    Just checking to see if the file up-load is fixed and the upgrade functioning.

    We’re still working on the attachment issue. I’ll post an announcement when it’s functional. There’s a new twist to the system too.

    No worries. Just LOTS AND LOTS of ground to cover.

    By the way, Tom, send your user pic to Koonce to get her fixed up. Can’t have any red X’s ya’ know!

    Yup. We’re golden. What you will notice is there’s a photo in my post yet I said I was checking the attchment function? From now on, any photo that gets added as an attachement automatically gets added to the post as long as it meets two requirments. 1) I must be a .gif or .jpg file. Those are the only two file types allowed. 2) The file size is equal to or smaller than 500 pixels.

    Pretty cool huh? It will save all of us from missing those little teenie weenie words “attachment” at the top of posts containing attachments and make all of us sharing attachments look like we have a little bit ‘o webmaster in each of us!

    Test it out guys and let me know if it works for everyone!

    More cool stuff to come…

    I know… I just saw that! I’ll dig into the config files and see what I can see. I’m going to try an upload on FTL firs tto see if that won’t point me in the right direction.

    Just when you think it’s gonna be easy…

    If in your last post, No!

    If up where you originally posted it, yes!

    Do you have a list of issues started, I have found a couple?

    I made a couple posts on FTL to help me find the source of the problem… I’ve deleted those now.

    This is the place to drop notes on any problems you may have found. I’ll get to ’em, one at a time.

    This is some of the thing Bob and I have noticed, Jon J. too.

    1. The article forum copied ftr stuff but missed the ftl articles during the intergration.

    2. A couple of the ftl forums did not copy march posts over. The date of post on the forum header was correct but when you open the peticular post none of march was there. Mille Lacs and metro lakes (minnetonka) are two we noticed.

    3. When using the Who’s Online page as a shortcut to a post by clicking it by another users location sometime won’t let me in. It says “Access Denied”

    As I remember and find more I’ll relay them to you. Not trying to be a pest, just trying to help.

    Oh, I won’t take you as being a pest… a big help is more like it!

    OK… the item I’m most concerned with is the “access denied” error you’re getting when you try to jump to a users location through the “who’s on-line” board. I can already tell you the problem and that is you are on the FTL site and trying to jump to a river forum. Won’t work. Can’t work. I think the answer is to strip the locations for each visitor when they are in a river specific or lake specific forum and allow locations to be shown for visitors in the shared forums.

    I plan to re-do the articles forum and get rid of the library on the home page. No real need for that anyway. That will get all the articles where they need to be.

    Thanks Tim.

    Thanks for the tip I read on the font size change, GREAT JOB. Launching new app’s isn’t always as easy as the salesmen like to claim.

    My question regarding the pic above is, ‘which one is the toothy critter?’ Without the hat it looks like they may be hard to tell apart. One thing is for sure, I’ll bet they both smell like fish!

    Did he “say” that out loud??? Oh man…………….you keep that up and things might happen to your “Caledonian” title!

    Oh…………..look! Something already has! Would this explain your humorous hostility?

    James,

    I suppose now after my ‘so-so’ attempt @ humor I’ll probably get left behind when I come to fish with you next weekend. Either that or you will make me sit on the big motor all day with cane pole and a big red & white bobber. The comment was too hard to pass up. That gator was a darn nice fish. CPR I’ll bet. Anyway, I guess ‘so-so’ is better than ‘less than average.’

    Aw heck, I only changed it long enough for you to make one notice of it. Now, back to where it belongs.

    Sit on my motor? Heck no. You priced on of those lately. You get the floor and like it!

    See ya’ in a few…

    I want to thank Mike Huppert for pointing out a HUGE bug that was present with our new in-line photo upload system… it was only displaying images for registered users logged in at the time! All the anonymous folks likely thought we were nuts talking about how big this fish was and how nice that photos is, etc. For them, nothing was there but the text. I editted the code just a wee-bit and it looks like everything works the way it should now. Especially for our anonymous visitors!

    Thanks Mike.

    Well, I had registered on both FTL and FTR. I registered much earlier on FTL (fall of ’01) and never posted on FTR. It looks like the FTR data is what became “me” here. So, I am back to being the tender newbie… I guess.

    Hey Schnauzer……I’m with ya there. I am also kind of starting over here now with the newly intergrated forums. I do like the intergration with both sites, but I thought I was on my way to catching Stillakid with the number of posts?

    I don’t remember how many I had on FTL……………but I’m pretty sure it was under 300. Like 250ish, give or take a few. BUT……….I know for a FACT that I wasn’t the “poster hound” on FTL. That crown belonged to Bill Cadwell………..who will, imho, take over on the integrated forum. That guy’s an animal!!! Before the integration, he had more combined posts than I did………….I think. Bill, do you remember what you were up to “back then”? I keep thinking he was over 600, plus he was over 1100 on FTR, for a combined contribution of 1700 posts!

    You know…………..and this is trivial because I know it doesn’t matter a bit compared to the truly important stuff, but with all our FTL posts still being here, but only being credited for FTR posts, the counts are no longer accurate. I mean, no consequence, but for trivial entertainment……………like “Bob taking me down!” , I guess it had it’s place.

    James, is this possible to correct and if so, would you prefer someone else did it so you could keep working on the important issues?

    Hey James !!

    I got a question for you. Before the upgrade, fishing reports would automaticly go to their appropriate forum.It seems that the report I did today , didn’t ….
