Enjoy the new-look Chews - Vanilla has been upgraded

uglymusic

Hi everyone

We're now using the latest version of Vanilla. And, with it, there have been some changes.

I've had a good poke around, and can't see anything that's obviously broken, but please post here if you notice anything going wonky.

Cheers

Dave

Dan

Bit posh Dave

That notification to update email seems to be gone now.

Dan

Weird, looks like I haven't posted a comment as the text is still in box, pressed a few times and nothing, then refreshed page and there's loads of them?

Dan

Done it again, I type press post then need to click refresh for it to post, will try one tap of post now and one refresh...

Dan

Bloody strange!!

Dan

The post button should automatically refresh the page with the comment but it isn't, I'm on the iPad Dave

uglymusic

Hmm. Let me try.

uglymusic

No. I'm getting the same thing.

I wasn't happening earlier.

uglymusic

OK. I've gone back to the default.

uglymusic

It still seems to be happening.

Please bear with me. I don't know why it's not allowing us to post properly.

@sovereign. Did you have any problems posting James?

Docfoster

Posting from iphone...

Docfoster

...seems fine.

uglymusic

Thanks Ben

I think it's a problem with one of the plug-ins. I'm working through them at the moment.

uglymusic

It looks as if two plug-ins were causing problems.

Both were approved for this version of Vanilla, so I'm not sure what's up.

Anyway, please post any further problems here.

Docfoster

Thanks for the magic Dave.
Your time and skill are acknowledged.
(Am I missing the smiley button...?)

uglymusic

You are.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to find an alternative plug-in.

Docfoster

Get some rest Dave.

I can use the old fashioned way for a while...
Ooo. THere it is.

uglymusic

Ah. Same plug-in, but it must have been interacting with another one that I've since deleted.

So it's back unless it causes problems.

Dan

Well done Dave!

uglymusic

Thanks Dan

uglymusic

One thing I should make clear is that Chews works exactly the same as it did before.

So there should be nothing to re-learn. Only things in different places with the new design, and few little bells and whistles that should make things easier for you.

Colin

EEEEK

uglymusic

Calm down Col, we've got your back :-)

Alan

It's, er, not blue anymore?

Let's give it time to settle, though 1st impressions count - I don't like the font. Sorry! I'm more a calibri man than Times, but that's just the way I roll...

uglymusic

Nope. Well spotted!

Dan

Where's the quote button too?
I was gunna call Alan a snob....

Guess I'll have to go vigilante - Snob :-)

As @Dan can't do it - Snob!

Doh, I see it!
Got that email message in a black box on screen again tho lol

Dan

Dave the comment u made about the quote button being top right I deleted.
I think everyone has admin rights Dave, I clicked the icon that looks like a little cog and had the option to edit and delete, so I deleted that to see if it actually worked.

uglymusic

Everyone has admin rights? Surely not!

I'll have a look.

uglymusic

You don't have Admin rights, but I don't know why Members can edit and delete others' posts.

uglymusic

@Dan. I think I've fixed it.

Can you see if you have the cog wheel still?

Docfoster

I do:

Edit
Delete
Order curry

uglymusic

You are a Mod, Ben, so you can do all that stuff.
Haha, I'm writing on ur post neneneneneh....

Dan

Have a look at ur last post Dave!
I can't delete anymore tho :-)

uglymusic

Hmm. I think I've cured that too.

The Permissions for this category didn't save properly.

Dan

Yep all sorted Dave

Stupinder

That was all a tad confusing. I fear change :-)

uglymusic

That's why you live on France, Stu

Alan

I can't get a youtube video to embed - any answers?

uglymusic

uglymusic

Seems you just post the link into the comment pane now, and that's it!

Is that what you did Ben?

Alan

That's just too easy, man!!! Thanks though...

Colin

Working fine from the wilds of Somerset now, nice format looks better than the standard forum site  :-D

It also seems to load quicker here we have only a 1Meg system, still on Epping Cable over head I suspect made from wet string and Pig Poo. Surprisingly the floods made it faster so the locals shilled it lots in the local pub.

Docfoster

Seems you just post the link into the comment pane now, and that's it!

Is that what you did Ben?

Yes! :-)

uglymusic

You're a star

quickie

I can't change profile picture..........

uglymusic

Have you tried these steps Paul?

Go to your profile page and click Edit Profile.

Then Change My Picture on the left.

Then you can upload a new pic.

Or, at least, you should be able to ;-)

quickie

Yes, it says " You don't have permission to do that "

uglymusic

OK. Let me see if I can see why you're getting that message.

uglymusic

Try again now, please. I think it should work.
