Hi all,

I will upgrade the forum software to v9.69 in the next hours and will have to shutdown the forum in the process for 1-2 hours.

Thanks

I see the collab zone posts are now showing up on the 10 new posts column, wonder if they're visible to non-collabs as well?

Otherwise looking good Thumbs Up

Damn!

Here's why the EMAIL NOTZ are not always sent out

From: WEBWIZ ADMIN
Source: http://www.webwiz.co.uk/forums/email-notification-not-working_topic28468_post143882.html

Email notifications are not sent to yourself, as you would know you have posted. If you subscribe to a topic then email notifications are sent for the first time someone replies going on the last date of your last visit to the forum, another post notification for that topic will not be sent again till after you have re-visited the forum.

To test to see if post notification is working you need two accounts. With the first subscribe to a topic and then logout the forum. Then with the second account login to the forum and post a reply to the topic the first account is subscribe to.

The report post feature will send a report to moderators and admins, but not to yourself, again as there is no point in reporting a post to yourself.

If you still don't get email notifications check with your mail server admin what requirements are needed to send emails to remote mailboxes as you may need to use authentication settings.


Please comments, but think and take a deep breathe before posting, it may be a wise solution ? Share your toughts, constructive please.

I guess it's to limit the notifications sent, some members are not even active and were sent out notz.

Sounds interesting for this, but ... i'll wait comments from active members.

I understand but don't agree.
 
As an Admin it will cause issues with monitoring and moderating troublesome threads and personnel.
 
The Reporting Button is one thing but watching a thread is a completely different story.
 
Can you disable it or is it part of the new features of the upgrade?
 
My Inbox was nigh on empty this morning and when I first opened the forum ALL the posts had been marked as read already! Confused
 
another post notification for that topic will not be sent again till after you have re-visited the forum.
 
In which case I should have received emails at the moment I logged back in; but I didn't.
 
If you still don't get email notifications check with your mail server admin what requirements are needed to send emails to remote mailboxes as you may need to use authentication settings
 
Is a tweak required with the settings, as mentioned above?
 
It must be a headache for you M@x.

I was rather hoping for the old avatar size to be kept around here, but this is not too bad. I'd probably like it if I had a massive screen, but on my 13 inch Mac it takes up surprisingly much space.

I'm using 1280x800. Thanks for taking them down in size a bit, I can live with these ones very well even if I'm not in love with them Thumbs Up

1280x800, at least you have a very large width.

I suppose you will get used to them quickly, I think 1024x768 users will need more time though Ermm

I don't know how I feel about the bigger avatars.  Sometimes it seems that due to their size, a message of 1 to 2 lines can take up the majority of my screen.  This is coming from someone who recently switched to a 1440x900 monitor BTW.
