Forum updated

peter

I have updated the forum software. If you encounter any problems, please first try to reload the page and if the problem still persists, post it here in this thread.

It seems that there is a limited time when you can edit your post. Why is that?

peter

It was set to 10 minutes. I changed it to until the next post has been made.

I have moved the forum to the stagetraxx.com domain to be consistent with the rest of the website.

You will have now have to login again. There should be no other consequences.

peter

Another update of the forum software. Please report any problems in this thread.

I have updated the forum software and also installed a voting extension. When creating a new topic you can choose to add a poll. I will use this feature to get your opinion on which new features to prioritize.

peter

Hm, the voting extension did not work as planned. You could create polls but it was only possible to vote for a single option. That's not really useful for the purpose of prioritizing items. I have therefore removed it.

Thanks peter,

i get it wrong so much, a ten minute edit or pre next post edit option is never enough. 😂

i think it’s better if we can edit our posts as and when, it’s hard enough I think editing on an iPad without having time constraints, especially if you create a lengthy text and then can’t post it.

Hi peter , I’m trying to help the bloke nath, with his midi problem, I think it would be nice if we had a quote option on here 🙂

peter

You can edit your posts until a new post is made to the thread.

And quote is already possible. Just select the text you want to quote and press the "Quote" button 🙂

Hi Peter

i think its hard hard to create a reply and have all the images and text on hand when you are up against the clock. Responses that need a few images and explanations, you are in the edit process and then get told “you don’t have permission to do this “ it’s frustrating to be honest.
im going to check the quote option out.

Thanks

Doh, I was looking for the physical quote button, 😂😂

peter

I can either enable a timeout for editing or the option that is currently enabled that you can edit the last post as long as no one adds another post to the thread. That makes absolutely sense, as editing your post after another has been made, might bring the whole thread out of context. So I'm not going to change that.

Kevtyler

Fair enough, 🙂

peter

Updated the forum software once again to fix file upload problem.

peter

A database update failed today and there was a short period of time where posting was not possible. This has been fixed and the forum should be working again.
