New Design and Upgrade to Forums, Galleries and Classifieds!

[Forgiss - Sean Nel]

Hmmm... we haven't changed anything recently to formatting, CSS or Layout...

Opera Mini does work on the principle that the page you are loading gets pulled to opera's servers, recompiled and compressed and then sent through to your device, so maybe something changed on their servers or the way they are ingesting content

thanks.

Hi I recently picked up a problem with ipad, I cannot comment on photos. Text block is there but greyed out(not here in quick reply obviously) and when I touch on it the keyboard doesn't pull up. Using safari not forum runner

Hmmm... Strange, this reply is from my iPad, so.... Where do we start to figure this out?

Whenever I try to change the number of ads to be displayed per page in the classfieds section, it has no effect and gives an error on the page. I have attached a screen dump.

I have this issue on both IE9 and Firefox.

As mentioned Sean, Forum works fine, but it is when I want to comment on a photo using IPAD.

Not unique to the ipad, I cant post from my blackberry (opera) at all in the forums(quick reply and advanced), its grayed out, but its been like this for weeks, posting was possible earlier.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear... I can do both (forum, classifieds and gallery), from my ipad and iphone - Sorry if I asked this in the past... is your editor set to advanced?

[Deneys]

Odd one. I just commented on a photo using my iPad and all worked fine

There was a "known" issue with opera and VB that we saw last year... that one we could sort out by suggesting to people to switch to "desktop" view instead of "mobile" view. Don't know the blackberries well enough to give a definitive answer and nobody here owns one for us to do extensive tests

[CarlNicholson]

Cool I've got you now Sean. Editor is in Advanced WYSIWYG mode, will check what IPAD is doing with it.

I think it would be nice if an automatic resizing feature was available on ODP, so that you don't go through the whole rigmarole to upload, only then to see the image is over size limit.

It was removed because the algorithms to resize on the server is not anything as good as the ones in photoshop or lightroom, which results in a slightly "softer" images in some cases. People felt it doesn't do their images justice (it also re-compresses the image when it saves after the resize which means often compression artifacts showed up)

[Karin Leibbrandt]

I always thought that it was strange that we don't have that on ODP, and now I understand!

Something for the list.

Private Messages:
It would be great to have a 'ping' feature, so that you can ping someone if they reached their P.M. limit and their PM capacity are filled, just something telling the person that they have reached their PM limit and someone wants to send them /reply to their message, or the forum should be able to keep your message somewhere in suspension/memory and in the meanwhile send that person a message that they have pm's and should delete some messages in their PM box to receive new messages

Believe it or not, I have actually added that one to the list a while ago... unfortunately it's on the development list because oddly enough, there is no "warning" feature on VB for it...
