thewoodwhisperer Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I had a big post I was going to attempt but this forum software doesn't like the weird links to photos the gallery 2.0 software makes. What do these weird links look like? Most standard links should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 This I think is the best looking forum that you have had yet Marc.. I think that I like it. Everyone else, I think that we should start a pool on how long this one is going to last.. Sac haha now that's funny. I really don't plan on moving any more. I promise.

Larry Marshall Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yippee...another forum...I think. Let's see...according to the Wood Whisperer I'm supposed to register. Did that. Then I'm supposed to: - Upload some pictures to the gallery. - Check out the growing SketchUp Library - Post in the forums - Start a blog What kind of pictures? Does Nicole read this forum (grin)? A growing SketchUp library. Cool! Want a copy of my bathroom? Didn't think so. Ah...finally something that I can do...post in the forums. I'm doing that. And I can start a blog. Already got one of those and sometimes wonder why :-) Thanks, Marc, for setting this up. Cheers --- Larry "aka Woodnbits" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nateswoodworks Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I don't like who's on third base, I think we should trade him for 2.2 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMarshall Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 And I can start a blog. Already got one of those and sometimes wonder why :-) Hey Larry don't put your blog down. I always enjoy the read - the saw info you posted was great! But I still don't want to see your bathroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bem1492 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Thanks for the nice looking site upgrades, Marc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singlespeed68 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Thanks for the site, and the whole Woodwhisper guild. I think I'm going to like it here. I belong to a local woodworking club, and I'm out aged by min. 20 years, so I don't fit their click, here I feel at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcm44 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 What do these weird links look like? Most standard links should work. Like this: http://niblet.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=12121&g2_serialNumber=2&g2_GALLERYSID=d71fa99fb705ebd6462d4e04b5399533 I think Gallery just caches the thumbnails and smaller versions of the photos. It doesn't actually resize them to make a new .jpg file. The cached file seems to work for with forums like woodnet and phpBB software. Such is technology though.

LordLQQK Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 What is an avitar? Anything like a mortising chisel? I don't get out much. Not sure if you are joking or not so I'll take it at face value. Your avatar is the picture you set up in your profile as a graphic ID for yourself. Mine happens to be my picture.....but it can be anything. This forum (I think) requires avatar photos to be 150x150 pixels square, make sure it is square on all four sides though (ok, bad humor) and under 50KB, could be mistaken. Anyway, some forums, this site included, allows the use of "global avatars"; avatars that are setup on one site (i.e. gravatar.com) and then can be used across many sites.

thewoodwhisperer Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 That's a good point. Gravatars are very handy. Set one up and these you'll find you'll automatically have your picture included on blog too if you like to leave comments. TheWoodWhisperer.com works this way.

PMR Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Since you guys are here, I have my photo I want to use but don't know how to size it so I don't get the error "to large" can you offer some advice??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordLQQK Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Since you guys are here, I have my photo I want to use but don't know how to size it so I don't get the error "to large" can you offer some advice??? You can use paint or almost any graphic editor to reduce the image size. Generally it is the image size that you want to manipulate. Reduce it down to 150x150 or slightly less. If you are having a hard time post a link to the picture here and I'll reduce it and repost it tomorrow morning. LQQK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Here are the avatar requirements: 90 pixels by 90 pixels in size. Uploaded avatars from your computer must be no larger than 50 KB. And the personal photo requirements: 150 x 150 pixels No larger than 100 KB. I will also offer help for anyone having trouble resizing. Just email me the image and I'll hook ya up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
