When I click on a pic using internet explorer on my desktop all I get is a black screen. Can see them fine in Chrome on my desktop or Safari on my iPad but since I mostly use ie on my desktop it is a problem for me.

So, I just learned that some of my pics only show as attachments even though when I uploaded them, the pics were visible...but now they are just listed as attachments. :doh: I deleted the photos from my computer.

Hi Marsha. I still trying to get acclimated to this new platform. I miss the old one.

Long time, no see. :wavey:

Everyone misses the old platform, there are quite a few bugs that still need to be crushed. Right now, I'm having issues (along with other people) about the banner ads taking up the screen and zooming me out on my subs... And pretty much everything else. It's beyond annoying.

Johnson's baby oil and baby bath are now getting on my nerves. *inserts side eye*

I've gone through and logged all of the outstanding issues users are experiencing in the feedback thread which mostly seem to be related to the way images are uploaded and ads.

Our technology admin will be reviewing the document as soon as possible to address the lingering issues from the forum transition so that we can finalize the migration work.

I would apologize for advertising but the truth is I can't. The site needs to at least cover it's own costs (server, our technology admin who is vital to keeping the database stable and developing user features) so that we can continue to bring you a collaborative and updated place to hang out with friends. With that being said advertising is a necessary evil for that purpose. Premium memberships will always be available as an alternative to supporting the site while keeping your experience ad free.

Also, I just want to say thanks to everyone for being so supportive. It's been an incredibly stressful time for me both personally (why does all the bad sh!t happen at the same time?) and professionally (at the day job) and I'm sorry for the time it's taking to resolve these issues but you all are my family and I'm happy to have you all share to share Specktra with, we WILL get through this rough transition patch.

Those of you who donated to the site during our fundraiser will have your premium memberships active by the end of the day. We are still working on the flag to remove advertising for premium members but as soon as our Tech Admin is back from a short break it will be fixed up.

For transparency the person who I was initially working with for supporter badges fell through after I followed up a few times, but the good news is I found someone who I am VERY excited about and have approached them asking if they would take on the project. :D I'll continue to keep you updated on that as we go along.

It's good to have Specktra back. A lot of us understand that there are a few bugs on the website, that still need crushing. But either way, I still love Specktra no matter what.

Hi all, finally finding time to catch up. Im in the process of updating my sale thread and notice I still can't update the thread title, is that just me? I originally thought it was under the main post under advanced but that only changes it for that particular post title.

I'm also missing that mini preview of each post on the outside of the main thread details, that way you can see what someone added without having to open it

Clearing cache solved my problems with editing posts and viewing pics for exactly one time of each and then I was back to square one, being unable to edit posts ( they go blank when I click on edit) or enlarge pics on my desktop with ie11. Also still having problems typing on my desktop with letters and spaces not being recognized resulting in a jumbled mess. Haven mentioned having the same problem typing in the Tom Ford thread but I don't have info re her device or browser.

Anyway, basically the site is unusable on my desktop using ie11 unless I just want to read, and do so without viewing pics. I typed this on my iPad.

Is Specktra the only site you've got this issue with?
