QuoteI'm in two minds as to whether I think this is a good idea. On the one hand it might improve communications and create activity, on the other people might 'chat' things they'd otherwise post and we might end up with less in the threads...

Not sure which way that would go?

Yeh I thought that as well, it could kill a lot of the random chit chat we get up to.

No blue please (:

Also can you put in some code to change backwards smilies to the right way round?

Edit: actually with smiley substitution on you could prob add backwards ones in to the img list?

Leave my smilies alone, they've done nothing to harm you! They just want to be awesome is all.

I don't think the chatbox options is necessary, what with Google Chat, Facebook Chat, MSN, etc. It will definitely just detract from the amount of posting people do.

Plus, there's only so many of you that can fit in my inner circle!

How about a little welcome page on say how tekheads started and whats its all about,clicking the help button is not very useful to joe blogs or anyone.Someting on the lines of so so started tekheads for blah blah etc

Can we have a [imagew]largepicture.jpg [/imagew] funktion that resizes large pictures ?

does anyone here use bbcodextra ? and its custom tags ? I use [youtube]_clipboard_[/youtube] and others really handy when using quick reply.

Brian, that's the actual Tekheads site you're talking about. It's not really anything to do with the forums or that I can change - unless Andy from Tekheads happens to read it 


bear, I take it these are mods on other boards? I don't understand the function of the second one, as for the first I can set a max width/height for posted images and it will resize them, but I chose to leave it for people to decide; sometimes large images are appropriate and other times not I think.

imagew is used on TTi forums  they use  PunBB it is really handy if you have a large 1600 x1200 or bigger and want to resize it automaticly to 800x600 or similar. Also handy for mods who can add a w to the image tag if there is annoyingly large pictures posted.

The second one is the code you right in your custom tag in bbcodeXtra, it make a youtube code of yer clipboard with the youtube link one can also use _selection_

i was on about this...Welcome to Tekforums, a Simple Machines Forum (SMF)!

SMF is an extremely flexible software package that gives forum administrators the ability to tailor their forum to their desires through a large collection of built-in features, additional themes, and custom modifications. As such, it allows for great variance in look and functionality between SMF forums. There are, however, a number of features that are common to all SMF forums, which this help

Is thi still to do with tekheads,sorry i,m confused thought the forums where now independant.

I see what you mean now Brian, You said top right when you meant top left 

I don't think that's actually editable as standard, but I guess it couldn't hurt to have a look later.

The forums are independent of Tekheads, we're just kindly hosting their support section here as a (hopefully) mutually beneficial arrangement.

We can do the same thing here using [ img width=800] so it's pretty flexible

I'll see if there is an equivalent clipboard mod at some point though.

And in the admin you can set it to scale any image added to certain dimensions etc I think as standard etc.

I did link to Nige a plugin that creates a uniform thumbnail method.

Nothing wrong with what people are doing now, I do think a uniform image on post implementation may be a nice idea to keep things neat and tidy but I am not hear nor there about it. In new theme ill make sure it scroll bars at least with overflow.

There is also an imageshack button you can add to upload to imageshack and get the code without leaving the forums.

I think we should have uniform image size to deter people like Eggtastico from posting massive pictures which he cannot be bothered to edit down to a smaller size 

Using this  in my bbcodeXtra seems to work [img width=800]_clipboard_[/img] edit:now bbcodeXtra doesn't work it did but it seems to not work here anylonger ? edit again it does in quick reply but not anywhere else,  editing or new post etc.

As mod I could add width=800 to the tag if I want to resize a to large picture.

I think a 400 by 400 limit with clickable link with lightbox app and if I can look at the plugin code change the lightbox effect to something like zoombox?

[img width=800]largepic.jpg[/img] is clickable-
