Copy and pasting images into the editor has never worked, but this start crap is very annoying.

I don't know about anybody else but blurry images are back again. I reset my modem, router, and had my ISP reset from their end...only an issue on this damn website.

I also agree infinite scroll is terrible, this isn't Tumblr!

User control panel -> edit options -> lazy loading

You can also disable infinite scrolling there.

Thanks, I had already disabled infinite scrolling within minutes of experiencing it. I hadn't noticed the lazy loading option...drives me crazy seeing blurred images as I scroll.

For those reading this at a later date, I'll add: User control panel -> edit options -> lazy loading -> save changes

It is difficult to make new posts because posting pics deletes text and, as a moderator, I'm regularly cleaning up posts of others in the wrong threads due to infinite scrolling.

Traffic on the site seems to be down. Please switch it back.

Hey guys i just wanted to know if any of you were aware of a Miata-specific forum that didn't have all these things that seem to be geared specifically towards making a forum as hard to use as possible?

I found ClubRoadster, owned by AutoGuide, i may give them a shot. They seem to have a good handle on how to make a forum functional.

You mean functional as in the way Miata Turbo was even a few short months ago? That must be refreshing. I bet traffic has really increased at that functional Miata site lately (I don't have an account there to view the traffic numbers).

There seems to be a bit of irony in the fact that internet brands was trying to bolster the page views to sell this forum or sell advertising on it and ended up ******* The Forum so badly that attendance dropped. AND it probably cost $3.50 for the three hours spent by the programmers in Bangalore, lol.

Thank you! That image loading crap was driving me nuts.

@Robb M. , please make it so that what I see in the message composition window matches what happens after I post. (Note indent and line-feed on bullet-list items)




EDIT: also please make it so that if happen to click somewhere in the message composition window after clicking "upload" from the image uploader, before it's finished uploading the image, it doesn't blow away all of the text I've previously typed. This is a relatively new (past 1-2 months) problem.

Is MazdaRoadster still solid? I never really got in with the club roadster crowd, although there is some great tips over there, like using plastic weld and acrylic tube to replace broken plastic screw standoffs, or a DIY on a KG Works style cluster for 1/10 the price. IIRC the guide for drilling my control arms for zerks was over there too.

That is annoying, it is probably related to our attempts to fix the indent issue. We've had a couple of things steal the priority points recently, but fixing the editor once and for all is in the works.

I thought that we had fixed the uploading images displacing text this week. Are you certain?
I can't seem to make this happen. How are you clicking in the message editor before the image uploads?

Ok, the image-upload bug does seem to be fixed.


I'm not having double-pasting problems.
