Re: Any admin requests?
Using the youtube embedding icon to post videos never works for me. I tried both chrome and firefox. any tricks to this..
Edit: I abandon posting videos mid way through the process and move on. thought I would complain today and see what happens.

Re: Any admin requests?
Can you paste the links you tried here? I know that if there is an embed=xyz thing in the URL, copy-pasting that doesn't work. Basically your URL should be like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abc without any other things in it.doofus_maximus wrote:Using the youtube embedding icon to post videos never works for me.

For example , the link in this uppili's post,
https://such.forumotion.com/t11263-has-panini-press-started-abusing-his-admin-powers-again#87323 , not visible unless I log in.
If there is such a setting, can you please disable it?
Thanks.

Re: Any admin requests?
Admin,
I see a screen for
a) view my posts,
b) view all unanswered posts,
c) view posts since last visit
Suggestions
1) for (a), a click on each link, takes you to the first original post that started the thread, rather than the latest post you had made in that thread. Can we change this behavior OR give an option in settings to select this type of UI ?
2) for (b), a click on each link, takes you to the first original post that started the thread, rather than the latest unanswered post in that thread. Can we change this behavior OR give an option in settings to select this type of UI ?
3) In addition , can we have a new screen to display only my unanswered posts? This is very useful for folks who typically monitor responses to only those posts that they make, rather than going through every single new post that happens between visits. For those who make visits once a week, this screen would be very useful.
Kindly consider these requests and let me know your response. Is it within your powers to make these changes ?

Re: Any admin requests?
As you may know, the technical infrastructure for this forum is managed by Forumotion, and they have very limited UI customization options. I will look into your requests when I login as admin next, but I am not optimistic that they allow this level of customization. I do know that in another, alternative forum software that I was testing a while ago, some of these options were available. I don't think they have those here, but I will post an update here after I take a look.rawemotions wrote:Admin,

Re: Any admin requests?
There is a strange problem with that thread. It appears as "locked" and what you are seeing as the truncated thread is a separate thread with its own URL. Both now appear in the Food and Drink forum separately. I tried merging them but the merge did not work. I have requested help from Forumotion to fix the issue.

Re: Any admin requests?
I got my answer, and it is not good.
Forumotion has a limitation that after 990 posts, the thread gets locked and split.
http://help.forumotion.com/t1709-some-limits-of-forumotion-forum
1. Number of posts: 8 million, can be increased to 4 billion once breached. We are at 93,000 so we don't risk hitting that.
2. Message length: 65,000 characters. This applies only if someone is trying to copy-paste a book or something.
3. Signature length: 1,000 characters. This ensures that people don't have signatures that spam the forum.

Re: Any admin requests?
It seems to be one of those design features supposed to protect you from password hackers. It is supposed to discourage people who want to try to guess your password using an algorithm. I don't know how big of an issue that is on SuCHat, but more to the point, I don't know how to disable that "feature."Guest wrote:chat app on the other site sucks. also if i mistype my password twice, it makes me wait 15 min. its worse that icicidirect. they let you type ur pwd twice but also let you know if your capslock is on after the first time.

not sure what part of the globe you are in, but chat is broken.

Yay. This is the first ilu anyone said to me this whole month. (assuming ilu = I love you, and not something other double meaning laddu thing going around). Except for my baby who never forgets to hug me, it's just been, ihu ihu from all quarters, i.e. the other kid, team, and god.

The problem with chat was that a lot of spambots had created many user IDs using scripts. There were over 400,000 user IDs on chaikaapi.com . So I tried deleteing some of those user IDs. I am sorry if I deleted your user ID inadvertently. Please create your ID again and you should be good to go.

yeah, i think my ids got deleted, both kinnera and nenu. I'm not able to login. It says the password is not correct. Let me create them again. Thanks for working on it.

Re: Any admin requests?
In order to prevent this situation from occurring again, I have implemented a captcha image on sign up. This is a picture that shows up when you are signing up; you need to enter the letters you see before you can sign up. This helps prevent spambots from signing up.
All user IDs on chaikaapi.com were deleted in this process. Please recreate your use IDs. You don't need to prove a valid email address, just something that "looks like" an email address.
Kinnera, your ID should still work as you created it after the change.

Re: Any admin requests?
The stylesheet files for the themes are hosted on chaikaapi.com. The changes I made were: upgrade the MyBB installation of forum software there (to improve spambot prevention), and upgrade the chat software to the latest version (to improve performance). When I did the upgrades, I deleted everything on chaikaapi.com and started from scratch. I forgot to put back the stylesheet files, so the themes broke here.Huzefa Kapasi wrote:texas! curious: what went wrong?Idéfix wrote:It should be fixed now. Please try and let me know.
