• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

Inserting Attachment or Gallery pictures into a post

Sixth Vanguard

Board Flunky, aka Site Admin
I have added a a small utility to make posting pictures from attachments of the users galleries a little easier, hopefully. This will allow members to easily post attached pictures as large pictures and not just thumbnails.

This post assumes you already know how to ad pictures to the Gallery OR how to attach pictures to a post.

There is now a small frame below the Smilies on the right named "My Photos" which contains a link named "Insert", highlighted in this picture with a red circle

attachment.php


Clicking the link will pop up a window (make sure you allow popups from SAG) which looks something like this;

attachment.php


At the top is a drop down list that lets you select either the "vBGallery" or "Attachments" as the source of the pictures to choose from.

Clicking on a picture inserts the picture into the post. Close the popup when you are done selecting your picture(s).

The popup will display all pictures you have ever attached to any and all topics with the latest attachments showing up first. You can page through all the attachments by clicking the numbers at the bottom of the popup.

Please post any questions or problems on this functionality in this thread.
