  1. Well, that's fair enough. But there are some simple things that can be done to resolve some of the issues. For instance, people not liking images being repeated over and over as people quote replies with quotes in them. I sent you the solution to that yesterday. People posting incorrectly in the Tutorials section. Remove member's abilities to start new threads in there and get the mods to move the tutorial into that section. People swearing. Install a word filter. I know you're trying to keep this as a family website, so replace the word with asteriks. Images that case sideways scrolling. Install a picture resizer or encourage people to use thumbnails. Newbies not using the search function. Remove their ability to start new threads until they've posted 10 times or make the search function more obvious. And relax. This place is supposed to be fun but everyone is attacking everyone. Remember when the Slam thread was around. Everyone could attack everyone else just for a laugh and some fun. If someone had something to say about someone else, they said it in there, not in the middle of a topic about whether LMII die is better than StewMac stuff. But that's just my 2 cents.
  2. No no no, it's got nothing to do with trying to stir up anything. It's just that I find Americans to be quite strict with things. Perhaps strict is the wrong word but deleting people's posts or otherwise editting can come across wrongly, even if the content of the post was against the rules. But no, I am seriously not trying to stir up any trouble for favouritism or another else like that.
  3. Quick question - are all the moderators either American or Austrailian?
  4. Ever since the slam thread was closed, everyone has been taking everything WAY too seriously. Christ, it's like everyone gave up smoking and now they're biting everyones heads off. I have a few ideas for this place but I seriously doubt anyone in power would listen.
  5. 6 AAs will last much longer than a single 9V though.
  6. I'm here with a 2048/128 line with a 1024/128 downstairs for one of my housemates. Have a 2048/2048 wireless connection on order at the moment. Paying about €45 per month between 4 for the 2 meg synchronous connection.

  9. The only problem with the file size idea is it would have to be done server side meaning it would have to read the image from wherever it was hosted (PhotoBucket for instance), get the file size (even height by width would give an approximate size). Then it would edit the users post before it's actually posted. I think it's possibly but I'll have to install IPB on my own server first to have a tweak with it.
  10. http://forums.invisionize.com/index.php?sh...dpost&p=1386039 Another way to resize the pics.
  11. Cos newbies won't do that. Then all the "regulars" will start bitching at them and everyone will start attacking each other again. Where as, if all control is removed from the newbies by an automated script, no one can bitch about anything. Of course, they'll probably find a way
  12. Yes, I know. I said that. LGM's biggest annoyance from what I've read over previous threads is the fact that large pictures will result in a scroll bar. That java script would solve that problem, even if the whole image has to be loaded. In order to stop big pictures, filesize-wise, from being loaded, they'll need a server side script to get the file size of the image and then decide whether to post and resize it or to just provide a link.
  13. Basically, there's two main complaints that I can see on this forum about pics: 1) People don't like having to scroll sideways 2) People on Dial Up are crippled with big pictures To solve the first one, I'm sure there a hack on the net or one could be written to simply resize the picture to 600 wide but the whole picture would have to be read. To solve the second one, write code to get the file size of the picture. If it's over a certain size, eg 20K, don't display it. If it is less than 20K but bigger than 600 wide, the first bit of code should fix it. As for pictures being displayed in Quotes, just disable tags in quotes. Or just allow one previous message to be quoted eg: I agree Instead of: lol OMG I agree Automated Image Resizers for IPB2 http://www.mods.invisionize.com/db/index.php?f=4552 http://www.mods.invisionize.com/db/index.php?f=4445 Reckon the first one is the way to go.
  14. Hee, I remember that. Basically, it was just a telescopic arm that you could control with your little finger while tapping on the fretboard. Cos of the extra length of the arm, it was easier to move the trem.
  15. A quick forum code hack would solve all of those problems tbh.
  16. http://www.thomann.de/thoiw6_jackson_rr5bk...e_prodinfo.html That's still my idea of a V though
  17. LGM have extended range fretboards. http://www.lgmguitars.com
  18. OK then. Double click on that. Go to Options - Properties. Clicking Recording. Make sure all the options are clicked. Click ok. Select mic in or line in (whichever you have your guitar connected to). Turn the volume to full. Check to see if Guitar Rig works.
  19. Hey, your guitar, your money, your choice. I'm just giving my opinion that they look tacky.
  20. Do you have a small speaker icon in your System Tray(bottom right of the screen)? You may have to click a little left arrow to see.
