did the new posts link disappear?

[GSELLERS1245]

very nice charlie...it will take me a bit to search through all the features but ill put my feedback in when i can.....
jbx. the new post button is still there :)

[jxb647]

oh i guess i can't see it for some reason... nm if thats the case

[reeflounge_admin]

you might need to login to see the new post button but it is on top :)

any suggestions are welcome

what do you guys thing about the expanded template its wider might be better for todays bigger monitors :)

[reeflounge_admin]

One other cool feature is having the photo album in your control panel

Example:

http://reeflounge.com/album.php?albumid=2

you can upload the photos to your photo album and use the code at the bottom of each image to embed it into your posts :)

[GSELLERS1245]

charlie i have my computer hooked up to my 42" flatscreen lcd hd....man it rocks!!!
would there be any way to increase the size of the photo album bigger than 600x600? my camera dont take small pics :)

[Irisservice]

LOL,glenn how big you want them ...
geeze never happy

[GSELLERS1245]

i dunno :)

[reeflounge_admin]

well i think it is set to 600 x 600 to prevent them from being to be to big to display into the forum.

but i will check :)

[BLAKEJOHN]

The wider format is nice, just made me dizzy for a few moments. I'll have to check into the rest. As glenn said a size bigger than 600x600 would be great maybe 800 if it feasible.

[Arati]

Looks great thanks. <3 this site!

I am curently catching up on some reading and I just got a good idea for you, if you are are readind a bunch of new posts when you get done with each one of them you have to scroll back to the top of page to get back to the new posts button or any other button for that matter so I thought I would suggest putting a bar at the bottom of each page as well.

BTW I like the new way thumbnails open, good job so far.

[GSELLERS1245]

I like the new security settings and mod options too

[jxb647]

it must be me... i just can't see that link... it drives me nuts having to go through each section to see unread posts:(

[Europa]

What browser are you using? Can you see the other links at the top? If so, just go to -> search -> find new posts.

[jxb647]

thanks europa thats the link i was talking about... works like a charm :)... and running IE 6

[GSELLERS1245]

go to microsoft.com and download IE7 looks alot cooler and imo functions alot better

[jxb647]

can't change it at work :)

[Europa]

Or better yet, get Mozilla Firefox :)

[Spyder]

Opera is the browser that I perfer, I love the speed dial page that Opera offers.

[Europa]

Anything would be better than Explorer.

[Spyder]

Definitely agree, I have all three My wife uses Firefox and I use Opera, IE just kinda sits there taking up space.

How about a live chat room?
Some of us dont use AIM or other similar chatting programs and a chat room would enable us to talk in a real time fassion.

[Europa]

Well it's a forum, not a chat room...

[BLAKEJOHN]

Oh no no no, That would just be another condition I would have to deal with RLCRS(ReefLounge Chat Room Syndrome). My theripist is gonna get an earfull this week.

[elvictre]

Anyway to deal with all the spam? It drives me nuts.

[Mike O'Brien]

I just found the multi-quote button. Does it work ? I've always wanted to multi-quote.

[GSELLERS1245]

i found a problem, when i select a post to delete in a thread, i select delete from the option on the bottom right, then i am asked to put my password in to verify the legitimacy of the request and then it takes me to a main page and I then have to go back and do the action again to delete those posts. Any idea?

[Mike O'Brien]

I use thread tools. No password needed.

[GSELLERS1245]

where's that is it under the mod button?

[Mike O'Brien]

It's at the top of the thread.

[GSELLERS1245]

then what? i only see thread options no post options

[Mike O'Brien]

OK, edit, delete thread.

[GSELLERS1245]

maybe im just being retarded....i'm still not seing it. how would i delete this post but keep the thread? i had a long day maybe i'm missing something

[GSELLERS1245]

btw the multi quote is awesome and works great.....just click on each post to quote and then click on the last quote then all pop up in the message box

[Mike O'Brien]

to the left of quote. Click edit, then delete.

That's not what I was thinking, but OK.

[Europa]

Glenn, use the Edit button -> Delete -> Physically remove message -> Delete this message. No password needed.

[GSELLERS1245]

blah been a long day....ok that method works for me :) i was using moderation options at the bottom thanks mike and mindi

[reeflounge_admin]

how has the new script been so far ?

See a couple of spammers have made it on the forum, but I think they are actual people signing up and posting garbage.

ty

c

[elvictre]

There has been a ton of new spammers posting lately but you guys remove them pretty fast.

[smartdog126]

recomend hmmm make a section so people can maybe go to like if they make a thread and they just want to talk about a subject? maybe because i tend to get off topic... (sorry to the people that i did that to :() (more smileys???) i dont no ill think of more things that maybe come to mind... but defiantly a place to have a conversation i think? any one else agree? (or is there a place for that?)

[BLAKEJOHN]

In the "anything goes" section

[smartdog126]

oh ok thank you i have another idea? like add a application like aim..yahoo aim... on here so we all if we wanted could talk on that?

[elvictre]

How about setting a maximum amount of posts per day per member.

[Irisservice]

How about setting a maximum amount of posts per day per member.
LOL, vic i like that....Hint hint

[jxb647]

LOL... and make it a low number, say 5 or 10...

[smartdog126]

yea i agree...

[elvictre]

yea i agree...

Your just a wiseguy. You are averaging 18 posts per day. You don't give any usefull input.

[smartdog126]
