Hi everyone,
This update has been long overdue and I remember posting about it way back in May 2017. Long story short is that we were waiting for a stable software version and to ensure that the functionality of the old forums software is maintained as much as possible after we move to a new software platform.
ClubSNAP New Logo
There is still some work to be done but we wanted to open up the forums for members in the meantime. As I mentioned before, one of the biggest advantages of this new software is the ability to drag-and-drop image files for a direct upload to our servers, but even in saying that, there are two options available to members. This works across desktop and mobile browsers and you can select images to upload directly from your phone or tablet.
Inline attachment to threads/posts
Images can be attached to posts as it is being written, but the attachment size will be limited to 600px maximum dimension.
The MAIN use for attachments would be to include images in the Personal Classifieds sections.
Upload to Media Gallery
This would be the preferred method for members who want a higher quality image for posting into the Photo Galleries sections. The image dimension will be set at 1200px at the maximum (for the moment), and this will yield a higher quality image for viewing.
Other notable features
1. Watched threads and forum sections – you can be alerted if new threads are created in Watched sections, or new replies are posted in a Watched thread.
2. Private Messages (in old system) is now referred to as Conversations, and you can invite multiple people into a Conversation.
We are in the midst of tweaking the server settings and the maximum file upload size is currently set at 4MB – we can increase this as required.
For now, please take a look around the new ClubSNAP forums and please give us your feedback and also to report back any issues that you come across.
Things to be done over the next few days
1. Forms-based posting to Personal Classified sections
2. General housekeeping and consolidation of unused/underused sections
3. Tweaking of file upload permissions to find an optimum balance
