dannybuoy Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I’ve not fully explored the new site yet, but I checked the pinned ‘post your pedalboard’ thread in the effects forum, and not only have the last month’s worth of posts gone missing, but all the image links are now broken. I guess the new forum software uses a different format for image tags, but that’s a lot of old content affected that should be possible to fix with a bit of scripting!

dannybuoy Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 So it appears that linking to external images with IMG tags is no longer supported whatsoever and the only option is to upload them? Seems strange that such a feature would no longer be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 The images pre-move have become a bit garbled so you can either edit the link to fix it or add the pics again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ped, how do you put the editor into raw mode? This would be really helpful for things like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I see a lot of the smileys are missing - were they img tags, or just where the old forum had ones the new forum doesn't have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Luckily most of the images were pre-screwed by photobucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) In that case it should be possible to fix all those broken posts! Far better to try and automate a fix rather than expect people to update individual posts? There’s a wealth of content on here that is now a lot harder to view. Same goes for migrating PMs from the old database. If there’s nobody on the team with the know how perhaps there’s a member out there willing to help? I might be able to get it done but I’d struggle as I don’t work with SQL regularly! Edited November 11, 2017 by dannybuoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Found an old post of mine with a YouTube link, edited and saved and it turned the URL text back to a working link. Didn’t embed the video though like the old site, is that not supported anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkfinger Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 BTW, couldn't seem to edit posts to 'fix' the images on mobile: There seemed to be no edit button. Worked fine on PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Haven't noticed that one yet? I did see posters could reply to Wanted ads but I've tweaked that now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Sharkfinger sent me one - it appears some previously 'unapproved' posts show up to the user on some things. We're fixing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
