Hi everyone,
I am writing just to let you know that soon (maybe today) i will be upgrading the forum software so there may be some outages.
Hopefully it all goes smoothly,
Cheers, Glen
hi guys, the forum upgrades are still in progress but the main changes are complete <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />
i will explain the main differences as soon as everything is working 100%....please report any strange site behaviour to me.
cheers, glen
I like the new colours... nice and retro. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/xyxthumbs.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />
It felt like i had walked into a 70's kitchen <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

thanks AK. i thought a color change might freshen things up a bit. i still have some work to tweak things here and there but have not had any time today. one of the new features will be a photo/video gallery once i figure out how it works!!! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

also, the way you go about editing messages will be different once I make a few more changes, it will be sort of like writing in Microsoft Word (i.e a rich text editor) where you can easily make text bold or large or a different color very easily. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/xyxthumbs.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />
another change is that topics can now be "rated" with up to 5 stars if they are found to be helpful.
Cheers, Glen
Hi everyone,
One of the new features of the upgraded forum is a
[color="#ff0000"]Rich[/color] [color="#33cc00"]Text[/color][color="#3333ff"] Editor[/color] that allows you to
more easily edit your posts in the forum.
To turn it
ON, you can go to -->
My Controls > Options > Board Settings > Posting Settings >
...and change
"Type of text editor to use when posting" to
[color="#ff6600"]"Rich Text Editor"[/color]
The reason it is not turned on by default is because it won't work with old browsers..you need either Internet Explorer 6 (IE6), Mozilla or Firefox (not sure about Opera).

Looks great Glen well done
Looks a bit loud when you have a hangover though <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/beer_mug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':beer' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/beer_mug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':beer' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

thanks for the feedback supersquid. if it is too loud i can easily go back to old blue color scheme...maybe i can run a quick poll to see what people think...please be honest...I won't be offended! honest! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':woot:' />
Cheers, Glen
p.s. I added a poll in this thread <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/xyxthumbs.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Glen,
I like the new colour scheme, a good change. Good work with maintaining this site as well!

I will just mention briefly that I have added a few new images and video to the photo gallery. I am mainly just getting used to how it works. The admin controls behind the scenes are a bit complicated!
Members can create their your own photo albums too. If you do decide to do this, please keep the images tasteful! This is a family website <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />
The gallery can be accessed using the link on the
TOP RIGHT of the forum, or you can click here:

Thanks very much, Glen
I have had a further think about the gallery. Please only post fishing or squid related pictures!
Cheers, Glen
Seriously Glen I reckon it looks great well done
