Kerry Posted 17December, 2018 Report Share Posted 17December, 2018 Yes, things have changed again! 😳🤔😊 As we are part of a larger community of forum users, and the software we use is constantly updated, we're required to conform our forum software to keep up with the various security and interface developments. The good news is that this update has new options which add new functionality to the PFA for our community, which includes the ability to change the background imagery, and a new layout for the menus. All the menus are still there, but they are now on the lefthand side of the screen instead of under the top banner. We have also added a better interface for sharing images. The PFA Gallery can be found under the header banner on the homepage where images can be uploaded and commented upon. You can also upload videos here but we are having difficulty with video previews showing up (this apparently is a common issue between Google and the ROW!) Members allocation of disk space to allow multiple images has also been increased significantly so UPLOAD AWAY! Finally, I do know that change an be unexpected and unwelcome... so if you want your PFA experience to look the same as it has for the last couple of years, YOU CAN... 🤗 Simply go to the bottom of the homepage and click on the THEME arrow: and then select the PFA.02.->09.18 (Blue & Gold) skin (as per below) and all will be right in the world again... Any questions, please ask below... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHeadsTas Posted 17December, 2018 Report Share Posted 17December, 2018 I just clicked and thought "Wow, what have I done, this looks way different". Good to know it wasn't me managing to change my settings without trying to 🙂 Look forward to playing with the new features 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerry Posted 17December, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 17December, 2018 I actually really like the last pic (haunted hills) as a background on the phone for the mobile version, and a different one on my desktop version, but hey, each to their own! 🤙🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typ9xx Posted 18December, 2018 Report Share Posted 18December, 2018 Appreciate the effort, but...I don't like it. The smaller font for the headings is a PITA for those of us who's arms are becoming too short to read stuff that small. I prefer the splash of colour with the blue, too.

Typ9xx Posted 18December, 2018 Report Share Posted 18December, 2018 Yep, thanks. Jumped on to that option when i first saw the change. Like I said, appreciate the efforts, just not to my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well, are my eyes deceiving me, or has Photobaskets reinstated all the photos they "deleted", but now with a "Proudly Hosted by Photobucket" watermark on top?!?! Don't mean to hijack the thread, but 😳 😳 😳 😳 😳🤯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 19December, 2018 Report Share Posted 19December, 2018 correct, Kez, unbelievable....I just checked back to stuff I posted in 2012 and there it is again. with the Photobucket watermark....interesting..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philbee Posted 19December, 2018 Report Share Posted 19December, 2018 I think the watermark should say something more like, “Proudly hosted by Photobucket FOR FREE! So to all those who are paying, suffer in your jocks!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Posted 19December, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 19December, 2018 I think it should say: For all those who suffered needlessly for our creed.... and then some sort of apology. 🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried the new image uploader feature. So easy, Thanks, @Kerry and co. I also tried to direct load an 18sec video. Computer said "No" I only had 48.2MB left 😏 Back to Youtube linky then.

Yeah, videos are a difficult thing not only for the amount of Mb’s they are made up of, but there are protocols which don’t allow mere forum users to show previews of their videos uploaded in the new gallery which is pain also, but this is a Google/Apple/Microsoft battle of the Tight’ns....😉🙄. Glad you like your new data allocation, and interface. 👍🏻🤘🏻🎅🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_189 Posted 28December, 2018 Report Share Posted 28December, 2018 Great work @Kerry I like the new theme. Thoughts on adding the ability to add an optional "real name" to your bio that i've seen on other forums? Reason being - we do a lot of social events its always good to put a real name to a handle? Maybe not so much for those that have used their name in their handle like you and I! Just a suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
