It definitely was and still is, we're not fully done yet.

So... DRAFTS are out!
They do... Precisely what you think they do, you can save them and post them later (within a week, they automatically delete after a week - this is not to clog our database), but you can save a draft of a personal message too. They also autosave every 30 seconds.

You will find your "Save Draft" button right alongside the preview and save ones. Feel free to go and experiment with them, ask away if you have doubts or problems!

I like this! Thank you Flavio!

excellent -- great job adjusting the transparency on the themes and colors. nice.

I know this is probably the last thing on the list -- but dark mode might be a little too dark IMO

Lots of revamping lately. Looks nice and is easy to use.

Just noticed the change in the state fishing reports. It appears they did away with State forums and the Chat blocks in them. I assume this was in effort to speed things back up.

It may just be a restart thing inside the thread but I am not sure. Maybe someone knows.

Also I am not sure how to add a picture when commenting on an existing thread? Help.

@Larry Francis I merged your thread with the big announcement one so we have everything in one place.

A big cleanup is currently going on under the hood, we're re-organizing the board to give more importance/visibility to stuff that is still active and putting much of the old/inactive stuff into the Archive board. That's FD and Capt. BassinLou's doing, I'm sure they have a better idea of what they want to do with the State forums, so far it seems like they want to split them into macro regions - Southeast, Northeast, Central and Western.

As for myself I'm the guy doing all the tech-related things, you will find plenty of informations in the first post of this thread

Regarding images it hasn't really changed, it only improved because it also features drag&drop now, which was not a thing in the previous version. Click reply and you'll have the big reply page - attachments won't work in the quick reply right underneath the threads (or it wouldn't be a quick reply

)

We have mentions, drafts, better attachments, notifications, lots of new features while I gave it absolutely everything to keep the previous ones.

Colors are not final, but feedback is welcome about everything, much like you are welcome back

The state boards and chats still there just separated into 4 regions. Click the southeastern region, Florida, Florida chat.

You were looking at the same time I was moving stuff around.

Thanks Lee sorry about the timing.

TechAdmin · June 20, 2023, 08:44:49 AM

It's now possible to add files from the quick reply, just click on "Add Files" and it will load the whole drag&drop section, you won't lose the content of what you were posting

Tapatalk updated a little while ago and now I'm having problems. Before the update the timeline was fine but after the update the latest posts it shows are from yesterday and it just buffers without stopping.

Is it possible that the changes to the forum has broken the plugin or something to that effect, it is this just another issue on Tapatalk's end?

TechAdmin · June 22, 2023, 01:29:05 PM

You answered yourself I'm afraid... If they updated and it's broken, it's definitely not on our end

That's what I was afraid of

Thanks Flavio.

Yup, same issue here, so switched to the laptop. Meh, it gives me an excuse to check the full desktop version out a little more anyways.

I left the tappatalk site and signed on to the desktop site (on my phone too). There is a place to acknowledge a new updated terms and conditions. I accepted. Tappatalk has worked fine since then for me.

I fixed some old HTML code in the registration agreement, did that force *everyone* to accept it again? That'd be some swearing on my end

There were no real changes other than removing some extremely old stuff and references to Laurie herself in there, I moved everything to Lee.

TechAdmin · July 09, 2023, 08:27:41 AM

Also new banner for BAM in Dock Talk area, seems that the image is too big for the designated ad size. We might change the location or the image itself. If you see the image breaking the template (way too big) please flush your browser cache.
In the meantime, you can use code "X2023" for a big discount on Bass Anglers Magazine

Flavio you have made Lou a happy guy, because I think I can finally post my own pics as long as I use my I-phone. This is a major accomplishment for me, and it seams easy. Thanks Lou for all your help over the years, and thanks Flavio for all your hard work.

Very glad to hear this

You're welcome

So, a bit of an update... The theme will be updated to version 1.2.4 possibly tomorrow and in the meantime the default color has been changed to dark green variant. @FD so it works, the author made it so flexible that it ended up having 2 settings that partially overlap one another, that's why it was a bit weird to change it
