Forum Upgrades - glen - 02-01-2006
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

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).

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:' />

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
