I am having trouble accessing the image gallery. I hope you are planning to keep it.

Now all fixed and working again...

Hello everyone.

After another few hours of painstakingly editing the mod code and the database for the remaining misbehaving mods, I have restored everything that we had before to full working order, as far as I can tell.

Now "recent topics", buddies, bookmarks and gallery are all back.

If you spot missing or misbehaving functions though, do please shout and I'll fix it. I'm getting quite good at this...

Going to get a job as a SMF installer and maintainer then Chris, I can see there is a market for it.

HaHa - feels like it.

And, btw, "Say Thanks!" was prioritised yesterday just for you, Sean, since you asked so nicely!

Observant users will notice that I have also managed to fix another irritation of the other forum, which was that clicking "login" when within a page took you back to the homepage upon successful log-in. Now it returns you to the thread you were looking at (which is what it should have been doing originally...). I discovered why while battling the other issues and fixed that too!

Yep but having to go into the different forums and out again gets a bit tiresome,

That's a nice suggestion about drop-downs, but quite a hefty job to implement; I might put that on my list for a longer-term project...

But, just to flag - and you may know this already - you can see what's new in several ways:

1) Click on "RECENT TOPICS" at the top - or https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?action=recenttopics

2) Use the "POSTS" dropdown option at the top and select either "Unread Replies" for an amalgamated list of all the new replies in threads in which you have participated (indicating which board), or "Unread Posts", which is a list of ALL the new posts made in any board, forum-wide, that you've not reviewed yet.

Hopefully that's helpful.

Ahh, now I know what you mean; I'd not realised that feature was not working. I'll track down the offending mod...

A quick "bug-fix" update - I discovered that that attachments directory was now allowing the forum to upload new attachments, such as images etc.

This has now been fixed, so you can safely upload attachments to your posts again.

Sorry about that; it was an oversight following the recent rebuild.

That is massivley helpfu, maybe im computer useless thats all.

Another suggestion, or hopeful ask maybe

If in a thread lots of people post arguments and quote each other repeatedly  a thread can get a bit diluted and cumbesome see this one i started

https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=71332.100

Half the posts and 3/4 of the content is just junk, is there any way to mark posts as inconsequential or irrelevant, perhaps a sub thread that collapses ?

Good work and much apreciation again chris
