New Forum! Yaaayy

Tay

Peace Adley,

I like the new look and options also. A couple minor complaints though...

• the smileys stink!

• there's no "view all your posts" link. The "Show new replies to your posts" link bumps off the last one you've looked at.

If these are addressable, that would be cool. If not, no biggie.

Peace,
Tay

Salaam Tay,

Yes the view-all-your-post link would be good. I'm sure there are mods available for forums like this one.
ANd about the smileys, well I don't use various kinds anyway, so no problem at all for me ;D --> this is probably the one I'll use most often

Oh, I just noticed something. How do you select available fonts? Besides Verdana, what are the available ones?

Hi !

Yeah, congratulations with the new forum!

Dear Tay,

The smilies can be changed -)

To see your post Click on "profile" link at the top. Then click "shiow posts" under "Profile Info" to the left.

Nadeem.

Tay

Peace Nadeem,

Thanks for the tips. About the smileys, I can change them or the mods??

Peace,
Tay

Salaam,

There's something interesting in the new forum's statistics page. The total member is only 1 and that is Layth ;D

Salaam Nadeem,

Well, I guess that is up to Layth or Zenje I guess to add smileys or to recount the members ;D

=adley=

Layth

Peace,

I have fixed the member stats...

Regarding the smilies, not sure what the comment being made is or how it can be fixed?

adley

Salaam Layth,

Nadeem's comments were not about fixing the smileys as far as I can read them, they are more about adding smileys to the currently available ones. Since you have the most privileges in this forum, perhaps you can try clicking the link Nadeem gave above. And see if you can add more smileys. (That way, Tay would be much happier ;D)

Peace Adley,

I tried the link, but it didn't seem to have the options that the tutorial was talking about. -
I agree though, we need to get some 'real' smilies.

savage_carrot

Ahh I see more unsatisfied smilie customers. Indeed, these are different yet cuter in a strange sense. They are growing on me by the minute.

Tay

Peace Zen, Layth, All,

OK, so I got an email giving me the new address, which worked yesterday. Today it didn't work and I had to access the forum from the home page again. I take it the address is back to "forum" and no longer "forum2" in the URL? I just need to know which we're sticking with so I can update my bookmarks.

Also, what's the deal with the stars under the member names. Yesterday I had none, today I have one. Who do I have to take out to dinner to earn me another star?? I'll make it Peter Luger's Steakhouse in NYC if I can get like some cool looking shooting star or something.

Peace,
Tay

adley

Salaam Zenje,

I don't know man, perhaps Nadeem can fill in on this for all of us.
Either way, the currently available smilies are good enough for me. ;D

I think we're sticking to the latest one, which is really the old one... anyway, I 'update' my bookmars (again) at home and the office.

Me!me!me!... I'm steak!insert drool emoticon here Actually couldn't help you out right now... yesterday I was a 'newbie' (wats up with that?). But I must say - the transition went much smoother than I thought it would! ;D (I had nothing to do with it) and we're progressing pretty well. So I'm sure it won't be long before you get atleast another star or a teddy bear or something... you know what they say about patience!

Peace twin bro
PS Steak or no, I do hope we meet some day, even if not in this plane of existenz. )

nadeem

Hi there!

Adley, Tay and Zenje,

The more posts you make, the more stars you should have.

The default setting is

1 stars 0-49 posts
2 stars 50-99 posts
3 stars 100-249
4 stars 250-499
5 stars 500 and over

Admins can manage these values here http//www.free-minds.org/forum/index.php?action=membergroups;

But It's strange that all of us have only one star. Someone with admin access should click here
http//www.free-minds.org/forum/index.php?action=maintain

And click on Find and repair any errors. and
Recount all forum totals and statistics.

Maybe that will fix it. I don't know.

Nadeem.

adley

Salaam Nadeem,

Thanks for the explanation bro. Hopefully Layth or Zenje can do something about it. Oh, do you know just which font types exactly that I can choose when writing posts?

Speaking of stars, we should be able to create ranks, do we not? I mean, 1 star is a Newbie, 2 star is a Regular, and so on. Maybe it will be fun to have ranks based on the number of posts we have. ;D

=adley=

savage_carrot

I second (or is that third?) the powers that be to change our stars to what they should be. After all, it took hard work and newbies shouldn't get all the rewards, especially when we see some posting like the devil's after them! It's not fair '(

Tay

Peace Zenje, Nadeem, Nadia, all,

Zenje, I was only joking about the star thingy, but the steak dinner offer still stands if you ever make it out here to the East Coast. Have you ever been to NYC??

Speaking of which, I think the time is right for a little convention/meeting. We need to gather the troops and see what kind of energy we can muster. I envision a hotel type thing, where we can all get together, see each other, babble, take pics and post 'em on the forum, maybe have a speaker or 2. What say you??

As Wakas said, if you build it, they will come.

Nadeem, thank for the data.

NAdia, you stated

especially when we see some posting like the devil's after them!

I almost fell out my chair laughing!

Peace,
Tay

adley

Salaam all,

I was wondering whether broken links in all previous posts (from the old forum) can be mended? Those links, right now, lead to nowhere. Is there anything we can do to fix it? Perhaps some members, like me, wish to re-read old threads and if they happen to find a link, they will be a lot happier if it really works. ;D

=adley=

nadeem

Hi!

Adley,

These are the fonts I can gather

This is verdana a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v q x y z
This is Arial a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v q x y z
This is Times new Roman a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v q x y z
This is Impact a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v q x y z

Wait a minute... Actually, you can use all the fonts your windows has installed -)
But, for other members to see the fonts, they must also have the font you're using.

You can check what fonts you have installed by clicking star -> run -> C\WINDOWS\Fonts

All you have to do, is to click this button in the post formhttp//www.free-minds.org80/forum/Themes/default/images/bbc/face.gif
Then inside the brackets where it's says 'verdana', change it to whatever font name you like -)

Speaking of stars, we should be able to create ranks, do we not?

Yes, admins can. Under member management in admin-panel, click "add".
