Deletion of Smileys

Using Jamroom

I hope no one minds if I add here a couple of other things that 'smileys' used to do well, but no longer do over the past year or so:
1) used to be able to drag a smiley to a different place in the text editor box, while you were composing a post. Like if you wanted your smiley to be at the end of an earlier sentence instead of at the end of a paragraph for example. No longer possible to drag the smiley to a new position.
2) Used to be able to add multiple spaces after a smiley, to create a longer space after the smiley and before the next sentence in the same line (for added emphasis)...OR to create more space between smileys if you have several in a row. I think it's not possible to add more than maybe one space now after a smiley.Lots of my animated smileys look really crowded unless i put several spaces between them.

Can jamroom work without mailgun?

Zachary, open a support ticket on mailgun- I have found they are pretty prompt about responding to support tickets- usually within a few hours. They seem fairly helpful when i have had mail problems,

Important TinyMCE upgrade in Jamroom Core 6.4.0

Announcements

Ok, this is weird Paul- the editor WAS forcing the default text size as 22pt right after my applying updates (see my prior "after" screenshot above from three weeks ago). But now it seems to be at a default size of 12pt instead. I swear I didn't make any changes or updates since that 22pt was showing!

So looks like that default size is fine now.
Sorry to trouble you. TinyMCE will get 'fixed' eventually when people complain about their huge icon buttons.. and the fix will come through from jamroom at that time without my having to do anything special. All good!
Thanks, and 'solved'!

Important TinyMCE upgrade in Jamroom Core 6.4.0

Hi Brian and thanks for getting back to me on this. I've been otherwise busy focusing my attention on 'new computer migration' issues.

I hear you that we'll just have to wait for TinyMCE to fix the icon size issue in their next update. (and I can't believe they made their icons so big they're now like clown shoes)

My questions:
1) will the fix get applied automatically for me in my Jamroom site? (or will I have to figure out when it occurs and how to apply it to my site when it does)
and
2) Do you see in my "after" screenshot above- how the TEXT in the typing window is now at 22pt (compared to 14pt for published posts on my sites)... is there anyplace for me to make the editor's text size smaller by default while composing a post?- or is that the same story as with the icons...that I'll just have to wait and hope TinyMCE does something about it?

Once I know these two answers I can prepare to proceed with the gazillion latest updates waiting on my two sites.

ALSO:
I'd like to also note that on the new tinymce editor window, the icons are twice the size that they used to be as well, so the navigation strip they reside on is also twice as tall... AND on my site it now wraps to TWO lines instead of one. The end result is that the icons/buttons strip now takes up four times as much vertical space... which will be a big pain in the butt especially for folks with small screens.
see the following before and after screenshots (from my two different sites, only one of which I've applied all the new updates to):

I'm noticing something I'd like to fix up in the editor after applying all the latest updates (on my pennywhistle site only).
On my FOTMD site (which has not been updated yet), the tinymce editor window where one types OR edits posts has the default type size of either 12 or 14 (I forget which)... which matches what one sees in the final post.
But on the whistle site after all updates, the editor window when composing or editing a post now has the default text size as 22... which looks jarringly huge. Once you actually publish what you wrote, it appears in the correct site-wide size I chose for discussion posts.

I can't remember where I would go to change this tinymce default setting...? (i seem to recall it was in an admin core or module somewhere, maybe on the server) Or is this an unintended tinymce change that needs correcting for everyone?
Thanks

Install updates

Using Jamroom

For what it's worth, I just applied all the current updates on one of my 2 JR sites, seemed to go fine.
Because there were so many updates, i did it like this:
If there's aCore update first, i run that and then do an integrity check.
Then I did half the updates, ran another integ check, then finished all the updates and ran a final integ. check.
Also, I always click one update at a time. I find it's always better than clicking the "update all" button.

Thanks you guys!

question on new Password RESET button

Using Jamroom

Thanks Douglas!
I just wonder though- if I try testing this on my own site, using 'test members' I've created- would the system maybe not send out a notice because it 'knows' those members were created by me (an admin) ? I had that issue once before with some detail that I can't remember now- the system didn't respond the same when i did something with my test member, as it would if I did something with a real member that i had not created.
I imagine it's hard to get someone to go along with this test because it would expose them (however briefly) to my being able to read their private messages.
