Due to security problems, you now have to embed youtube videos using bbcode. 1. Open a reply box 2. Click on this icon (you will see that icon above the box you are typing your reply in.) 3. Then simply add the youtube url and click enter. Its a lot easier and quicker. If you find youtube videos that you cannot scroll past, please report the post. Old Youtube videos If you have a youtube video in your signature or posts, please edit it to this new method.

We have now introduced the option to use forum banner adverts on a "pay by the impression" basis. Rates are just 1000 Baht for 20,000 impressions with discounts available for higher volumes taken (just ask). Ideally it is suited to Parties and Events but all applications are welcome. If you have a party, event, promotion, crawl or are just looking for short term branding for a bar, hotel or website please send me a PM. Notes The banners show forum wide - that means they will show to members and guests alike (5,000 people + per day) They can be linked or un-linked. We will happily help with this. They can be "responsive" in that they conv…

If for some reason you would like your board name changed i.e. you joined the forum but didn't fully understand the concept of the site, so joined as jfs486043 wanting to not give anything away, then realising its a totally friendly place & you see other guys board names, then want to change yours to something different. Providing the name isn't already taken, PM (personal message) me & I'll change it for you, or PM one of my fellow admin. cheers Dale aka sexy beast

An important feature of the forum software is the report button on every post. This feature is used to bring potential problems to the attention of the moderators. It's possible that a potential problem can be over looked by a moderator or not dealt with quickly. Please use the button to bring to our attention any post or situation you feel is out of order. When a post is reported a PM is sent to every moderator so it will get looked at. For anyone who does not know how to use the report feature here is where to find the button and how to use it. The image below shows where the button can be found. Once the button is clicked you will go to another page and be…

Trusted members have the use of the shoutbox, normal members can't see or use this facility. To expand the shoutbox, hover the mouse over the area which I have indicated with the red line. Your mouse arrow will turn to a double ended pointer, then left click and drag down. When you move to another page, the shoutbox will stay the same size. In addition you can click on the white "Pattaya Addicts Chat" to get the shoutbox in full and there is more shouts available in there.

I'm posting here because I lost all access to the other forum. I'm hoping someone from the other forum will see or maybe that someone active on the other forum will be able to pass on the message to the mods over there. Essentially, the reCAPTCHA program they're using is having major issues with their site and it's preventing anyone from registering and existing members from changing their email address. I tried to change my address to a new one and it appears it's one of the providers that block their domain name. So now I'm stuck in eternal limbo. Thank for any help you can provide.

Howdy - if you read the announcement you will have noted that we are moving the forum to another host. Hopefully this will give us more speed and reliability and more support for technical issues. Note that from moving our sister sites, way smaller in size, we guess at least 24hrs to shift the databases. That is an estimate, if everything goes well, but it may take longer. When we return can any issues you experience be posted here? Cheers

i was using the dark theme on PA in the past and got really used to it and liked it much better than the default bright vanilla theme. since the last update, my theme changed to the default one. is there a way to still use the dark theme? i don't remember how / where i enabled it... i feel like it worked via a selection at the bottom of the page (either the "language" dropdown or a different one next to it), but i might be completely wrong on this. i set it up a few years ago and really liked it. i looked for it in my account settings, but couldn't find it. maybe it's gone, maybe i'm just not seeing a setting. thanks.

There is so much good information shared here in various forms, either via trip reports, or feedback to questions from fellow BMs. I wondered however if there would be some value in nominating and voting on certain things on an annual basis, so that there would be a baseline set of recommendations for newbies and veterans alike? Voting could be done annually so that places that lower their standards would drop or be removed, and new places that deliver well have a chance to be included. By doing it annually, it may not be a burdensome thing to administrate for the Team either? Specifically I was thinking these topics could be of interest: According to voting by …

For a week or more I find PA slow and unresponsive. Not always, but an almost unuseable portion of the time. Mainly if it needs to refresh the unread content list. Also when clicking on a topic. Chrome browser. It will be a minute or more to refresh, progress bar sits at about 5%. About 1 in 5 times it happens. All other internet apps fine, fibre internet connection which is fine.

I just replied to a post in the Cambodia section asking about accommodation / hotels in Phnom Penh. When I posted my reply the word "hotels" (plural) did not display. I reloaded the page in a separate tab and still the word did not display. When I went to edit my reply the word "hotels" was still there. I changed the word order and saved the changes. Still the word "hotels" didn't show in the post. I had to change the word to "accommodation" and save the changes again. 😕 I notice that any mention of "Hotel" singular automatically gets changed to "hotel", underlined with a link. Somehow it drops the plural of the word altogether in the displayed post. Can …

I found them useful as it gave a bit of an insight that the BM who commented probably knows how the forum works or not, and where their comment might be coming from. They no longer appear….IPad IPhone….have they been snowflaked or has an upgrade removed them by accident? Can we get them back? Is it just me?

I use TOT fiber at home, and this board, like TV which uses the same service provider, wont load over half the time. I can reach them if I turn on vpn, even if the vpn server I use is in Thailand, so it seems to be a problem between invision and TOT. Another member mentioned the same when this was going on a few months ago. Maybe you could ask invision to see whether they've looked into this? BTW it's funny, I'll get a message on the error screen saying "your computer - working, cloudflare - working, Pattaya Addicts - not working." Same message when this is going on with TV, saying TV is not working. LOL. It's cloudflare that's not working.
