Melanie: it seems there is also only one size for the embedding of images. Apr 6, 2013 15:44:41 GMT
Peter: And you probably have to edit your themes/skins a bit. At least I had to do that. Apr 6, 2013 15:44:52 GMT
Melanie: oh thanks Apr 6, 2013 15:45:09 GMT
Peter: I will see if I can find more about embedding of images and its size. Apr 6, 2013 15:45:10 GMT
Melanie: it seems that you have now the possibility to upload images directly to the forum database Apr 6, 2013 15:46:17 GMT
Melanie: oh proboards needs 45 minutes to convert my forum Apr 6, 2013 16:11:20 GMT
Peter: That is true, it can take 45 minutes, but probably does it in less.  :) Apr 6, 2013 16:17:02 GMT
Melanie: we will see  :) Apr 6, 2013 16:18:24 GMT
Melanie: and this is only the test upgrade. the real upgrade will take another 45 minutes Apr 6, 2013 16:19:05 GMT *
