Forum Suggestions?

haha missed in translation, and I meant to put a on it too.

I agree with your assessment. I will also admit I got miffed at the guy during the conversation, but I always liked him (That is probably why I got miffed) and was not at all happy, even being frustrated with him at the time, when all this happened. I chuckled at his Lebowski reference, I thought everything was defused at that point.

Some people take the internet too seriously…....I am one of them 

Adam is a good guy, be nice to see him back but I understand why that might not happen.

Adam left of his own volition.  He was given a temporary time out, he didn't think it was appropriate, and so he asked Giles to delete his account.

It's also hard to hold a rational debate on a forum. Written word is perceived differently than conversation. Had this all gone down face to face, everyone would be having a beer by now.

If anyone wants Adam's email addy, PM me...

[Giles]

Adam was given a one week ban for violating a forum rule.  He was an old-timer so full well knew the rules.  The decision to give him the ban was a decision jointly made by the forum mods online at the time.  Adam then rejoined under a different user name and was more than a little personal.

He asked me to delete both accounts.  I took the decision to delete the troll account but to leave his primary account with the one week ban.  I was hoping that in the cold light of day, the red mist may have lifted a little.  And like most of the people above, I enjoyed his posts, loved his photo's and thought he was a great guy to have around.

After the weeks ban was up, he came back into the forum and started modifying posts, thus changing the perception of what had actually happened.  At this point the mods made the decision to grant his wish and ban him.  When a member becomes spiteful and vengeful, for whatever reason, it is best that they are shown the door.

Big, juicy man butts. That's all I want

We need more asses on the forum - stat!..

[irishexpat]

not sure if this has been said yet….but postimage...sucks.

any way to just use imgur? or some other embedding where clicking on the image leads to a bigger picture of the image?

[Chris]

You can always post images this way.

[mclaincausey]

postimage (which fucking sucks) actually supports sane click-bigger image behavior. The issue is that the URL to do so goes to the root of the postimage domain instead of to the image itself. I manually make the edit to the URL when I use the browser based image upload and it works.

I use tumblr and just copy/paste it's URLs to images. It posts a 1080 sized image which this forum shrinks to 640*480 which enable the click for bigger….

[Giles]

I use photofuckit with no issues.  We put PostImage there to make things easier for dopes….

[gaseousclay]

Don't know if this would be the appropriate thread but i'll plant my suggestion here. When you start new threads for product could you automatically specify a list of vendors that will be carrying the item? The question gets asked every time and it might save you the time and effort if the information were already there.

[Giles]

We could do that no probs

[Madame Buttonfly]

Thanks @gaseousclay - this has been added to new product checklist 

[UnTucked]

A very awesome idea, and great implementation.

Good for the customers, and retailers. I know that the majority of the time, I totally forget that there are other places to buy IH gear when it's sold out here.
