antiX forum change - tapatalk?

[fatmac]

Just signed up with my antiX forum credentials, so that I could join this conversation.

Someone on the antiX forum suggested we all team up here.

I'm not sure that is a good idea, as the thread/forum we have here is easily overlooked - we'd need to have a much bigger presence here for it to work.

But, if we did, MX could be known as the 'Mega antiX' distro, whilst keeping antiX full, base, & core.

Would the MX guys go for it?

Probably not, they like their link back to Mepis.

In my opinion, better to keep separate forums. Many antiX users do not use MX and vice versa, and I would guess neither would want to be inundated by posts from a distro they do not use. As far as MX hanging on to Mepis, not so much.

I don't see a problem with it myself at first glance.

We already have an antiX section on this forum, if they want to use that they can.
Personally I would like antiX forums and front page (a Wiki) their presence on the web in general to look a bit more professional...

Mega antiX?

The M was for Mepis, right? Just throwing this out

Has the "/etc" bug been fixed?

I tested and that has been fixed. I might also mention. When posting a youtube link. The video is now embedded onto our forum site using the tapatalk layout. Instead of just a link to click to go to youtube.

Linked videos displayed inline, right in the forum page?
Hooboy, I'm gonna have lots of fun putting that to use!

um, i meant to say:
Good to know! That feature sure will be useful when replying to help requests.

Embedded videos? Sheesh! I couldn't get it to attach a .png file. I use .png for screen shots because mine almost always contain text and jpeg can have difficulty with the sharp edges of the text and create artifacts. With .png I know it is WYSIWYG.
