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 :)

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
