can anyone tell me if their are any "bugs" in my bbs at
www.think-cd.com/bbs.htm

all a little tip for all that might not know this but most new AGP vid cards
on pc platform, offer a desktop scheme setting and using this you can set
hotkeys for different res settings (ie. Crtl+Alt+F12 = 800x600) you can use
this to preview your work at different settings and it's easy to jump back a
forth from a higher work environment res to an average browers res.

Hope that helps

We run a Matrox G400 MAX and it works great.

Not bad, I am actually working on one myself. I only saw one message under
technical...web design. I didn't see any anywhere else. I left one under
general...grrls. It worked nicely except for the fact that I had to leave the
group and re-enter to see the update. It would be nice to force a reload at that
point so you know your message made it through. Also, there is a find button at
the bottom of the screen that seemed inactive. I think that's about it, good
job!

was that vid card tip of any use to people???

yeah, I didn't make the script I just implemented it you have to leave the
message area then reenter to come back in, it only took 20 to get up and
running. the find place is supposed to be if you have a lot of message and
you look at one then leave and come back if you click that button it will
send you to where you had scrolled down to previously.

the script for this is available at www.flashplanet.com

no message cuz I put it up last night
ciao

Hi,

I've downloaded the same bbs but I have added some modifications to it which
you might find useful.

1) At the begining, the user is prompted to enter their name, e-mail and url
(all of which are optional). This is useful because the user doesn't have
to re-enter their details everytime they want to post a new message or reply
to one or forward it to themselves etc... (ie it replaces
"us...@somewhere.com")

2) From the above details, the user has the option to switch on "remember
me" function which saves their details locally as a cookie so that they do
not have to re-enter them everytime they visit the bbs.

3) Whenever a message or a reply is sent, the user automatically goes back
to the message list which has been refreshed with the new message/reply.

4) Password facility for the whole site or for individual discussion areas
or individual forums. (If required).

If you would like more info then get back to us.
