SawmillCreek Upgrade

[Aaron Koehl]

Well - the thumbnail idea is okay.

But what REALLY stinks is that it opens in a new browser window.

Aaron - can that be changed somehow?

Certainly, it's done. For those that still want the images to open up in a new window, simply SHIFT+CLICK the image.

You sir, are one good dude.

My programable mouse with special back button (and me) are forever indebted.

Aaron, In case it hasn't been mentioned, the Quick Reply now allows a "double post"...happened to me in the Combo Machine thread in the GW forum. I left the duplicate there in case you want to look at things.

Oh, and I'm one of the folks that prefers the pics to open in a separate window...can that be configurable in one's profile? (It keeps me from accidentally completely closing the SMC session when I forget to use the back-page function of the browser...)

[Loy Hawes]

Jim,if your mouse has a middle button,try middle clicking the thumbnail. It should open in a new tab.

The smilies don't work for me either, Macintosh and latest Safari browser.

I don't see any directions for using any of the new features such as posting pics inline with text.

I belong to another vBullitin site (WetCanvas) which has a feature called "image uploader" accessed through "Quick Links" which is what we use to upload images which are placed where we want them in the text. There, thumbs are uploaded the way we used to do them here ("manage attachments"). Now I don't even see that! I'm assuming it has been replaced by the paperclip icon, which doesn't do anything when I click on it.
If my smilies worked, you would be seeing a frown here.

I'm not a techy, so a lot of what has been said as far as workarounds goes right over my head. Hopefully better heads than mine will figure out this new business

I'm using

Picture 4.png

on OS X, 10.4.2



I could not use Picture 1.png until I upgraded to Picture 2.png

Smilies also work as they used to.


Calling this WYSIWYG editor is a bit of a stretch.

PS Why is the following attachment showing on the post?

[Aaron Koehl]

We simply don't have any control over what browser our users are using.. the only thing I can recommend (and that your vendors recommend) is that you continue to upgrade to the latest versions of their software.

Note: There isn't any Java on this site, so if your browser doesn't have the Java plug-in installed, everything should still work fine. Safari had some bug fixes that came along with that upgrade.

Also, George, I'm not sure I understand your question in your PostScript..

Aaron, After some more testing I have found that none of the buttons around the text box work for me in Firefox. I can't attach pictures, add links, no smilley faces, nothing. When I float the mouse pointer over a button I get the description of the icon/button, but the icon does not change like it does in IE. When I'm in IE however, the buttons seem to respond just fine.

I think I have finally discovered my problem. Every time I open the text edit box javascript errors are generated. Such as this one: Error: vB_Editor is not defined Source File: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/clientsc...in_textedit.js Line: 2893 I tried reinstalling Firefox, but it didn't help. It works fine at home, just not here at work. Any ideas as to what to do? One other thing I have noticed. The editor seems to ignore newlines so everything just runs together. Larry

Sounds like you have a cached copy of the old .js file.. can you empty your cache?

[Roy Wall]

Aaron,

I wish the thumbnail opened to a larger photo...........???? Any possibilities.......???

How would I empty my cache?

They do.. Unless the picture that was uploaded is already under 200 pixels...

Hey! I figured it out! Aaron, you were right about clearing the cache

Everything works now!!!!
Thanks for your help.
For those of you that may also be having this problem.
In Firefox Menu bar:
Tools>Options...
Then select Privacy
Press the Clear button next to Cache

It works great!!!!!

OK Larry, the next question SCREAMS to be asked: What "BIG DAY"????

That picture was taken a few years ago when I was working on a big project in Munich Germany. We had just loaded over 3 million rows of data into our then new Engineering database. All of the programs had worked well and the data was all there and RIGHT to boot!. We were proud of ourselves

And I was proud of myself for getting the text edit icons working in Firefox, so I thought the picture was appropriate.
