What about having a preview included in the subscribed thread update email? Sort of like on S2F where they have the most recent post quoted in the update email.

Something I notice lacking is the option to include tags with threads... wouldn't that help google/bing searches find the content?

Just a thought.

What's the chance of getting the option to view the forum in a lighter skin like the s2forum allows? This dark grey hurts my eyes. :ty:

is it because I'm using a browser on my android phone? I went and loaded my thread up with a bunch of high res pictures and now my browser (firefox) crashes every time I load the page. it does it on Nates last page too. (ariapilot) its eating up all my memory like crazy till it does a faceplant. I like that they post in such a large resolution, but its killin me smalls! or would it be better with tapatalk? Not sure about some of these confounded apps. I don't like conforming if I don't have to. :P
Or maybe my phone is sofa king we Todd did!

Can we get a list of allowable uploadable file types? Or are none allowed? I'd like to attach some CAD files (dwg, dxf, or native 3D models).

The fuqn faq is not much help...

They ability to view more posts per page once you're in a thread.... I hate having to go page per page trying to find things in long threads...

The ability to just view just the pics in a thread would also would be neat (pic only view)... Find the relevant pic in a thread, click, and pick up right there on that spot...

Unfortunately posts per page and topics per page are global board settings, cannot be changed per user. Currently both are set to 25/page. Can certainly be increased if that is the general consensus.

Using the search would probably make it easier for you to find specific posts in long threads.

We may upgrade to a newer version of phpBB eventually. Not sure if the newer versions have the individual post/page feature or not.

Anybody else having difficulties uploading jpeg photos over the last 48 hrs? I've cropped them extensively to see if it's size and they still come back as "invalid".. routine maintenance which changed max allowable upload size maybe? Lol I couldn't resist as Google turned that up during a search on the issue.
