Title: Admin Contact
Post by: angrybear on May 10, 2023, 05:11:07 PM
Maybe I'm blind, but I cannot see a general "contact admin" type of button/link, do we have such a thing ?
I was asked, via another forum, by a member who can't log in, to pass his details to admin, so an obvious way to do so would be handy, rather than have to PM a particular person.
Just a thought.

Added a contact form now for this very purpose.  You'll find a Contact button above in the main menu.  ;)

Maybe they don`t know your email or any other email to the admin team Mick,

would it not be better to add a contact admin icon and list it in the admin team area.

just a thought,...i`m moving soon going to get busy moving and building a summer house too.

I set it so it posts the contact form request to the admin board when it get filled in by anyone including guests.  Generally you wouldn't want guests being able to email you, that would be crazy imo.  All admins will be able to see those requests as they come in.

I added the mod, you guys just need to create a dedicated board for it, then we can point the contact request to that one.

I added a dedicated board myself.  Adjust as required.  ;)

I'm guessing you're using mobile.  Click the hamburger menu, then instead of clicking "Forum" scroll down and you should see "Contact"

Being a total luddite can I also ask, when attaching pics how do I add it as a thumbnail ?
when I upload it says "auto" size but that posts the pic full page size.

You using mobile? or Desktop?

I'm on a desktop, Win 11 - Edge browser.

OK, sussed it,
I can see the contact link under "Home", but not under "Forums".  ???
Oh, now I've gone back to forums & it is there ?

So now it's just getting back to thumbnails rather than full page pic's

Remind me what issue you're having please.

Thanks Lurk,
I'm sure it's obvious to those that know IT.

I type a post & want to add pic's, as per Troopers MFR thread,
 
so I click "attachments & other options" - click add files, select the pic's, click open & the pic appears under attachment, click upload, the pic loads, and I get the option to insert or delete with the pic size saying "auto",
When I insert it the pic goes in as full page size, when I would prefer it to be a thumbnail that the viewer can open if they want to, which I think better on a forum, I just cannot see how to insert the pic as a thumbnail.

You could just upload them but don't click insert, click post instead. That will add all the thumbs below the post. https://www.youtube.com/@TGMForum

Fake grass, you traitor.  :o   ;D  So you'll need to hoover it, and squeegee it clean instead.  ;)   

Yep my on the bench pics were just for example purposes, and can be removed if you wish.

But if you're curious how they turned out, these are after I serviced them.

I just put this in the Suggestion Box......
I thought it would help the non-computer literate Rapid Airgunner..
Even though you have that great splash page on the Contact page.....
But there are some, who are overwhelmed by the whole computer thing.....Just don't read it!!
It is amazing when helping my clients..having to ask, " what did the Pop-Up say before you clicked on the Button!"
