Also noticed that the list of active users on the Main Index screen is not in alphabetical order.
Not that it really makes a difference because when you click on Currently Active Users, the list is in order..... :o
Also, the list of today's birthdays are not in alpha order either. Again, just a minor thing that I noticed....and probably not worth the effort to change.
I dont want to say anything bad - I´m just saying my thoughts...the new look of talk is ok, but I liked old one better...it was much prettier...and now the forum looks very alike to other forums...it doenst looks like pet talk anymore :( well as I said I´m just saying my thoughts - hope no one will be angry at me lol :)
I have a question...
So we can't upload video attachments anymore?:(
You should be able to - send Paul a PM with what kind of file youre trying to attach, and he can check the settings and make sure.
Cool! Thanks Karen:DQuote:

My question is: Is there a way to set a default for these settings rather than add them for every post? :cool:
Look what i come back to after a weekend away :d. Love the new changes, it will be fun getting used to all the new toys.
question.....
How come the Post Icons aren't under every forum? I love these little post icons!
Is there any way to alphabatize the Currently Active Users? :)
Karen, I am at work now and can see the new and improved Pet Talk but I'm scared I won't be able to see Pet Talk anymore on my home computer....It runs Windows 95 and AOL 4.0....I'm scared I won't be able to sign on from home anymore. Do you know if I will still be able to or is this software far too advanced for my ancient computer?...I am way overdue for a new computer anyway and maybe this will just be more motivation to save for one....
I'm guessing it's when we came on line, maybe.Quote:

If you are in a thread, left click on the Person's name. You'll get several options including
"View Public Profile" click on that.
You'll get more options including "Forum info which gives total posts and
"Find all posts by .....
and Find all threads started by......
COOL http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/biggrin.gif
If you are not in a thread and left click on the Person's name, say where it's listed on the first page as a poster, you'll go directly to the profile."
Now, here's what's new:
If you want to search for a particular post or thread by a known user, go to Search - Advanced search - Search by use Name --
Now you are given two choices, Find Posts or Find Threads - another timesaver.http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/cool.gif
Yeah, I suspect that too, though my name always stays at the front of the list. I just like browsing it real quick if I'm looking for someone and it was easier when it listed users alphabetically.Quote:

I really like the widescreen, but the blue text there is just too much for my eyes. :(
Hmm, I wonder why! :confused:
Uhh, I may not have explained well enough - I mean the titles of the threads. In fact, all the text on the Index page.
Kim, you can organize it any way you want. The headers at the top of the column, User Name, Last Activity (and I forget what else), are clickable, and will arrange the users according to what you pick.
Randi, yes, I also have different text colors -- blue and pink for widescreen, navy for Pet Talk view. I like the colors of the Pet Talk view better, but the widescreen is easier on the eyes. Attached are screen captures showign hte different text colors -- apparently not everyone sees the different colors.
Wow, nothing like a picture to clear things up!:D I have the same problem and I think I know the answer.
I can remember from my vast two days of HTML class that there is a way to program code so that if you read certain text, it changes color so that you know you've read that before. Could it be that?
Yep, just tested it on a section I never read, and it changed color!!
I thought I might be able to change it back to blue by "mark forums read", but that didn't help.
As far as I know, it should work with the old AOL - you let me know if it doesn't, okay?Quote:

Good job Paul and Karen! :D
??? I just tried to find the "cat calendar order" post using 'search' and got this message:
I'm not sure if I did something wrong, or if the computer hiccuped at a bad time or what.... Any one seen this before?Quote:

I don't know if this has already been answered, but when you are invisibie, you will still be visible to yourself, but no one else will see you :)Quote:

I'm getting the same thing, AmberLee. Worker earlier today and previous days, though... :confused:
HELP please, I tryed to post an attachment today, and it would not upload it, anyone else having this problem, yes it was a correct file as well, all help appreciated, thank you.
How big is the file? Is it over 2 mb? What was the file's name, and what browser do you use?Quote:

The Entire "visible/invisible" mystery:
When you have yourself set to invisible, you see a red dot by your own name, and and asterisk by your name in the "Who's online" list.
The only other people who can see you as being online are Paul and myself. To everyone else, your "dot" is grey, and you do not appear on the who's online list as anything but one of the "guests."
Needless to say, I see many more people on "who's online" than you all do, including lurkers, which is interesting to see! Certain folks never post, but visit frequently! It is okay, shy ones, I won't give you away!
Karen,
Are you offically allowing larger signature spaces now, or is the old
limit still in effect? I noticed recently that some seem to have very large
sig. space used while others is a pretty small. Thanks.
Good point Lizbud! I think it still needs to be small -- those on dialup have a hard time uploading everything. Besides, I think it is easy to create a pretty siggy, true artistry to create a pretty sig that still speaks well in a small size.
I agree catnapper. It doesn't have to be large, just big enough to see
all pictures clearly.Your's is great. It's pretty, colorful and clear. :) I'd still
like to know what Karen & Paul think about sizes now.
See, the problem is that although her's is pretty, clear, etc.. it too is above the signature size limit. It's hard to create a signature that follows the size limit and still clear. Takes a lot of fooling around with and I hate the pixelated look it gets.
I think if the rule is to be inforced it should say somewhere in the FAQ or rules when you enter. There's a lot of newcomers that have no clue.
Yeah I definitely have no clue, and before even making a signature I even looked to see if there were restrictions, and found NONE. So if there ARE rules here, they need to be a lot more obvious.
EDIT: Oh and to who said something about having smaller images for those on dial-up?? Well there IS an option in your profile to turn off images and/or signatures, or both, so that will help out those on dialup. Instead of an image there will just be a a link to the image instead of the actual image. So I don't think size or loading time should really be that big of an issue since you can turn images off.
We would still like people to keep their signature images to 25k or below. I have posted this many times, and I often send PMs to people asking them to comply. After all, we need to be considerate of others, and I know people enjoy seeing the various signature images and it helps them identify who is posting, but having big signature images keeps some people from even being able to open a thread.

I do realize how hard it is to make pictures clear with all the space squished
up. I hope the rule has been relaxed a bit. :)
Oops, just saw Karen's post. I agree. Some take up so much space it makes
it harder to see what they are saying.
Are we talking file size restrictions or image dimension restrictions?Quote:

Jessika - attached is your current signature image, just saved with a bit more compression so it is less than half the size of what you currently have up. It is now about 24k - a perfectly good size.
I have an extremely fast connection to the web - Verizon's new FiOS - fiberoptic. Yet a large signature image or images make the thread kind of jump around a bit as each one loads and therefore that post takes up more height. Your current signature images just did that, just now.
Please either use this one I have attached or resave yours so it is 25k or below.
We also remind people often that it is the TOTAL of their images - so if you have three animated banners that are 10k apiece, you're over the limit.
There is not current a single thread or place that says that. It is among the many things we still need to do as part of the upgrade.Quote:
