    I'm not subscribed and mines updated so I am guessing its for everyone.

    I really like it. Very easy to navigate through the different features and options. And everything seemed to work just fine.

    Very cool update! Thanks Rob, for continuing to modernize f-chat.:D

    Seriously though, it keeps getting better and better. Well done, it has come to be my favorite and most frequently visited site on the web.:)

    Maybe ya'll could make it to where we could see all the post since our last login instead of just the 5 page of the most recent ones. I don't get to sign in every day and I like to see all the new threads and I hate having to go to 15 different sections.

    Is there a way to go back to viewing user profiles the old way?

    OK, image auto resize is now working.

    The profile is setup a little different, the only additional feature for right now is the ability to create photo albums for subscribed users. You can view my profile for an example. Please give me time to play with this and other potential features like groups, friends, and messages.

    Could BB coding be turned on?

    And what about a different software, like IP Boards. I LOVE it the other places I visit :D

    In 3.7.0 there are “Social groups” I see your running 3.7.0 now, I think it would be nice for members to be able to setup “Social groups” based on their interest in cars or cars owned. Like a F40 fan group or a 355 owners group.

    I would like to see a simple picture attachment system like the one on *************!
    No matter how big the size of a pic and no matter how much pics attached per post...
    (I really don't like the limitation to just 800 pixels for a jpeg ect.)
    Furthermore I want to be able to correct past posts if necessary.

    You can already edit a post for up to an hour after posting. I think with the P&R section (and racing!) debates, it's important that one's words be 'set' after a certain point.

    Rob,
    How do you use it? Big files are still dropped when you try to upload one. No mention of resize on attachment page. Like the changes on profile page.

    Hmm, working for me, maybe I have to go through the usergroups and activate it. Can some others try?

    I got reports Search wasn't working, it is working for me right now, was that just intermittent or only certain user groups having problems?

    Rob,
    This is a test on this forum. First pic is 2848 wide, direct from camera, JPG 1.5 mb, uploads slowly, reduced to 98 kb and lost a lot of sharpness.
    Second picture is after I reduced it to 800 wide, JPG 215 kb, uploads fast, I sharpened after reduction before uploading. More better? Yes. See if you can get an option on sharpening. File will be larger on your server but quality is much better.
    Large file test did not work on 206/246 forum yesterday. Works today. Don't have to actually send messge to find out. Just preview. Search is dead, error message.
    John

    I'll see about a sharper conversion, I don't mind the file being a little larger. The upload and processing of a large file will take awhile because it has to upload all the way to server in large format for the conversion.
