Welcome to our new forum!

[Scott Jackson]

Can you give me a link to the thread where you got that alert? Thanks.

Thanks Scott, I checked and I get the same alert as you do. This actually seems to be a mistake, apparently I had set the forum so that anyone could download anything even when not logged in (so scratch what I said earlier).

Let me look into it. Thanks for pointing it out.

[David]

Ok I fixed it.

[Scott Jackson]

Thanks Scott, I checked and I get the same alert as you do.

Interestingly I could see some attachments but I've gotten that alert frequently with others.

For instance I was able to see ski's attachment here: viewtopic.php?p=447059#p447059

Thanks for pointing it out.

You're welcome.

[Scott Jackson]

Ok I fixed it.

Yup. I can now view that attachment even when logged out.

Strange though how I could see some but not all attachments even before you made the fix.

Cheers

Those are forum-based permissions, so somehow that forum didn't have that permission - it now does. The new forum software has a complex permission scheme, which is very flexible but a bit ... well.. complex to use. There are user based permissions, forum based permissions, group based permissions, permission roles, permission masks, etc etc...

Ah! Well that explains it then.

Thanks for the fix David.

[David]

No problem. Thanks for pointing out the issue.

Safari is real fast on the forum, os x and iPad1 both work very well...
looks amazing.. pleasure to use

[David]

Thanks guys, very encouraging.

The forum runs smooth using safari, really responsive. The previous version of safari menu had clear cache and reset safari and got used regularly, now the menu has only reset safari.
I don't select all of the items in the reset cache menu
Everything runs very nice but does this "cleaning" change the colour codes used in the forums?
The colours are a cool feature and i don't want to reset them all the time, just when needed.

For some reason I do not always get an email notice about new posts on threads that I have posted on. I have not clicked the "Unsubscribe Topic" link.

And it appears that I am not the only one.

I have that too, sometimes, though it is mostly that I get only one notification when two or more posts have been made within a short time.
About this one I did get a notification, even though it's been a while...
Did you in turn get notified about this one, Scott?

[Scott Jackson]

Did you in turn get notified about this one, Scott?

Yes.

I believe that if you receive an email notification about a new reply, and do not click the link in that email that makes you log-in in order to see the reply, the forum software has no way of knowing you read that reply. And if it doesn't know you read the reply it assumes you're no longer interested in receiving email notifications, so it stops sending them.

Hmm. That may be the case but I have been using the link which does not make you sign in since the new forum was introduced and I know that I have been getting email notices for many (or maybe even most) of the replies.

I'll test it over the next week or so and see if I can confirm your suspicion David.

Thanks.
