John Kettler Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Michael Emrys, I'm starting to wonder whether my computer's got some sort of "brain" tumor. I've flushed all the caches, reset Safari, run MacKeeper (no viruses and fixed all housekeeping issues) and rebooted my rig. No matter what I do, I still see no PM access icon on either any of my posts or back inside my profile. I have no problem calling up someone else's profile and finding the button to leave a PM, but can't find any icon such as you describe anywhere at all. I don't get it, and it's driving me nuts. Do you guys see this stuff in the 8-12 micron band, while I'm stuck here in the visible?! Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, John Kettler John, as you are looking at this very post look to the top right of the web page, there you will see your name where you can access your profile, to the left of that is an open envelope icon, that is how you can access your PM's.

Vinnart Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 My thoughts on the color scheme after seeing it for awhile, and also on my phone is that I would have no problem sticking with the old tan/kahki color scheme, but with the new features. It was easier on the eyes, wasn't broken, and would give the forum some of a familiar look. The white is especially blinding on the phone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Raptorx7, Thank you! Turns out I've been consistently looking too low, as in the far right corner at the level where Forums are listed. No wonder I couldn't find the blasted icon. With my SAN restored, am off to confront Cthulhu! Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sburke Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Metalhead, hell yeah. Hippy...ewwwwww. Rockin' Harry is another longhair as well, I believe. So what was Sergei talking about "notice anything new", with the video? Mord. I should post my pic from back in my dead touring days in my teens and early twenties. It is just depressing though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waycool Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 The new forum is much better display wise on my Nexus 4 phone. It also seems to have loads of new features. Well done BF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnart Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 What is the best way to post screen shots in the new forum? I notice mine from photobucket show as links in the thread rather than the screen shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) What is the best way to post screen shots in the new forum? I notice mine from photobucket show as links in the thread rather than the screen shot. odd cause mine are still showing and I'm also using photobucket. I just hit the img link and it auto copies Edited December 22, 2014 by sburke 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnart Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) I just tried a Photobucket test, and got an error message "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community". I copied and pasted the image url from photobucket. It will not let me post it. Edited December 22, 2014 by Vinnart 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Experimenting: Okay, this is what I got so far. The site doesn't like my Photobucket either. But if you go to "Use Full Editor" when editing your message it *might* give you an option to attach a file from your desktop. I say 'might' because it works for me but I'm on the Beta list so I may play by different rules. There's got to be an easier way.

Vinnart Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Thanks Mike. I got it to work by right clicking on the image at photoshop and selecting "copy image location", then pasting it into the box provided here when selecting "image" . Odd selecting the image url provided by photobucket no longer works like it did in the old forum.

A Canadian Cat Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Here is a test form an older screen shot from 2012. I hit the Image button on the tool bar and pasted the url of the image http://www.lesliesoftware.com/forforumposts/2012/BrenCarrierOpensUp.jpg and it just worked. I'm not using photo bucket mind you. I think the trick is to get a url to the .jpg image and then it will work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riptides Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Ahh, I see about 1/2 my available page being taken up by the Battlefront Banner as I am reading and navigating through the topics. Makes for a scroll-fest. What gives? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Am wondering what happened to the "Joined on" data block (appearing in each member's post) we had on the prior version of the Forums. I always found that helpful in getting a sense of how to approach or respond to that Member. New arrivals view the game differently than do those of us whose CM experience dates back to the edge of myth. To them, CMx1 is something from the wargaming history books; to us, heady times (on several levels of meaning) with games which were formative, informative and even revolutionary.
