Message Board Updates [Archive] - RonFez.net Messageboard

Well it seems money makes the world go round...I had a paying client who needed a message board. I provided him with my software and he requested a series of tweaks which have been installed on this messageboard. 1) Member avatars. You can now upload your own avatar, instead of user title avatars set by the mod. Follow the instructions and you will be fine. Avatars are 120 x 200 MAX. Anything taller or wider will be restricted. 35K upload limit on the file as well 2) Edit post titles. Admins and the original poster can now edit the post titles of thier threads.3) Graphics. For the time being, the icons are nice and fancy. Up to Jon to keep em. I don't care either way. I didn't do them. 4) Signature and post are now separated. From now on, all quoted messages will reflect the body of the post itself, and not the signature. This is not retroactive, meaning messages posted prior to the date and time of this topic will still show up in the quoted reply.5) Updated preferences page, more slick.I think that's it. I might have missed some.Enjoy.

NICE! Just two things.

1. When you guys updated the board this time, the error that popped up said that we were IP banned. That was disconcerting.

2. Only complaint I have, and a minor one, is that there isn't a reply button on top of every post, instead only on the top of the page. Otherwise, this rocks.

So, if I were to (temporarily) choose an annoying avatar, it would appear magically? I'm loving it!!!edit... that avatar is not directed toward anyone. I just wanted to see if it worked. Works GREAT!

Is the "Home" page dead as it used to be, because I hit home and get the messageboard view.  i can only get to the Home page by typing in the link and hitting the front picture page.  if I hit messageboard I can't get back to the home page using the link.

The board's new look is great, and I'm sure I'll appreciate the improvements once I get around to getting a new computer.

However...

I know I'm running a dinosaur (a 1999 iMac with OS 9), but is there anything I can do to be able to change my preferences? I can't change my sig pic or upload an avatar because my operating system is ancient.

If not, I'll deal with it for a short while.

Hottub

02-08-2006, 02:25 PM

OS 9 should not be an issue. Did you download the latest macromedia? What browser are you using? I am not a huge mac fan, but I do know some stuff. Check with Furie or WhistlePig.

Gvac

02-08-2006, 02:29 PM

One of the problems is that the last version of Flash available for OS 9 is version 7.

And I've tried with both Netscape and IE to change my preferences.

It's time for an upgrade anyway; I can't view anything made with Windows Media Player 9 or 10 because the last version made was, again, 7.

Hottub

02-08-2006, 02:45 PM

Try and get your hands on a copy of Tiger to hold you over. It was the best move I made. Hopefully your computer has enough Horsepower to support it. I had no problem with a G4, but yours may be a bit too old.

I cannot upload an avatar.  My upload button is dimmed.  Why?

Death Metal Moe

02-09-2006, 03:55 PM

Yea, the Avatar uploading is a little shady and weird.  My initial upload went well, but subsequent uploads have been very odd.  I upload it and then hit that reload button that's provided and it looks like there's no avatar, but eventually my new one is by my posts.  As long as it appears I guess I don't care but there is some weird shit going on there.

Hottub

02-09-2006, 04:10 PM

If you choose a file that is too large, you will automatically be shut out from an upload. You must resize and try again.This is also the reason some of the existing Av's have been dropped.I forget off the top of my head, but I think it's 120x200 and 35k.

TastelessGinny

02-09-2006, 04:29 PM

Are there limits as to what can be used as an avatar?  <img border="0" src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/thumbup.gif" /> Just curious.

mikeyboy

02-09-2006, 04:41 PM

Avatars are 120 x 200 MAX. Anything taller or wider will be restricted. 35K upload limit on the file as well

Hottub

02-09-2006, 04:42 PM

I think, as far as you follow the basic board rules, ie, nudity, NSFW, death, etc,   and you follow the 120x200 and 35k, you are OK!

If you're even slightly over the size limit in either direction, it won't let you upload. I had the same problem too, but as soon as I shrunk the pic a little, it worked just fine.

One thing Id like to see changed is the Reply format of either posts or IM's.  Why is the text of the message you reply to at the top of the IM window or a post?  So that if you need to space down, your reply is all centered?  I think it would be better if when you hit Reply, the thing you reply to should automatically shift down so that your reply is on TOP.  Does anyone agree?

JustJon

02-13-2006, 10:14 AM

Nope, responses will stay at the bottom, since people should read the information you are referencing first.  Feel free to type at the top if you want.

With member-customizable avatars, I'd like to get rid of sigpics entirely.And I think we should get rid of threads entirely.  Is there anyway you could add the feature that other boards have where the mods can merge similar threads?Short answer: no.Sarcastic answer: Sure, as long as you are willing to pay for those hours spent coding it.

Sarcastic answer: Sure, as long as you are willing to pay for those hours spent coding it. I've seen many other boards with that feature as well. Is it that they coded it that way, or was it the coding behinds those boards was pre-existant. What I mean is, a site like Wackbag, did Stingray or whoever code that - or was there a board template with that feature already in place?I only ask out of curiosity, not as a complaint.

I am currently babysitting another site.<img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/furious.gif" border="0" /> It is running pnb. All I need to do is split and merge separate threads into one. I am guessing by JJ's coding gripes, that this board is beyond that.

Add my name to the growing list of people who have had their
response mysteriously vanish when using the board's quote
feature.  I have to manually enter {quote} {/quote} for it to show my post.

Don't worry WP, I couldn't post for the longest ass time after the site update and then I was instructed to go to my preferences and enable the posting tools and that finally just seemed to do the trick. but the trick was actually getting to that screen. alot of times I would click on preferences and nothing would happen. finally after several attemps and several weeks later the screen finally came up and I just clicked to enable the posting tools, logged out and logged back in and finally I was able to send PM's once again.  I hope that helps. Trust me It was very frustrating not being to send Private messages for the longest time.

The best way to search the board is to go to Google, type in the thing you want to search and add ron fez after it.  Check it <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=what+did+silera+say+ron+fez&btnG=Search" target="_blank">out</a>
