Robert, when I scanned all the scary planned upgrades to the Message Board, my brain went into "park". I enjoy watching some television programs, but am glad I don't have to be an electronics wizard to do so... But keep up the good work! I spend hours each day reading the DR1 (& even post occasionally!) Warm regards... Canadian Bob.

Pretty impressive, also gives me more of an idea of what goes on behind the scenes.

so when are we getting avatars?

Or when will it be easy to post photos?

You can post photos now, you just cannot post them as attachments.
This eliminates us having problems with idiots uploading porn etc.

Maybe.... But the rules will be extremely tight and only for certain posting levels. They burn a huge amount of bandwidth that someone has to pay for :)

Another question: How can you reduce the size of a photograph so it fits....all my photos are way over the 100kb size allowed....

How would you know who's on Robert's buddy list? Wouldn't that be private to him?

BTW, what does it mean to add someone to your Buddy List?

Nothing personal Gregg you're avatars look great ;)

but in all honesty I've been on some boards that posters have so many avatars and sayings that it's so hard to look for the actual post. :ermm:

You can see when they're on ( big deal) unless invisible or when sending messages you just click on their names or something like that.

The ignore button is more fun ;)

Yes, of course it's private. HB is trying to be funny...

And this is another reason if it ever happens here, it will only be for posters that are Silver/Gold or above.
