Is there directions on how to post pics - for idiots?

Is there directions on how to post pics - for idiots?

I think the main issue with posting pics is apparently a lot of people used drag/drop to post images from other sites and there is a known bug with the editor in the current version of this software that can prevent that for some devices and operating systems.

CowboysZone does not host images for legal reasons, so you have to host images on a site/service that allows off-site linking (ex: Imgur).

I do not have any issues posting images because I just upload them to imgur, right click on the image and copy the image url (not the address bar url) and then click the photo icon in the editor on CZ and copy/paste the image URL there.

When the drag/drop editor bug is fixed in the software and a new version released I will update the site and hopefully that will resolve it.

Until then there is nothing I can do to make drag/drop work, at least for the people it is not working for now.

I will attempt that, lol.
Thank you.

It worked!

I thought (and still might) making the default avatar something way worse than Rowdy

Stephen?

I think the alert bell if you HOVERED would show the recenet likes only but if you clicked would show ALL likes. It doesn't do the hover thing now if that makes sense.

When you like a post, the thumbs up icon turns blue and stays that way unless you unlike it.

Stephen?

The son looks kinda goofy

It's still hard to notice. Once I figure out how best to handle the reaction system, I will try to improve how it appears.

@Reality
For reasons unknown to me I’m no longer seeing tweets that are posted.
I can see the posts themselves, but there’s just a big blank space where the tweet should be.
Any tips?

So far I like it ...... Easier to get to sections than it used to be

I really do not know what to suggest to you. The only idea I have is that either you have javascript disabled or your browser does not support them for some reason.

Now that the move to new software and new servers has been completed and I have designed the still-work-in-progress Light theme for the site, what are your thoughts on it so far?


Common Questions

*** NOTE: I will continue to add questions and answers here as they get asked multiple times.

Why did you upgrade now?
We were having issues with a couple of things and the older software and servers were limiting our ability to add new features that we have planned.

Are you done with the new site design?
No, not even close. I keep finding things that need to be updated or improved.

Will there be a dark theme?
Yes, once everything else gets settled, I will work on creating a dark theme for the site.

Will there be a chatroom like the old site had?
Yes, we will be adding a new chatroom system, but it will be a few days before we work on that.

Will member stats be added back below the avatar/username/title area of thread posts?
Yes, hopefully. It will have to be manually implemented so it will depend on what is available and possible.

as long as we have a chance of getting Avatars back i love it

Avatars never left. I see your avatar fine.

Glad to know the chatroom will return. Have to figure out what to do without it during the game today.

so so so TOTALLY...love the chat-room on game day....my football-game day feed is 3 minutes behind real-time...so often i would just stay in chat-room hoping to see good news and not bad news...i think its because

Ahh .. those are coming back!

All of the LOF benefits have been active the whole time, but I have had to wait on the LOF badges until I get the main design and layout completed before I can put them in.

That said, I hope to get them added back in either later today or tomorrow.

We tested the new chatroom (and it is completely new) yesterday and it should be back online either today or tomorrow.

Definitely before game day, not to worry!

I have noticed I can't see anyone's signatures. I don't have adblockers on on this site. I can only see signatures on mobile, in landscape mode.

Signatures are disabled because they have been causing issues and I have not been able to track down the problem.

It is my plan to get them back online in the near future.
