Unfortunately, I see only this and no field to upload a picture  Strange

Ouch! The "delete" button gone, now this!!!

[Ultra]

I'll look into it later.

[gilescooperuk]

there is a strange button on the right of my posts.... which allows inline editing of postings - although there isn't a way of confirming the edit......

(I thought that might be an unlabelled delete function)

[Ultra]

I believe all the latest little niggles have been addressed.

Well the loss of the delete (remove) button has been fixed, thanks, but that was more than a little niggle I'd say!
Still seems not to be possible to change the look from the "Apollo" that I changed "back" to but that doesn't bother me.
Whether it's general or just in "Apollo" there are a lot of non-intuitive symbols scattered about (like the one gilescooperuk just referred to) and an easier to see symbol for something obvious such as "more than 20 posts" than for the more useful "thread you have posted in"

Everyone's theme has been reset to the default theme, mea culpa.

The message indexes now feature working thumbnails for all threads with attachments on this, the default theme, only.

See what I mean:

http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?board=21.0

With this in mind, the theme you see is the only one I am offering.  I don't care to maintain any others.

Well the loss of the delete (remove) button has been fixed,

Has it?
I still don't have it so can't delete any of my postings, just 'Quote' and 'Modify' as before.
All I have is a button to remove the whole of one of my own Topics entirely, which includes what others have posted on it too.

Or maybe I have it but only on posts from now on, as I see it's there on this post but not on any of my older ones!  So maybe I should use it and remove this post!!

I took a look at the old solved puzzles...the pics are definetly ruined by the watermark...I mean the little script on the bottom is fine, but the quality is much lower...I compared a pic of mine before and after ...

[Ray B.]

Yet you spoke for the watermark.
I didn't make he same check, but I was rather against it even without this.

EDIT: But, to be honest, I've just made the check on one and there is no loss in quality (have to check some others yet).

[Allemano]

Yes, it's true, it makes it very hard to identify significant details in one of my group puzzles...

[Allan L]

Can I bang on again about the "search" function please?
There seems to be an inversion in its logic so that many pages with threads where the searched-for words do not appear are listed first and are stated to have 100% relevance, and by about page 12 (out of 15) or somethimes page 43 out of 44 there the words are and the relevance is now 2.9% and by the last result with the words present the relevance is down to 0%.
I understand that there are browser search functions, but this one appears to be tailored to this forum with a field for User, and so forth and the one it replaced worked well.
It is quite noticable that the number of reposts has increased, presumably because a search doesn't show up the previous use. I tried to find one a few days ago to show someone, found it once but lost it, never to succeed again.

[Allan L]

And again!
I have just searched for Jowett Jupiter and there was one result as the first item on page 1 (relevance 100%) and the next seemed to be on page 103 (relevance 3%) followed by some more and then on into page 104  - the last was "relevance 0%" but actually scored 100 in that the words appeared and the puzzle thread concerned was a Jowett Jupiter.

[guido66]

And another strange thing:

If I google "ardie ganz site:www.autopuzzles.com", the first result displays 432 by Allemano as it should. But if I click on the link, it takes me Otto's #754 (Wrighton)

And very oddly, even though Google might give you 20 answers that look identical, clicking on each one will send you to a different page each time...  None of them showing what you're looking for of course!

But also it is just as capable of giving you exactly what you're looking for..

[Ultra]

I believe the search function is fixed.  If anyone is having any issues with it please let me know.

I had a go and what I got was what I expected, unlike the same search a few days ago, so looks good, thanks.

For some reason which I missed (if we were told it)  the "remove" button seems not to be there in most cases now.
The post I copied to create this one did have "remove" today, but my recent posts, including one today in the "Expert" section do not and I see evidence in the "by the numbers" thread that Neilshouse had the same problem.
ETA this post has a "remove" button as at 9:06 BST today!
