NEW Forum Software Issues

@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!

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

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 ?

@Dan-Rathbun Hi Dan,
Sorry for the late reply. I'll look into the possibility of image-sizing by the user.
About the search: By clicking the cogs near the search box, you can set where to search.

Something else of note, there doesn't appear to be a method or icon for uploading models. You can link an image or upload an image but not a .skp file (or any other for that matter).
This would appear to be a 'Reputation' issue as it errors to that if you try to drag and drop a file.
As @Dave-R can confirm, he as a moderator has the file upload icon but not we the great unwashed.
Makes it difficult to see what people are working with.

There is no link between Reputation and File Upload permissions in the software. Only thing I can set is the file extension and the file size.

You can see what we have set here.

Are you getting any kind of errors messages or alerts when you try?

@Rich-O-Brien
I get this if I drag and drop a file, my basic template, so very small.

And I see no other way to add it.

@Box OK, I try fix it. So its a permission issue related to the group your user is in.

Now I'm struggling to link a specific post or even thread.
Look at the 'Open areas and rounded surface' thread.

I see that now thanks.

What I do is type the name of the topic in the search and drag drop it into the compose area

@Box Try uploading and check for upload icon next time you're around
