Some very good ideas here. Also, please let me concur that you have done a fantastic job Al. Very very much appreciated.VTRDark wrote: ↑Mon Aug 07, 2017 6:49 pm Oh the fun and games of the cascadePain in the butt to chase down and sort out little things like that. Oh well it can't be helped, there is no such thing as 100% perfect in this industry especially when things are updated and there is a mix of old and new. It may fix itself in the next update.
I tell you what Al...you've done well mate. When you think back to what this forum was like a few years back. The header image was a mess, we now have that looking perfect, we're https, video plays in html5 and none of that having to delete bits of the youtube url to get it to work. A much cleaner interface with a few nice additions to the toolbar and a more harmonising colour scheme all round not to mention the security updates gone on in the background
The only thing missing IMO is to make use of usergroup permissions. I think the sales and wants should be blocked out of site to new users until they reach the 50. This would stop new users seeing things and then posting willy nilly rubbish to get to 50 posts along with the the why cant I post in sales and wants threads along with attempts to purchase something by dropping hints as well as the general public seeing the stuff posted in the eBay thread. It would also be nice to have an area for users over a certain post count, for example say 500 where one can speak more freely without worry of guest users (general public) seeing the posts. This would be especially helpful when it comes to organising workshop days and folk can post directions or even speak freely about routes and times for planned ride out's without fear of some outside group spying on the forum and then turning up at the destination. Just an idea
One silly quirk I get is that I get email notifications of updates and new post etc. The links in these email are sometimes https and sometimes just http. Is there any way to force them to be just https?
