New Forums & Restructuring

[hartsjc]

Forum change looks good. I also agree that topics should not be changable.

There appears to be some HTML issues with Netscape 4.75 (use it on my HP-UX boxes) with some pictures in sig lines. I think woodstock falls into that category (if memory serves me right). Then again that version of netscape is very strict to the RFCs about all of it tags and newline characters. So not a big deal.

Muhammad,

Under View Recent Messages... would it be possible to also "sort" the subject field at the same time as the screen loads the last xx hours messages...?

Then also have a "view next message mode" so with one mouse click you can view by subject, in alphabetical and chronological order , reply on the fly, and not lose your place while reviewing... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Those are things we'll look at adding in the future ... probably can't do them right now, though.

Conceptually, I like the idea of sub-subjects. But if this is not practical, I am firmly in the anti-transmogrification camp, with one further thought. Maybe the originator of the thread should be the only one with transmogrification rights.

 

[MChalkley]

Yeah, me too. (I have no idea what he said, but I definitely want to be on Glennmac's side. In fact, I hereby nominate him official spokesperson of the trans-what-he-said camp.) /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Muhammad, after scanning through all these posts (and being attacked by a roving band of chipmunks /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif) I didn't see anything requesting a forum totally dedicated to "Useful Links" where we could list a topic and post a link in the body of the message. This could even be subdivided into "Tractor Related Links" and "Non-Tractor Links" so the off-topics would be separated. I don't know what everyone else thinks, but I have caught myself many times searching through multiple forums for a link that I knew was there, but just didn't know where. This forum wouldn't stop someone from posting a link in any other forum, but I think it could develop into a good resource for research. ...my two cents... I do like all your changes and I'm a big fan of this site. It's informative and fun./w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif

We'll be taking care of that with an entire links section. It's in the works.

 

[jinman]

Thanks Muhammad. I'd seen the links section, but I'm guessing that those links posted there will set by you. If we discover a good link, we can submit that to you with a request for posting? It will be a welcomed addition no matter what structure it takes.

It will be as advanced for a links directory as this is for a discussion forum. Categories, subcategories, ratings, descriptions, new links, most popular, highest rated, search, etc ... Yes, you'll be able to add links. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Don't get us too excited now.../w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

What's the chances, next year TBN members meet up at say @ Empire Farm Days in August 2002...?

That means you too... Mr. Muhammad... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

 

[Muhammad]

Well, we shall see. New York state fair comes in February ... should see all the new stuff there. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

 

[Anonymous Poster]

I've never gone then... too cold and slippery/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif... what is the exact name of the event and is it the same place as NYS Fairgrounds in Syracuse...?
{also, post exact dates & times when available}

 

[Muhammad]

Actually, a correction. It's not the NYS fair ... but rather the New York State Farm Show, put on by Farm Progress.

2002 NY Farm Show
February 21-23, 2002
New York State Fair Grounds
Syracuse, New York
Admission: $5

Hey John, take a break from the weather and come on down to the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo which runs from January 12 thru February 3 in 2002. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Muhammad,

I tried to "attach" a PDF file, but won't accept... Will this be addressed in the new version coming out tomorrow...?

I know, I can use a url to make it work off a server, but the file is on my unit...

"You are what you eat, drink, think, say and do..."

 

[Muhammad]

Yeah, I suppose I could add that in as a last-minute thing ... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
