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?

Now weirdly they are displaying on my phone but not on the laptop. Suspect this means the problem is with my ageing tech rather than the site, but they displayed fine on both before. Probably just a temporary glitch.

Okay I give up.

I thought it'd be a nice way to mark the relaunch with another dip into the copper jar. But I can't seem to locate the' donate button '

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.

Yes I know what you mean, this is an issue for me. However it does seem that the arrow at the top right of the thread / board hides the left hand column and gives enough room for the images.

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?

Yes that's the first thing I noticed! I would really like to see it back to how it was, as I like to be able to quickly scroll through and glance at user names to see who is behind each thread.
At least it's not like a certain other wargaming message board where it doesn't tell you anywhere who the thread author is until you open it....

It’s still there, guys, below the thread name:

Yes but I can't now sort the thread by 'Started by' and see the whole of a members work in that thread.  I found it useful to get a feel for a particular period and see someones whole work on that particular board.  It is particularly useful tool to find those members who post lots of work but use a different thread each time.

On the other hand the less useful (at least for me) button to see how many posts/views is still available.

Can this be fixed?

Yes I know, I just prefered how it used to be a separate column and was easier to see at a glance. :) It's just a minor thing, but if it's simply a different setting that could be switched I'm sure a lot of other people would prefer it how it was before.

That appears to have been a pretty seamless transition. Thanks to the Prof for all the years of work and all hail our new overlord.

I use an iPad, but after the move it does not work on a pad. What happened to the LAF. did you change the software?

For the iPad, you will need to change to the new .com address. http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php

Great work this smooth transition   :) :)

To me the LAF seems to react faster and the access to the member galleries looks improved as well.

Thanks for the work and effort put in

cheers Thomas

HURRAH! That was a long and boring couple of days!

The site is nice and open now, I'm sure a little jiggery pokery over the next few months will fix things ,but i like the more open layout.

It does look a little odd on mobile tho....

+1 to the 'withdrawal systems'
Glad to have the LAF back, teething problems are to be expected, and will (hopefully) be soon resolved.
