So I attached an image to a forum post and posted it. I then noticed that my post had no image (not a broken image icon, no attachment at all.) When I go to edit the note, I can see an attachment though (although I'm unclear if this is showing what is really there or not, since if you start replying to a post, then abandon it, that text remains there, unposted but still visible to you days later if you visit that forum, perhaps that image I'm seeing when editing a post is something similar.).
I attached it again, at which point the second attachment AND the first attachment showed up.
...whenever I attempt to attach a pic to a post, all I get is the "Uploading..." status indication which stays there forever.
Yea, image uploading is still buggy! I'd still like a way to upload an inline photo instead of that work around, that's just too annoying. I can't be bothered. I think Hivewire is using similar forum software, I see similarities in how each is set up and the controls so if so there must be a "Like" option button they can turn on here! I'd love that! Esp one that would appear under each photo or photo thumbnail. It would give each uploader an idea of how many folks like their renders or photos! I know,,, stupid idea but I like it!
You could post renders in the Gallery.
Naw, I don't nice enough renders to put them up in a gallery. I barely do many at all actually these days... just work on my skills as a modeler and texture artist mostly!
...interesting as Tjohn attached a pic about an hour or so ago and it worked fine. I tried once more and still got the perpetual "Uploading..."
I have not changed my browser Nor made any changes to it's settings or permissions. The file is a .jpg 800 x 800 and 410 KB in size so I have no idea why this is happening.
I just noticed when going to page 2 of the Commons, some of the "stickied" threads that are normally always at the top of page 1 were also in the middle of the page on page 2 as well (see screenshot, look for blue line on left side of threads.)
That becaue new posts are always shown by time. The reason you see some permanently at the top of New posts is because they have been marked to show always in new posts, regardless of whether there are nay new posts or not.
saw this message again
...I occasionally get a similar message in FF with some sites I frequent. Never had that happen here.
Is there a way to get rid of the long number attached to my username?
Yes, go here and change it. https://www.daz3d.com/customer/account/edit/ However Darkangel is quite a popular name, so you will have to add something to it, some how. This is why you have the number string added, to make it a unique name,
or even make it 2 words.
There are more than 612 DarkAngels in here?
We're doomed!
(Actually the username part is darkangel612, so - there is another darkangel612 in here?)

When you visit a thread that you have subscribed to and have already read some of, is it supposed to put you at the first new post you haven't read? I've been noticing lately that it often takes me to a spot several posts earlier than that, so I have to scroll down past ones I've already seen to try to find the new one. It isn't just the top of the last page or anything, it's right in the middle of posts I've seen before.
One of the features I actually liked was the ability to specify a link for inline images, other than the url of the image itself. When you click on the little image icon in the editor menu, the popup has two tabs. The first is for the image itself and the second is for the link, with an option to set the target window. I've been uploading my images to my gallery, then using the gallery page image for my posts, with a link back to the gallery page. The gallery image is the perfect width for the forum, and with a link back to the gallery, anyone interested in seeing the larger image could just click on the image and my gallery page would open in a new window, (my target setting of choice.)
It isn't working now. When the page first loads, if you're quick, you can click on the image and the gallery page opens. But shortly after the page loads, the link reverts to the image url instead. I assume this is intentional, but I don't like it.
If linking to other sites is an issue, why not hardcode in the base url of the galleries so we only have to enter the ID number. That keeps the links internal to the DAZ3d site. Or, if people would like to link to other DAZ3d pages, hardcode in the site url, and we can enter the rest of the address... for example, for a gallery image, we could add "gallery/images/nnnnn/". Or we could add forums/discussion/comment/nnnnn/#Comment_nnnnn to link to a specific forum post. (Where nnnnn is the ID number of the gallery page or forum post.) And so on.
When posting to a thread, just above the comment edit box (i.e. Leave A Comment) there's a Styles drop down (with Italic Title, Subtitle, Special Container, etc).
This Styles drop-down includes a Computer Code option.
Here's a piece of DAZ Script cut-and-pasted from Notepad (the MS one, nothing special):
DsActions.prototype.setGroundMaterialProperties = function( oMaterial, oShape )
{
this.m_oElement = oMaterial;
this.m_sMaterialType = "DzBrickMaterial";
this.m_sMaterialName = "Preview";
I want to use a monospace font on it (as I do whenever I post code) so I thought I could simply apply the Computer Code style to it - I'm an eternal optimist... :
DsActions.prototype.setGroundMaterialProperties = function( oMaterial, oShape )<br /> {<br /> this.m_oElement = oMaterial;<br /> this.m_sMaterialType = "DzBrickMaterial";<br /> this.m_sMaterialName = "Preview";(btw - when I'm editing the post it looks as it should do, i.e. just the text in a monospace font, not the HTML source which it isn't!)
Styles are supposed to help, not hinder.
Please fix.

Saw the following inserted into another thread as an edit in red:
"If you do a double carriage return after the quote, it will separate you from the quote and it won't become part of it. ~Mod"
This explains why I've seen comments merged with quotes (including happening to me) even though it does not appear that way in the "Leave a Comment" edit box. Not sure who inserted this edit, but thought it might be worth mentioning here.
The quote system is unnecessarily complicated, and needs to generate posts that match what is displayed in the "Leave a Comment" edit box when "Post Comment" is clicked.

I think that little snippet sums up a lot of what is still wrong with the post editor.
Back to those little orangey-yellow five pointed stars to the right of the thread title - the ones that indicate 'bookmarked' / 'subscribed to this thread' - e.g. I'm subscribed to this one....
Foolish me - I thought I understood!
I thought that if I started a thread on this new forum it would automatically be bookmarked/subscribed. After all, if I start a thread there's a rather high probability that I'll be interested in any responses.
So why do I have to manually bookmark/subscribe to a thread that I've just created?
I get notice that people have posted to the threads I have started, without having to have it actually bookmarked
Did you make sure that emails were set in your notification preferences.
Edit2: (to clarify, after fixmypcmike's comment below) That was the problem - the 'email' checkbox for 'my discussions' (i.e. all the threads I've started in the new forum) wasn't checked.
Hmmm...under DAZ3D Forums > Profile > Notifications I see the notifications from bookmarked threads I didn't start, and from unbookmarked threads I did start. I'm only getting email notifications for bookmarked threads though. And I can't see any option to set emails under notification preferences (no obvious 'set notification preferences link' from the notifications page)
Edit (re-edited): Found it (the option to set notification preferences)! DAZ3D Forums > Profile > Notifications > Edit Profile > Notification Preferences ... seems a bit odd to me (why isn't 'Notification Preferences' an option directly from the 'Notifications' page, which is what I would have expected). But at least it's there, it works, and I now know where to find it (although I'll probably forget)
I'm confused -- are you saying you have emails cheked for threads you've started, but you aren't getting them?
The full-sized versions of in-line images no longer popup unless I'm logged in. Is that going to be a permanent feature - I mean, anti-feature?
This is how it used to be on the Forum prior to the forum which this one has replaced. Non members and non logged in members could browse the forums but not post nor see images.
That's also pretty typical for most of the forums I've been a member or associated with.
Sorry, my original edit to that post wasn't clear. I've re-edited and it should be clearer. I didn't have the email option checked, and couldn't find where to set it. But chohole set me straight.
Still no sign of the old style sequential post numbers (#1, #2, #3, etc) coming back ?
And old links from old forum threads to specific posts on old forum threads still don't work. :(
I now seem to get clickable links for all my notifications now, so many thanks to whoever fixed that.
Getting logged off every time you open the forums hasn't been fixed though!
CHEERS!
...two of the bugs from the old forum seem to be haunting the new one
#1 Just this morning I logged into the store (as I usually do) which also logs me into the forums. Not this time however. So after seeing I wasn't, I logged into the forum s from that page which of course takes me to the account landing page instead of back to the thread (like the previous software annoyingly did). I close the tab teh post is on, go back to the email, click on the link. only to find I'm logged out again. Had to shut down FF, restart and log back into the store again (making sure it did take me to the account landing page as when it doesn't, I find the login has failed).
At least I thought this issue was finally solved.
#2 Once again I find I am receiving no email notifications for threads I am supposedly subscribed to even though I am active on them, It is particularly frustrating in light of the fact sometimes I get a notification for a thread that hasn't seen activity for months (or longer).
...and as I mentioned on another thread, please enable browser spell checkers as misspellings are getting saved into the main dictionary and apparently nobody, not us, or Daz development can go in and delete them because it's an external service. It's a real pain for those who are dyslexic. and I often find myself having to go back in and reedit posts, sometimes several times, to fix these errors that do not get flagged.
