Awesome site! A few minor suggestions for improvement: 1) send a thank you email when a paypal donation is made, no matter how small 2) put the long version of "recent forum topics" side panel on all the pages, like it is on the front page ( http://www.coincommunity.com/)3) when replying to a topic, inserting an image in spell-check mode clobbers the text. It would be nice to have it kick out of spell check mode before the image is inserted so that the whole message doesn't have to be re-typed. |

1) I always do, however I have been working 2 hours from home, 12 hour days since Saturday. So I've been coming home, going to sleep, getting up and going back. I have a TON of emails to answer, and people waiting on gallery credentials and all kinds of stuff. I will be working on this all day today I'm sure. I apologize, your thank you will be the first thing to go out.  2) On the forum that is extremely difficult to do. The left side panel on the forum is all the same file, regardless of the page. I must set it to a specific number of topics to show. So if I set it to say 20, and you pull up a topic that has one reply, the page will be extremely lopsided. The "lopsidedness" is also affected by each users screen resolution. 3) You are talking about the forum spellchecker right? The button right above the post box? Doesn't do it to me with IE7. What browser are you using? Also, you really should only hit the button when you're all done typing. In fact with IE7, you can't even type in the box while in spellcheck mode. At least I can't. |

Hi bobby131313,
I'm sorry. I didn't want to make work for you or be critical.
1) Actually I was thinking more of an automated response, just to let people know it got there and was received.
2) Maybe then adding separate page for recent forum topics? It is just nice to see a longer list of where people have been posting in the last few minutes. Again, just something to consider when you have time.
3) I checked it again, and it didn't clobber the text. You are right. Must have been something I did that one time.

Don't be silly, no need to apologize. 1) I have a couple issues with that. First, I like to give personal responses, especially to people sending me money. Second, there's the spam issue. If a spam email comes in and an autoresponse is sent, now the spammer knows for a fact that the email address is live and sells it to other spammers. Most people don't realize that probably 75% of spam emails are sent to computer generated guesses of email addresses. Responding to them in any fashion then puts you on the live spam list and makes the address valuable. 2) Great idea, will git 'er done soon. 3) Cool, scratch that one off the list. |

I have a suggestion, also. On another forum I'm familiar with, they have a "Recent Topics" drop-down which is specific to each member, which you can choose" Last one day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 1 week, 2 weeks." You can't see it unless you sign in with an ID & Password. Create a sign-in & you will see what I'm talking about. This is a great tool & a big time-saver. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zeroforum?id=103 |

Yes, except the topics that come up would be specific to the signed-on person viewing, so it will only show specific threads into which the viewer has posted.
Right now, the only way to get that, is to click on my user-name ID & look at the last few threads, where I've posted, that are listed, which is a problem for the following reason: Let's say that I've given a dozen "Welcome greetings" to new members. Now I no longer have any of the threads listed that I've been following.
The way I suggested, ALL the topics would be available for varying time frames up till 2 weeks (or more, if you set it up that way), they wouldn't displace each other (as I mentioned above with the "Welcome" posts) & most importantly, they would be viewer-specific.

I actually like it the way it is because I am not only interested in my postings I am interested in all recent topics

Yea, I'm not likely to change that, especially when the end result can be accomplished with subscriptions.

Good because thats the first thing I do when I come to the forum, I hit the "Active Topics" link and then sort through the topics and see which ones I haven't read yet and I will read those and if I can give assistance I will and if not I will move to the next one. Then after I have read all new topics I may go through the ones I have already read again to see the newest response that was made since I read it last

"I actually like it the way it is because I am not only interested in my postings I am interested in all recent topics."
Me, too, except I don't want to lose track of the dozen or so threads I've posted to & I'm in the middle of.
"Yea, I'm not likely to change that, especially when the end result can be accomplished with subscriptions."
But then, if a dozen people post after my post or thread, I've got a dozen emails per thread; & if I'm in a dozen threads - well, do the math. Suddenly, I've got hundreds of emails.
