How come we're using this board more than our new board at http://www.sc3g.org/garage/ ?? We bought and paid for the space so lets use the new stuff and save this board as a backup.

 

The SC3G board isn't as friendly and for some reason has a 4" border around the posts which makes them artificially slim.

 

 

The SC3G board is slow, uninteresting, and doesn't allow attachments. I also hate that a the actual real estate for the message is only a fraction of the page width. Those are my pet peeves. They site was setup for somebody with a 640x480 resolution monitor.

The posting area of SC3G is just about the size of the text area in the reply/new_message and with my big dyno graphs and smack-talking posts it's a PITA to read. On SC3G there is only 11-12 words per line verses TGO which is more than double that.

 

James,
Have you relayed any of this to Frank? He might be able to make some adjustments.

 

You know me, I'm not one to b*tch It's your site. I'm just afraid to put up a large .jpg file over there and make the TI-36X based server crash.

 

The server is Nick's and is located at NetZero HQ IIRC. So I doubt you'll crash it. Now Mike on the other hand, that's another story. I'm sure he can break just about anything.

I'd think Frank would just need to see if he can tweak the template. That would eliminate the the 2" border on each side of the frame.

 

 

I sent this thread to Frank and he is looking at the site.

By the way, our server is now in Northern California. Nick moved it after the last problem and power outtage.

 

Take a look at www.immortalscarclub.com
It looks like the same or very similar web software. The message board window is set to a more normal wide setting. Allowing pictures would help too.

 

Yeah, I would think it's no big deal to adjust the window size so it's not so narrow.

As far as posting pictures, what exactly is the problem? I've posted pictures to the board with no trouble.

 

Custom avatars would be cool also.

 

Mind telling us how to post with the topic?

 

It's the exact same as it is here on TGO. Type your message then click the "IMG" button and type in the image location. If you know a little about HTML, you can just type the code and not bother with the button. Your pic will appear in your message. See my post in this thread:
http://www.sc3g.org/garage/modules.p...iewtopic&t=211

Is that what you were asking?

 

Bret, you can attach a picture to a post on this board, but not on the SC3G board. That is what people are asking for. Not everyone has a server they can put a file on and then use the IMG tags to link to it.

 

Ahhhh, that's very different. I've always used the HTML tags so that's what I'm used to.

 

Yeah like Kevin said.

Can we look into posting picts from our desktop(nonserver stuff)?

Then I can moon you with picts of my Butt like this!
