Not happy with the changes

Well i must say someone has been working overtime to make a total arse of this site,
ive posted a fair few hundred pics in the time ive been on here and now they can no longer be viewed due to changes made on the site,
theres nothing worse than looking through very old threads only to find the pics are no longer there, i for one will not be going through the 800 or more pics ive spent loads of time uploading in to photobucket to repost them all again.
As for the new site its soooo sloowww loading pages, i know its early days and this should be sorted in time, but i just wish the pics way of doing things could go back to how it was.

If you bothered to read the stickys and feedback forum instead of creating new topics you would know the site is slow because its still being worked on. As for pictures its quite easy to sort links out ? :slight_smile:

I for one think Rikki and his Techfriend have done a great job and this is a lot easier to use than before, things change and move on, we can’t stay in the 1990’s forever.

did you post them with html tags instead of IMG Tags ?

As i said the slow problem would be sorted in time, and ill be more than happy for you to let me know just how to make over 800 pics from photobucket reappear without having to repost them all,
every pic ive ever posted has been done in the way it says in the sticky on posting pics,
but sadly no pics anymore, if ive been reading the wrong sticky then any chance you could point me in the right direction of the sticky i should be reading,
just to save me wasting my time creating new topics and wasting everyone elses time in reading new topics.

Cheers

I am trying to find out if there is a way we can automaticaly convert HTML tags to BB - but this may take time

The problem with the topic your talking of is whoever posted the pictures used the incorrect tags on the pictures when they posted them, the old forum struggled somehow and managed to display them anyways, but this new one does not do that. I would be more than happy to edit your 800 pictures and fix them to work properly if I could but I don’t have moderation privelidges. I could make a new post with them in but it would just make the topic much bigger and all the ones with the errors would still be there.

Denis F Ive always used the IMG Tags box to post from photobucket (the bottom box out of the 4 boxes)

Had a look at photobucket and cant see any tags as BB that Rikki mentions, not to worry iam sure things will come good in the end

You have my sympathy m8, it’s not good to find that some of your pics are no longer showing :frowning:

Having said that I’ve had a look at some of your posts and it seems that you’ve posted some with BB tags which are still showing, but you’ve posted some with HTML tags and those are the ones that will no longer be visible.

If the admin can find a way to convert HTML tags to BB tags all well and good but in the mean time the only solution I can see is to go here and scroll through your posts looking for the ones posted with HTML tags then delete the HTML tags and wrap the links in BB code tags, you don’t need to repost the images from Photobucket just edit the posts with the wrong tags.

For instance the first of the images in you posts that doesn’t show is posted like this:

<img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y88/nianiamh/15df43ec.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com">

They need to be edited to be like this:

IMG tags are BB code, so they should be working :confused: :confused: :confused:

can you give me a link to where the ones that aren’t working are ?

I am not quite happy as well… Forget technical improvements but layout of new forum is crap for me…

The old one was transparent and clear, the new one is too tight for me…

Compare: Identical forum as our old one:

New trucknet (and remember all these flashing and animated elements on it):

I am not happy with layout (altough there are some usefull functions…)

Hello all,Well it looks like the end of the scrapbook has come.As you can see the early stuff is there but completely ruined by this advertising band on the right.then from page 11 when I changed to tinypics for resizing these images arent recognised by this new format. I’ve put all the cuttings away now as there is no point carrying on…I cant cos I dont know how to. I know this thread has brought a lot of pleasure to many of you and to be honest its been great fun for me also,there were thousands more I could have posted.
I’d just like to thank everyone who viewed the thread and to those who responded.
A final Cheers then,Marcus
Hi ya! marcus
I have to agree with you, it’s totally ruined a bloody good thread. your’s was the first thread i visited never mind my own. i’m with you on this one.I’ve even put one of my own on about this problem but no-doubt nothing will come of it…I’m thinking of deleting my profile and looking else where…But I hope we can keep in touch… ALL THE BEST MATE …Wagsie…wagsie

Wagsie , The inabilty of the page to spread to cover large images is a problem we are aware of and will be looking to correct, once done you scrapbook memories will show as normal again. With any major upgrade there will be glitches and we are working to sort those out… bear with us.

I’m only having the same probs that I did with the old forum - if the pics are over 600 wide then I have to scroll side to side - no change at all.
