Re: Other permanent ads from the old web site

Hi Terry, I was kind of hoping that people would post their ads here so we could get rid of the old static page. It would be nice to have everything in one place, and if they are posted here then people can ask questions about the products and services. Plus, the old page had to be edited manually i...

Thanks, I will put those on my to-do list. I'll repair those I can, and delete those I can't.

Re: New Website Features Today!

NEW FEATURE I've added the "Links" page from the old site. I don't know how I forgot to transfer it over, but now it's back. Access the links page through the menu to the right of the main web site. Also, I know some of the links may be outdated or broken, I'll get to those as soon as I can. If you...

Regarding the Member List / Gallery

Hi folks, first let me explain a bit about the lists themselves. The old TABC web site had a Member's Gallery, and a Member List. These two were independent of one another. The new forum also has a member list. I plan to merge these three lists into one but it will take some time. For now, here is a...

Re: New Features Today!

Unfortunately there is no good way to do this. The easiest way to make an avatar image is going to a site like Pic Resize , Web Resizer or Photo Resize . Enter 90 pixels as the maximum dimension. If your image is wider than it is tall (landscape) then enter 90 pixels wide. If it is taller than wide ...

Re: A Little Car Show Humor

That's hilareous! And thanks to you posting that link, I have just modified the forum to allow embedding You Tube videos. Just place the video ID (in this case it is IQfZY5rvXX0) between the YouTube tags and voila!

Re: Big Thanks for makng a forum with pictures

That's the main reason that the site is on the narrow side. I figure the membership will be a little older, so computers perhaps also a bit older and screen resolutions lowered a bit. But if people want it wider then it can be done. We could always start a poll. The forum does allow voting polls wit...

Re: New Features Today!

Actually I think it was both of you. Or maybe it was my 1AM fingers. :wtf: At the time of this post, the calendar is only a sneak preview so there is no permanent link yet. It will eventually appear in the top menu. Good suggestion about a list of events being the default. I'll do that now. Ideally ...

Re: New Features Today!

On Gene Olson and David Edgar's suggestion I'm adding an Events Calendar page to the site. If you get any strange errors on the page, please ignore them. I'm still de-bugging the PHP code.

Re: Big Thanks for makng a forum with pictures

I like the zoom feature better than changing text size because it retains the formatting of the site you're viewing. On a PC all you need to do is hold the Control Key and roll the middle mouse button. Can't remember the key on a Mac. Making this site wider is actually a really big deal, unfortunate...

Re: Big Thanks for makng a forum with pictures

I've been considering changing the background. It's a little busy. I liked the idea at first because it looks like a burl wood dashboard. Not entirely convinced on the header image yet, either.
