We are back - sort of

[Wendax]

A very minor issue: The small pictures on the boards show the last picture of the first post, not the first one. See: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/featured-imagery/show-us-interesting-alternative-gas-engined-cars-(wood-gas-generators-etc-)/ and https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/featured-imagery/

The minor problem that is bugging me is that there is no longer an icon to show whether there are any new posts on each sub-forum.

Also - how much has this cost you, Pal ? Please be honest, none of us are Elon Musk.

EUR 40 + my brother's time. As he's usually charging USD 150/hour, we'd just be very quiet and thankful to him

LOL.

PS No emojis available without opening another site.

Some defaults would be nice to be changed:

- There is no need for the "Post a redirection topic" as default when you move a topic.
- When you are logging in, the "Time to stay logged in" is 1 hour by default and a change of that value won't be remembered the next time. That was better before.

I modified the "Time to stay logged in" to 1 month
I can't find the settings for the redirection topic, so that goes to the todo list.

Thank you!

I've been away for a few days and just returned. What a pleasant surprise!

A few issues I've encountered so far:

• Unable to award points
• Unable to upload images
• Unable to locate topic #s (needed for merging threads)

I've only been back for a few minutes, so I'm sure there will be more.

Any ideas on how to resolve these?

[Wendax]

You can upload images by using the "Click or drag files here to attach them." field at the bottom of the "Post reply" box. No chance for pictures by doing a "Quick reply".

Points don't work yet, but the issue has been addressed already.

The lack of the topic number has escaped me so far, but needs to be corrected. Or somebody tells us how to find it.

Thank you! Also, the file size limit appears to be seriously restricted.

See I merged two topics
Seriously, merging has been changed but that's not a bad thing. You just need to know where is your target topic is located (which board), then it's kind of straightforward:
1, Start with the one which you want to merge
2, Click on Merge Topics
3, From the list choose the board
4, Find the topic and click on the blue thingy left to it
5, Choose which topic should remain
6, Untick the post redirection topic (it is annoying that it's ticked as default but it's on the to-do list)

Hope this makes sense.

I just checked, there is no restriction on photo sizes. Please let me know where you see the issue.

[Wendax]

Speaking of photos: I can't add my profile picture.

[pnegyesi]

Yes, that is already on the list

[pnegyesi]

Thank you so much!  Did we get rid of the "The last posting from your IP address was less than 30 seconds ago.  Please try again later." bug?  That drove me nuts!

We did not get rid of that. Do you want me to reduce it to 10 seconds?

Better 1 second ;-)

I believe karma and avatars should be restored now. Please continue testing, I will continue fixing.

My Peterbilt, which I took between Quebec and Montreal, is back, and so are my points!
So I am a happy man who wishes to see peace reign among men of good will!
Thank you to the unsung workers of this wonderful forum.

[pnegyesi]

The points are back
The profile pictures are back
The emojis are back
The post the redirection topic checkbox disappeared

"The minor problem that is bugging me is that there is no longer an icon to show whether there are any new posts on each sub-forum."

If you are talking about this page: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php
Then there icons change colours if there are unread posts in the sub-forums. All-grey: there is nothing, colour: there are unread messages there.

"A very minor issue: The small pictures on the boards show the last picture of the first post, not the first one."

I think this is sorted, isn't it?

Did we miss anything else?

[pnegyesi]

Also I was told that the new design sucks and some people will leave the site

Is it really that bad ?

No, of course not. It will just take a little time to get used to. Patience is required.

[Bill d isere]

No problem for me !

I think it looks better, and just like everything new, it only needs time to get used to it. I like it!

[Wendax]

Is there still a possibility for the editors to trace the karma points added and subtracted, like the former karma log?
I lost one point and would like to know how that happened. And I'm sure there will be questions in the future about forgotten points.

[sichel]

Once again, thank you very much for your work! 
Real AP friends will be able to wait for the final touches!!!

I noticed the same thing earlier today, and I put in the request. Unfortunately it won't be quick, but it will be done.
