Cool blue and new features
« on: December 27, 2006, 06:48:19 PM »
Do you guys like the new look? Many new features added like the search bar at the top right hand corner,thumbnail pictures, look around and make a choice.

Some new features are added like this

 Hello Robert Storick  December 27, 2006, 09:54:01 PM
 
 
you have 0 messages, 0 are new.

> Show unread posts since last visit.
> Show new replies to your posts.
 
It will show the unread posts since you were last on line. Also notice the pictures. They have been added as thumbs for you guys on dial up. Please remember I am looking at all the users in the world that come here,everyone is not on DSL or cable. Click on it and it will open full size. But you can also insert them into you post just as before.One other thing on pictures, before some got messages like you must change the name of the picture as the same name is on file.Well now you can use the same file name for all pictures you upload (if you wanted) because the software encrypts the files and changes the file names. There is only one draw back to this, it will make it hard to rebuild the data base should come catastrophe happen. I will worry about that if it happens.

How to use the buddy list: Click on the persons name you want to add. In the profile of the person it will say add buddy, click there. To find your buddy instantly at the bottom of the main page where it shows all users on line it will say (Buddies on line) click there and a list will open. This is not to important right this minute 10:00 on 12-28 but tonight we will have instant messaging on this site. So if you need to talk to your buddy give him a shout. A new instant message window will open up and you can hold a conversation with him live. ( hard work but enjoy)

For all the Moderators of the boards. If you will notice on a post that someone makes there will be a pen and paper to the right. Click on that and it ill edit the post so you can use spell checker or the banned words list.

On the spell checker you must allow pop ups for this site to let it work. It is the ONLY pop up we will ever have here. It checks the whole post at once not word by word. Give it a try,I know its better this way. :!

Let me know what you think? How do you guys like the NEW notification page to the left on the first page. I think its easer to see now. I will be tweaking some more things as I go.

Robert: I think it looks great, and bigger print on the replys sure helps the eyes.

Robert;

As usual it was well worth the wait. I keep saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it" but as far as all your hard work and dedication go it just doesn't apply. Another OUTSTANDING job. Kudos to you and all who were involved.

Hey "HARRY" at our age we no longer get "OLD" just a little "OLDER" there is a differance. (I THINK)

Forum updates and features are part of keeping up with the Jone's  na#. Just trying to give everyone the best place on the planet to hang out. We are not even a year old yet and have had over a million and a half page views. The next big add-on will put us over the top!  o2oP

Liked it for the first 30 minutes.  Makes it hard to read some posts.

Otherwise, the other changes are great.

Before anyone disregards this format, this is a trial run and I can adjust what is not liked later. But I have to tell you it looks as though we are going to keep this format. The ease of moderation and the picture options, spell check feature,icons, security,news letters,IM system,Chat room and much more. Just give it a chance to grab hold I will adjust it accordinly.

As most know we have been attacked before. This new system will make it harder for the perp's of the internet. Our data is more secure.

Robert,

Your board, your choice. I doubt that anyone will drop out because of the format. Heck, I'd guess most of us are just thankful for the board...regardless of format!

Thank you.

I thank you George but I am trying to accommodate everyone in the world (hard job but someone has to try) pretty big job don't you think? I have made phone calls to some on this site to get input. This is our site not just mine. I do have the final say but unlike an island to myself I do listen to our members. So if anyone has concerns or problems please air them so I can address the situation first hand. I will do my best to make it right for the whole group.

I didn't realize how big a undertaking this web site  would become when I started it. Trust me on this were are taking the world by storm! But my motto is if we're going to do something let's do it right the first time.

Robert...when I took over our club's website, it was suggested that I should add a forum. My reply was "Then, you'd need to find another webmeister, 'cause I'd be gone!".  I'll send another donation. But right now, I've gotta send in an oversized truck payment...the sooner I get it paid off, the sooner I can start collecting SS$. I'll see what's left.  LL~  Steve

Did you just add the flag"" on the section heads for "NEW" That helps tons, my puter at work has very poor contrast and I had trouble telling which sections had new messages before. Now its a cake walk

Robert, the new layout looks and works for me.  If you try to please everyone in this world you will wind up in the loony bin.  I say that as there is always some stinker that will disagree with the majority even if it helps them.  DOC Holliday
