Its not just you. There is something wonky going on with the images and its related to the hosting change. Its going to take some research, so in the meantime, use the IMG button and host your images somewhere like imgur.com

Zé Ferreira can you see the search box any better now?

 

[Zé Ferreira]

Won't be on desktop for a few days. Will check it out though

 

[Russell Street]

Is the favicon missing, or is that something that takes a few days of cache-clearing to recover?

 

[doghouse]

Mine missing too.

It can.

 

[Grand Potentate]

apologies for the short down time. had to run a system update with today's new forum software release.

 

[Russell Street]

The favicon is back!

So, we've finally got animated avatars working!

A couple of things I've found in testing:

-Generally, square gifs work better than rectangular gifs. The avatar area is effectively a square, and the system doesn't compress the wide gifs into that square, so it will effectively cut off the ends.

-Large gif files don't work. It really needs to be under 1mb.

-If you upload a gif and it doesn't take (the avatar doesn't change) that means that there was either something wrong with it or it was too large, fast, etc. for the system. Try something else.

That's a tag. When you do a search on that forum, can you search for the tags? Like F1 FIA? Or can you click on that tag and it'll give you a list of other threads with that tag?

You can now. They just changed the subtitle field to searchable as tag. It used to just be a subtitle.

So you don't want the tag feature, just the subtitle?

Yes, but I'm not opposed to either. It's just convenient for adding more details about a thread, pertinent info, humorous lines, etc...

I'll look into it. You got a link to that other forum?

Thanks, No worries either way, was just curious. SA is powered by Invision Powerboard FWIW. It may just be a feature on there, didn't know if Xenforo had it or not. It seems like it has more than anything else so I figured there's a chance.

Just did some hunting. Nothing at the moment but it looks like version 2.0 of the forum software might have something like this. No guarantees though.

 

[Grand Potentate]

Just reupped us with Xenforo for another year.

Rambo, can we get NPR embeds for audio? I'd like to spread the message of libertarian radio.

Give me a few example links and I'll see what I can do

I'd like some NPR as well. Though I worry that shit is like the batsign for my wife, and she'd be here investigating all my ill gotten clothing gains.

The one I posted in Tyranny...

 

[Grand Potentate]

I put in a request for it. Will report back.

Seems to be working. The whitespace issue is being looked at. In the meantime, all you need to do is embed the webpage link with the audio via the MEDIA button and it should work. If you get one that doesn't work, let me know and I'll report it.
