Test Thread

[Andrew]

Please use this thread to test out the new forum features (e.g. uploading photos, avatars, etc.).

[fearn]

Yup. I'm here. Bring on the blades!

[mmontoro]

Thanks to Lee and anyone else for the time and effort to do this.

Welcome back in the new World of Ethnographic Arms my friends

Let me break the one of the forum rules: "Decisions made by Vikingsword Staff are not subject to public debate."

Decision about new forum was great . I like it !

Best regards

[Spunjer]

test, test...

[zelbone]

I guess I made it in...but now I'm a noobie again

[Henk]

I suppose I'm in too. Zelbone, lets discuss a lot and we become senior member in no time again.

Posting pictures works good and the best part is editting the posting.

[fernando]

testing and thanking for the opportunity to enjoy the new features of this excelent forum.

[Federico]

Now Zel, if there were an off topic section to the site, we could shoot the breeze without worrying about trolling, and thus plunk our post counts back to a nice high and respectable level.

[Federico]

Serious question though, will we be allowed at some point to use custom avatars? The same 9 avatars for all the forum members may become tedious as the member list grows. It would be nice to create more unique avatars to better differentiate posters. Perhaps guidelines/rules as to what constitutes an acceptable custom avatar are coming soon?

[Federico]

Well since Im here I may as well test the uploading picture option. Im always so lazy in uploading pics to my own site, wonder if this will make things easier.

[Adni Aljunied]

Congratulations!!! Better looking site and better picture uploading and editting is really great.

Testing all features here pls.

[Federico]

Oh wow that was painless, Ill try some more.

Federico, custom avatars may be submitted to Lee for review:

AVATARS are optional small images which appear under your screen name in your posts. For this forum, avatars shall consist of images of ethnographic arms and armour. You may select from a preinstalled library of avatars or you may e-mail an image conforming to this theme to ljones@vikingsword.com for creation of a custom avatar. In the case of requests for a custom avatar, please be sure that you have included your user name and that you send the message from the e-mail address that you used to register.

[Federico]

Thanks Andrew, custom avatar pic sent to Lee for approval.

[Federico]

........................... NOT !!

[Adni Aljunied]

Hey, I just ntoiced direct uploading of pics instead of from another site server. Am just testing and hope it works. Just curious to know how long the pics will stay........as long as the the thread is "alive"???

[Rick]

Welcome Adni !

I believe the pictures will stay available for the life of the forum . Direct upload is the preferred way to go with this software .

[nechesh]

Well, let's see if this works.

[nechesh]

Wow, coooool!!!! It DOES work.
OK Rick, I've only got 997 more to go!

[Rick]

[wolviex]

Have you noticed it's no longer "Edged weapon forum" but ARMS AND ARMOUR FORUM ? Doeas it mean we can post firearms in here ?

On the main site vikingsword.com I could'd find link to the new forum. There is only link to the old one. The old one is still working, will it be closed or something? I don't know, should work on both forums?

Great job by the way, and much new things to learn - I hope it won't discourage some of our forum mates, which are less familiar with computers and internet.
