Sharing
I upgraded our version of Link Sharing. You will notice on the first post of a new topic there are little icons in the top right hand corner.
If you want to, you can now click on the link to share that specific topic direct to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or Google+.Photobucket
I have made it easier to add photographs that you have in Photobucket into the forum. You still need a photobucket account and you need to upload your photo's to photobucket first. When you are starting a topic or replying to one, you will see a Photobucket button under the smilies to the right. If you click on that , it will open a window for you. If you haven't already logged in, you will be prompted to do so. Once you have logged in, you can navigate to your albums and see your photo's. When you find the one you want, simply click on it. It will have a blue border. Hit the 'Paste Media' button and it will put the correct code into your post for you. When you have finished adding your photo's, you can simply close the window and carry on as normal. Makes it a lot faster. It does not work with Quick Reply box which is below a post. You need to either use it in a new topic or a reply to topic window. It does not work on the Subsilver2 style.
Tapatalk
I have added Tapatalk to the forum. If you are accessing the forum from a mobile device running Android or iOS, you will be informed that Tapatalk is available. It costs £1.99 to download onto your device and it is supposed to make it easier to use the forum. You don't have to use it, but we have had a number of requests over the years.
Adverts
You may have noticed adverts appearing over the last few weeks as I have been testing things. I have modified the code, so that members that are logged in do not see the advert that was appearing in the middle of the topic, usually after the first post. They are still at the bottom of the page, but don't interrupt the topic any more. The adverts on the confirmation pages and various other places have been removed too. I have managed to do this in Prosilver, but not in SubSilver2 as it is totally different coding. If you are not logged in or a guest, you will see adverts within the topic. The adverts support the forum and hopefully will generate enough to pay for the upkeep and space.
There are a few other things in the pipeline that I didn't manage to complete, but I'll let you know about them as we go along. If you notice anything untoward or get any errors or messages, please let me know with details of the message, that I can fix it.
I hope you enjoy.
hope you've done the same kind service to others here on the forum, can't be getting special attention now can I!!
