My forum bookmark used to take me to My Posts. I can't find that option on the new system. Is it still available?

Seach engine friendly urls have just been added...

Ron this mod should allow you old urls to be redirected to the new ones.

I already changed my bookmark. What I would like to know is, can I see a listing of all threads that I have recently posted to, as you had in the old format?

justDIY · 4th May 2006, 02:50 AM

oooh SEO ... spiffy

and the url is readable too, not a bunch of seemingly random letters and numbers that some seo formatted urls offer

any chance RSS feeds are coming?

**ElectroMaster** · 4th May 2006, 04:37 AM

RSS Feed is a brilliant idea!!!! Im going to get onto this!

Ron, Regarding your bookmarks they are now called subscribed threads and are visiable from the User CP link up top. You should have this thread in there (if not please let me know because something will be wrong).

Will the avatars be comming up? It appears that there is no way to upload or select avatars in the user CP.

You can select it browse around a bit and you will get a url windows if its located on a site and a upload window below

Hiya ElectroMaster,
Eh mate you've done well on the forum upgrade but just one thing that niggles me is the date format is set as Yankie where for some unknown reason they put the month before the day. The old forum had the correct way of showing the date so would it be possible to revert back to the old way ie: 1/5/06 1st of May 06 and not as 5/1/06 which looks like the 5th of January. I'm sure the rest of the world formats as per the first example and have changed over to the metric system so in my opnion following the yankie way is just going backwards.

Cheers Bryan

I like the date format of month/day/year. When I see dates in the form of day/month/year, then I can get confused.

But the site is well done.
I wonder who will be bothered to rate threads.

For RSS feed, go into (vbull options -> External Data Provider) and turn RSS syndication on. Then people can get there RSS feed from:

Can attachments be viewable without having to click the filename.

For example. (Where did that URL button go?)
http://www.electro-tech-online.com/m...lcd-w-pic.html

The above thread has 3 attachments that would have been visible with the old format whereas now I have to click each filename and then hit back and then click the next attachment etc.

Mike.

**ElectroMaster** · 5th May 2006, 04:16 AM

RSS and XML feeds are now on. Thanks for the guide Mark!

Pommie: Picture thumbnails have been turned on.

They don't appear to be working. Or is it only new attachments that work.

I'll try one.

Mike.

Pommie · 5th May 2006, 09:29 AM

That worked OK. The images in the thread I posted above are still not visible but if new ones are then time will fix it.

Thanks for the fast response.

Mike.

Pommie · 5th May 2006, 09:39 AM

I see that the new title is:- "Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free"

Hopefully, the "diagrams free" bit is no longer relevant. LOL

Mike.
P.S. Are smilies going to make a come back.
