Some people have commented that their browser on their machines make the forums look 'squished'. If you would rather go without the extra menu items, the direct link to the forums is http://www.irocc.ca/irocc/forums -- but there is currently no easy way back to the main site from that page.
How do we view posts we haven't viewed already (recent posts or something like that on the old forum)?
I think the new logo should be a transparent gif to blend in better with the back ground....great looking logoLike this
the features you are used to will still be available, just maybe in a different spot.
Can't find the links back to the main site. . .
You can post Youtube videos now.Just put in the "url" link ie, something like http://youtube_dot_com/watch?v=ZFQyYOtJ_yA but of course use web standard link syntax.IROCC Victoria B.C.
Upon clicking on any personal message, you will be anchored down the same page to the actual written message. This will look just like how a post would look inside of a topic. Next to each message you will see links on the top right to: quote the message in a reply by clicking Quote, reply to the message by clicking Reply, and deleting the message by clicking Remove. Also note, you can report abusive personal messages to the administrator by clicking the Report to Admin link at the bottom right of the message. The checkboxes located farthest to the top right are also used to delete messages upon clicking the Delete Selected button below the messages.To view sent messages, select "Sent Items" under "Messages" in the button menu or left side panel. Messages are only saved to "Sent Items" if you have put a checkmark next to Save a copy in my outbox before sending the message.

Quote from: light on January 21, 2012, 04:37:14 PMHi Bruce is there a auto prune feature?GWThere is a time based one. Go to "messages, actions, preferences" hit "actions". Prune is there. Not sure if it touches the sent box or not though.

it does both but it's not auto prune
Updated the forums a little with a portal system. It should be smooth, as its just pulling existing information out and presenting in a clearer(?) way.If feedback is positive, the idea is to scrap the current front end (the one with the results maps etc) and move that information into the forums.
I know ive said it before but i wanna write something up outlining the classes and what people need to buy. Super busy lately but i will get to it, unless someone else can make it clearer. I plan to have pics, links to product and links to how to's so its not all a surprise. Should i post a thread and you move it around?
Re: timestamps on postsThe server time is set to East Coast time. If you are not logged in, or have not set your account time zone, this will be the time you see when looking at post times.If you want to make sure your account is showing West Coast time ....Profile -> Summary -> Modify Profile -> Look and Layout ------ time offset (auto detect). Click auto detect.

Dear valued community members,On the 22nd of July 2013, it was discovered that unauthorized access to our website and database has been obtained on the 20th of July.The method is similar to the hacks that were recently conducted at other websites, even though those sites used other software.One of the admins account password was discovered, and from there further escalation wasn't too difficult considering admin privileges can do just about anything.Unfortunately, we are 100% sure that our user database has been stolen.As such we HIGHLY RECOMMEND, even implore you, to:1.) Change your password on other websites you are using, if you use the same password there. This is very important to do, as it also will help prevent other websites being hacked through your compromised password, if it is compromised.2.) Change your password here on our website.3.) If you use the password you use here anywhere else, say for example to login to your webhost, it is highly urged to change it.4.) Please note that personal messages may have also been compromised. We don't know for sure if the hacker only downloaded the user tables or not, although that's the only thing he/she is after. If they did: keep in mind that passwords you shared through PM should now be considered vulnerable. It's best not to take the risk and gamble, and just change any password you shared through PM as well.5.) Charter members, current and past, are encouraged to change ALL passwords if they ever sent any in to us. That would include FTP.Please keep in mind:This is !!NOT!! a security issue with the SMF software. If you are running the latest SMF version you have nothing to fear from this hack if you use different passwords.The method used by the hacker is that a database is downloaded from another hacked website, the passwords are attempted to be decrypted and if it is successful: they try to login to other websites using that username & password, or try to cross-reference by using password reset links.Unfortunately for us, a Administrator used the same password elsewhere on another site and access to our site was obtained when the password from the other hacked site was successfully decrypted. As a result, the hacker was able to login here with admin rights.Hundreds of websites have been hacked lately by using this method, so you are highly encouraged to change your passwords... ... And remember: don't use the same password on multiple sites! It helps to prevent hacks like this.Thank you for your consideration and we deeply apologize for any inconvenience this causes for you.By changing your passwords, you will help ensure that other sites do not fall victim to this method of hacking and help put a halt to the hacking spree that has affected hundreds, if not thousands, of websites already.-edit for clarification-Yes, the passwords are stored with encryption.Unfortunately, even encrypted passwords can be decrypted. Hence, the passwords used here should not be considered safe anymore.Any questions, please do feel free to ask.Please stay on topic.Kind regards,Board of DirectorsSimple Machines
