I might be getting senile however previously when I went to the chat site my log in status was visible-there was a log in or log out button. It has disappeared and right now if I want to log out I need to use the drop down box next to my user name. Just curious if that is an update and if there are other modifications being worked on.

In the members only section Peter Gariepy posted that there would be some changes in the near future though I got the impression it was to be a bit later than now.

Hopefully the ability to change the page appearance will return soon. I'm not a fan of the UBB default skin but that's the only option I see at this time.

I understand part of the changes will be a newer version of UBB.
Some of us will remember the problems Bill Barker had with an upgrade or server change a few years ago.

The direct link to information about the 60th Anniversary Meet is gone. Where can I go to keep up with this important event without having to download the G & D every time?

So now, the entire look is smaller. Guess what, most of the people who visit this site are just a little over 30 years old. You are making it harder to enjoy this web site.

The forum styles can be changed via one time at the footer.
Or permanent by visiting your preferences in the drop down menu under your name in the top right when you click on it.
For now there are only 3 but I will be adding a few more.
But Peter will need to approve them for use.
As far as smaller it may be due to being mobile friendly now but I need to talk to Peter about making this full screen on a desktop first.
That may help
Currently it is set to fill 90% of the screen.

Yes, you now must log out using the dropdown.

Actually the template has not changed. Font sizes are the same. Regardless, I'm planning on changing the template completely in the coming days. Stay tuned.

The font size definitely does not look the same on my screen.
And I have to enlarge now to read it comfortably.
Never had to do that before.
Staying tuned for the changes in the coming days! :-)

I also had the small size . Not sure why as previously my screen was set for 110 % zoom. After the changes when I checked it was 100% so I am guessing I previously changed it and with the updates lost that setting. I just went in to my " Application Menu' and reset it for 110 % and all is fine.

I'll fix the font size as soon as we get the template issues resolved. Soon.
Thanks for your patience.

What happened to the moderators forum? Went to read it tonight and it has vaporized.

Hi Peter
I have a question/suggestion.
I've never been able to attach pictures to private messages.
When I click on "use full editor" for a private message, the attachment manager doesn't come up.
Is this normal? Or am I just not seeing something I should?
Being able to attach pictures or drawings would really be useful when trying to help someone who has PM'ed me a question.
Can this be done?
Thanks!

Well you can insert a image in a private message you just can't download a image to use like the attachment manager. The image first needs to be somewhere on the internet. Then copy the URL and using the insert image link enter the url. That tool is a image such as ![[Linked Image from ubbcentral.com]](https://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/images/markup_panel/default/image.gif) in the tool bar Try this for a example in a private message In the insert image add https://cdn.ymaws.com/vcca.site-ym.com/resource/resmgr/vccachatter_forums_logo.png Which is the vcca logo at the header of this forum.

I just noticed the history on the 29-32 section only goes back 11 pages. Did I miss something on that change, is it temporary , or on my end?
