Dear LAF members,

welcome to the new LAF ship! We completed the handover, LAF left Germany and arrived in UK and I think it looks good

Thanks to everyone being involved into the handover process for their great support and input. The software had been upgraded, some old bugs had been fixed, data transfer completed. From now on if you have any questions to the owner of LAF, please contact Nick Eyre (nicknorthstar). This is my last post in my role as administrator of LAF, looking forward to join the ranks of regular users now

Have a good time and thanks for your patience.

Best wishes

Alex

Appreciate it, but is it really meant to look like this:

Glad to see it back, but can I say that it seems a little squashed.

Looking good! Nice to see it back! Bon chance!

So, I don't post very often and mostly lurk and get inspired (I should post more but I get intimidated, sorry), but I just wanted to express my gratitude for the maintenance and continued upkeep of this special corner of the hobby world and the internet.

Thanks guys and gals.

Good to see a site back. But formatting is very odd.
Sidebar combined with the user name and logo is wider than the thread post area.
Pretty much all the included images force the page to scroll off the side of the monitor.
Looks as if the column widths need to be amended.

That's odd. None of those things are happening for me.

Well, that came - to me, at least - as a surprise...
Good to see it is back and thanks to prof. Witchheimer for running the site all those years

Glad that the transfer seems to have gone well. I have a couple of minor issues such as my avatar going missing but I am sure I can re-load.

One annoying thing is that you can't navigate directly to your sent items without first opening the My Messages page, and even then you have to hover over the messages icon to bring up the options.

I also notice that the column showing who started the thread has been lost. I found that quite useful to find the canon of work of a particular member in that board section. Any chance of resurrecting it or is there another way to get that functionality?

Thanks to all who navigated us through the transfer. We have now folded space...

Now to photograph and post some of the things I've managed to finish...

No, it is the widths of the various columns that is causing me problems.

This image previously remained within the thread post box area. Either the column widths are off or the resize is not working.
Also note the left hand half of the screen is taken up with the sidebar and member ID/Avatar panel. These are both much wider than they were before.

Phew! LAF is back! The withdrawal symptoms were getting bad!

Severian · « **Reply #14 on:** February 15, 2018, 04:44:45 PM »

robh - I've been able to toggle the sidebar on and off using the small arrow button immediately at the top left above the post. Any good?

More of a potential issue is that images previously uploaded to threads (rather than linked)aren't displaying for me, although they are showing as attachments and can be clicked on. Can this be fixed? Haven't tried uploading any new images yet; that'll be next...

I'm also not seeing anyone's avatars where these have been personally uploaded rather than taken from the forum stock images.

Anyone else having this problem?
