NWDC Updates Underway

Post by Tangfish »

Howdy Divers,

Just a friendly heads up that there are some upgrades happening on the back end of the board at this time. Please pardon any brief hiccups and feel free to PM or email me if you notice anything out of whack that persists.

Sorry Everyone, there were some nasty mishaps when the backend of the board was being updated. Hopefully it's under control now that some repairs were made. Please use the site as usual and post here about anything that's not working as it should. Thanks and sorry for the disruption!

Okay folks, most of the major back-end work is complete, and of course there is some tidying up to do in terms of minor bugs to squish. Please let me know if you see or experience anything about the board that is not working properly.

Thanks!

Phew, we made it!

Mostly refinements. The big changes are on how the data is stored and processed, but the site should work more efficiently and there should be some noticeable tweaks. It’s been a long time between updates fo sho.

Tangfish, youtube video embedding no longer works. Is there a fix?

Stephen, please give it a try again, it should work now. Highlight just the youtube video ID and then click the youtube button in the editor and it will insert the appropriate code. Let me know either way please. Hope it works for you!

Hi Calvin
We're still having difficulties uploading larger images. Seems to be limited to about 350k or thereabouts. But only sometimes??

Nirupam and I had the problem on this thread:

Weird. I did make a change to the settings to make default width 650px, back when we last discussed this. Any links to posts where it is being downsized to only 350 will be helpful to try to diagnose. Please post em here in this thread for testing purposes. Thanks and sorry for the headache.

Eric,

Could you and Jess please give a try posting some new photos and let me know what you think now? I think the image quality/size issue should be solved (hopefully).
