The "friends" Feature
by Gbarce- 15 replies
- 4.1k views
I got a message that I was added as a friend my another forum member. I said - wow - new feature! So I started adding forum members as friends too. Basically the regulars that respond to my posts and vice versa. I don't mean to exclude anyone ok, I consider everyone on the forum as my friend But beyond the things that we associate with the term "friend" - what excactly are the intended uses of the feature? Note : I never got the hang of sites like Friendster, My Space, Face Book and other social networking site so please educate me on this.

PalmTalk getting slower and slower
by tropicalb- 35 replies

Okay...is it just me, or does opening PalmTalk nowadays seem to take at least four times as long to load as it ever did BEFORE it was changed over to php? I'm thinking it has a LOT to do with the fact that Palmtalk is now hosting WAY more pictures on its server than it ever did before. All I can say is.....it's REALLY getting slow in here. Dean.....have you noticed this also? Anyone else?

Travel Logs Discussion
by PALM MOD- 27 replies
- 6.7k views
Presently we have a Travel Logs section that mentions in it's description "Botanical Gardens" among other things. We created it after member suggestion and discussion, due to so many nice travel topics appearing in "Discussing Palms." So as long as we have it, we should use it as intended and described. I have not been as strict when enforcing these guidelines as I could/should be, and there is a gray area. I can not read every post anymore. I can't even read every thread anymore. I skim as best I can, but may miss things. So I encourage and appreciate when members report items to me that may need correcting. Consider yourselves as mini-moderators. Please use the "repo…

There are a number of odd and worrisome wacky things going on with the Forum. None of the normal fixes or maintenance are working. Be assured I am aware of this, and am trying everything I can think of. I am awaiting some experts with this software to reply to my inquiries. Let's hope they can help.

I just wanted to clarify the purpose of the Travel Log forum. The description says palm travels eg botanic gardens, but not all threads have been about palms. The recent SoCal hiking thread was very enjoyable, but should I feel guilty when reading it?

Size of photo attachments
by ruskinPalms- 10 replies
- 3k views
Hi Dean, I have recently been experimenting with compressing photos to fit the 112640 byte limit. I feel that uploading photos directly to the forum server may be better than using iffy photo hosting services that may go out of business at any time resulting in a 1000's of broken links to photos making most of my posts less than useful. I think this forum should be able to stand the test of time and not be subject to such failures. However, I have found the 112640 byte limit to be very restrictive to posting at the quality that I am accostomed to by using photo hosting services. Is there any way that this limit can be raised using this current forum software ??? Incide…

New Post Notification

This may sound crazy, but...... My eMail program produces a sound when I get new mail. Is it possable that this program could do the same w/a new post, or would that drive us all crazy? Sometimes I'm reading something and when done go on to another program. If notified of a new post I just might come back to look at it.

View First Unread
by Mats- 1 reply

Dean - Does Ikonboard support 'View First Unread'? VBulletin fourm software allows you view the first unread post in a thread. For example, on a thread that has been around for a couple days, clicking 'View First Unread' would zip you past all the posts you've already read to the first new one. It would be a nice addition if it's available.

Hello Mr. Moderator: I just wanted to report a glitch: For some reason, Jeff Searle's posts are coming out as blanks-- as in nothing on it. Is it just me or are others getting the same thing. Is there a computer Virus on the loose?
