What is the significance of the Resources and Special Interest forums being locked?

~~In Chrome I'm not getting the spell checker comming up as I type either in the quick or regular reply windows.
Normally any misspelled word gets underlined as I type and a right click will provide sugestionsJust tried it in Firefox and its working as expected......odd~~
Edit:
Opps its a error in the latest build of the Chrome Beta, not the forum.Additionally there seems to be a frame around a lot of the smaller graphics:
-
Ignore my 'Spelling not working' message, it was Chrome not the forum.

Locked isn't really the correct term for the Special Interest. You need to add these in your UCP. They don't get added as part of registration.
The resources top level forum is locked as we allow posting within it's subforums to keep things organised.
Nothing sinister here it has always been like this. Just the new icons highlight that there is some restriction in these.
Nothing has changed to the forums in the upgrade. Everyplace remains as is.
-
Adding yourself in the UCP is only for the foreign languages forums.
Now here the "locked" sign only means that there are no general discussion topics at the top level but only under the subforums.
There are forums with subforums where there are also discussions at the top level (SU, LO, Gallery, Extensions, Corner Bar etc.) They are also "open" at top level. And indeed, this is something we used to have on the old forums, too - only the new icons are a bit more amphysising these things.
-
Maybe the icon for solved should be a trophy or blue ribbon. (Using a check is confusing.)

I noticed that access wasn't restricted or anything like that, and didn't suspect anything shady was going on. Just curious about all the new shiny things is all. I haven't explored all the new things yet, but what I see, I like.

The UI still burns my eyes! So white!
-
MIchalis: the old forums had much more contrast between background and font colour.
-
Still getting used to the new layout, but the thing that is really bugging me is the banners and menu items at the "top" of the page actually fill over 2/3rds of my screen. Any chance they can be consolidated; I don't remember the old forum wasting that much real estate.

Been away for the weekend with the family so I've missed this til now...!! really well done guys..!!

Also, where can I inquire how to sell some of my models?
No hints for this?
You will find your answer to this here, view topic http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=179&t=46087&start=60

I'm happy with the new look, but pages seem to load pretty slowly.
Also I'm seeing 'All our ads are sketchup related, you are missing relevant content'
Are these 'popups' or something else? I have popups blocked generally.
Baz -
Are you using some AdBlock, Baz?
These are no popups. We also hate popups. These are just the placeholders for the ads you are probably blocking.
Slowness is a serious issue however. Most of the time, the pages load nicely and fast for me but occasionally, they indeed load slowly. While on the old forums, once two "gues" users (from two IP's of the same block) made so many parallel queries (i.e. scraping the site brutally) that the whole server went down. Well, we banned those IP's but this can happen any time.

Seems there was a little problem with copy direct link of images
between French part to English part : "link broken"So I upload again images on the English part
-
Pilou, the French forum (and every other subforums down there actually) is "permission based" (you need to sign up to the usergroup). No wonder an attachment there cannot be seen outside that particular forum.
Maybe we should abandon this permission system - but then all foreign language post will appear in every other member's "new posts" list (this is why we keep them permission based). I will look into some other solutions.
-
Thanks Gaieus, will check my settings.
Baz -
Don't misunderstand me, Baz, I am not ranting with you for using AdBlock (I myself use it most of the times, too).

yes but the curious thing is that i was abble to see it when I had made the past one adress to the another one!
So maybe some numerous another copy / past are orfan!
I will see se if the word "broken" works in the internal seach engine
(works but hoppefully seems there are not ofan links images in my other postsMaybe this is arriving during the migration ? What was the date ?
