Hi Pranavt,

If all goes well, we should have the new store up and running by the end of this working week or sooner.

Suman,

As GTO mentioned, tsk1979 did bring up the same point in the Support Forum. After some discussion, i think the majority are in favour of keeping the limit the same for now. There are many reasons for this - but in general, simply put : An increase in pictures per post will make life easier for 1 thread poster per thread, but may inconvenience hundreds or thousands of readers of that thread for a variety of reasons.

By using the REPORT POST button you are drawing the moderators' attention to a specific post. We can then take a call on whether or not action needs to be taken.

Please don't hesitate to report posts.

Good point there YaeJay.

I can assure you that the new classifieds software will allow location-wise searches. Whether it will be exactly state-wide is something we are still working on, as we definitely do see the value in it.

Thanks for the suggestion McLaren Rulez.

I see your point, but we also have to strike a fine balance between organization/sub-sections and clarity/simplicity/non-overwhelming layout.... and until a section gets to its tipping point, we will probably have to continue with it as is, without splitting it up.
Perhaps some time in the future...

Thanks,
R

Hi Gansan,

Yes, the software does have a feature to display members viewing a particular forum as well as thread. However, for large boards, these queries can get brutal on the server. We don't see too much value in enabling this service.

mithun · 3rd July 2009, 18:01

Please make sub-forums for Motorbikes section especially for Modding since nowadays most of the queries are related with Modding. Because of that General/Tech queries are getting drowned.

Also, it seems to be like that all the motorbiking enthusiasts have shifted their loyalty from xBHP after their last server crash !

Mods,I'm unable to attach any Images in any of the threads. If I click "INSERT IMAGE" button, nothing happens. What could be the issue?

Technocrat · 7th July 2009, 16:16

Check if you have a pop-up blocker which could be blocking the pop-up window for uploading pictures.

Are you trying to attach images directly by clicking on 'Insert Image'?

If yes, Please read the directions for attaching images at this link:

I have turned OFF pop up blocker. Moreover in the advanced option ,"MANAGE ATTACHMENTS" button is not displayed, it's just attach file & valid file attachemts description is there.I have IE 7

GTO · 7th July 2009, 17:43

Therein lies the problem. To upload pictures, you must not use the "insert image" option.

Please follow the step-by-step guide to using the "manage attachments" window and uploading your pictures.

Exactly how it ought to be

sushrutha · 8th July 2009, 11:21

Well the problem is not just with attaching images, none of the buttons( Remove for matting , Bold, Italic underline, insert link, insert image etc)work for me.Any idea what could be the problem here ?

Since Team BHP uses WYSIWYG editor, sometimes the scripts don't load completely in IE. (You might notice a warning icon at the bottom left corner of the browser in this case.)
Try switching over to Firefox or Chrome and that should be able to solve the problem.
If you still want to use IE, clear all temp files and browser cache and try but eventually you will face the same problem later! I hope this helps!

sushrutha · 8th July 2009, 12:13

@pulsar56, I have even tried with Firefox, it's still the same, None of the buttons work.I have cleared cache & temp files of IE.Yep I can see the yello warning at down left of IE(Done, but with errors)

GTO : What about my request ?

pranavt · 10th July 2009, 03:35

Has the site been frustratingly slow for the last few hours? Or is it just me?

bblost · 15th July 2009, 11:17

How about including a
Has Attachments (yes/ no) Checkbox

in the Advanced search, search option.

Some other sites have this feature and they seem to use the same software as TBHP.
