Are you still seeing that NOW BH? Can you check for me.

[burroughill]

Yup still just goes over onto the next line

[admin]

Ok ta BH – must be a browser/device specific thing as it looks ok here.

[burroughill]

Who says TAPK is the only legend on here, hope you cashed in!

Well done, great tipping THM worth waiting for, wish I’d seen this earlier.

Thanks for the smileys David, the site is beginning to sparkle again .

I mentioned earlier the ‘Color That Site’ add-on for Firefox

Well, here’s the TRF site modified to my liking

The actual red is a darker maroon than on the screenshots below; otherwise damn good, I’m sure you agree!

nb: six edits required as there still isn’t a ‘Preview’ option prior to posting. Very useful it is, especially when on a learning curve

I personally find the “grey” a little too strong at the front-end – where all the various sections are listed – Horse Racing, Topical Racing Discussions, etc.

[admin]

I’ve lightened that grey up one shade Matron – let me know what you think

[Matron]

Yes, that is much easier on-the-eye.

On a positive note, I have noticed that when you paste a link from Youtube into a post it now embeds the video into the post. Previously it was just a link to the Youtube page containing the video.

For example, there’s this video of some cuddy called Fog Hene or something. Any good this fellow?

I’m happy with this anyway.

Having said that, it hasn’t worked the way it did on the Cheltenham thread a few minutes ago

Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

“NOTE: some videos (Racing UK videos for example) do not allow embedding”

No, will not work for the above.

‘How to’ embed videos and photos here https://theracingforum.co.uk/forums/topic/new-site-user-generated-help/

[stevecaution]

I was never able to embed videos before and was just pleased it had happened without my intervention. Must admit to being a bit lazy with learning these features unless it’s absolutely essential. Thanks

Cheers, Cormack. Reads much better with darker borders between individual posts. Bigger usernames displaying fine here. Appreciate all your hard work. One other small thing…any chance of making a favicon for the bookmarks folder?

[admin]

I’ll find out..

a) what a favicon is and
b) if we can do it
