Blog for Build Threads

Matt

I'm currently testing a new addon for the forum, which has a lot of potential to be used for Build Threads and Projects.

I've been converting one of my old build threads to blog entries, and it's looking and working really nice.

If anyone wants to help me test this, please let me know, and I'll upgrade your account to have access to it.

Thanks Pete. I've upgraded the permissions for the Regular Members group, so you, and anyone else with 150+ posts will now have access to the Blog section.

I've also updated the Blog addon to the latest version, and made a couple of changes.

Looks good. Might have to have a look at that on the laptop 🙂

Excuse my forum ignorance, but does this mean that I would have to do a 150 posts on here before I could start a blog?
My Astra is in a bit of state at the minute, and the idea of doing a blog as I get back to its previous beauty would be awesome!!

LOL, I've been converting some of my old ones, and there isn't a streamline process at the minute. You have to split the individual posts out into a new thread, and then convert the new thread to a Blog Entry.

Loving the blog style entries Matt. Really interesting way to see how people are doing things. Carl, appreciate it would take you a lifetime to do all yours but would be good.
