Administrators sam_webmaster Posted October 20, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted October 20, 2011 The software update is completed. There will be some tweaking over the next week or so. Let me know if you encounter any technical issues. Themes/skins had to be re-done due to the new software. So far, there's the default "IPBoard": and "lzcom_skin1" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrophile Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Very, very nice Sam! I love the new LZ.com theme. Much better than the Mothership theme from the previous version of the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators sam_webmaster Posted October 20, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted October 20, 2011 Some have asked... to embed a YouTube video, simply paste the YouTube "share" link on its own, and it'll turn into an embedded video when you post.

Administrators sam_webmaster Posted October 22, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted October 22, 2011 My picture and avatar disappeared. I think I can get the picture back, but how do I update the avatar? The profile section has been revamped. There is only one image now for avatar ("photo" has been discontinued).

Strider Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) While I admire and appreciate all the hard work you put into this site, and acknowledge that with technology "upgrades" are a necessary evil, I have a couple questions regarding the latest changes. 1. Am I not looking in the right place, or has the comment section of our profile pages been eliminated? 2. Most importantly, from an ease-of-use standpoint, in the old format, when I used the forum from my mobile device under the IP.Board Mobile format, each thread had the page icons, just like on the lz_bias setting, so I could just click on the last page to see the latest replies. But with this new upgrade, in the IP.Board Mobile setting, it just has the thread title, and you have to keep clicking "Next" to get to the last page...which is fine for a thread with only 2 or 3 pages of replies, but it's a pain-in-the-ass for the threads with 10 or more pages of replies, let alone the ones with a hundred or more. Can you please make it so the IP.Board Mobile setting also has the page icons under the thread title, just like it does on the regular settings? 3. Under the old format, you could post youtube clips by using the media button, but that seesm to have vanished in the new upgrade. How do you post clips now?

How do you post clips now? 1 - It's all there, just browse around the Profile section. 2 - I don't have much control over the Mobile theme at the moment. Try using the free IP Board app on your phone, or depending on your phone use one of the regular themes. 3 - I've answered that earlier in this thread.... Some have asked... to embed a YouTube video, simply paste the YouTube "share" link on its own, and it'll turn into an embedded video when you post.

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) Am I not looking in the right place, or has the comment section of our profile pages been eliminated? Hi Strider! I can help you out here. When you are visiting someone's profile and wish to leave a comment for them, what you need to do is to click on "Profile feed" (which is situated on the left just below "Overview") and then you can just post your comment as usual. Hope this helps Edited October 22, 2011 by Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) The new theme is nice Miss the Mothership theme though Edited October 23, 2011 by TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebk Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Looks quite nice! While the default board is somewhat easier on my old eyes (font-wise), that version doesn't have the "back to top" button, so I'm sitcking with the lz.com skin. Thanks for all the work, Sam!! One question - it the setting for the number of posts on a page still available and I'm just missing it? Or is it set in stone at 20 now? Thanks!
