New Features on the Forum

[Dave]

Thanks to Ralph on the Clipper's Busy Corner forum for providing the html code to allow a number of neat features on the forum. Graphics will now appear reduced in posts, such as those in the Cornhill Days thread. This makes them easier to scroll through and you can simply click to enlarge each graphic.

A really neat feature you'll now begin to notice is auto-navigation. When you return to a thread you'll be automatically taken to the last post you read. As threads get longer it's a pain to have to each time manually find your way back to the last post in the thread, so this is a really convenient feature.

Thanks Ralph!
Thanks Clipper!

PS: I did not implement the Valentine's Day counter or the weather bar. Since we're a cross-state (and more) group, I didn't think one zip code's weather would be all that interesting to us.

Dave: I want to post some pics to augment my story in OGH. They will come from my desktop. As usual they will be smallish, and can them be enlarged. Can I go ahead with this?

[Dave]

Sure, go ahead. That's never a problem. Anyone can post any pix here because each doesn't take up space on Proboards.

If you also post the url's from the original OCHS site, we can do a hot link and the graphics will be larger.

You're more than welcome Dave.

A suggestion I would like to make to you is to setup a Photobucket account for you boards graphics (icons, buttons, etc).

I noticed that you had someone request larger icons in some areas.
If you resize what icons you need and then store them in a Photo account set up specifically for that purpose you can insert the http's into the appropriate areas of the admin section for a re-direct.

I set up almost all our icons for Clippers and my bird board that way. Works very well and helps you keep track of it all. Does away with storing everything on pro-boards servers too.
When we went through a server upgrade a couple of years ago we lost a lot of our graphics because of it. Now I don't have to worry about it anymore.

I think you've done a great job setting it up Dave, my hat's off to you!

Thanks, Ralph, and also for the suggestions. For those who don't know, Ralph is responsible for providing us the new features! Most of which I wouldn't have even known about without seeing his work on Clipper's Busy Corner Forum.
