    We hate doing it too. Its a lot of work and grief for us as well. I some times wonder if members have any idea on the amount of effort placed into doing this work. We are working hard to make the site better, it takes a lot of time and doing changes in real time is even harder. As of today, we have corrected over 100 bugs and made 3 full revisions since last week to accommodate our members. I know it is slow, but we hope the changes will be seen for the better. :)

    Wow! that was easy I'm sure glad somebody figured it out for a dummy like me.
    That was my 54 coupe. This is of the mastercylinder for the 54 sedan with the LaBuds disc brake conversion.

    OK, so the first pic (of the coupe) came up in the body of the message, but the one of the master cylinder came as an attachment. Did you do anything different?

    Sounds good to me Sarah - and I don't understand a word you typed. B) For me using the "Add File" box at the bottom of the page works!!!

    Being an old retired folk who thought the typewriter was "space age" technology I have to agree with Alex. I have found that for each photo you want to add all you need do is hit "edit" after you have sent the file and you can add another photo. Now that I have said that, I hope they do not shut this method of posting down. I am not sure I could learn all that "flicker" and other terms you used... Also, I fully understand the work and updates to make these things work. Those of you who do this are my heros...

    Not a fan of the new forum yet. It is a lot slower navigating the pages than the old one was.

    I don't see an "edit" button. After I insert a picture the system won't let me "add file" again. It's like it's frozen after one use.
    And the picture goes to the top of the post every time.

    Maybe once the bugs are worked out of the system a "sticky" could be posted to help out people like me who are NOT computer types?

    I thought that I was posting a new topic on the Hudson website and it ended up in general discussions. What's the proper way to start a new topic under the Hudson discussion section?

    I'm having some problems with multi-page threads. I see the litte "pages" icons at the bottom right, but it only goes up to the page I'm looking at. As long as the thread doesn't have more page numbers than fits in the window, you can just click the next page. However, if the pages are many - it only goes up the page you're viewing. You can't just pick the next page and move along.

    How does one "thumb" through the rest of the pages without having to re-enter the thread from the main page? I know I'm missing something simple - somebody point the way, please.

  • Have the same issue - A 13+ page thread will only show about 12 of the page links, once you get into the thread, a 31 page thread only shows 28 pages... The only way I've found around this is to do like you said, to go back to the main Forum page, and then go into the page you wanted to look at.

    Maybe Ted (Forum Admin) will weigh-in on this - appears to be a bug.

    BTW, I routinely run IE v7.0.5730.13 when I experience this issue, and see the same issue with IE v8.x on a separate PC.
    I have no problem with this particular issue while running with Apple Safari, so it is more than likely browser related...

    There is a major update coming down this week. I know that we reported this issue to the developer as well some other sites. I have not gone through the entire bug fix log, there are over 100 fixes and another 20 feature improvements in the update. The developers are very good to work with an update the code almost every 4 to 6 weeks. Its like restoration work, grind off some rust, treat, apply some surface builder, sand, more builder, more sanding.....its a work in progress. Hang in there. Thanks!
  • Has anyone used the ebay widget to post ebay finds? It easy, just click on the "Ebay" icon above and enter in the auction number....that's it.

    Well, golly, Ted ... why didn't you say it only showed up on a reply page. I was looking on the main forum page.

    It shows on new topic, reply...really any place you are posting from. Its part of the editor. Sorry for the confusion. You can embed photos, ebay items, video, maps, and links. Its just matter of what you want to do.

    See the Enlarge / Shrink to the left (When in the Editor)....this will add more space if you care to expand the posting window. There is really a lot to the Forum if have time to play around with it.
