TST's New IPS Forum - Post Your Bugs, Etc.

They're gone. We have them in the database backup but have no plans to re-create them any time soon. This was announced before.

Look for the 4.1 updates.

We were done with Huddler and they were done with us.

Sounds like something went really sour. Never heard of Huddler but I guess that's the company that runs the software. Who does it now? 

 

Came here to post about how the search function was driving me mad. Even when you click "show topics only" it still just gives me a bunch of random posts with a keyword or two. Totally forgot about the Google trick. Thanks for the reminder.

Yeah it's hard to beat Google's search. I guess that's why a lot of sites just give in (like the company I work for) and just build in a custom Google search on their page. As opposed to having their own search function. Maybe thesandrap should do that.

Folks,

You need to clean up your profile page and also check your private messages. Your inbox may be full. To delete a PM conversation, you need to select "Leave Conversation".

Once you leave a conversation to delete the PM, if the other party responds to the conversation, does it open it back up on your side and add you back to the conversation? Or do they need to create a new pm for you to receive a response?

Not sure.

They cannot respond, I don't think, unless they just add someone else to the conversation. They can't add the original person back. They can of course start a new conversation with the person.

Looks like there is a limit on my profile picture upload of .5MB

is this somethings that can be changed so that I can upload a picture from my iPhone?

It's the same for any picture within a post. I had to go through imgur to post pictures for my Adidas jacket review because my Galaxy S6 takes photos at a resolution high enough for them to be ~ 3-4 mb each in a JPEG format.

Can be? Yes.

Will be any time soon? Probably not.

Edit your photo to not be so large.

Yeah, I had to jump through a bunch of hoops myself with posting the golf bag review photos and re sending them from my phone at lower resolution once I bumped up against the limit. Really should only come up with photo heavy posts like reviews. Maybe those will have a dedicated place in the future like the old site and with a different limit. It's a problem that's fairly limited in scope, I imagine.

Just make the pictures smaller. We don't need to post 10-25 MP images when they're going to be viewed on a web page or a mobile phone.

That still requires me to download a 3rd party editing software to change my photo before I can insert it. At that point going through imgur and linking the photos with a web address is easier than trying to compress each and every photo until it fits. While I agree those pictures aren't required on a regular basis, they would be nice to have with the reviews, especially for people with high resolution displays (my phone is a 2k display, many monitors are now 2k and 4k), to more accurately depict the product being reviewed.

4k is only 4096 x 2160, and at common viewing distances is unnecessarily large even though it's less than 10 MP.

We can re-investigate the sizing limits later, but for now, I'm comfortable with where they are.

And I get that more and more is being done on mobile devices where it's not as easy to edit a photo. Like I said, we'll investigate it later. For now, we have much larger fish to fry.

If you use Windows, just "open the photo with Microsoft Office". Then click "Edit Pictures". On the right margin you will see, "compress pictures". Web page choice will compress it to the right size for the forum.

Just curious, I'm not receiving emails on content I selected.

In the setting, it is showing "admin has the function disabled"

Thanks, Club Rat

Just looked at your notification settings, looks fine to me.

Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 attempts to load a video. I copied the URL from the Centered Hip Turn thread and it took 3 tries for it to embed. Could it be a firewall issue with my work system?

This happens to me too. Tried http instead of https and youtu.be, no difference. Also w/Instagram.

I don't know if it is just temporary glitch, but my last two replies have taken something like 2 minutes to refresh and post after I submit them.

Edit:  This reply took almost exactly 2 minutes - I timed it.

If it doesn't work right away I'll paste the URL into the location bar of the browser and let the site redirect to the new URL.

Then copy and paste that in to the text.
