Ask Ashley Or Brandin

Post by Admin1 »

Our move to a new hosting service is complete. We will NOT be forced to move to Tapatalk. Our new hosting service is Envesko Services.

Ashley was a great help in getting our forum moved and set up quickly. He is a web designer with a great deal of knowledge and experience.

He said we could ask questions in his introduction post, so I'm setting up this topic for us to ask those questions.

Here's my first question - how do users upload their previous avatars since they weren't carried over?

The same way as the old board but it seems the option has been disabled :x Go to the ACP > Avatar Settings and configure them to your hearts content :D It might be advised to assign me founder permissions to my account so I can check various things and ensure everything is correct ;)

Avatars enabled and got my Admin uploaded. Now, I'll upload my HiddenHollow avatar that I use for regular posting.

Here is my HiddenHollow avatar.

Sorry guys, but you will have to re-upload your avatars. This is a newer version of phpBB software and the avatars don't carry over. If you need help, like getting your previous avatar from the old forum, let us know.

Okay, you might wish to increase the upload limit, 6KB seems a bit stingy ;)

I believe ProphpBB was set at 50KB
