    dbf, thanks for that. 1 MB is that all? I think that's going to be a very big problem. I do hope it gets made a lot higher. What happened to 10?

    Stu.

    Gallery:
    Think people will probably have to re-shuffle their own pics back into albums as per post 60:
    Xenforo - New Forum Software & Server
    (Though, obviously, I'll help if I can make sense of what should be where.)
    Special care was taken to preserve pics, and it doesn't look like any were losts, but their album place has gone skewiff.

    No Album link on some profiles:
    Yeah... that's puzzling me too.
    Will find the button soon.

    Margins:
    Yep, I've been musing on that.
    'Style' settings really nice to use so I'll have a bash at that some time soon.
    Current setup is 'Splash some emulsion about and hope they won't notice the damp patches'. Much tuning to be done.
    (And I really want some khaki somewhere... Khaki margins might be nice.)

    Upload limit:
    1 mb is generous, Stuart!
    Previous limits had got out of hand as I had allowed things through after special pleading.
    Gotta get leaner, as it saves stress on the server (and money) and it's not hard to get images down to small file size without losing much quality.
    A tutorial on ways of doing this will be sorted. We will be a little harsher on that score from now on, I'm afraid.

    There you go, Rich, bit of a margin for you.
    At least I now know where the settings are.

    Looks good, well done all those involved. Might take me a little time to get used to the new format

    Adam, on the Upload limit: Look forward to the tutorial. In time, I would really appreciate that. Money needs to be saved, & also stress on the server. With regards pleading, about 3mb? Surely that cant be has bad on the server.. We are not talking about 10 (your call). A few shades of Khaki would be smart.. To much brilliant white for me eyes.

    Thank-you to yourself & the team for the changes.
    Regards,
    Stu.

    Core smileys sorted.
    Will do flags etc. once I've recalled what the hell text they were created by before.

    I quite like the new format although I have had to do a bit of exploring. Thanks for all the hard work.
    One request - with the flags any chance of the South African flag?

    Can I suggest that the default font for posts be something like Arial as in the old software. This would match the rest of the new site and this/current font, to me at least, looks old fashioned.

    You read my mind.
    Was trying to find default font settings this very second.

    Great minds think alike or, as can be said in Yorkshire, fools seldom differ.

    South African flag is in the smiley face section along with loads of other flags. You need to scroll way over to the right of the emoticons section.

    Edit: I tried to add the SA flag here but, for some reason, it didn't appear in the saved edit. Curious.

    I had a program to automatically reduce the size of my RAAF photos for here however it disappeared when I got my new computer.

    It was a simple right click option. Eg: 7mg would drop to 450kb.

    Facebook does it automatically.

    Anyone?

    Cheers

    Adam, With the 1mg, is that per photo or per post?

    If I put up Headstones for a crew, even minimised, they would exceed that limit.

    Cheers

    Per item, mate. Per image.
    Though a little bird tells me we might be able to be a tad more generous, which somewhat undermines my previous comment.
    Details to be discussed with those who watch the server.

    (Well, I bloody hope per item. Nervous now. Will double check later.)

    Feedback:
    Saw your advice re dealing with Gallery images on a "Personal" level and was/Is quite happy to give it a try
    BUT
    When I try to open up, your suggested "MOVE MEDIA" it is just not one of my offered options which are:
    DELETE
    EDIT
    CHANGE PRIVACY
    De-SELECT
    CLOSE THIS OVERLAY

    Back to you Sir !

    Ron

    ps
    Have just uploaded a new image into my Gallery with no problem at all and it displays OK without having to click on the 3 dots (as with the "old" galeries

    Glory Halleluja !

    When I now click on:
    Media
    Your Media
    I now, for the first time on the new forum, see my own Gallery !
    Note: when I use "Your ALBUMS " instead, it reverts to the dreaded 3 circles

    With many thanks to the bosses and all others who ofered help
