Move Complete - Some Feedback From Our Members Here

Hi everyone,

The move to the new software and server is complete. I still plan to spruce up the look of the site a bit but other than that the changes are completed. There may or may not be some permissions issues that we might need to tackle, so let me know if you had access to something in the past but now do not.

Furthermore, I wanted to take a few minutes to give you some brief information on me. My name is Brent Wilson and I am 26. I have run forums since I started my first one at age 17. I recently sold that forum and have been on the lookout for other quality forums that I could buy and improve in fields of interests that I have.

I was contacted by Enrique about purchasing not only this site but a few others as well. I agreed and so we moved on with the process.

I hope that I can help make Orchids Interactive a thriving community and plan to keep things as simple and straight forward as I can here.

With that said, I would like to gauge how many of you would like to see the User Albums return? We can always have a individual forum dedicated to posting pictures of your Orchids. I believe that would keep things simple. It would be one less thing to keep up with as well.

Look forward to hearing your feedback!

 

It will only show up if there is a new post since the last time you checked it out. If you clicked on it from my message it would have been removed.

 

That forum was spammed badly and I feared putting ads on it for that reason. I will gladly grandfather in members here who have helped build Orchids Interactive to where it is now into a supporting member group that doesn't see ads.

I will add you to it now

 

Are you clicking on the threads and viewing them? It *should* not get rid of any threads or posts that you have not read as long as you do not actually click to view the thread.

 

I don't believe there is a Today's post but I will double check to see if it is possible somehow.

 

I believe that is a scenario of where you are on the forum. If you could get a screenshot or point to specific areas I could probably be a bit more specific.

 

You are welcome. I want to work with everyone that made this site what it is. I understand I am an outsider right now and just want to know that you guys are what make the site so I want it to be yours to enjoy.

 

Going forward the past attachments may not show up full size because of the way that the old forum software and new software worked when I moved. Though any new attachments you upload you will have the option of including the full size.

I will increase the thumbnail size to a larger size now, so that even if you don't include the full size you will have a better look at the image as a thumbnail.

 

I have set it to 500px. Unfortunately there is no way for me to rebuild attachments to this size at the moment. All new attachments will be this size though.
