We've added an image gallery and a place for web links. You can access the Links from the main menu near the top of your screen, and the gallery from within the Member Options menu to the right of that. :slide:

There are some kinks that I have yet to work out of both of these (such as the categories not showing up on the Links page), so please don't go hogwild uploading images and links until further notice. In a worst case scenario I may end up having to delete everything and start over tomorrow.

Edited to add: The Gallery (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/gallery/index.php) and Links (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/links) mods are now installed and configured permanently.

Please feel free to upload images and web links as you wish.

I was just going to ask about the category issue.

Don't worry at all about deleting those photos I've uploaded if you need to, vm.

I was trying to figure out how the whole category thing worked...and had not read this post til after I already uploaded.

Thanks again for working on it.

:yup:

Glad you like it, Ronin. :)

By the way, feel free to upload as much as you want tonight if you don't mind it being deleted (if necessary) tomorrow. It's probably not going to be necessary anyway, though.

Now I lay me down to :bed:

I think what you're looking for, JD, is the classic nana combo.

New features: :banana:

But don't use 'em: :sadnana:

Oh well, doesn't matter now. Next time. Meanwhile, both Links and the Gallery and happily puttering along now, thanks to vm and Brian. :)

Thanks, everyone, for all the hard work you've done...and all the hard work you're going to be doing. :wink:

The classic nana combo? Would you like to supersize that, ma'am?

:giggle: I think they overwhelm just a wee bit, don't you? I prefer the subtle, understated one-two banana punch.

What kind of links may we upload, vm? MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'd say follow the same guidelines (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49) we have for posts. Basically nothing illegal, riddled with viruses, etc. :)

Should I be able to view the comments to the posted images? 'Cuz they don't show up for me. :(

viscousmemories

Hmm. I forget, what browser are you using?

pescifish
02-19-2005, 05:46 PM
MSIE 6.02 on winXP SP2

Odd, I haven't seen any problems with IE.

Just to make sure you know, replies are only on the individual image page. In other words if you go to the Travel gallery for example, you won't see any replies under the images there. You have to click on an individual image to get to the page that has the replies beneath it. Is that maybe the issue? :chin:

pescifish
02-19-2005, 06:18 PM
No, I don't think so. I believe I am at the individual image page. It shows the fullsize image, information about the image, then a "new reply" button, an empty section titled "Replies to image:.....", then the "Quick Reply" section.

If you had one of your test images still in there, I'd get a screenshot of what I see. I'm not inclined to take a screenshot of one of the member's pics and post it here because that would make it viewable by non-registered guests.

Also, I get a bad link message when I click on the little summation symbol that usually means "go to last post" in the "Last Post" column for any of the images.

viscousmemories

Okay cool. I'll upload a test pic now.

The broken icon link to "last post" I already knew about, but thanks for pointing it out. :)

Okay, here's everything I could think of to show you what I'm getting:

First, I select Member Options/Gallery from the drop down menus:
FF Gallery Main index (http://www.pescifish.net/FFGalleryTestingReplies/FFGalleryMain.gif)

Next, I click "The Arts" link:
FF Gallery/The Arts index page (http://www.pescifish.net/FFGalleryTestingReplies/FFGalleryTheArts.jpg)

....from there I click on the image:
FF Gallery/The Arts/Testing Replies (http://www.pescifish.net/FFGalleryTestingReplies/FFGalleryFromTheArtsImageClick.jpg)

The other links from the FF Gallery main index produce the same page, but I took screen shots so that you could see the url addy that each of those links went to (shown in my browser's Address box):
Link #1 from FF Gallery Main index (http://www.pescifish.net/FFGalleryTestingReplies/FFGalleryFromMainLink1.jpg)
Link #2 from FF Gallery Main index (http://www.pescifish.net/FFGalleryTestingReplies/FFGalleryFromMainLink2.jpg)

I think I've got the same problem as pesci:

http://www.eblaforum.org/images/problem.jpg

This happens to me in both IE and Opera, so I'm assuming it's got something to do with me being born in something not entirely unlike a barn.

Well at least that gives me the chance to think better of the wide range of insults and slurs I posted under your pic.

:queen: We're just really special, Celsus! :king:

And yeah, that's really gotta suck not to be able to see the comments people post on your own picture!! My sympathies.

02-19-2005, 08:13 PM
I suspect JoeP is in the same boat, pesci, so that makes 3 of you really special. There's a thread on the subject at the vbGallery forum; the same thing seems to have happened on at least 2 other forums.

Luckily you're already on my ignore list. Oh wait. Hm. Let me think about that...

You're Jesus? I knew there was something fishy about him.

Yeah, well, in my case it's a true story! He wishes he were fishy, 'cuz that's a cool thing, ya know. :girltong:

viscousmemories
02-19-2005, 08:50 PM
Thanks for the detailed explanation and screenshots, pesci. You too, Celsus. I'll see if I can figure out what's going wrong.

viscousmemories
02-19-2005, 08:58 PM
Okay I think I've figured out the problem. Do you guys have the user info block on top of each post, or off to the left? I'm guessing off to the left since I tested it and that makes the replies stop working. I'm looking into why that might be right now.

Celsus
02-19-2005, 09:02 PM
Ah, that did the trick! Now to reply to those heinous insults of your co-admin...

Joel

02-19-2005, 09:46 PM
Yup. I had 'left'. Now that I switched to 'top', the full thread shows up.

Thanks, vm.

(I definitely prefer 'left', so if a fix ever comes through, please consider putting it in so I can switch back.)

viscousmemories
02-19-2005, 09:51 PM
I understand, pesci. I'll have it fixed as soon as I can. :yup:

Brian has fixed this issue for us! It is now possible to view replies to images whether you elect to have the user information displayed on the left or top of each post. :)

A gallery?! Excellent! Now I can upload all 80GB of my scat porn! It's sitting in a folder on my hard drive labeled "What can brown do for you today?" :D
