I been uploading Aviators from my PC to the Forum using the Avaitor upload with no problem. I haven't tried the img storage yet. It seems that the aviator storage squeezes them in. I just read a post in the Aviator section that stated to use 75 for most oin that.

How you can download images from your desktop? If I try to do it from my member control panel, then file manager it gives me an error message: " Error uploading file!! Please use the Browse..' button to select a file to upload." Does anyone have this problem?


This was reported on Monday and has been fixed for version 9.01 which hope to have out in a few days, have a few more little bits to sort through first.

The member delete tool is only available in the main forum and hidden away when you edit a users profile. The reason being is it is HIGHLY recommended that you do NOT delete members, and instead suspend members accounts.

Borg, thanks for your recommendation to not delete old members.
 
If you consider this delete facility should be a little hidden, would it not be better to have it in admin only with a much stronger 'are you sure' message that mentions suspensions instead of having it in the main forum?
 
Personally I think it should be in both places for consistency with a stronger message (or nowhere at all if there are referential integrity or other implications). If things stay as they are it might cause further confusion...

There are a number of issues with the new edit feature in the admin area for members, and both these will be looked into hopefully today, but with so many support questions currently coming in it maybe delayed till tomorrow.

The "Delete Member" checkbox is on this page:

register.asp
 
And NOT on this page:
 
admin_add_member.asp
 
The only page to which the Delete Member  should be available is within the Admin control panel pages; not the register page(s).
 
At that, it should be a button, not a checkbox.
 
At that, the button should present a new page which uses the CAPTCHA feature to require the Administrator to type in a word and then click "Delete Member".

Its not that serious. It should definitely NOT have to go through a CAPTCHA page. If you are that concerned about accidentally doing something you shouldn't, you should hand over your admin responsibilities to someone else.

Pretty soon we will all have to start entering a CAPTCHA code for everything we decide to "delete".

There has never been a delete option in the admin area, it has always been located in the same place when you edit a users profile in the main forum since about version 4 back 6 years ago! Until today it's never been an issue.

It's only since version 9 can you edit a users details from the admin area and this was only added for those using Windows Authentication who are unable to access it from the main frontend, and they don't need to have the delete function as they are using Windows Authentication.

Maybe it would have been simpler to only have had the option available for Windows Authentication users. Would have saved all the complaints, as you don't really need this option in the control panel as you have all the options and more available in the main forum.
