Previously uploaded photos that used to show up as an actual picture now only show up as text. Can this be fixed? Also when uploading new photos the photo just shows up as a clickable attachment.. Also the "quick reply" is not active. Also all the emojis are gone.


Hopefully these issues can be corrected..




EDIT: I figured this one out... Its in userCP under Settings and Options and clicking Edit Options and then selecting options in the Thread Display Options..

[cook_dw]

Test.

[cook_dw]

Something else is the clickable tab to pm someone.. I can see my pm's that are already been sent previously but I can not send a new one.. Or at least it isnt blatantly obvious at this point..

EDIT: Ok this too is in the userCP under the edit options...




Also there are some folks that can not login anymore due to password errors..

Feels like we've all entered SYC Bizzaroworld?
My PM's have been modified and replies back/forth w/ someone changed into separate messages so I now have over 1000 PM's!
Lots has changed but hopefully the important issues can be fixed also that we haven't lost info or ability to search and find it again.
It all makes a fella feel old too as I'm listed as a Senior now also have no friends?

Edited my first post..

[Xplantdad]

I am sure that things will be adjusted...but I only have 5 PM's and I used to have a lot more :)

Looking forward to see what all changed :)

[Jonesy]

Before when I logged on, I could go to a thread and it would go to the page of the last post I looked at in that thread. Now it just goes to the beginning of like a 40 page thread. Im sure there are alot of bugs and getting used to.

I had to do a password reset-.but the site is now modern....Let the games begin!!

Team Chevelle changed over awhile back and became a one stop advertising experience. However, they have a "default" setting that takes you back to the original style.

I notice they have it here now as well. Lower left corner of screen you get a choice of Yenko Theme or Default style. The default is more similar to the old style here.

Thanks Woj.....the default forum is way better!

Note: check your Private messages. Looks like the default for non members is 50, I had to clean mine out.

Anyone figured out how to display threads in descending order and not ascending? Im not talking about inside of a thread but inside the sub forums where it lists the threads themselves..

I prefer the default.

[camcojb]

The issues will be fixed ASAP. It's all in the settings, Vbulletin is set at their default setting for the conversion, now we just need to go through and tweak them.

[camcojb]

Changing pm's now. How many did you guys have allowed before?

[camcojb]

The banning issue should be fixed now.

[Supergas990]

Thanks for pointing the way to the "default setting". The other style is more challenging to get used to (perhaps I'm not current enough with tech).

Kind of missing the old format and layout.

[cook_dw]

Quick Reply at the bottom of threads is still not working and how to you set the sub forum threads to permanently show the newest in descending order.?. I can change it at the bottom of the sub forums but as soon as I go back out to the main forum and back into the same sub forum its back to ascending.. Its not like that for every sub forum though.. Just select ones..


IIRC the max pms for paying members is 200.. Someone please verify that please.

[camcojb]

Quick reply works, but it's not automatically set. You have to click the "quick reply" button first, the box on the far right. I'll get that fixed.

[cook_dw]

Ok got that.. Although seems cumbersome to add another step.. Can we make it automatic?

[m22mike]

Quick reply works now.

Is there any way to get the view to be the orginal one prior to this upgrade? Other websites have several view option available but this one only has two choices "default" and "yenko theme".

Still no photos showing, just text.

Is there a way to change all the subforums to descending and time set to "beginning" and stay that way?. I have to reset every forum every time I re-enter it. The moment you leave, it defaults back to ascending and "last month".

Funny say's my last login in was 1-1-1970 at 12:00 a.m.

[JEFF GHILANI]

Is it too late to get this site entirely back the way it was? The previous artwork and functionality was perfect, classic and simple. We're a bunch of guys that collect old cars. We like what we like. Why screw up something that is classic? At least have a "classic" theme option at the bottom of the page for those of us that want it. That's just a matter of optional formatting code. I hate when perfection is tampered with. Just my opinion.

No way to go back. Vbulletin has a lot more options than the old system, which will be good for the site as a whole. It'll take a bit to get these things sorted out, but this can be tweaked to make most everyone happy.

[JEFF GHILANI]

Ah, so it's a software update and we're using the new version? Got it. Too bad.

[parkbrau]

Disregard my message I sent to the Admin regarding my log in. I'm in.

Also loved the setting that states my last log in was 1970. That's before Gore invented the internet.

The only thing constant in life is change.

Not a software update, a software swap. UBB to Vbulletin.

Same here. Change to descending, but once I leave the site, it reverts back to default ASCENDING and "last month" even though I change to "beginning"

[cook_dw]

Thanks Jody.. Looks like that the ascending and descending is fixed!! Almost back to normal. Well sorta..

[CC Rider]

There is no "button" up top to click for the forums list. Not sure if it is gone permanently.

Sig pics appear gone. I made the three preference changes.

Thanks! :)

What is up with the private messages archive. What used to be a continious conversation is now a seperate message for every single response that has me at 900 messages of the 250 limit.

Are you going to re-compile them?

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

I have been through a few major IT system changes at work and have never seen a surprise upgrade..... I am pretty sure this is a better way to go, rip the bandaid off:-)

I love the old sYc but will get used to "sYc2.0" same great people, same great content, just more technologically advanced.

I see there is support already working on the transitional issues (Welcome and thx)

I like the "Team Chevelle" default it seems to work better than the Yenko skin....

I think the best thing to do is to ask the silly questions and get the screens set up to our liking. I am having a hard time finding the best main screeen showing the latest stuff that I haven't read.....

[Hawkeye]

Thank goodness this site is back. I was very productive at work on Thursday. My boss now expects more of me.
My wife and I had a complete conversation and we made it through dinner without check Yenko.net. She also thinks I did something wrong since I gave her all my attention.
Thanks for keeping this site going. We will all get through the initial bugs together.
I only wish Charley would have provided me another site to occupy my time while this one got upgraded.

Thanks to all who are putting in all the time, effort and money to keep this ride going!

[VintageMusclecar]

Yeah, it's pretty clunky and there's a bunch of bugs to work out--but I'm diggin' the upgrade.

I'm sure it'll be hitting on all 8 in no time.

Props to Charley and Jody.

[Xplantdad]

Thank you for all of the hard work, Jody!

[NorCam]

I'm diggin the changes so far. Just went in to change my viewing preferences and found they were all set to default, so I set them up as I wanted them and all the images, signatures and thread layouts are now the way I was used to seeing them. For those who don't know, here are the steps to review and where you can find the boxes to setup your view and messaging preferences.

Go to:

1: User CP
2: Settings & Options
3: Edit Options (select boxes you like in here)
4: Save Changes & you're done!

Can someone assist me with getting logged back in under my old username? Since the site here changed I got locked out and attempted to re set my username/password but the site would not send me a new password under my original registered email. I had to re register as a new member but would like to get logged back in under my old username...

Thanks Rich

[mockingbird812]

So the new look is pretty interesting and I WILL figure it all out. Couple of questions:

1. Why is my avatar (and many others) so huge? Will this be corrected eventually or do I need to do something?
2. My signature photo only shows my link to my photobucket account. How do I make the photo show on its own?

Thanks Jody!

[NorCam]

Sam,

I'm assuming the old forum settings resized any Avatar pictures to the maximum display size allowed and that a lot of people had larger file sizes in the pictures they had previously linked. Because the forum settings restricted the display size, I am sure they only appeared as small sizes in the user name display area because the software restricted the actual display size. It now looks like the forum software does not automatically resize the users linked image therefore it is cropping those with larger images to the maximum display window on the left sidebar.

I assume the restriction of size will be reinstated soon, and in the meantime you can resize your Avatar image to 150 pixels or less for it to display correctly. Perhaps try that and re-link it in your Avatar settings and it will display correctly. I made mine small and it's working good. The signature image redirect is another bug that will need to be sorted out and I'm sure it's on the list of things being looked at. My signature image appears as a link as well and the editing box in settings does not have an option for adding an image for signatures. I have tried pasting every redirect link possible from photobucket and all appear as a link only. An option needs to be added to the edit fields to add an image to the signature setup.

Great job on the conversion so far Jody. One thing I'd request, duplicate that forum jump box at the bottom right of the screen and add one to the top navigation bar so users do not need to scroll to the bottom to reset the page or jump to another section of the forums. The old site had hot links along the top of the page so if you were reading a thread in one particular section, you could go top of the page and jump to another section without having to back out of the pages?

I think the old hot link button was called "FORUMS" and clicking it took you to the home page displaying all sections. It was linked to this index page (http://www.yenko.net/forum/index.php) but didn't open it as a new page, it just returned you to index as home and had that link left on the top navigation bar? :)

Yep, that's what I meant. I found out that by clicking on the Yenko.net logo at the top left, it did the same thing and redirected my view to the whole forum list.

That worked. It seems I was having problems with refreshing after I made a change, because I tried it before and it didn't work.

Yes, we did change the settings to show signatures, avatars, pm's as many couldn't find them. Sorry about that, but as you did they can be manually shut off in your user cp options.

Probably a simple answer, when i used to log on I could go to posts? or new posts and there would be about 20 pages or so with numerous posts in chronological order. Now I get a few posts 5 now 3 before with numerous posts inside those. How can I see all the posts in chronological order. I have reset my preferences and have the chronological order......

Jody - if by "is this the corrrect pic?" you are referring to my current avatar of the "Canfield fair", yes that is the avatar that I reduced in size just recently.

I was talking about the sig pic. I changed the avatar limits and found your pic on Google, and swapped it with your cropped one. Should show the entire picture now.

[BTL]

yes...however there used to be about 10 ...and you could go back page after page in chronological progression

[camcojb]

yes...however there used to be about 10 ...and you could go back page after page in chronological progression

The way it works (at least on VBulletin) is clicking "new posts" gives you all the threads that have a new post in them since you last logged in. There could be 50 or more, and there could be none, depending on site traffic and how long it's been since you last logged in.

[mockingbird812]

Jody - thanks for correcting my cropped avatar. My sig photo shows too! Thanks - I will attempt to increase its size a bit in my settings or resize it in photobucket.

Edit: I resized my sig photo but looks like this is about as big as I can make it. New limits are 100x500 pixels or 9.8 KB per signature editing notes. Can everyone tell what kind of car is in my sig?!!!! :>))

If you're on the Yenkotheme style (there's a box at the lower left of the page just above "contact us" to change the theme), you will see a button for "todays posts". Click that, maybe that's what you're looking for.

We are going to add that to the default theme as well.

[BTL]

I see where you are saying to change the theme...I don't see any button about "todays posts"...I am looking for recent posts in chronological order well past today...having nothing to do with what i have visited...sorry about this..it is probably just me....

Yes and no Sam ....... needs to be way bigger............... is there anything that can be done guys.............I am willing to donate for more space if that will help? I think we would all gladly share the cost to have the site work like the old one............ if that is possible. What I loved about this site is that we could load big pictures and it was so easy :)

[camcojb]

I bumped the sig pic sizes, but you'll probably have to re-load the pics to take advantage of the larger size. When Charley gets back I'll get him to help out with the size limits he wants.

I bumped the sig pic sizes, but you'll probably have to re-load the pics to take advantage of the larger size. When Charley gets back I'll get him to help out with the size limits he wants.

Awesome............ thank you :)

Why is my avatar so huge. Some are normal size and some aren't??

Okay I figured it out. I have to save my huge avatar pic, then re-download it and it came back as normal size.

You use the entire Youtube address between the Youtube quotes. In this case the address to copy/paste is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR1kVnPcxec Your address looks correct to me. How was it set up before, did you use the entire youtube address or just the id number (PR1kVnPcxec)?

You can do that now with the manage attachments button below when you are making a post. Click that button and choose the pic you want on your computer, hit upload, and it's done. I have it set now to show the pic instead of a thumbnail you have to click.

Every Vbulletin board I'm on (at least a dozen) has pm's individually. For now I bumped the limits, but I think to change it to individual conversations will require custom coding. I'm sure it's doable, but I need to get an estimate of cost and time.

Jody - thanks for correcting my cropped avatar. My sig photo shows too! Thanks - I will attempt to increase its size a bit in my settings or resize it in photobucket.

Thanks Jody - my issues are resolved. I appreciate your talent and patience. 2 months from now even us old dudes won't be able to remember the "old" sYc site and our brains will have been remapped or (in Star Trek parlance) we will have been assimilated by the Borg! ;>)

I tried that and changed a bunch of different options, but I could not figure out how to do it.

Yes, I've played with the different options too. It changes the way the threads are viewed, but it still doesn't take you to the newest post of the thread where I left off. The way it was you would click on a thread that, say I read yesterday, I click on the same thread the next day and it takes me to the the first new post at the point I left off the day before. It was like the old system held a cookie for everybody, that remembered where everybody left off on every thread at their particular point in time. I tried clicking the New Posts button and it shows me all the new posts for the whole site. Not what I was looking for. Linear goes one way or the other, no in between. Hybrid or Threaded doesn't achieve the desired results either.
Any ideas??

I switched the default setting to be "default" instead of the Yenkotheme that was built. Seems far more people prefer the default look. We're going to switch the colors and add the logo and vendor banners, but keep the default framework.

You can still view the Yenkotheme if preferred, just switch it in your user cp options, or at the bottom left of the forum page.

With the old system, you could upload a few then arrange their order by cutting/pasting or easier was just swapping the last digits of file names.

In the Default theme, a section will indicate that there is an unread thread. But when I view the topics, none are highlighted as unread. Doesn't happen all the time.
Not a problem in the Yenko theme.

One more thing about sections.
If I go into the Tech section and read the new posts and return to the index, refreshing the index does not change the status of the Tech section. It still shows unread topics, which isn't true.
This is a pain, because sometimes I can't remember which sections I've looked at, and the forum won't accurately tell me.

go to user CP
Edit Options
scroll down to the last section Miscellaneous Options
Message Editor Interface
Change this setting to "Enhanced Interface- Full WYSIWYG Editing"

You'll then have the screen you're looking for with all the Yenko icons from the old software

Forgive me if I've missed it, but I'm confused as to why only some people are noted as "Yenko Paid Member". I have contributed to the site every year and always used to have the 5 stars by my name, but now I am no longer considered a "Paid Member"?

The previous software does not handle user groups the same way that vbulletin does. I have been manually upgrading people as I come across them, and I just handled yours. The permanent solution is almost done and everyone who is a paid member will automatically show as a paid member.

Or when I go to "sent pm" function my pms are not showing up so I don't know if it was sent. I tried every way possible to send a pm to a buyer and could not. This forced me to put personal information to answer pm in my ad. Now I have to hope the buyer sees this because I cannot send him s pm to even read the ad

In user CP there is an edit options button. When you click on that down near the bottom is the private message options. The last box sets up all your sent messages into the sent folder. Make sure that is checked. If it's not you will not show any sent private messages.

Oddly, this glitch is only happening on my Iphone? When home on the laptop, there is no problem replying to a PM. Now, I would like to find out why that is? And, of course, fix it....Computers are hard on us old mechanics. We like things fixed:grin:

More on the pictures thing and how we used to be able to cut/paste previously uploaded pic files and repost them into PM's and other threads.
This was super easy and still works Ok w/ old pics but not those loaded into the new system which now requires reloading these same pics again each time?
Maybe it doesn't matter but besides being easier to manipulate, I always expected regurgitating pics instead of uploading again saved adding to total megabytes/band width/Charley's dime?
Thanks and not bitching, only trying to find new ways to deal w/ the changes.

Thank you Jody and Charley.....didn't want to sound like I was whining, just curious. Sorry you guys are having to go thru so much work to get everything 'in order'. I figured it had to have something to do with the switch to the new format.

OK, just sent an email to my "computer guy", I'll get back to this asap. Makes more sense that it's an Iphone issue, as I couldn't find any issues with normal pc computer browsers and pm's.

.We're going to add an attachment option to pm's, but we're still working on the old links repair. On the downhill side of that and want it finished first. Turned out to be a large project.

We have a lot of room on the server at this point. I am going to add the attachment option to pm's but it's another custom code deal, not a simple check a box in the admin panel.

Amen!!!

[camcojb]

All you paid members should be showing now. Hopefully by tomorrow we'll have the old links working. Finishing testing on adding the attachment pic option to pm's.

[bbbentley]

Not sure if anything was done regarding answering Pm's by phone, but I have been able now to reply to Pm's with my iPhone now. Maybe a glitch? Regardless, thanks for the tireless efforts being performed to make the usage of the site more enjoyable. I have seen daily strides in making the site user friendly.

Glad to hear that as we've been unable to duplicate the issue on our end.

Thanks for Tuning all this up for us Jody.

I have been trying to get used to this. The old site was real nice that I could click on a topic and it would go to the newest post. I have tried several things now including checking off all catagories and then used the new post button. I did that and it took me to the very first post of the topic. What do I have set wrong?

You're not set wrong, that's a default Vbulletin thing. If you click on a thread off of the main forum page it will take to to the newest reply. But if you're already in a section like supercar/musclecar discussion, clicking the same thread goes to the first post of the thread, unless you click on a different page number or last page.

Fortunately this is a relatively simple code fix to make the threads inside the individual forums act like the thread title on the main forum page. Hoping to have this changed today.

[Billohio]

Thanks Jody. I just realized if I was on the main page it did that. Good work!

I tried again to post multi pics at once but no luck as screenshots below.
They show mini size when pics chosen but pushing Upload button @ Lower Right kicks them out?
One only lives through the upload as attachment below but which one a mystery until you check or compare KB's?
Thanks Jody!

First thing I noticed with yours is it doesn't list the image names, just says one photo, three times. Are these photos named? And each has a different name?

Also, you're using the top upload button not the one below with the blank url box, right?

[PeteLeathersac]

No file names as it's pics from an iPad.
Yes on the upper Load button.
Thanks again Jody!

So no error message, no pics can't be resized, etc? What OS?

[PeteLeathersac]

'

No errors and as screenshots before/after upload button.
Would pics need resizing if they load Ok individually?
No idea of what OS, listed somewhere in Settings?

Are you using the default theme of this site?

[PeteLeathersac]

I was using the Yellow format Non-Default theme, does it matter which when posting?
Somehow it's landed back in the Blue Default mode also I don't see the lower left choice to change it back so will stick here and give pic posting another go.
Thanks again Jody!

It does matter because all the tweaks we're doing are to the default style, which seems to be the overwhelming favorite by the members here. I shut off the Yenkotheme option for now. My guess is it'll work for you now.

Just went to try posting multiple pics but the download to site box is gone?
If images can only be posted by host provider url addresses, these die out after time unlike site loaded pics which live on.
Am I missing something?

If you click manage attachments you don't get the box with ten buttons to upload pics? Is it possibly opening in another window?

[PeteLeathersac]

All I see now for adding pics is the box w/ the mountains which offers url additions only?
IMG code is On if that means anything?
Thanks Jody!

[camcojb]

Make sure you're in advanced, not quick reply. You can scroll down and see a manage attachments button that allows you to upload pics from your computer, phone, etc.

Gotcha and found it in the Advanced tab.
Heading over the the Old Gas Stations thread to give it a try.
Thanks again!

Do you know which OS your Ipad is?

[camcojb]

Tell you what, email me the pics, at least a few of them. Let me see what it does. It should set an error or something, unable to resize, photo too large, etc.

[RogerD]

I noticed that 10X pic upload via my iPhone yields just one upload.
Same 10X upload via my Win 7 laptop, ten pics upload as expected.

On another note, now all uploads are only visible in the post if I am signed in . . .
Working as designed?
