Enjoy the new-look Chews - Vanilla has been upgraded

edited June 2014 in Parish notices
Hi everyone

We're now using the latest version of Vanilla. And, with it, there have been some changes.

I've had a good poke around, and can't see anything that's obviously broken, but please post here if you notice anything going wonky.

Cheers

Dave

  • Bit posh Dave :)

    That notification to update email seems to be gone now.
  • Weird, looks like I haven't posted a comment as the text is still in box, pressed a few times and nothing, then refreshed page and there's loads of them?
  • Done it again, I type press post then need to click refresh for it to post, will try one tap of post now and one refresh...
  • Bloody strange!!
  • The post button should automatically refresh the page with the comment but it isn't, I'm on the iPad Dave
  • Hmm. Let me try.
  • No. I'm getting the same thing.

    I wasn't happening earlier.
  • OK. I've gone back to the default.
  • It still seems to be happening.

    Please bear with me. I don't know why it's not allowing us to post properly.

    @sovereign. Did you have any problems posting James?
  • Posting from iphone...
  • ...seems fine.
  • Thanks Ben

    I think it's a problem with one of the plug-ins. I'm working through them at the moment.
  • It looks as if two plug-ins were causing problems.

    Both were approved for this version of Vanilla, so I'm not sure what's up.

    Anyway, please post any further problems here.
  • Thanks for the magic Dave.
    Your time and skill are acknowledged.
    (Am I missing the smiley button...?)
  • You are.

    Thanks for the reminder. I need to find an alternative plug-in.
  • Get some rest Dave.

    I can use the old fashioned way for a while... :)
    Ooo. THere it is.

    ;)
  • Ah. Same plug-in, but it must have been interacting with another one that I've since deleted.

    So it's back unless it causes problems.
  • Well done Dave! :)
  • Thanks Dan
  • One thing I should make clear is that Chews works exactly the same as it did before.

    So there should be nothing to re-learn. Only things in different places with the new design, and few little bells and whistles that should make things easier for you.
  • Calm down Col, we've got your back :-)

    It's, er, not blue anymore?

    Let's give it time to settle, though 1st impressions count - I don't like the font. Sorry! I'm more a calibri man than Times, but that's just the way I roll...
  • Nope. Well spotted!
  • Where's the quote button too?
    I was gunna call Alan a snob....

    Guess I'll have to go vigilante - Snob :-)

    Doh, I see it!
    Got that email message in a black box on screen again tho lol
  • Dave the comment u made about the quote button being top right I deleted.
    I think everyone has admin rights Dave, I clicked the icon that looks like a little cog and had the option to edit and delete, so I deleted that to see if it actually worked.
  • Everyone has admin rights? Surely not!

    I'll have a look.
  • You don't have Admin rights, but I don't know why Members can edit and delete others' posts.
  • @Dan. I think I've fixed it.

    Can you see if you have the cog wheel still?
  • I do:

    Edit
    Delete
    Order curry

    You are a Mod, Ben, so you can do all that stuff.
    Haha, I'm writing on ur post neneneneneh....
  • Have a look at ur last post Dave!
    I can't delete anymore tho :-)
  • Hmm. I think I've cured that too.

    The Permissions for this category didn't save properly.
  • Yep all sorted Dave :)
  • That was all a tad confusing. I fear change :-)
  • That's why you live on France, Stu
  • I can't get a youtube video to embed - any answers?

    Working fine from the wilds of Somerset now, nice format looks better than the standard forum site  :-D
    It also seems to load quicker here we have only a 1Meg system, still on Epping Cable over head I suspect made from wet string and Pig Poo. Surprisingly the floods made it faster so the locals shilled it lots in the local pub.

    Is that what you did Ben?
    Yes! :-)
  • You're a star
  • I can't change profile picture..........
  • Have you tried these steps Paul?

    Go to your profile page and click Edit Profile.

    Then Change My Picture on the left.

    Then you can upload a new pic.

    Or, at least, you should be able to ;-)
  • Yes, it says " You don't have permission to do that "
  • OK. Let me see if I can see why you're getting that message.
  • Try again now, please. I think it should work.
