Re: forum very difficult to use

I agree. Although I did not regularly post I always checked the site a couple times a week. With all the problems I among all others have been having trying to get in and look at posts not even trying to attempt to post it has become to frustrating. If somebody does not get this addressed soon I might just have to forget about this forum. I do not have the patience anymore.

Yeah, it\'s too bad. There were a number of nice-to-have features that were so upscrewed that they probably forced the abandonment of the entire software package.

Some carvers were dumping their pix into the gallery with little intention of participating in the forums. Gone now.
This one is like several other wood working sites so I had half a clue when WCI put this up.

C\'mon, Terry, it\'s not THAT bad!

On the other hand, we could take a cue from New Orleans Saints fans of yore and put paper bags with eyeholes over our heads when we log on...

True. I was a Cubs fan for 30 years.

All I have are plastic bags...

Re: forum very difficult to use

Well, It seems to be getting better to me. Either that or I\'m figuring out its quirks.Priorities to me would be to be able to see the pics with one click after reading the post. Currently it just takes too many steps and the little pictures are too small. Every once in awhile it works great .. is this because of how the poster posted the picture? Maybe using photo bucket or something? Apple MAC user. Latest software. Lar

Re: forum very difficult to use

Hi, Lar.
I also use a Mac. It takes me only one additional click to see the photos. I just right-click on the thumbnail and the choose Open In a New Window from the drop-down menu. BTW, this only takes one click if you hold down the right click, then slide the mouse to the first item in the menu which is the Open In a New Window. When finished looking, I just close that new window. The photos are smaller in some cases because the person showing the photos has made them smaller. I normally make my photos 580 pixels high by 780 pixels wide, or less, after cropping. Easy enough to do in Preview. Once you open someones photo in a new window, to make it larger, just click [Command+] a couple times.

Re: forum very difficult to use

I\'m posting pix into draft threads from Photobucket (cropped and resized) without a hitch.
Copy the IMG code. Then paste into the text. Don\'t use the image link icons or that\'s what the reader will see in the post and they have to LC on that to see the image.

At least the links in Claude\'s post are working.

Thanks Claude!! That was super. It took my wife to show me how using your instructions as I don\'t have a mouse but we finally got it. That makes it much more enjoyable to read. Really appreciate your no how.
The first pic I tried it on was in Holiday and it was a cool Santa. And all be darned if it wasn\'t yours! Clicked another button and now its my screen saver. Computers??

That\'s funny Claude. I can\'t see the bark house unless I go into the living room and look at it!
