Frank Hagan Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 Registration is for the forums, My Gallery and My Home Port (when it gets up and running), to enable "extra features". For the forums, the extras include being able to email other registered members, getting email notifications when someone has responded to your post, having buttons below your posts that people can click to see your email, website, ICQ or AIM number, etc. And sending private messages to other registered members, here on the forum (they aren't really "private", as I and anyone else I authorize could read them, but they are hidden from everyone else). Registration will not feed your email into a database for sending you spam, selling your email address to people who want you to have certain body parts enlarged (just WHY are they concerned with that anyway?), pestering you with "newsletters" or anything else. You may notice posts with your name in the forum already; those are imported messages from the old forum. Those are "guest" posts, and you can continue to post as a guest. Its only the "added features" you get by registering. When you register, every post from that point forward will have the extra features enabled, but those already in the forums will not. If you have any questions, ask away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Hagan Posted January 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Oops, looks like I forgot to put those pages on the new server! I'll add them back in, and put a link on the Weekender page again. Thanks for pointing that one out! (I am sure there will be more!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Cox Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Personally, I like the new format. I'll probably like it even better after I learn how to use all the features. Great job Frank! Bob PS. I really like the new smillies too. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how everyone else likes it after the various name servers across the Internet direct people here. As soon as I can figure it out, I can add those "non-PC" smilies that Paul keeps sending me. :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johannah Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Frank, It's good to be able to see all the posts in one thread without having to click and click. After I registered and returned to the forum, the text no longer fit on my screen so that I cannot both read text and see who wrote. This was not the case on first opening as a guest. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt jake Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 I am beginning to like this. It is much faster loading than the last server. Thanks Frank!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul D (WA) Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 I think this is great. I like it much better than the old style. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Norman Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 I like the new look Frank - you'll like the no-maintenance aspect of PHPBB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try it during testing at 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768, and both worked fine (640 x 480 did have the horizontal scroll problem, but I expected that).

Gordy Hill Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Well, oh, all right, I guess it's OK. Oh look! We can change colors! Let's see how the bold works... Maybe it'll do... I think I 'm getting the hang of it! Now, how do I get a photo from drive A to a post? Gordy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Hagan Posted January 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Now' date=' how do I get a photo from drive A to a post?Gordy[/quote'] When you go to "Post a Reply" or "Post a Message", right below the box you type your message in is a section called "Add an Attachment". It has a "Filename" box and a "Browse" button. Click the "Browse" button and search your computer for the image and select it. You can then add a caption to the photo in the "File Comment" box. You have to be registered to upload images (for the site's protection). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Nelson Surbrook Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 This is going to take some getting used to. I like it so far and I think this is going to be great when I get past the learing curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions?[/quote']This should be fixed now ... is it? It was the navigation menu at the top ... after logging in the line went too long for the 800 x 600 screen resolution. If you are at 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600, it should fit on the screen. If you are still at 640 x 480, it will scroll (unfortunately). At least that's the way it looks when I simulate those settings on my machine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordy Hill Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Frank, I'm lost! I clicked on "Post a reply", the blank came up, (obviously, since I'm writing in it), but I can't find "Add an Attachment" anywhere! It can't be this difficult. What am I doing wrong?

Frank Hagan Posted January 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Hmmm ... it should be below the text box. Its in the lower portion of this very highly compressed, bad quality screen shot I've attached.
