Title image selection for the gallery

Post by Tailmaker »

I was wondering, how the forum software selects the title image for the gallery. I just posted a new thread with numerous pictures and the forum picked the most meaningless one somewhere from the middle. Can that be controlled?
I thought it would pick the first one but apparently, I am mistaken

Good question. For yours it the one whose file name is alphabetically first. But that doesn't hold true for the 1940 & 1969 trucks or the Barrette.

It might be the order that the browser uploads them when attaching the files.

When one has antiquated software running a forum, one can't expect modern features. :cry:

Maybe we all need to put in a feature request to upgrade the forum :lol: :lol:
Having said that I have been on forums where a lot of people initially complained when changes were made :lol: :lol:

Status Quo is what it is called. The new folks spend time elsewhere; the rest are forum regulars.

It doesn’t change because there’s no advantage to Vectric.

I’m not complaining; no not me. 😏

So where are all these new folks spending their time? Given the number of people who come here asking for help as the forums for their machines are dead I think this one is doing quite well.
