@gullfo That's the plan. The software itself is pretty barebones to begin with. So we will build it out as we go.

We need a more forward facing approach to a users setup because I don't want to have to visit an About Me section every time I need to know info.

[gullfo]

@Rich-O-Brien like a hovering pop-up which includes the software versions so replying to assistance requests people can readily see the posited version info

[Rich O Brien]

@gullfo I am thinking we stick it in here...

Discreet and easily accessible. Hopefully as easy to do as it is to type it.

@Rich-O-Brien

This is funny.

[Rich O Brien]

@Gus-R I've now downvoted your post and if others follow suit we can make that post more controversial than the previous. Stacking controversy on controversy....

ok, that did it - adding 3 posts enabled the signature and site link options.

Good to know, thank you!

Hello,

as Gàbo (sorry I don't have the good accent on the a on my keyboard) asked me , I post my problem here.

I have a topic here https://community.sketchucation.com/topic/150841/orgelf-s-works-second-topic/579 . Today, about 3 hours ago, I wanted to post some pictures but after some uploads I had an error message

And even if I tried to post another message , I had the same error message.

I tried again few minutes ago, I could upload about 10 pictures and I had the same error message again.

Hope this will help. Bye

I know I am not 100% but this thing is driving me batt schlits.

Is there a method of modifying the appearance of this forum please?

[Rich O Brien]

@Mike-Amos What exactly are you unhappy with?

[Mike Amos]

@Rich-O-Brien

Not unhappy per se, just older and a bit inflexible. Ity will take a while to get to grips with.

I cannot find anything as easily as the old forum and the appearance is just weird to my eyes, no borders to break up the page for example.

Doubtless when the old grey cell sorts it out it will be fine just a bit of a shock tbh.

@orgelf Hi,

Thank you for describing the problem. Based on what you wrote, I think you might had bumped into one of the forum's limitations.
The limitation settings for images currently are:

• Max image size: 10000 KiB
• Max image width X height: 5000 X 5000 pixels
• Max upload rate: 10 images per minute

Is it possible you reached one of these limits the other day?

These are in place to prevent spam.

[Rich O Brien]

@Mike-Amos The current vibe is a skeleton which we will improve over time.

There's many aspects that I am not a fan of either. But the previous was too old and had many security issues we needed to constantly patch. This is huge improvement over that.

Once we get a handle on the current quirks we are seeing then we can start polishing.

Does the new
design work well on cellphones/tablets?

[Rich O Brien]

@majid looks like this on iPhone XR

[majid]

@Rich-O-Brien And what about answering a post on cellphone?

[Rich O Brien]

@majid I'm replying from my phone with this

[majid]

@Rich-O-Brien So, this is what I see, and it seems working..

[majid]

I have no access to "other languages" sub forums.
How may I and if there is a plan to get them back?
