Big bar to the right doesn’t exist in vertical iPad mode but takes up a lot of real estate in horizontal mode.  

that tells me that for those using an actual computer that we might be reading the boards in the wrong setup 

 

time to shovel / remove some snow

Sooooo....conspiracy theory 101.

 

It has not been much of a secret that I was a "volunteer"  mod, I posted in purple when I was signed in my Mod ID long ago and everyone jumped on the error...and posted it and probably laughed about or cried.

The volunteer mods are just that, unpaid volunteers who were "volunteered".

I didn't even know who some of the people were.

It was a secret because Arch set it up that way.

I think I was the only screw up, everyone else was anonymous.

Volunteer mods have limited powers. To the best of my knowledge, we all have pretty much the same access and I know *I* cannot see a pm unless you report the PM by hitting the report button or copy it. I think I've seen 3 in 8 years.

Personally, I don't want to see your PMS, TMI. 

To the person who was worried that we could see the real prices of stuff, we cannot, nor would anyone want to as far as I know.

The Admins on the other hand, are paid people who most probably can see your PMs, I've never been an Admin so I can't bet the house on it, but I'd bet a comic. I know that Arch could if he wanted, I know that some other Admins could, but I'm not sure if it's everyone AND I don't think they ever look, but if you were planning on taking over the planet and wanted to plan it online and use this forum, it's probably not the best place to make those plans.

Admins do review things the volunteer mods take care of, maybe not every single itsy bitsy time, but they do look and they certainly look if someone complains. Hence some things have been modified.

I'm not saying it's been as vigilant since Covid, but it does happen.

I'm sorry the software is all messed up. I had nothing to do with it, but I'm still sorry.

the difference though, is a moderator...paid or volunteer.....that moderates with honor and self dignity and self respect, and a moderator that doesn't. you have displayed those qualities time and again. 

it is the moderator that does not display those qualities that is of concern.

and kav takes the lead.:banana:  ford vs. ferrari all over again.

Like I said, substance over quantity.

Meanwhile, I tried it on the iPhone again when I woke up before moving onto the iPad.  Between those two and now the computer there are three different layouts to accommodate the devices.  This would imply that like the old boards there are specific settings to set your display to to accommodate the device you are on.

I am pretty sure that when we had the first update a few years ago, transitioning from the original software, what they are fortunately using on the coin side of things, we had the problem with the giant side bar.  Arch and the software support team were able to tweak several things.   

Meanwhile I am currently in a meeting about having a meeting to use zoom to share a stream from google meet... instead of just giving all the participants the link to google meet. 

This.

Is. 

My.

Life. 

So while this is all collapsing I will play with the settings and do something actually productive.

The NGC forum rolled out these "upgrades" a day or two earlier than here.  I just checked the two largest thread that were filled with pictures.  I didn't see any broken links.  All of the images were there.  I hope that will happen here as well.

I tried again this morning but the links still won't attach pics. You can't even edit and reload a pic, as there is no "edit" tab visible yet only the quote button.

The edit tab is at the top right.  It's shared with other options.

All you've ever had to do with this new-ish forum software (i.e. the one we've been using for years now) is post in the address to an image.  I haven't noticed that any of my image addresses have been mangled.  How are you trying to create images in posts DR.X?

Here's an example of what I paste that I'm explicitly setting to code in this post so that the forum software doesn't convert it to an image: 

https://am23.mediaite.com/tms/cnt/uploads/2020/01/babyyoda-1200x675.jpg

And if you just paste that address into a post, it gets converted to this:

babyyoda-1200x675.jpg

So ive read some of the last 28 pages, and still dont know....

Are all the newly broken images (from the update) in my Okajima thread in GA just going to stay broken and i should just give up hope?

I would wait - I think a process will eventually run to restore them, if previous update outcomes are anything to go by. If I recall correctly, if you try to manually repair a missing image from an old post the automated process may corrupt it. I seem to recall that happening to me.

So I would wait. Those that need to be aware, have been made aware:

I've put a thread together listing the known issues so far Red, and the broken images is clearly the one that is concerning people the most:

https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/480195-a-list-of-issues-relating-to-the-161220-forum-software-upgrade/

It's flagged to admin, and I know others have contacted them also behind the scenes. I have also sent an email to the CGC Management Team, to see if they might consider dropping by with some kind of communication to explain to us what is going on over and above that which we can glean for ourselves. Also, this section is monitored by admin so there is another opportunity for them to take note and give us an update, when the 'Ask CGC' team log on as they generally do on a daily basis (they monitor this thread too).

Short of all that I guess we just have to be patient.

We didn't get as much depth it seems but ours did turn to a compacted ice / snow mix.  It was heavy.  So... snowblower time. 

I don't mind doing it.  I went outside and did my house and the four homes next to and across from me within an hour.  Shoveling not so fun... Snowblower?  Fun.  It's like power washing.  I find it more relaxing than being in frivolous meetings like I described above.
