We are new at this so please be patient while we tweak the site and the forums.

Thanks for reading and feel free to drop a note here to let us know what we could do better (or I guess say something nice as well :wink: ).

I guess I'll be the first to make a suggestion. Is there a way that you could have the forums open directly when you click the link? The extra step is slightly annoying, but surviveable.

Well, since we are giving suggestions, I use the "View posts since last visit" link, and while it shows the topics with new posts, it doesn't give a link to "View newest post" that jumps to the newest posts. I know that phpBB does support this, and it's something that makes reading the new posts much easier.

WadeJ · « **Reply #3 on:** October 06, 2005, 10:19:41 PM »

Will Do. I actually noticed the topic reply thing later today lol Now I just need to figure out how :? Also, there is a skin choice within your actual profile in case the theme bothers you.

As for the forum link, not a problem. I just had that page there as a place holder for the button until I was done setting up the forums but it can go now

tx guys

One suggestion from me Wade, could you get fast reply?

innervision · « **Reply #5 on:** October 07, 2005, 11:15:37 AM »

Hm, does PHBB support fast reply?

WadeJ · « **Reply #6 on:** October 07, 2005, 11:58:22 AM »

Home page link fixed...

Probably, you can mod the hell out of it.

stew560 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 04, 2005, 08:18:13 AM »

It turns out that it is just the default skin (One of the Gray ones) that doesn't support the "Jump to First Unread Post" thing. The "SubSilver" does support this. (Plus I like the colors better)

WadeJ · « **Reply #9 on:** November 04, 2005, 08:40:28 AM »

Thanks for the feedback Stew. I'm going to switch to that as well to see if its worth switching to that one as the default.

WadeJ · « **Reply #10 on:** November 04, 2005, 04:37:45 PM »

I also managed to add a method for image uploading. However, you must also use the SubSilver skin which is why that is now the default skin.

Dont know if you would want this or not but enabling html in the sigs would make for some interesting signiatures.

Like me being able to hotlink my picture :wink:

WadeJ · « **Reply #12 on:** November 10, 2005, 02:47:13 PM »

Um, already is on

Checkout Chucks sig

WadeJ · « **Reply #13 on:** December 06, 2005, 02:51:48 PM »

Just a fyi - it doesn't appear there is a way to enable HTML by default in every post you make. This is probably why signatures aren't linking all the time.

Try unchecking the box "Disable HTML in this post" to see if it makes any difference with your sig.

WadeJ · « **Reply #14 on:** December 16, 2005, 10:45:44 AM »

Many changes have been made to the main site including the re-addition of something

.

Check them out!

DianaR · « **Reply #15 on:** December 16, 2005, 11:13:38 AM »

Thanks Wade, looking good! I tried to get Gadv's powerpoint of Steve's service to load but, I don't have powerpoint

Do You? RCDB could be added to links as well?

WadeJ · « **Reply #16 on:** December 16, 2005, 11:19:39 AM »

Di, email me the slide and I'll convert it to the powerpoint webplayer...

And I"ll be sure to add rcdb.com

DianaR · « **Reply #17 on:** December 16, 2005, 11:29:07 AM »

OK Wade, maybe I'll have more time later when I am done doing my x-mas cards!

Diana<~~~The major procrastinator! :shock:

ChuckR · « **Reply #18 on:** December 16, 2005, 11:59:38 AM »

Haha, I haven't even starting chistmas shopping yet!

Deadman · « **Reply #19 on:** December 16, 2005, 10:24:28 PM »

Same, I have only boughten for 2 people... I have like 5 more to get for :shock: I like the new additions as well.

I just want to say you guys have done a great job with this site. It has a great foundation of people to build off of, and the discussion already on these boards have been fantastic. If we can repel what GADVCentral's downfall was (lack of activity) I think this site can be a VERY good place to post.

Again, good to be here and good to be around the people that were around me when I was first coming up (and a few others who have recently become friends).

Metsman. · « **Reply #21 on:** December 26, 2005, 06:03:59 PM »

^Ditto. You guys have done a fantastic job with this site already. And it's nice to post in a place with intelligent and well informed people for once :roll:

WadeJ · « **Reply #22 on:** December 26, 2005, 07:34:30 PM »

Thanks guys.. And thanks for bearing with us through our growing pains. Were gradually learning and improving as we go.

Hopefully members will start to notice some new things soon

blazzinmatt · « **Reply #23 on:** December 26, 2005, 11:32:49 PM »

Is that supposed to be a hint Wade?

chilled182 · « **Reply #24 on:** December 27, 2005, 12:34:00 AM »

oh well theres always something new that could pop up on the site, i think hes just saying that its always a work in progress.

Someone up there said it, nitro maybe.. and i agree. It is very nice to be able to belong to a website with the people that taught me everything i know. I didnt always know things, nor have good connections, nor be able to do awesome things like get into a commercial shoot or construction tour. Thanks to a bunch of the senior members, some of which who now run this site I have learned so much more than i would have ever imagined i would.
