Board Upgraded - Features and Issues
-
As far as the avatar, i recall we had probs with this before. They may have moved where the avatars are saved. Could I humbly request you guys upload new avatars?
-
@wrwlumpy where did you find the emoji’s?
-
@approxinfinity Upload to where? It asks me for a url. Are we supposed to put them on the net first so we can then provide a url?
-
@brooksmd at least you have a B
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Go to your profile page, click edit and then you can pick your letter.
-
Guys… You can still upload a picture. It’s a little unintuitive when you don’t have an image already; mouse over the grey bar at the top of your user url (ex.https://kubuckets.com/user/approxinfinity)
and you’ll see the upload icon appear. It’s the one on the left here, with the arrow on it:

and you’ll see
-
@JayHawkFanToo I see what you’re seeing now with pasting an image url. I’ll dig in.
-
-
@approxinfinity That puts an image in the grey bar, but how do we put one in for our avi? I’m so confused.
-
If we click our heels together can we go back?
-
@brooksmd You’re right! Ha. No, I’m sorry man. No going back. Trust me on this one. These are minor things, we’ll figure them out.
-
So yes, it looks like you need a url in settings. One thing you could do is upload the file here, then grab the url and paste it there. For instance.
I dragged a pic of Devonte in, then it gave me this url in a link https://i.imgur.com/Rpw86DG.jpg
Now the NodeBB guys added an SSL cert for us, which is good, it makes our data more secure. However, it appears there’s a prob with the cert handling of images, so in this case, the image i dragged in doesnt show unless I change that link to http
-
Wait! I got it! k. I changed settings allowing for uploading of images. The option to upload an image showed up in profile!
-
@approxinfinity Hey, just curious , I just posted , thought I had screwed up - -it took my post , , was going to edit my thread but couldn’t find the edit - -what happened to it lol - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 edit is hidden inside the gaer icon. click that first.
-
@approxinfinity AHHHA, got ya - -thank you so much very simple thanks again – love this site. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 yup yup. bear with me as I get the kinks worked out.
-
@approxinfinity You da man!!! Still wanna click my heels.
-
@JayHawkFanToo yeah I’m seeing that too. Hm.
-
I also posted an issue re: truncation of title on new posts in firefox on their github repo: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/5586
-
@brooksmd I figured out why the images had a prob btw. If you right click on one of those missing images ,you’ll see that the old, old version of the board (like a version even prior to the latest we were on before the upgrade) saved the avatar images locally… and saved a link to them, which was http://. Well, now that we have the SSL cert (again, this means that your data is encrypted, so thats a good thing), that http url won’t fly. If you change it to https it works.
-
@approxinfinity testing link to site that is not secure http://www.nbadraft.net/
-
Gotta do a couple things and will be back on tonight to keep looking into issues. Please keep anything you find rolling in guys.

@BShark said in Board Upgraded - Features and Issues:
Switching browsers helped me.
Were you on firefox?
-
So emojis only via keyboard, not in banner menu while composing? Can anyone see mine?
-
I see it. It’s the same as images not showing in composing.
-
@approxinfinity The emojis never showed up in composing mode before when selected from the menu (just the command/name in brackets), but when obtained from my keyboard now, they do show up while composing.
More limited selection though.
Well, maybe not!
-
Lol that one you chose doesn’t show up for me.

Are you on an Apple device? It was an upside down smiley that appears on my Samsung Galaxy S5 (one of the unexploding Samsungs!) keyboard.
-
@mayjay hmm nope I’m on my trusty old S4
-
@approxinfinity Huh! Well, shoot… What op system are you on? I am Android 6.1 but I don’t know if they released it for the S4.
-
I was.
-
I use Firefox and it is having a hard time updating. If I go to an unread thread and go to the last previous post it goes there; however, if I hit the reload button, new posts are displayed that were not displayed before.
-
@JayHawkFanToo hmm. Can you try another browser and see if all these problems are only Firefox specific?
BTW, I grabbed your old image and reuploaded it for you. I’m gonna do a couple more of the old timers, get it out of the way that way.
-
I am getting the same thing on my iPad using Safari.
-
Thanks for reloading my avatar.
-
@approxinfinity purge still there?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 huh? purge still where what?
-
@JayHawkFanToo looks like the notification plugins were out of date .I upgraded them. I could also disable them. If they continue to misbehave, can you let me know and I may just kill them?
-
This post is deleted!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 oh oh. yeah looks like I have it but they tweaked user permissions a lot making it more admin set rather than driven by amount of prestige points, so maybe you dont have it no mo? If so I’ll give it back to you.
-
@approxinfinity no mo!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 try now? also, try to delete and purge my next post? I want to make sure you can only purge your own.
-
-
@Crimsonorblue22 you cant purge / delete yours?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 sry, try again?
-
I added you to a new group that has purge. Should have worked already, but now do you have purge?
-
@approxinfinity yes
-
@approxinfinity May I please have purge for my posts, too? My purge command says I do not have enough privileges, but I think it best for everyone if I can get rid of my deletes completely!
Edit: got purge. Thx!
-
Looks great so far. I’ll post if I have a problem. Reading this on my tablet while visiting my granddaughter (14 months) is wonderful. Thanks for all your hard work.
