When is former site coming back and why is this?

[Rallyper]

I´ll give the moderators or whoever to explain this situation which have come up on the site. Only a few members seems to have found this site which I believe is an older version or what?

[Rallyper]

For example Pickems Australia has slept in by 44 members only done pickems...

[Hartusvuori]

They had a message in FB that forum was comprehensively hacked yesterday. I don't know if this is permanent solution or what.

[Rallyper]

OK, I´m not having FB. This solution seems a bit old to me.

I noticed during the weekend that the former site changed its MMI, before it went out. I thought it was my own settings that had changed, because of many chilldren was visiting us....

Wouldn´t it be good spreading this site on FB? (Those who have FB, that is)

Read this: viewtopic.php?f=93&t=159794 (http://94.23.4.31/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=159794)

[Rallyper]

OK, did read and found out what´s the problem. However finding this forum wasn´t spot on directly. Searching for the old forum didn´t redirect me to this one. Maybe it´s not technical possible. I do believe many rallying fans out there finding themselves alone in the rallying universe without our beloved motorsportforums...

[makinen_fan]

at least for me it redirected here that's how I found it

[Mintexmemory]

Keep looking for updates and we have temporary Pickems patch up

[Mark]

Basically someone was out to screw me/us over and they succeeded ;)

[noel157]

This is an old version? I thought it was a forum upgrade ......no wonder I can't do my pickems.......

No it's not an old version. It's many years newer than what we had but it's phpbb instead of vbulletin.

Would it be possible in the future to see again the list of active topics under rallying subforum like it used to be in the past?

[Leon]

also the previous and next thread of the one we are viewing at the end of the page

[makinen_fan]

Also the Like button was something nice to have.

Thanks. It's appreciated. :)

[tfp]

We could always go back to the old way before we had the "like" button, +1!

Good luck in getting things sorted mark!

[Rallyper]

Good work, Mark. But please if it´s technically possible - let´s have the like button back.

[A FONDO]

The Like button saves many many posts of the type "I agree with you" , "thank you for sharing this", quote +1, etcetra

btw good job with the data import, my old ignore list is still working flawless :bounce:

[Barreis]

Without like button is better... :colour:

[Formaldehyde]

Is it possible to access this new forum platform on mobile? I used the "ForumRunner" app to read the old forum (don't remember how exactly I stumbled upon it), but it's not working anymore with the phpBB platform. Has anyone managed to access this forum on a mobile device?

Is there any possibility that the new lay-out will come back? I appreciate that you do all effort to get it online, and to keep it online, but it would be great if the forum would be more user-friendly again. :) Somehow the previous version was easier to read and navigate through IMO.

Forum Runner access is on my list. However you can use Tapatalk in the meantime.

Personally I find the complete opposite. This layout is cleaner just my opinion of course.

I think it's more down to the habits and what you expect to see. For example, when the initial switch to phpBB happened I got confused, couldn't recognize the forum at first.

?ark imho the only better thing at this layout is that it is very fast.

[Mirek]

Yes, it's really very fast. On the other hand I miss the option to display active topics in the section and the option to display video in the post. The like button was good to save many useless posts such as +1 or agree as was already pointed out.

[makinen_fan]

Also the ability to include large images was good. Mark is there scope to bring some of these features back or is it inherent limitations of phpBB?

+1 i tried to post plenty of fantastic photos,but couldnt at this layout.Images too big. :(

[Mark]

That was something I chose. If you want bigger then suggest a sensible maximum keeping in mind the style we have is a fixed width.

This car and this livery!

sorry wrong place!

[makinen_fan]

Some other forums use automatic image resize to a certain width that the admin chooses to be the best for the layout. For the forum here seems to not be wide enough to accommodate decently sized images (approx 1200px +).
By doing a quick search I came up with something like this:
https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/ ... e_resizer/ (https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/reimg_image_resizer/)

Will it possible to implement something along these lines?

[Mark]

I'm not able to look at it at this exact moment but I'll look at the mod later in the week. Cheers.

[Gregor-y]

I really agree with this. I could see restricting the size if the images were being hosted by the forum, but otherwise a display size with a 'view full size' option would be great.
