These guys are doing a great job, if you don't like it then I suggest you go elsewhere


 

Disappointing format, cumbersome, slower than previous version


Sometimes simple is best.


Shame that 20+ days worth of posts have been "lost"


Going home for the weekend thread not working.


Some warning that this was going to happen over the weekend would have been nice.

Every time I 'refresh' the page on a PC (Windows 10) I have to re-log in. That's easy to do, of course, but unhelpful. Additionally, unlike the older version, clicking on a link with a 'new to me' post takes me to the first post on that thread, unless I click on the tiny arrow which take me to the last. The old version used to take you to the last post you had read, which was more useful.


But it's great that the forum is still here and we will get used to its vagaries, I'm sure.

Hi.


1. I've had attempts to attach a .pdf file to a post declined with the error message "Invalid file extension: 5,2285583.pdf". I used them in the Phorum version: it was easy to print html to pdf, and they retained the clickable links.


2. I've also, like a previous poster, had the 'illegal language' report when trying to submit a changed global setting within Board Preferences.


3. I think I've also lost, or failed to have saved, a draft post. If anyone has succeeded that would be useful to hear and I'll try again.

Just a thought, try renaming the file to remove the "," in it to see if that's the cause

I'd already tried that, dropping the '5,'. And also attaching a .html file, with same result. Having looked at the phpBB Proteus documantaion, I think it's just a simple config matter.

 

Hi Ian, I have enabled .pdf attachments. Let me know if it still doesn't work.

And one more thought :) I was enjoying looking through the old Drawing Room posts on the EDF site last week. It was a discontinued forum but still retained read-only. I had thought of saving a copy myself. It only consisted of about 320 threads, the majority of them with less than thirty posts, but assumed it would be carried forward here. But I've not found it yet. Under Phorum it lived at https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/list.php?27 .

The threads are still here, but they will all moved to the General ED issues so they're probably not easy to find. Mark informs me that the Drawing Room section hasn't been used for quite some time and it was hidden on the previous forum.

Thanks Joe. I think the Lounge would be the right place for them, in fact I think Mark might, some time ago, have moved some there already; he at least wrote of it. The drawback of that though, or any melding, might be that they really did become indistinguishable. Unless ?? made into a sort of historic subforum?? Though I'm not sure if anyone else will be interested. I'd be happy to write a script, to download them from wherever they are, for just my own personal delectation.


And they were all findable and in plain view last week; no hackery, no privileges, just a splash of inquisitive perseverance. ;)


PDF attachment now working thanks, btw. Nice to see the EDF links nicely remapped.

What has happened to the reply to post via PM option?


I used to use that all the time as my email would notify of a message but I never got a notification if someone responded on a thread.

Am I missing something and is it still an option? & if not then can it be re-introduced?


Thanks Sman :)

      Another recommendation for Oddbods. As proof of our satisfaction we've asked them to return for some more jobs, which is sign we were happy with their work

      Should facial recognition be mandatory for retail outlets?

      By beansprout · Posted

      Most of the groceries shops in Lordship Lane have a security presence…curious thing is I and another woman recently saw a shop lifter lift and not pay for a couple of packet of steaks, veg and bottle of wine..  Literally walked Pat the tills, one member of staff and security guard despite someone else going in front by a few people and mentioning person in question! I have to say, speechless and admired their bravado - I would not have the guts and knowing my luck, if I accidentally didn’t put something tru the till despite receipt would prob get stopped! Yes, worked with families, homeless and other people who were struggling for food so I do understand why they do it.. sad when you think about it, that in this day and age, all sorts of c people need assistance and help from community in general, food banks, olio etc….

      Major Incident?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      And another one, number 6, has just gone passed as well!  I presume that the LTNs are blocking them from a more useful route. Or the surrounding road works.
