ok... we don't allow external links to become displayed images, so that icon won't work and should be removed. You have to attach an image using the attachments section below the post box.

well, what extension are you trying? You can trun images off, although that hits emoticons as well. The penalties for adult images will be harsh. Very harsh. the previews are small (100 x 100 max). There will be NO images in signatures. It works really well with the tamer SabreSpace crowd.

ok, so that is progress. You can see the thumbnail and the image when you click on it. Now, just to figure out the upload issue...

well, the tags used for that were deprecated. What used to take 2 words now needs javascript or invalid code to work. The issue is what do people do who don't want a new window/tab? They have no choice.

Uhg. There are so many settings on this scattered everywhere... What about now?

It's not going to change. That is the way the web is moving. Just right click to do what you want.

Is everyone having this problem? Can you see the thumbnail?

iPhone Tip: Download the IPS iPhone app and manage all your IPS forums from one app! So, you could include TBD and SabreSpace in there...

No, what was written is the definition of a pinned topic and didn't make any sense as pinned topics are ALWAYS on top of current topics.

I assume you mean the word "pinned".

That could be. I forgot that both installs are using the same folder. It could have fallen outside of size limits or something and been deleted when that folder was scrubbed of orphaned avatars. Sorry!

Perhaps you missed the pinned thread on the old board that said all posts yesterday would NOT make the jump?

You can access the new chat room in the menu bar under the banner... WARNING: The service is temperamental and out of my control. It was inexpensive and works great when the server is up... but there appears to be many times when it is down. If you see a message like this: "[#CSTART-0] There was an error connecting with the chat room. Please notify an administrator." I can't help you - it is on IPS's side, not mine... Thanks and enjoy it when it works!

Try looking to the left of your Messenger panel and select "My Conversations".

Working on it...

That will be part of the reputation system once implemented.

It is now visible via the drop down menu in the lower left hand corner. However, it should have sensed your mobile device and feed you that skin automatically. What device do you use?

The Reputation System is not operational yet. I still have to think through the implementation. So, if you try to "rep" someone - it probably won't work.

With regards to the Shoutbox... I will most likely add an integrated chat room that logs you in just like the board does. That would make the shoutbox sort of superfluous, although I could be convinced to retain it if presented with a rational argument.

I'll answer this in the questions thread... http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/117685-questions-and-tips-about-the-new-board/

Tip: to send a PM to someone - there is this microscopic green box with a little arrow by their name - click on that and a little pop up window shows. Select the icon that looks like an envelope.

Indeed! Lots to absorb here and more to come...

I have to figure out the reputation system and how it should operate. That will be a work in progress.

Actually, you didn't. I have access to the old board and I went and checked. Unless your avatar consisted of a transparent image.
