This link launches in the current tab. I think all links, even TSW threads, used to launch in a new tab. For what it's worth, I like the new tab better.

 

Good point, I want them to launch in a new tab. Although it appears only internal links do that.

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

I cannot see the image, nor click on the link. It gives me the same error message.

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

Yes.No.

Can you see the thumbnail?

No.Yes.

 

Other than that, it looks great. Good job. Thanks.

 

[EDIT] It looks to be fixed now. Thanks.

Scott,

 

I noticed that I lost all of my friends…as well as my avatar.

 

Is this permanent and what sort of collateral damage should we expect?

waitasec ... since when did you have friends in the first place?

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

I find that annoying. Not a jab at you, just IMO every link should open a new tab. We have had this discussion at work. I test software as part of my job and we decided years ago to stick to that format.

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.

I so avoided that comment. Glad someone didn't.

 

Still cannot insert an image Scott but I see yours.

Or, if your mouse is set up this way, click the wheel as if it were a mouse button and it will automatically launch to a new tab.

 

The problem as I see it is, most people don't have their browsers configured to automatically go to the newly opened thread (I do, of course...harrumph!)

Gotcha, and frankly it is not a huge issue. I have become a mouse button click fanatic.

 

Edit - Oh and how do I send you money Scott?

This looks Fantastic Scoot, Great Job.

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...

[The Dean]

We've been open for over an hour and other than some PMs - y'all are pretty quiet!

 

 

 

Seems to be working now. Nice job.

I still get the error message "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board. " when I click on the Insert Image button and paste in the URL. Perhaps I am doing something wrong?

 

Frankly, not sure I like the idea of adding in images, unless there is an option to turn them off. I don't want my boss to wander in and see me looking at pics of naked women that some ass uploaded.

Yes, the thumbnail and image link both work now. (They didn't a few mins ago.)

 

The new board looks great! Thanks for all the hard work!

I started posting my response before I saw people were having problems inserting images. Sorry. I just meant Scott's image was working.

 

As for being able to insert images in this forum, I have always been steadfastly against that option (so I didn't even try to do it, as I didn't know we regular peons had that ability). But I have to say, if the previews are small (like the one in this thread) it's a pretty nice option. I just hope it doesn't get overused by the mooks.

Thinking of the doorknob made me chuckle.

TMI.
