Has anybody tried embedding an iFrame in this new forum?

The iframes displaying a google doc don't work any more in the East vs. West racing posts.

I can figure out another method if needed. But the iframe was always pretty easy on the old forum.

Example:

The 2019 East vs West Competition.

Rules: (nicked from http://www.turbobricks.com/evw.php) Summary The "east vs. west" shootout was created by Pat D. (tuff240) to help motivate the group by creating a friendly yet competitive event we could all participate in from our home towns. The goal is to lay down the fastest time you can...

I can’t see any sigs, even though I have them turned on in my preferences. Any one else have this issue?

I no longer feel exclusive. Where is my bright pink seal of uniqueness?

I named a brown rallycross 244 after you. Morley, the Brown Bomber. Steve Noe (stevemd) hit a tree with it.

I don't see a signature in your post. But there are signatures at the bottom of mine and a few others.

I was wondering about this too. Is there no way one can embed non-image media content with a direct link to it? The "approved sites" thing is pretty limiting.

@boostdemon looks like html is not working for embedding media in posts. Is this a fixable thing or will I have to Ctrl+H all of my build threads?

Not sure, still learning.

 

[Jeh]

i've dreamt of this moment for weeks.

My dreams have come true as well.


Dana..or anyone... 2 question.

Is there a way to post without including your sig? I've looked but I guess Im missing it.

2nd one is how do we do multiple quotes?

 

[boostdemon]

yeah the 1-sig-per-post was a mod i had on vb. i'll be looking to do the same here.

Hopefully theres a fix here. My thread got wrecked lol. I really like the rest of the forum looks. Feels smoother somehow

I noticed today that the Redwoodchair thread (https://www.turbobricks.com/index.php?threads/redwood-chair-ken-rogers.365641/page-17#post-6312008) doesn't show up under "general, off topic" threads for me.

Edit: Never mind, got it figured out.

Wow, disappear for a few weeks and then discover a new home! (Is this like the parents painting the house and buying all new furniture so the kid doesn't recognize the place after a college semester...?)


But seriously -- amazingly well done. You migrated all posts and photos, kept links intact (!), kept all usernames and dates and post counts without making anyone reset even so much as a password?? In less than a week, to boot. And then tweaked a handful of user requests to return a bit of the old feel. Bravo!

The ability to resize pictures is a nice touch. Looking forward to discovering other new treasures as well.

PS. When spot checking, I did find a couple of bad links on an FAQ page here, but to be fair, I kinda suspect they've been incorrect for years. When it comes to computers, that's one of my superpowers: I can break anything. Need any more testing done?

One link I can say definitely worked before the move was the cam spec chart, I pretty regularly looked at it

https://www.turbobricks.com/resources.php?content=camspec

Wayback machine has a copy from 2021, but still would be a nice thing to have up here again

 

[gsellstr]

That cam spec chart was awesome!

 

[boostdemon]

Yeah eventually i will figure out how to load those into the board as articles.. and then they can be more of a 'living document' that can be updated and discussed which would be awesome.

Hey @boostdemon

Did we lose the albums we were able to save photos to as contributors?

I cant seem to find mine anymore.

Everything else looks cool!

 

[boostdemon]

I do have them from a board backup if needed, but no they were no imported to this new board.

 

[woodrowstar]

Well, this is nice. Somehow easier to use on my trap phone.
