How do you delete drafts?

There should be a little x in the top right of the draft on the drafts screen, click that and it should vanish.

[couger1981 89]

Thanks found it :)

@Loore @justbiglee The youtube integration still needs some work, the tags still show when you post a video.

Can you explain in a bit more detail?

For me, if I just drop a YouTube link into a post it embeds it automatically and displays fine?

Not getting the twitter badge when i link twitter any ideas?

Only person that has it is Hatta because he's a dirty cheat, the Twitter badge isn't in use I'm afraid. I'd be interested in getting some feedback on the badge system If anyone has any? What others would you like to see etc?

Perhaps a badge for the following;

That's interesting, were you posting from a mobile? Or In HTML view?

[MBKF1 91]

I really like the mobile version of the forum. Is there any way of switching to it from my iPad? I can't type any messages on the full version there, and I use my iPad a lot, so I want to be able to easily switch to the mobile version. Thanks for any replies

The youtube linking didn't work for me if I didn't use the https:// at the start. Using a web browser, not mobile. 

For example:

Don't like the messages and notifications being mixed up, ending up with like 20+ notifications for each small message sent. Considering we have 10 people chats right now it's insane.

You can turn off various notifications in your profile. Go to Edit profile > notification preferences and tick/untick boxes as desired.

You need to put the http:// on the front for it to pick up:

HTML view

Ahhh, that'll be why. When in HTML view the forum will be expecting you to put the tags in place yourself (it's giving you control), in the 'regular' view it'll do the job for you.

Are you using desktop or mobile?

[couger1981 89]

Desktop

[MBKF1 91]

@Loore @Hatta @justbiglee Can any of you give me some info on whether it is possible to switch to the mobile version of the forum on a desktop or tablet device? I cannot type on the full version on my iPad, so I want to be able to switch to the mobile version. On the mobile version on my phone (automatically set like that) there is an option to go to the full version, but I can't find it the othe way around.

Not sure which model iPad you have, but try installing this; https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/user-agent-browser-simply/id414229165?mt=8

And then select a mobile agent in your browser when viewing this site?

[couger1981 89]

Can you change how we insert links, it sucks just to type a word highlight it then insert the link.

[Platy 6]

Haven't read the whole thread so this might have been posted before...

But a preview post option/button before you post a comment would be a nice addition. I'm sure if you've used forums before you know what I'm talking about. Being able to see if you have things correct in full view, check image sizes, etc. What we have now is alright, but I'd like to be able to see the whole post rather than have to scroll.
