It's ALIVE... Migrated to new board software. Please validate

Thanks so much for your persistent work.

I have found one issue: in the For Sale board I find I cannot post:

I do see the heading reads, "Deal gear and other items here; 10-post minimum preferred." Could it be my post count on the new board is below ten?
You SHOULD be good...

It's one small way to make sure we're not getting hit by the "drive-by" sellers and potential scammers.
 
I have a for sale ad in the for sale section and it says I have insufficient rights to reply in it.. is there some new rule with the new software? thanks

I'm still "insufficient" as well. There are people posting today, so there is some parameter distinguishing between members.

Maybe the new Board has via AI gained access to the balance in my Guitar Account and determined I am unqualified to purchase anything currently for sale. :oops:

That's actually pretty handy...

so I am not the only one with this issue?
 
I am not complaining. Having the site back is better than anything, but is there any settings for how to view the site. I am somewhat techy but can't find it. Two things. On some threads the photos are very small compared to the space in the post. 2. the what's new page. very hard to read and click on the newest posts. maybe I need to click on the name...

First off, thank you Ted and anyone else involved for tending to our beloved plot of internet and clearing it of weeds.

I was able to post, so that works. I'm sure others are trying out features that don't occur to me, and shortly all will be right in our world.

The only difference, for me, is that somehow I had selected a dark background rendering of the forum pages in the last iteration and now in the new current iteration I don't see a way to do that. I can learn to exist with the brightness, but if an option exists to change the appearance, I would be happy to learn of it.

Permissions are a little strange on the new board and I set it up to prevent any scammer/spammers from being active on that board by requiring 10 post minimum and 2 weeks of membership but conflicted with other rules so fixing now. Will update when to test again

Dark mode should be default. check in your profile for a setting that may be opposite. I will look deeper if you dont find anything

@velorush and @Jakeboy can you both try again to see if you have permission to post in for sale?
 
I can tell you, I don't have permission in FS, but can comment or post everywhere else I've looked. I'm not trying to, but did notice that peculiarity.
Checking. The permission are rather unique on this new board software so still figuring thing out. thanks for hanging in there.
 
Curious as to the size limit of posting photos. I think it used to be 5MB. I just tried uploading a photo that was 1.6MB and the board wouldn't let me. Anyone know the new size limit?

Confirming: my ability to post in the FS Forum is restored.

Thank you!

I think... :oops:

Found it, thanks! I was defaulted to System, but could also choose either Light or Dark. I chose the Dark, naturally.
