Title: Forum upgrade (Finally!)
Post by: Ryan on April 13, 2024, 12:34:12 PM
The forum hadn't been updated in some time, so it was time to get updated! You'll notice it looks slightly different, but it also operates better on mobile. If you notice any issues post them below. Otherwise, as always I appreciate everyone's support of using our Rad links before you buy (even if it is just an accessory).

We've got a bunch of new Rad content coming on the channel: https://www.youtube.com/ebikeescape

Uh-oh. Photos in old posts return a "file not found" message.
For example - https://www.radowners.com/index.php/topic,9719.msg24710.html#msg24710

Also getting this red fault message in the editor, even if there aren't supposed to be any attachments (like in this post).
QuoteThe message has the following error or errors that must be corrected before continuing:
There was a problem and your attachments could not be uploaded
The attachments directory can not be located. Please notify an administrator of this problem.

On the other hand, we can now give temperatures because the degrees º symbol works. Yay!

Now it's pretending that my last post is "Rad's New Lineup Is Here".
If I try to delete it, my actual last post gets deleted.
Also, if I click at the "quote" button on the "Rad's New Lineup Is Here" post, then the quote is from my actual previous post. Rather disorienting.

Tapatalk cannot find the forum anymore. Can you please make this work as usual again? That's my and many others' preferred way to read forums, not in a web browser.

A quick Google implies the problem is with Tapatalk not Simple Machines.

My avatar disappeared, but it seems that all you have to do is resize it for a maximum of 65x65 pixels.

I thought I might be able to fix the missing uploaded photos by uploading them again, but I still get this same error message:
QuoteThe message has the following error or errors that must be corrected before continuing:
There was a problem and your attachments could not be uploaded
The attachments directory can not be located. Please notify an administrator of this problem.

:o Oddly enough, the editor gave me the same error message for this post, which had no attachments.

QuoteAh-ha!
Merely formatting text as a quote will also trigger the unlocated "attachments directory" error message.

We believe the attachments are all working now. Let me know if you continue to have issues.

A quick Google implies the problem is with Tapatalk not Simple Machines.
A quick sharing of information rather than assumptions and a reply with attitude would have helped make this a friendlier conversation.
It worked until recently pretty well for me and conincided with changes to the forum. I am all ears for solutions though, if you have one, be my guest.

Poor choice of words on my part. I just meant that when I did a quick Google. It implied that the problem was with the Tapatalk app and not in the forum part. My bad if I sounded rude, it wasn't my intention.

I appreciate your response. TT is a great app but the support behind it is questionable and often fails, but in this case this might not be on them.

Tapatalk is on the list still to fix. I like that it makes the forum super easy for mobile but on the downside, we can't show ads which means there is less chance of direct support from users that use Tapatalk.

I just noticed that the automatically-added "Rad's New Lineup Is Here" final post is gone now.
Not that I'm complaining.

Can someone show me how to hide or disable the mail icon. I cannot seemed to find where to disable it.
