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?

[Dan Rathbun]

The migration to the new software has broken all the code snippets (both inline and code blocks.)

Punctuation characters have been replaced with HTML Character entity codes.

So, this new forum uses markdown instead of bbCode ?

@Dan-Rathbun
Thanks for the info, but we all ready know that, and @Gábor is working on a fix for it...
Currently new posts are unaffected, but any existing posts containing 'code'/'ruby' snippets are FUBAR!

[Dan Rathbun]

@TIG Good to know. (I did not see mention of the issue.)

[rv1974]

I love how the "Latest" on official forum redirects you to the red "last visit" break line - very clear and convinient. This and pencil "edit" button - would be nice to steal them

Image sizes

I did search this category but got no hits.

Discourse forums allow setting a size for images via the addition of a pipe character and size following the image filename within the square brackets, viz:

 ![cascader_toolbar.png|32x32](/assets/uploads/files/1718236046527-cascader_toolbar.png) 

But specifying size this way is not honored by SCF's forum software.

Is there some other way?

@Gábor ?
