On Windows 10 when using a tablet there is an issue. The screen keyboard when it pops up then does not allow the Omega forum web page screen above to scroll up or down. Othere web page screens scroll up or down when the screen keyboard is underneath. This means I can't see what I am typing on the Omega forum.

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, we don't have any Win10 tablets to test on, but we do test on Win10 phone (where it seems to work ok in regards to the keyboard).

I assume you're creating or editing a post when this happens?

I'll have a look around and see if I can figure out what could be the cause.

Thanks I am using a HP Pavilion 2 10.1inch Model 10-NoooNA Atom laptop. It has a magnetic hinge that enables it to become a tablet, this only happens when using it as a tablet.

Would it be possible to add a couple of features to user profile?

Would be nice to have location (country flag?), and name (just first name) - so that you know who you're talking to and where in the world they are.

Off topic but @Trev i am super impressed with the scripts here. I currently run a Scout affiliated site but was independent for 12-15 years and before that a mod on other sites, I've got 20+ years in the message board environment and absolutely adore the functionality here. If I had been using this instead of SMF my users would have completely revolted when I moved to Scout.

I just open OF and read the statistic board. Only 22 members and 23 guests online. Far from usual hundreds members and guests online that I saw. Any new methodology (eg bot filter) or just quiet night?

Nope just software updates, the current members active data is stored in a temporary table which is erased when the database server is restarted, that's why its back to normal now 😀

Easier than the "add photos" button? ::facepalm1::
Yes , doesn't get much easier than here for adding photos. In addition to the Add Photos button, you can drag and drop or copy and paste.

Yep.

Easiest place I've seen on the web for posting photos... fantastic!

I continue to have difficulty with the red alert between "LATEST" and AUCTION" on the top bar. I cannot access them.

I use a Mac, Safari, and OS 10.5.5

So if you click latest and then click the alerts tab, are there any alerts there? It should clear after you check them there.

it is not as easy as attaching a pix to an E MAIL ( I send photos around the world via email)' which is the standard method, but ; I am not a computer expert..

Attaching a picture to an email is the standard way to send a picture via email. As stated by the Lizard, the forum is not an email.

Also, as stated above, you have several methods that are open to you on the forum.
1. right click on the picture and copy, right click in the forum window and paste.
2. left click on the picture and hold, drag the picture into the forum window and drop
3. click on the ADD PHOTOS button and select photo from you files.
