• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

At the moment i am having an issue trying to get my regular avatar down to the correct file size of less than 6kb :o
So just wondering if it is possible to be able to have the photobucket option like on the original site?

Also can the thanks button be installed here?

TIA Carl :D


PS keep up the good work.
 
Hi Carl

The avatar thing was mentioned by other Mod's today so I will look at it ASAP.

Ref the thanks button, yep I have been looking at that too, but there are so many different options I'm a little at a loss of which one to go for.

The standard 'Thanks' button is good, but there are some really neat systems where you can get help 'points' for the amount of thanks you get etc, and have little league tables, which I quite like, as well as twitter style #hashtags where you can mention people and they get notified. All neat little additions that I will look into and maybe run a little poll on whether people would find them worthy additions or not.

Have no fear, I'm on the case, but it might take a little while as I've a bucket full of jobs to do at home that need finishing first! :shock: :)

Cheers
Mark

PS I have never used an avatar so don't recall what the photo bucket thing gave us, can you enlighten me so I know what I'm researching…?

It was possible to input a URL to allow an off site image to be used, I had to resize the clog to get it to upload. The current system does stop anyone pointing at a very large image and stitching the page layout into the floor.

Ah okay, thanks Dave. Yes I think I've seen a Modification on the phpBB for for that. I will have a look and see, it might be that I can up the avatar size on the board a bit to help out...
 
Right, sorted. I have added the ability to link to a remote avatar. Go to your profile/avatar settings and set it there and let me know if it's worked.

Cheers
Mark
 


Yep that's sorted Mark. :)


One more thing for the list but no rush yet on this one. Just wondering if it is possible to add a find/ search users threads/topics? Rather than a find all posts. I find those easier when helping members out and/or looking for other WIPs etc by a member.

It is easier to search through say 30 started topics rather than 3000 posts ;)

Again TIA :lol:
