I think 5000 is more than enough. nobody reads more than that.

Peter

The whole idea behind this limit is to fight spam.

What is the value of the + - buttons? I guess it might reduce the wasted bandwidth of +1 posts, but besides that the value is lost on me.

10K? :O Hell nooooo!

Msmoto

I'm with Adam...5,000 characters...

PB_PM

I don't know, I think we have enough characters on this forum already.

spraynpray

A :^o or a 8-} is worth a thousand characters!

+1. means you like the comment, -1 means you don"t - it's just another way to give your feedback if you don't feel like writing a comment

ok, changing back to 5000 characters

Any hope of getting 'insert file' back?

adamz

@shawino - it was taken down due to potential security risk, and I doubt it's gonna be on again

shawnino

Thanks adamz. I'm going to have to PM you for more detailed PAD instructions.

Been all over DigitalRev and everything I bring here from there is thumbnail sized. No idea how you made my image larger.

Why do new postings not bump the thread up to the top now? Or if they do for you, why not for me?

adamz

they should go up, apart from the very first four topics which are marked as announced.

Msmoto

Let's see if this goes to the top... or sixth position.... Sure enough..

Duh, I got confused! Sorry guys...... 8-|

what happened to all the emoticons ??

spraynpray

They are under the smiley icon top right in the reply box hearty.

What I would like is a btter selection of emoticon - we have doubles and bizzare stuff, but no :rolleyes: or :AWSOME: emoticons for a start.

Weird .. It wasnt working for me before.. just happy its working now !

\:D/ -> awesome !

Just figured why it did not work for me.. when you edit a post the emoticons dropdown doesn't work anymore..

Hmm .. its working again .. what the !!

How about having the page numbers displayed in the forums page on each post? Cause to read the last page I have to go through first page and move to end.

I mean this happens when the user is not logged in.

This problem persists: In the reply box I am seeing saved drafts of posts I did earlier when I return to a thread anytime later. I have tried deleting it and pressing save draft to clear it but that doesn't stop it coming back if I visit again later. Any ideas? I think we had the ability to get to the drafts and delete them in the old editor, but I can't find that since the editor changed.

Msmoto

Emoticon test :-/

And now the edit.... mmm...cannot get the emoticon to drop down...oh well. :-)) :-)) :-))

And the second try it worked...??? But incorrect emoticon....and three of them...well, it adds to the fun...
Mmmm... :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Does anyone else have problems getting to the new forums using Firefox? Peter got me here by suggesting that I try another browser and IE is working fine, so at least I can get here. Haven't tried with my home laptop, only my work laptop with Firefox and work has us locked into an older version (10.0.9 ESR Version). It is sadly controlled by the IT group at work and I'm wondering if it is the version that is causing the issues.

JorPet Firefox 18.0 works great.
