Title: Welcome To The New Forum
Post by: mydeacs on July 07, 2012, 11:26:56 PM
Because of the difficulty in controlling spam I have decided its best to restart the forum in a different form.

This will also allow members to sign up in agreement with the terms etc and sort their collections out.

I understand that this will be slow work but im sure it will grow back to its previous massive 40 posts size before too long and have a staggering post rate to impress even the most hardened of sceptics!!

Woot Woot.

No idiots here please.

oky dokey.

Remember to register a collection from the front page under the user name s811

Then all your items will magically appear in your signature with no effort whatsoever, and then people can always check out your collection and flip between it and the forum and post the BBCode and everything, and it will be really exciting if you do that.  ;D

Also, the old forum is there incase this forum goes click instead of bang, but so far no spam sign ups at all. Its like a miracle as the old was getting maybe 30-100 spam sign ups a day.

I was just looking at a graveyard forum here:

http://www.criminalprofiling.com/messageboard/

only 44005 registered users - all spam. Thats what happens to unattended unsecure forums. Touch wood the security here will be good.

You can use this to shrink your pictures online.

http://www.shrinkpictures.com/

Select the 760px option. You'll need to do them one at a time.

If you have a modern operating system you might be abale to resize them in windows explorer.

They need to be less then 1000px wide.

I dont have the massive processing power that Facebook has, but im working on it.

ok

your getting there.

The magic is that each item can have lots of photos. You appear to have duplicated things a bit.

Im just amazed the little green icons have appeared in your signature!!!

See how easy it is to reffer to it now?

Please note that you have not titled them.

Nice collection by the way. Nicely arranged and organised.

You currently have the second best collection on the planet, so well done you!!!!

Well, your in the right place to share your hobby.

If you get a chance you might want to take some pictures of them and start a collection like you'll see on the front page.

Im always interested in seeing how they are deactivated.

Also, welcome to the forum.
