Hints for new folks to this forum software...

[mickey]

The old forum's "Home" page = "Quick Links" > "Unread Posts"

The old forum's "Todays Posts" = "Quick Links" > "New Posts"

You no longer have to "bump" a new thread to make it show up.

Uploading pics:

Use the FULL EDITOR instead of the "Quick Reply"

You should notice several tabs at the lower Left.

Click on "Attachments"

Click on the "Add Files" button.

Upload your pic (or drag & drop if you prefer.)

All the normal pic formats are accepted (.png, .gif, .jpg, etc.)
Plus .PDF files are allowed.
MAX file size = 4 meg.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Great post [mention]mickey[/mention]

In the full browser, you can also cut and paste a picture in

If you want to mention someone, rather than have to quote a large post, you can hit the ‘@‘ and start typing their username, a list will appear you can then choose from.

Hope that helps too!

You may also "embed" Youtube videos thru the Full Editor by clicking on the Small Monitor icon which is the last one and pasting the URL for the video.

I have been embedding videos just by pasting in the link. For me, works for vids but not for photos.

Both work for me.

Yep, I think it's working pretty great. One thing I haven't been able to figure out though: how do you embed a hyperlink in the text of a post? In the old forum you would highlight the applicable text, click or tap the little chain link button, and paste your URL in a little box.

Here, you tap the little icon and http URL and /URL code in brackets appear next to your text but nothing is embedded. Anyone know?

You have to insert your link between them.
It comes up (without the spaces)
[ u r l ][ / u r l ]

Just insert your link in between them like:

[ u r l = h t t p s : / / www.aguitarforum.net [ b ] A Guitar Forum [ / b ] [ / u r l ]

A Guitar Forum

Where do the "b" codes come in? When I tap the hyperlink icon I only see this:

[mickey]

I put the "b"'s in to make bold text.
In other words: Riverdog vs [ b ] Riverdog [ / b ]

Riverdog vs Riverdog

[RiverDog]

I put the "b"'s in to make bold text.
In other words: Riverdog vs [ b ] Riverdog [ / b ]

Riverdog vs Riverdog

I still can't make it work. I get that the url goes between the bracketed code but I can't get a hyperlink to show up as the words I'm intending it to represent.

You can also highlight the URL, hit the chain link button and it will add the tags around it.

I linked to an animated gif though, and yours is still. Can it be done with animated gifs?
