Hi - Laurie here, long time no post. For those that don't know, I help with the site. 😉 😎

Been making some changes, and as you can see, emojies are now available... 🔥👏👀

Want to try it out, and help me shake the bugs out of things / give your feedback?

If so, visit seabreeze.com.au/Members/JoinTheBeta (you need to be a member)

Don't change the weather. Since the BOM site self- destructed I go to seabreeze for all weather info. It's all on one page. On tidy graphs. It would take forever to burrow through the BOM sites and do the same.

I didn't get the promised email

Maybe as you suspect I only wanna see if there is an eggplant emoji to use in the kiters exclusion zones threads...?

3rd fail, I successfully pasted an image into here, but posting it gave me a site down message.



In case it's relevant I'm using firefox in linux mint.

So this is the pic that crashed the site when pasted into the reply box. I was wondering why this big empty space?

I can't see the bottom of the page, but if you haven't done it, a return to active topics button would be nice there, it would save scrolling back to the top.

Woops, I see the "back to Top" button, good stuff.

So how do you want issue reported Laurie? the 'report a bug' function?

Active topics page doesn't show forum titles

Got a special forum for you: www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/General-Discussion/Beta-Testing
If using a modern browser on phone or desktop, there should be a "Report Bug" tab at the bottom right.

Bombed out just then when I posted.


Buy/section section looks broken. (Windsurfing > sails, is empty. No listings).



Inserts extra lines in my post.

Last post only has avatars. OK if you are familiar with all of them, but I preferred names and date time.
