    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".

        Peace Tay, all

        Heh it's true though! I would love to be part of the hotel experience...don't you guys have a convention of sorts without me! I want to be there and I want the steak with mashed potatoes on the side. I would of course settle for the pictures but not without much heartache.

          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.

          Tried that... didn't work... atleast it didn't change anything. (
          You know what?... I'll leave this stuff to Layth, before I mess up the
          whole board or something. -\

            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.

            Never been to the big apple... and I doubt I'll be venturing that way anytime soon. I dunno, I just figure it's not a place you want to drag a 3 and 6 year old around. For some reason I've never had the 'urge' to go to New York... not sure why that is, I haven't found something to draw me in there I guess. Having said that I still would like to visit all of northeast including MA and ME. The invite to CO stills stands as well. ;D

            The convention thing sounds too good to actually happen, sadly enough. Don't mean to be a party pooper, but I think we're too few and far in between. That's why the only convention I see happening is online. But then again, if Wakas builds it, I will be there! ;D

              Peace,

              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.

              If people on this thread can come up with suggestions, then I would be glad to use them

                I think Nadeem's suggestion can work. Here's how I would twist it a little

                1 star 0-99 posts (Newbie)
                2 stars 100-299 posts (upcoming)
                3 stars 300-499 (regular)
                4 stars 500-999 (above average)
                5 stars 1000 and over (obsessed much?)

                ;D

                  How about a Star Wars theme? ;D

                  1 star 0-99 posts (Speck/MidiChlorian?)
                  2 stars 100-299 posts (Padawan/Sith Apprentice)
                  3 stars 300-499 (Jedi? Sentinel)
                  4 stars 500-999 (Jedi? Knight)
                  5 stars 1000 and over (Jedi Master or Sith Lord?)

                  Let the people choose their sides! Alternatively, I'm sure there are better suggestions at other sites

                    Peace Nadia, Zenje, All,

                    Yes, Nadia it is true. You just have a way with words that tickles my, ummm, belly or something. You ever think about stand-up comedy?

                    Zenje, if you can't think of a reason to bring the kids to the city, then you haven't been on this planet recently. Here's a few trips for starters Museum of Natural History, The Met, The Bronx Zoo (I just went...it's freakin awesome), Central Park Zoo, The Museum of Television, The Blue Man Group (Fantastic), Cirque de Soleil, just to name a few, and in my beautiful Jersey, less than an hour away from the city, we have Six Flags/Great Adventure boasting Kingda Ka, the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster!

                    Need I say more?

                    And I will take you up on the Colorado trip. Hopefully sooner than later. Are you close to any roaring rapid rides?

                    Peace,
                    Tay

                      That is an interesting way of putting it seeing as how I mentioned steak and all D But stand-up?!? No way, I'd probably be petrified on stage with a cheesy grin on my face...my bro though is into it and quite successful too, he's like a born performer.

                        peace Layth, Zenje, All,

                        Firstly, I appreciate your efforts in running the forum, and I think a new forum is probably for the best in the long run. The main problem with the previous forum may have been security but your host not backing up daily didn't help!

                        The only problem I have with the change is that as far as I'm aware, links on webpages pointing to threads in the previous forum do not work anymore. This is unfortunate as I (and no doubt other members) have used these links in discussions/articles/posts on other forums etc.

                        Can this be corrected?

                        Wakas

                        All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                          Hi Wakas,

                          Yes, this can be fixed.

                          It's quite possible to make a php-script that can search the whole database for urls pointing to the old address. However, it's even easier to make a viewtopic.php file that redirects to the proper address. The second alternative sounds easier and safer to me. This way, even links from outside free-minds would be redirected to the proper thread.

                          The code inside the viewtopic.php file would go something like this

                          <?php

                          $topic = $_GET;

                          $newurl = "http//www.free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=$topic";

                          echo "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN'><html><head><title></title><meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0;$newurl'></head><body></body></html>";

                          ?>

                          All you need to do, is to copy that code, open notebook, paste, and save as viewtopic.php using "all filetypes" in the drop-down-menu, And upload it to the /forum directory.

                          Hope it works out -)

                          EDIT FIXED CODE

                          Nadeem.

                          ps. This does not alter or even use the database. The firstline gets the value T from older urls, which is the topic id. And then takes that and puts it after the newer url. That's all.

                          pss. The negative thing is, that it wont lead to a specific page in the thread, but to the beginning. I could make som additions, but that'll take time. Tell me if you're interested and I'll make some time -)

                            Thanks nadeem.

                            Hopefully, Layth or Zein can try it out.

                            Starting on the 1st page of a thread is no big deal.

                                    Salaam,

                                    Zenje's and Nadia's suggestions about ranks are cool enough for me. Here's mine (just for the fun of it ;D)

                                    1 star 0-99 Just Born
                                    2 stars 100-399 Youngling
                                    3 stars 400-999 Mature
                                    4 stars 1000-3999 Knowledgable
                                    5 stars 4000+ Wise One

                                      Yup, it works. Great.

                                      However, can you make it so that it automatically load the link? So users won't have to click the new link? I know I'm being lazy, but users usually are. ;D

                                        Hi Adley,

                                        Done! -)

                                        Don't worry, I hate extra clicking as well -)

                                        Nadeem.

                                          Salaam Nadeem,

                                          Now that's what I'm talking about! Thanks a lot bro! ;D
                                          Now it's all up to Layth or Zenje to use it.
