horseUSA , do you think those dates can be fixed as well?

horseUSA · Jan 16, 2018

I don't know exactly what he's referring too. Once I do I can check.

Do you know the dates and examples of the issue?

Marcel · Jan 16, 2018

I think njaco is referring to a thread he made. It was a "this day 70 years ago" or something thread. Important there was that the date of the post was correct. Apparently some of those dates have changed with the migration.

horseUSA · Jan 16, 2018

Right. I'm just not sure the specifics. Once he replies and can check example posts etc. I'll know about the data and what's different

Marcel · Jan 16, 2018

Found one example, where Njaco aparently added the date in the post:
This Day in the War in Europe: The Beginning

horseUSA · Jan 16, 2018

This Day in the War in Europe: The Beginning

That one has date and wasn't edited.

I think what he might be referencing is the old forums allowed posts to have titles. The title was above the post. The new forums didn't allow that, so I had titles inserted as Bold on the first line of the post. That may be the confusion, the dates are now at the top of the post as opposed to a separate header line.

That could be, let's see what Chris says.

Visually it is different. They don't pop as much as separate titles. Hence the potential use of documents, which can have indexed sections.

I'm just happy that the photos and images seem to have been restored to their original size. Did you guys do that?

@T Bolt Njaco
Check those images they should all be full sized. Assuming caches were flushed properly

So I'm supposed to call my toilet a cache now?

Well tis yours of course so you be free to call it anything you likes especially if you are hiding or storing its contents away for future use??? Personally I call mine the Pou - Tay but we do actually hide its contents away in a large concrete box buried in the ground and eventually pump its overflow into the front yard where it keeps the grass very lush and green all summer long

Thanks for the reply David. I will continue to link pictures to other sites when convenient.

Njaco · Jan 18, 2018

As an example of missing dates: This page from the thread "This Day in Europe...." This day in the war in Europe 65 years ago

Although the date posted was Oct 2009, there was a date in a separate section that was pinned to the top of the post. When we changed, it went away. I have been going through these for some years trying to clean up and fix stuff.

parsifal · Jan 18, 2018

yes, I see now. That is a bit of an issue.

Njaco · Jan 19, 2018

Also has happened in the BoB thread. And the pics are now "attachments". This Day in the Battle of Britain

Marcel · Jan 19, 2018

Yeah, I noticed. Maybe you should discuss with David to see what can be done with the pictures.

horseUSA · Jan 19, 2018

I see. Let me look over those examples and try to figure what is the best action.
Something to make the process a bit more automated.

Thanks for the replies.

horseUSA · Jan 22, 2018

Njaco I see what you are saying about attachments and post headings

I can move those attachments as Full size at the bottom of the post. Would that be ok?

Also I can run some commands to change headings in the posts ex.
German: to Germany:
So that can be automated, which will mean don't ahve to edit.
Another thing I can setup is a date holder at the top of posts, which would make the edits easier. I can also look into setting up an automated editor for the dates.

Would you like me to implement any of these?

horseUSA · Jan 22, 2018

Another possibility would be to move the this day to a document. If you want I can copy some posts to a document and let you see if you like the format.
The nice thing is that it has a table of contents, whcih would work well with indexing the days as separate sections
