The Military Aviation part was already slowing down considerably before September 2019. And it is not really picking up so far.
The Fly Past / Historic Forum actually IS picking up steam again, slowly. More and more contributions over the last few days, in spite off the current persistent problems.
BUT: I would now really like to see the restoration of certain functions.
-The embed-function for Youtube clips, for example.
Yes, I can do it, but no, it is not easy. I want that “embed-icon/button” back, and sharpish, too. ❗️?
Also the “PreView-function” ❗️ has not yet surfaced again. Not having that function before actually clicking on “post” is rather a nuisance. Has even more of a priority than the “video-embed-function”.
It seems some subjects -or messages can be edited after posting, but some cannot. ?
Plus, there is still BobKat’s list.
Mirror page numbers on top and bottom of page (to avoid scrolling down) – I’ll check on this and come back to you
Remove (or reposition) ‘Privacy settings’ tag when use of Cookies approved – I’ll check on this and come back to you
Content of My Account (historic private messages/photos) lost – They’re not lost. Scheduled for a later update as theres a fair amount of work to do on this.
Reinstate ‘subscribed’ threads and e-mail messages for new posts – Should be released in the next update
Edit function on own posts (being worked on in response to jeepman’s post today, but first raised some while ago) – Is being worked on
Show number of views of thread and uploaded photos – Scheduled for a later update
Restoring numbering of posts – Scheduled for a later update
The year 2020 is now a week old.
If by the 1st of February 2020 some of the above have not been restored/there are not tangible new results -and there is no noticeable steady progress as well,
then people had better vote with their feet.
Yes, this is some sort of a deadline. This has been going on for three months now. Patience is running thin on the east side of the North Sea/The Channel, not to mention the UK…
…Unless Key Publishing wants everyone to run off to UKAR / UK Airshow Review, of course… The new “Historic Forum” over there is really picking up speed, now.
The clock is ticking ❗️
