I will be using this thread to keep members updated on any forum issues, changes, site updates etc.

Any problems related to the forum can be posted as a thread in this section for immediate attention.

Thanks

Users may have seen to minor changes in the past couple of days..

Live URLS
URLs are now live when they are posted on the forum.i.e they are clickable.
eg. http://www.rafcommands.com/forum

The formatting can be applied using the tool bar on top of this post window

BB Code Formatting

You can also do some simple BB code formatting
[b ] [/ b] tags for bold
[i ] [/ i] tags for italic
[u ] [/ u]for underlined


Lists

1. First Item
2. Second Item
3. Third Item

Bullets

• First Bullet
• Second Bullet
• Third Bullet

Quotes

I came i saw I conquered

Signatures
The bulletin board now also supports URLs in Signature.

(The URLS on this board are usually "No Follow" signatures so it really wont help any search engine rankings )

I would request members to use these features responsibily ..


Additionally In response to a query I got :Colours, Smilies etc are NOT enabled and will not be enabled so one need not worry about that.

You can use the User test thread http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/sho...0640#post90640 in the Forum Feedback Section to try out the options

Loving the new RAFCommands home page - but how do you leave Blog posts do you need to be a member of wordpress?

Paul. you can register as a member of wordpress on the site. I will also look around if there is a vbulletin-wordpress "bridge" that will help members avoiding registering yet again.

The idea is to make 'articles' out of some of the great posts, or threads from the forum.

I was mentioning to Ross yesterday - he has a couple of threads like http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/sho...ferred-Service and http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/sho...-Numbers-Types that would actually be more readable and readily accessable in the wordpress site. Ditto with any members who would like to contribute detailed articles or posts of archival quality for quick reference.

Great stuff, thanks Jagan for taking this on. I notice the site runs much more quickly now, so assume you've been able to do some spring cleaning. The increased functionality will be welcome too. All the best with it,

Richard

When I cut and paste the following link into my browser, I am taken to a "holding" page.

http://www.rafcommands.com/cgi-bin/d...rum=DCForumID7

Is this a one off or has the move meant that these links are no longer valid?

Pete,

Jagan, the links to http://www.rafcommands.com/dcforum/DCForumID6/ go to one of those domain holding sites, don;t know what they are called? Calling itself yourSupportServices.co.uk

I didn't think a sub part of a domain could be registered elsewhere. if the old forum messages are missing I beleive I webspidered them sometime in the past - bold me.

[Ross_McNeill]

The DCForum pages are all still there.

You were never able to link to the directory page and get a list of the file names.

To display you need the full url eg

http://www.rafcommands.com/dcforum/DCForumID6/2.html
