The new version automatically "imports" your avatar hosted on external sites onto our server. So technically you cannot link anymore b/c it is not neccessary Yea, apparently they completely removed externally hosted avatars. Oh well lets try this for now.

You should be able to link your avatar from a hosting site. If not, let us know. Can you? It downloads it to BZ, I didnt find the option to leave it on an external site. If I could then I would definitively reduce the size back to say 1.5mb

Well we have 2.1TB space now, but the problem is obviously going to be bandwidth. I need to balance that, but for now lets just get it working then I will deal with it later when I get a giant bill

Yup, found the setting on a per group setting as someone suggested They know far more then I 5MB and 2000x2000 max dimensions

ok everyone please test your Avatar uploads. *Fingers crossed*

That's a good question if its user level permissions.but I am an admin but I cannot upload an avatar unless its really small. I will take a look when I get back home. Yay for the mobile version.

Yea I am not sure what is up, was about to submit a ticket to ask about it.

Please take a look at the search function attachment.

go for it, we are not reverting unless something catastrophic happens.

yea toggle the edditing mode, (the little switch on the top left). Or the other option is to click the image and enter the URL. See attached

What posts? All posts that were done yesterday/this morning were lost in the move. There was a big disclaimer on the top of BZ yesterday stating such. Sorry

[img=http://s004.radikal.ru/i205/1002/bb/8daaf3ce401f.jpg] Try again?

^ can you tell please post the URL to the image you are trying to post and we can go from there? I am not sure why its not working for you.

The one you just posted previously is formated incorrectly

I think you dont need the url= part any more.

Yes you can select multiple images (hold Shift or CTRL) at the same time, which is my fav new feature.

test The IMG tags still work [img=http://img238.exs.cx/img238/8939/natasha44mk.jpg]

^I still can't get my old one back on - it's 150x150 and 1.7MB (courtesy of donbot). :| ^Thumbnail attachments are taking FOREVER for me. It takes aaages to load up - and then you have to save it and it takes aaages again! I am still working on the avatar issue. Regarding the thumbnails are you referring to uploading the thumbs or viewing the images?

I think i still need to tweak the parameters to make it more optimized, or maybe memcache or something isnt working correctly. Please be patient while we sort all these issues out, this is still going *WAY* better then the last major upgrade we had where the whole site was falling over with a few users.

Which pics? Avatars or thumbnails? We are on slower disks (because i needed the extra capacity) but if you can show me an example I will definantly try to speed up the site. I am still tweeking php and mysql

Avatar size fixed! (setting is called a really strange name )

Yes all that stuff will be removed.

^Me too! I've got a location too though... :| Go me! I guess we're special now. hmmmm need to look into that :| Find the cause :| Tis gone now. Thanks for the catch!

So to answer your question: 1) Please see the attachment, in the bottom right of each post you should see a "quote" button to quote the message. 2) In the old forum software, PM's were independent, now I guess they are more like threads like gmail. So during the upgrade they got switched and you have a bunch of old "deleted" messages. I am not sure why it didn't clean them up but they are there. I guess we just need to delete them (I have some going back to like 2007 :|, not fun) 3) I guess you figured it out :| as for the first one, I meant messages as PMs, not posts... hmm, I just had to copy paste something from a 'deleted' message and start a new one cause otherwise I wouldn't be able to reply.... I have lots of old messages too, and it looks like most of them are marked as 'deleted', yet there are some single ones not marked as such O.o oh well. I guess we'll get used to this new layout. It looks like its the same as a normal reply. Please see attachment. Let me know if I still didnt understand your question correctly.
