Title: Forum Maintenance
Post by: Krash on April 24, 2023, 09:03:52 PM
Been doing some cleaning up on the forum, it's been running a long time and had gotten a bit ragged.  Everything should look and work pretty much the same for members, was mostly under the hood stuff.  If you see anything that's not right, post it here, with a link if possible.  I'll be checking the board regularly.

Hi Krash,
Thanks for your work.
I just had a member tell me he sent a PM so I went in and found it. It has been a while, but I seem to remember I would get an notice to my regular email that a BCM member has sent me a message?  Also font size seemed to default to tiny, but I see where I can change that. However, when I switched to 24, I get parenthesis on the screen that say that, but the letters stay same size.
Thanks again for all your work.
Ted

Confirmed forum is not sending pm notifications.  Will look into that tonight.

Where are you seeing tiny fonts?  Can you post a screenshot?

Ok, I've fixed the pm notifications.  Had to upgrade php version from 7.4 to 8.0.

Gary, check your website, make sure everything is working correctly.

No that it matters, but my post on Cerbo Touch Screens from a week or so ago has ended up on the "stuff for sale" part of the board. The subject matter had nothing to do with selling anything. FYI, thanks.

Thanks Krash. You are a good man and that is why you get the big bucks. ( I expect you are doing this gratus?)
So thanks very much.
When I type a message font seems tiny. I click on font size and ramped up to 24 or so. It does not change it. Maybe I just need higher power glasses but this is tiny font IMO

I just clicked on go to 14.

Clicked on 36. Doesn't change it as you can see.
Does that help you diagnose?

The size tags don't affect font size in reply editor, only when you post it.  Like this.  There's a WYSIWYG editor in 2.0, but it's buggier than a junkyard dawg and not recommended.

Are you using a desktop/laptop or mobile device?  Screenshot looks normal.  You should be able to zoom up in browser, or I can make the font larger, but that may screw up things elsewhere, and will reduce amount of text that can be displayed in the editor.  (You can make the textarea larger by dragging lower right corner, but most people don't know that.)


The forum is sending notifications again.

No Dan. Krash is right.
My cancer doctor gave me a thumbs up after 2 years, my back hurts every morning, I pee a lot more, I get three more new teeth next week, I'm about to need Mr. Magoo glasses, and people won't stay off my lawn!

But my FIL is 90 is now in assisted living, totally incontinent, has leg spasms, in a wheel chair wearing depends, and can't use his hands to the point he almost needs to be fed.

So I have that to look forward to.....

Was 73 in March, but parts of me are much older. 

My liver belongs in a museum.  :P

Mama always said "you're as old as you feel" for those of us that feel pretty good for our age - careful of the mirror but then there are those of us where a mirror might help. Whatever it takes just keep on keeping on.

I've requested that my barber stop holding a mirror up to show me how the haircut came out. I just told him I'll take his word for it, I'm tired of seeing an old guy wearing my hair.

Whatever you did in the last day or so has messed up looking at it on a Key2.

The "new" icon has gone regular text, no orange on it

The view has gone wider than the screen on the phone, scroll scroll scroll left and right

NYC is calling, tour must go on, for now...

Happy coaching!

Fixed that.

That should be fixed as well.  Had installed newer version of responsive mod, apparently it doesn't work.  Reinstalled old version.

The view is still wide at this end?

Don't have any Blackberry emulations, but looks ok on other phones and tabs.  Try clearing your browser.
