can seek a fix or a work around, or inform us, that's your lot.

This is not to be a slagging match between members:nono:

We raise these issues to get resolution.

I will put my first of possibly many in the next post.

BB Code issue

On the old forum, we could resize images in the [ IMG ] [ /IMG ] tags by having [ IMG=XxY ]

Where X and Y are the sizes you wish the image to be on screen. This avoids massive images causing excessive scrolling to the side. I looked at some of my old posts where I used this and of course the images are now broken. To get my signature image to show, I had to knock off the =80x80, and look at the size of it.

Is it possible to get the resizing of embedded images back on this board, and in such a way we do not have to edit old posts?

Speaking of which

The YouTube BB Code

The YouTube BBcode has gone from [ YOUTUBE ] [ /YOUTUBE ] tags to [ YT] [ /YT ] would it be possible to revert back to the old, or at least have it so the old tags still work, otherwise I see a lot of editing of old posts

One other issue that comes to mind

On creating this thread I discovered I had added an extraneous letter into the thread title. In the old forum, the OP could change the thread title, on VBulletin, it seems only a mod can do that, from the setting we have here.

Question, is it possible to restore that ability so that Mods don't have to be pestered if we fail to spot the typo before we hit post.

I may come up with others as I find them

I thought I fixed the title editing. Will check.

I changed youtube tags because they are done differently now ie. you only put in the video id rather than the whole youtube link between the yt tags.

Will try and find a way to get the old tags to work.

Will that include the [ IMG ] Tags and resizing images?

I dunno if this is the right place but I discovered you can edit your own topic titles by just double clicking on them. I was like 'wow!'

Thanks for that fix, to be more precise in the list of topics, you double click on the tick icon on the right of the thread you are the starter of.

This forum requires that you wait 60 seconds between searches. Please try again in 60 seconds.

:( I'm sure I ll get over it though

I can't seem to edit a title :\

So now I have an open graphic shop saying closed xD

If you can't suss it, can you just whizz ' - CLOSED ' from the title pweese?

Thanks Xx

I was about to comment on that as well. I DON'T HAVE THE TIME OR PATIENCE!

You have included 11 images in your message. You are limited to using 10 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.

Images include use of smilies, the BB code [img] tag and HTML <img> tags. The use of these is all subject to them being enabled by the administrator.

Highly annoying xD (graphics thread incase you're wondering)
Will also be hard for graphic competitions and stuff, can we change this? :3

For an experiment I edited the first post in my most recent Mystical Realms story in the creative writing section, to amend the Youtube tags to the new version.

Although the video is now available, it is left justified, even though it is in the middle of the align=center tags. Other parts of the text and images are centred as directed, it is just that the embedded youtube clip is not controlled by the align=center tags

This '60 seconds' thing is driving me crazy.

Not so much of a gripe as an enquiry, How do you get youtube videos to work? because I tried the tags and the box shows up but no video?

dean, you have to go to advanced, and if you dont wana do that then use [YT] and only put the video code in (cut out the url)

I clicked the Topic from the Side Bar
and it went to the first post.

That sucks.

Ah okie doke, thanks chick.

The 60 second thing needs to be turned off

I've never even used the search feature - why do you? :\

its not the search feature, it effects the ''new posts'' as well
which i always use

and "Today's Posts"

new posts = todays posts :P

Nope, New Posts is...well New posts

Today's posts is all the posts made today xD

D: D: D:
I know what's missing! (other than my karma -.-)
AWARDS! How come Chewy has his and I don't? *sulks*

Looking at who's online and it shows there are 8 members online, but Nathan and Shaun had a plus sign + next to their name.. Why?
