I'll be upgrading the forum in a few weeks. Giving you a heads up now so by the time I do it, most regulars should know about it.

Comes with the ability to uploads videos directly into threads and posts. My server guy isn't too happy about that. Bandwidth will skyrocket. Ha

Due to the lack of trust of facebook and Google (YouTube) who datamine. We will be avoiding most of their services. And for ads, we will anonomize all your IPs and connection points. Like a VPS router would at home.

We will be removing the login using facebook Twitter and Google. So we keep your data with us.

Those of you in Facebook groups really need to consider what data you post on Facebook in general. It's freakishly weird how much they collect.

So this next change will largely be around securing your data with us. Never sharing it. And the immense amount of features the new software come with in the box is cool as hell. More on that later.

Hugs and kisses.

Lovely. That explains the radio silence mate.
 
Cheers both

Is this GDPR related or do you just not trust Facebook/Google etc? I’m a fellow sceptic but I kind of think the genie is out of the bottle now. I also kind of like having adverts for stuff I may actually buy rather than Saga cruises and female hygiene products.

Hiya Dan has been super busy upgrading TF today, EF and UKPF will be done in the next few weeks. It will make the forum easier to use and your data more secure. If you want to see what it will look like, TilersForums.co.uk is up and running now but still being worked on.

I've got a lot of data regarding the Google ads now so will remove most of them for you guys on the staff, and also the members who post the most. Long-term that type of user goes ad-blind anyway, and it's just more scrolling around for nothing. And the Cost-Per-Click ratio reduces so we...

Wow. That thread went off topic there. Thread removed to be cleared up and put back. Poor new member got hounded unfairly then. I've deleted the user fully now. No bans for him. Those can be lifted in the future and to be honest I don't want that kind of person on the forum anymore. I apologise...
