To do list for Techno....

[SDguy]

1. Make quotation marks and carrots and any other symbols work in the shoutbox.

2. Allow permanent font settings for shoutbox in User CP.

3. Figure out why links to threads on RC don't work in shoutbox.

4. Add PIF forum

5. Since pic links don't work in shoutbox, add the following smilies to the ones available:

[coral diver]

Please elaborate....
Like Who Got The Biggest Fish

[temec_lover]

and whos got the smallest

[SDguy]

Oh, gotcha...ok, that sounds cool!

[gemini]

And maybe have the chatbox follow you on the pages and threads, that would be nice

[afitzwater]

I think everyone decided that they didnt like that feature....

[Techknowledgy]

Welcome back Peter. Thanks for doing all of this for us.

[SDguy]

I think everyone decided that they didnt like that feature....

Yes, that's correct :)

Thanks Roland, hope you had a nice holiday break.

afitz...is there any angle of your fiances *** that you haven't photographed? :D :D

[temec_lover]

how about the current thread list refreshes itself

[SDguy]

I don't think hitting refresh is a big deal, is it?

[RussM]

And maybe have the chatbox follow you on the pages and threads, that would be nice
Nooooooooooooooooooooo!

But more lines (history) in the ShoutBox would be nice.

[Sam Maghsoodloo]

how about, make a subcatagory in DIY for food, or at least somewhere else to put them. (non-reef DIY?)

[Diver Dan]

Please put a limit on the amount of images in the shoutbox, Conner keeps posting 50 smilies in a row...:crazy::D

[SDguy]

6. Add "Group Buy" Forum

7. Fix layout so spellcheck button is available in replies/PM's.

[acbaldwin]

How about a search function for the PM box? it's pretty hard to find jimjams number out of 800 messages!!

BTW, the Opera browser has an option to refresh whatever pages you want automatically.

[SDguy]

OK, without the shoutbox, some things are N/A.

We still need:
1. PIF Forum (I really would like to get this going, do have a nice data base people can search through).

2. Either add a Group Buy Forum, or in case we don't want that many forums, just decide where exactly people should post group buys (for sale forums? reef discussions?).

3. Photography forum

4. Fix smilie layout so spellcheck button is back.

[SDguy]

I like the new sponsor color :D

[imHUNG]

I like the new sponsor color :D

I dont know. It doesnt really stand out with the dark blue theme though. Kinda blends in with the regular names. Or is that just me?

[SDguy]

Sticks out like a sore thumb to me, and I use the night theme too :confused:

[coral diver]

Sticks out like a sore thumb to me, and I use the night theme too :confused:
same here its like "Hey I'm Here"

[Technoviking]

Also upgraded them to triple the PM space :D.

[imHUNG]

thats a lot of pms!

[Technoviking]

Also, added a PIF forum and a Group Buy forum, thanks for refreshing this thread and reminding me!

[Haeun]

Wow, someone stretched their finger muscle too! Some good changes. (: Yay.

[SDguy]

Oooo, someone's been busy!!

[DaveMorris]

I have a request....Make it so you can get access to smilies without going to the advanced mode. Too many key strokes going back and forth. And how about downloading Peter's library of them onto the site so the rest of us can use them.:D (I would like to have more of them)

[Techknowledgy]

How about animated avitars?

Hey Dave....













































get your own :D

[SDguy]

Just kidding Dave...

BTW, you know that most all the smilies have very easily remembered texts...

like cool = sunglasses

hideeyes

etc.....

[DaveMorris]

I can never seem to lift them for use elsewhere. Maybe I should go to www.smilies.com (http://www.smilies.com)

[SDguy]

Oh, well, they have to be inputed here by techno first....

[DaveMorris]

[SDguy]

Hmmm, not sure what the consequences are to this site, if any, when linking to those kinds of sites for smilies. Maybe bossman can fill me in? Tech?

[Technoviking]

There is no consequence of linking smilies, if anything, it helps by lowering our bandwidth usage slightly.

I've been trying to figure out how to make it so I can input big smilies without having them in the smilie bar so they don't mess up the right side of the screen.

[SDguy]

if anything, it helps by lowering our bandwidth usage slightly.


Do you mind explaining? I don't know how that works... :o

[Technoviking]

Sure, the easiest way to explain it is that we have two main kinds of memory, physical and bandwidth. Physical is how many files we have (pages, pictures, databases, etc.). Bandwidth is kind of like traffic memory. So everytime someone views a file (picture, page, smilie, etc.) our bandwidth useage goes up. So by using their smilies we are using their bandwidth instead of our own. I hope that made sense.

[SDguy]

Yes, it did...thank you. So it's just like me using my smilies from my photobucket account....

[Technoviking]

Exactly, I mean the difference is probably minescule, so it doesn't matter. But you asked :D.

[DaveMorris]

So when are you going to steal all of Peter's and put them here?:D

[Technoviking]

Soon as I figure out the afor mention problem and fix it. Just a matter of time...

[barometer]

Hey Blake, your title says "Administrator/Owner" now. Does this require an official announcement? Are congratulations in order? People need to know where to direct their torches and pitchforks :ohsnap: :p

[Technoviking]

Haha yes I now own the site, I have been meaning to post an announcement but have not thought about it when at my computer.

[barometer]

LOL, well congratulations! :)

I guess your 'to do' list will be growing a bit. Now let the flinging begin :hideeyes: :p

[SDguy]

HA! Now I can call you "boss" as much as I want and you can't complain! :D

[Technoviking]

Ed:
Well thank you. Oh I can't wait!

Peter:
Haha fine, as long as I can consider/call you my minion.

[DaveMorris]

Hey...I need a job. Is SDReefs hiring?:D I just passed 2000 posts so I have "experience".

[Techknowledgy]

I understand they could use a marketing manager. (What exactly does the number of posts show? lack of interpersonal skills? Few friends? Too much time on my hands?) Hmmmmmmmmm.

[SDguy]

All of the above.....

[DaveMorris]

What Peter said...

[Fish n' Frags]

Congrats Blake!!! :D

Now where is my photography forum!!!!!!!! LOL Don't make me sick Chuck on you. Fear the Roundhouse Kick!

[coral diver]

Yah same here what Peter said
