I can’t figure out how to upload a photo for my personal avatar. I tried. I looked in settings and can’t figure it out.

One quick config request, in case it is an option in the new forum software (which I assume is still vBulletin).

The biggest annoyance that another forum I used to be a member of that migrated to XenForo introduced is that all images in posts are presented in .webp format. When someone wants to save an image or drag/drop it from a web post onto a Mac desktop, the image is saved in a .webp file that can only be viewed in a web browser and can't be marked up or edited. If someone wants to save an image from a post, it requires either grabbing a screen shot or else using a clunky browser plugin to save that image to a .png file.

If the new forum software has this option, please...for the love of all things wearing roundels...do not enable .webp image format in the rendered message pages.....

Webp is unavoidable since it offers a lot of performance benefits. We do use it alot all around the new site already (but not everywhere yet). It’s not really a forum thing but a general web use thing and I think it’s hard to find anywhere that doesn’t use it these days. The truth is there are some even newer formats that people are moving towards/getting wider spread adoption and we are as well, so believe it or not webp will be considered as an older not well used format in the future.

But to the core of the issue, you should absolutely be able to open web p images and manipulate them on a Mac. I’ve done it many times on all sorts of Mac’s and windows pcs. Is this a very old version of macOS?

I don't know if it's just a me problem but I can't log in via iOS app or the standard web page version. Only through the beta web version.
Since I have this account it's always been like that. I have tried making multiple other accounts before 2.0 and was never able to login.
Is this a known problem? Any fix?

Before the beta version came out you could never log into your account is what you are saying?

Yes exactly. I could create accounts but I can never log into them before. Tried withe a different account a couple month ago was never able to log in.

Ok im not really sure right now why that is, but the fact that you can get in with the beta site is a good sign. since it is the future I might leave this alone for the time being. Is the subsite you use one of the beta sites? If not I can prioritize getting that subsite setup as the next beta to make sure its covered

yeah I use the G80.G82 stuff so far it works. Still weird that it just won't let me get into the app.
Thank you

The good news is that if it works on the beta site, then it will work on the app once I get the new version released which hopefully is in the next few weeks…

Could the problem be a character set issue with the user name or password?????

No it should not be since he has no special characters in his name

I assume that the password is encrypted in the database so you can't check it, and would not rule that out for having a bad character either entered by the user or as an artifact of the character encoding thing with the database that was discovered a few days ago.

Would it be worth asking @parked_comp to try changing his password to one that only contains letters and numbers using whatever system lets him in, to test if it fixes the problem everywhere?????

1) When editing a post, the action menu is not state aware, so it lets you select edit repeatedly, causing multiple edit controls to stack up. (see image)

2) If you click "Stickies" on a forum header, you get the filtered list, but none of the threads can be clicked.

Side note: I have code setup to update the Service Bulletin sticky threads for the various forums from a daily GitHub action. I'll start to look at how it works to create or update posts on a beta site, but let me know if there is any opportunity to use an API instead of emulating browser behaviors.

Awesome catch(s).
1) This should now hopefully be fixed, you may have to do a CTRL-F5 / refresh to get the fresh page running and see if it successfully prevents you from performing multiple edits the way you show

2) This is still being worked on to get the best solution, work-in-progress but coming

3) We do have an API which could be used for this, but the problem is that im still working on it with changes happening every few weeks so it would probably be more of a headache then help at this point. But I see the API going to a stable form once the site is out of beta. It also uses multiple keys and a type of CSRF protection so plus or minus on how much of a headache that also creates for you vs just doing what you are doing now. But if you want to use the API reach out once the site is fully out of beta and I can show you

Stickies should now be working again

Are you dropping support for post titles, or is that a pending work item? (I don't necessary care, but I use them in my existing code).

[analogue]

totally cosmetic, but the new thread text placeholder should probably say something other than "Post your reply..."

For now yes, they may come back but not for the foreseeable future

The current notification mailer is not using UTF-8 text encoding after you switched the sites to use UTF-8 content at the end of February.

So right now we get mangled quotes, etc. in email text due to the classic UTF-8 vs. iso-8859-1 (er, Windows-1252) problem:

X-Mailer: PHPMailer 7.0.2 (https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
