well done for all the work mate ... any chance you're going to increase the width of the page ?

Funny thing is I did get a code to increase the width to about 90% of the screen page. I think I might need to look at the code again, and I sent you a PM. I hope you can read it and think about it, mate.

well done for all the work mate ... any chance you're going to increase the width of the page ? I got it figured out, apparently all I had to do was edit the code to increase the width to about 1000 pixels. Is this wide enough for everyone? Edit: I tried to increase the avatar size limit to 150x150. Let me know if this works for anybody.

When I first joined the Forum took up most of the screen but now it is not as wide with two big white gaps either side .

Hold down the Ctrl & scroll the mouse & that way you can increase the size but you may have to do this for each page. Perhaps it has more to do with the settings on the monitor? I'm ok with it.

I think you might have a point there Barbie. It might just be the screen resolution of the monitor on the laptop. It`s not a browser issue with FF as it is the same on Chrome.

I use the No Squint add-on from Firefox, so it takes up most of my screen.

Lance , I normally use FF but I also have Chrome so I tried logging into the Forum on Chrome as well but it keeps saying it`s the wrong username/password. I tried retrieving my password through the forgotten password facility and had the e-mail sending me my details but even if I enter these I still get told they are wrong - and these are the details stored by the forum! I did notice that when I go to modify my profile there are 18 dots representing the letters in my password but it only actually consists of 8. Maybe it`s the 18 letter password the forum is wanting but I don`t know what it is and I never entered an 18 letter password in the first place. Confused. It`s OK I`ve sorted it. I just changed my password in FF where I was already logged in and used it in Chrome.

Sorry.! moved it here was a wrong thread. Lance, is there an option as guest or visitor can review the forum, but can't post or reply unless they register? Because I use so many different PCs to view the forums, but don't like to log-in through them. Sorry mate I know I am asking a lot.

No, Sargon, it doesn't look like Pro Board allows that. It has to be one way or the other. I may check into a hack to see if that can be circumvented.
Edit: Got it figured out, I think... I logged out and didn't see a button for Guest to post a reply. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Sargon, and Welshy, you made a very good point about the possibility of turning away potential members. I'm still learning the rope.

As some may have seen, Lance has promoted me to helping with the setting up of the board because we want it to be as smooth and as pleasant a visit as possible. We'll be working on new skins etc.
My 1st hack allows you to put a direct link into your mini profile straight to your dA page if you have one.
Click on Profile >>> Modify profile>>> type your dA username in the relevant space>>>Voila !!
If Lance is agreeable, maybe we could have our 1st comp to choose a new icon made in PDN

Thanks Welshblue. That is easier than putting it in a link under the sig.

What I'm planning is at least 3 comps, a new banner for the forum, icon for the dA link, and possibly a new set of smilies for the forums. I am not fond of the current set, but if everyone is fine with the set, I won't bring it up.

I have an idea for the tutorial zone. The main board and the old Fans board has tutorial sections, but none of them have categories based on skill level. I was thinking of having 3, Beginner, Intermediate, and Master.
What do you think?

The .com gets "eaten."

Leif, don't put in the entire address, just your username, the address will automatically be taken care.

Regarding your idea about tut categories Lance. I think it is a good one as newbies could go straight to the beginner section knowing that they won`t be confused by any complicated effects. They have a similar system on the main forum. If you do implement this idea I would be happy for my Clouds tut to go in the Beginner section. It is in the Newbie Playground on the main forum anyway .
