Xen Foro tips and tricks

[Burnie]

Going to take a little to get used to, but looks nice.

On the old forum supporting members got to use a larger Avatar is that not so on here now? I uploaded a new picture, said it should be 200 x 200, but only shows up as 100 x100 (or there about).

@retired1 -Thanks and understood. I only have one link in my sig. Click the Image Icon to insert an image in my sig. All I see is a request for a URL. Their should be an upload button from my local PC subject to the max specs you set in admin after you turn the option on. Just like in the previous version of ECF.

You're using this link? http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/account/signature

I'll do some testing with this in a bit.

Edit -- I see what you're talking about.

Workaround..... Upload image to your gallery and link it from there.

If you go to someone's profile (for example, same on other pages), the main "new posts" link is not available.

Is it possible to put that on all pages so as not to have to go back to the forums to select new posts?

Thanks. No rush and yes I'm using the URL you posted.

I'll add it to the list. Good idea.

Sorry. There's no option for different avatar sizes in this software. However, we've added a couple of other goodies for Subscribing members that we hope makes up for it.

Thanks. I couldn't find the Gallery ?? so I just made a new Blog entry with my banner in it. Then I grabbed the source code for the link and inserted same into my sig.

Is the "mood" thing only for supporting members?

Also, will the post counts or join dates be coming back?? I kind of liked those for judging things in the classies.

They're still there, just click on a members avatar and a pop up comes up with all that info

I Currently can't upload from my local PC a graphic/banner for my sig. No rush. It's an admin permission. See

TPU: Add Signature Pictures | XenForo Community

No rush again I'm enjoying the new platform a great deal

I don't have an upload button when I click on signatures. I sure wish I could watch Youtube so I could figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Are we going to be able to be veterans again? I was so proud when I got to be a veteran a few months ago.

 

[SeniorBoy]

@kathi17 - The option to upload an image from your pc for your signature is not yet enabled in the admin. Your not doing anything wrong. I'm sure they will resolve the issue and I will still "like" you inspite of any displayed additional titles. I promise.

Ditto the above re: veteran status, and also location -- it's nice to know the general area someone is in, given that the www is worldwide.

Also... is there a way to see "My Posts" like the old software? It was how I kept up with on-going threads I was involved in. Doing it piecemeal with watched threads is tedious.

Thx!

If you click on a members avatar, it shows a user card which displays location.

to find your posts, hover over your username at the top and select "Your Content"

to find your posts, hover over your username at the top and select "Your Content"

Is that supposed to work by just hovering? Just wondering cause I have to click on it.

 

[AndriaD]

Ok, cool, thanks.

One thing I just discovered, which is kinda weird. when I clicked "account upgrades," it shows the correct date for my subscription to run out, but it says that it's an "annual subscription," that it will renew automatically, but I know that's not what I originally had -- I dislike auto-renew features and never select them, and this one is particularly bad, falling just a day or two *before* payday -- it could cause me an overdraft, which would cost more than the subscription itself.

You should see the menu by just hovering over your username (not your username next to your avatar, your username further up), but then you have to click on Your Content

If I remember right, supporting member has always been a recurring subscription. If you wish to change this, you have to edit that status in your paypal account

Perhaps someone else will chime in with more details, I'm a little fuzzy on it right now (I blame the cold medicine )

Yes. There's another "easter egg" for supporting members as well. But you gotta go looking for it.
