Forum update - September 2021
We are back online. Not a lot has changed for you but most noticeable are:
1. Popup images are back again.
2. New media embedder. there is now no need to use the old youtube tag. just paste the link and the forum should pick it up automatically, the other cool thing about this is it will also pick up on other links. ones I have enabled for now are; Youtube, BBC, Twitter, Reddit, Imgur, Flickr. Just paste the link and forum should get it automatically (yet to test them all out)
3. categories on the main page can now be collapsed.
4. Auto groups - no need to pm me to add you to the seller group once you reach 50 posts.
5. A new global announcement notification. more important updates can be posted. you will have seen it already notifying you of the update and the link to this topic. If you hover over the box an X will appear to dismiss the message. Please read them first though.
6. Something else coming soon - keep your eyes peeled.
As Always if you notice any problems please update me via this topic or use the topic to test some of the new features and moan if you don't like change.
Thanks
- Andy

Liking the way pictures now size automatically when you click on them to frame full screen. The 'X' to close them without 'back arrowing' is much better too.

Re: Forum update - September 2021
It seems that the new automatic Youtube embedding has messed up the old tag embedding so they no longer work.
