http://www.biggreenegg.com/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=103&func=showcat&catid=1 [p]Anyone seen the new board look on the .com site? check it out. [p]Also look for your "ranking" on your posted replies. I came in at Expert Egger .. Mad Max is a Platinum and Molly is a Gold Egger. It even shows the number of posts you have. It will be on the reply in the upper right corner of the reply. [p]Maybe I am behind the times ... but thought I would pass it on. [p]For some reason the original version of this did not appear on the "old" look site so I am reposting it here.[p]Doug

  • Smoked Signals,
    WMK ... can we view the Egger Ratings anywhere? i.e. who's at what level and how many posts it takes to get to each level? What is the top level? Master Yoda Egger?[p]BTW ... when I posted on the "new look" .com site ... it did not show up at the standard club egg.[p]Thanks,
    Doug

    The "wormhole" to the "alternate universe" is one way. Only posts from here show up over there -- posts from there do not get here. We are working on the font size and a few other issues before we can switch our forum over to the new format.
    We have made every effort to make the new forum as much like the old one as is possible. They are not exactly the same, but hopefully close enough for a starting point.[p]
    The new forum has a number of new features, like image upload, rss feeds, "karma" ratings, simley thingys, "bbcode" editor, etc. We've tried to make these new widgets as unobtrusive as possible in the "classic" views w/out removing them altogether.[p]
    We need to improve the image upload capabilities as well: what size images do ya'll need to upload?[p]

    Smoked Signals, do I need a new user name and password to register? I tried the one I use here and it says invalid.

    WMK,[p]For those of us in the dialup world still (yeah, I know, dark ages), it would be nice to LIMIT the size of the images that are uploaded to something like 480 x 640 or something like that, where a click on the smaller image gives you the big one, if folks want "bigger is better".[p]The new website is wonderful, but is much slower than the current (again from a dialup perspective), so anything that we can do to minimize the impact on the last few of us who are not in the fast lane would be GREATLY appreciated!

    It may be an entertaining stat, but the "Egger Rating" is not a very accurate measure of anyone's knowledge, just how vocal they are. Gold? Platinum? Expert? Do we get a special pin at each level? I may have to post more. LOL.[p]Jim

    JSlot,[p]And further, some may say that the more some folks say, the less they know...

    Before your first login, you'll need to "activate" your profile on the new site. You may do that here[p][p]This is a one-time process.[p]

    QBabe,
    There is already a size limit on uploaded images in the forum. I think it is set to 640 x 480. Are you seeing slow load times only on large pictures?

    WMK,[p]No, unfortunately, I see the slow load just pulling up a post and going back and forth between the threads...[p]I'm sure it's because of the ancient dialup, but was very aware of all the hard work you've put into this thing, so wasn't going to worry about it, since I know I'm probably in a minority. [p]But, since you ask, if there IS anything that can be done to speed things up for us folks still in the dark ages, that would be fantastic![p]Thanks,
    Tonia
