Forum Conversion Issues

[HarleyDude]

**** Please read before posting ****

Welcome to the new Ospot. This topic strictly for issues you may run into. Please try not to post about the same issue more than once.

Here are some known items:
- What happened to my new posts? The conversion reset new posts to the reactivation point of the board. Nothing was lost, you may just need to hunt a little for posts since your last visit. Posters that want their post to be visible again in New Posts, feel free to bump your topic.
- Some colors are hard to read (we are working on this and we will do our best to get this corrected)
- Where is the chat, Ospot Store and other links? They will be coming as soon as possible.
- Some images maybe missing - please report these.
- bbcode when an image specifies the exact size doesn't work - We are awaiting a MOD to become gold release that will fix this. A work around is the remove the width and/or height statements

Code: Select all

e.g.
[img width=100 height=50]/picture.jpg[/img]
change to:
[img]/picture.jpg[/img]

Hi
Where is the chat room?? I really liked that in the old site. I really hope there is a chat room. It was a way for people to talk about fish problems right there.
Maybe I am not looking hard enough. I can't find the link.

Haha -- I posted that in this post where it says read before posting. Sorry, laughing with you. The chat room will be coming soon. I haven't been able to test its integration with the new forum. I will be posting soon about this.

This is also referenced in my first post. All IMG bbcode using sizes will either have to wait until the MOD is out of beta, or you can remove the width & height statements. I will go do this with your first image.

Regarding the clock, you bring up a good point. If anyone is scratching their head as to why the site maybe off, it isn't the site, but your personal preferences. To change your time, click on "User Control Panel", then "Board Preferences" and change your local timezone.

Regarding a Reply Page freezing, I do not believe that had anything to do with the site, but I will keep an eye out.

Hmm. Not sure if I understand. That doesn't sound like a bug to me. If you are not logging in with your username, you will not be able to login.

If this is your post, we ask that you help us out, edit your post and repost your pictures

Maybe I'm missing something, which is probably the case, but I don't see a way to edit my old posts I didn't see an edit button as I see on this post?

John can you post a link to one of your old posts here and we can help you better. Thanks

[JohnL]

It appears that we were able to move most of the attachments, but alot of the newer ones didn't make the conversion. JohnL - can you repost those attachments?
