New Stuff!!!

[Cinder & Smoke]

For now, people can do spell check the old-fashioned way.

OR ...
Try GOOGLE's Spell Check feature in the Google ToolBar!

Here's some info on it >>>

It DOES work when you're typing inside a Pet Talk Posting Window!!

We seem to be having a problem with viewing videos.
...Is there some codec the software is adding that we would all
need to download since it seems some of us can view and some can't?

Here's the "Error Message" I'm getting when trying to play a video:

C00D1199: Cannot play the file

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. You might encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:

• The file type is not supported by the Player. For a list of file types (formats) that are supported by Windows Media Player, see Supported file types.
• The file type is supported by the Player, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the Player.
• The file type is supported, but you are trying to play it in a way that is not supported by the Player. For example, you might have tried to drag a DVD file with a .vob extension from a DVD to the Windows Media Player icon. Or you might have tried to open a .vob file by clicking Open on the File menu.
• You are trying to play one part of a multipart file. Use a newsreader or other program to combine the files, and then try again.

Error ID = 0xC00D1199, Condition ID = 0x00000000

Jen brought it up in another thread and I noticed it as well. When someone types in something very long into the location box in their profile it really messes up the margins when they post. Is it possible to limit that to a set amount of characters?

I have a question. Not about "new stuff", but an older feature. How many
posts does there have to be before a thread gets the "view first unread"
feature? I like that feature. It's very helpful in the longer threads. Just curious.

Does anyone know the answer to this question?

p.s. There's a prize for the winner.

It's always there, isn't it? It is at the top of every thread. It's not on the forum view, unless it is a new post since you were last logged on (no matter how many responses there were, one or twenty). But when you go into the thread, that view first unread option is at the top of every thread, even if there are no responses. I just looked at a thread with no responses and it was there. Did that make sense?

Exactly right. Open any thread, and it's there on the top left of the page. Or, on the forums homepage, clicking on the little arrow will take you to the last post, which is often just as good, depending how often you've been checking a thread, it's not that far up to the last one you've read1

Cool! I just noticed another thing in the poll- It tells you when it closes if you have a date set!

"This poll will close on 10-26-2005 at 06:05 PM" - from the Halloween/Fall contest in DG.

I still don't think I'm explaining this properly. Look at this thread,

http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=91158


Below the reply button there is a solid blue line on the left with option
boxes on the right, but there is no view first unread option.

Look at the first post in this thread.

http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=91186

and there is a view first unread option.


in the same place there is
a view first unread option.

Dunno, but I've looked at BOTH of your example threads,
and they BOTH have the "View First Unread" clicker
at the left end of the options bar.

Phred,

This is seriously weird. It does not display that way on my pc.
Only shows up on the longer thread.(one with more posts)

OK - I give up!

Just went back and *looked* at em again ...

And NOW what you're calling the "short" thread does NOT have
that "View First Unread" clicker.

Might have something to do with if you HAVE or Have NOT ever read the
thread before.

But it really WAS there when I checked before ...
I had both threads open in different Windows - and jumped back 'n forth
several times before I posted.

Color me !

[lizbud]

Thank you Freckles & Cinder & Smoke. What a relief. You do see
what I was talking about. It seems to appear automaticly after a certain
number of posts. (I think) That was my question. How many posts does
it have to have before it shows up?
.

[Randi]

It's getting even more confusing now - I clicked on both links, the first one didn't have the "First unread" at the top left, neither when I went back the second time, but the seond link did have "First unread" up there both times I went there. I'm not sure I've opened any of these threads before.

[QUOTE=Karen]Attachments You can now post attachments again. We have set it so that you can post more than one attachment per post as well. For those wondering why you can now post attachments, when we asked you not to before, the new version of the software stores attachments in a different fashion. It is no longer in a set-sized database.

What is the size limit per attachment and size limit for all the total attachments per post?

I sent you a PM, but for the public record, the size limit per attachment is just over 2 mb. You can post up to 5 attachments in a single post, so by default, a single posts attachments won't add up to much more than 10 mb.
