Build Your Own Clone Message Board

Ok, I see a few Members are struggling to post images, so I adapted this little walkthrough from a tutorial I did for my forum.
Hope you find it useful ...


Picture tutorial - property of Naz Nomad

yeah, i don't get why so many people have problems posting pics!

Thanks Naz!

I always struggle getting pics onto the board, maybe this will help.

cheers

Thanks for that Naz. I find it's such a chore to post pictures. Not all of us are computer inclined.

No probs ... if it helps just one person, it was worth posting.

Thanks Naz! I certainly appreciate it.

Just referred back to this. Posting photos isn't something I have to do often. Thanks again.

Nicely played, Naz. If the other moderators don't have a problem, I'm going to make this a sticky.

Yikes ...all these stickies ... we need them in their own 'Sticky' section.

Have to scroll through half a page of gravy to get to the meat now ... lol

and there I was, thinking you'd be honored.

Don't get me wrong, it's great. I'm just too lazy to scroll down the page a couple inches.

Can I make a suggestion to ye mighty moderators?

I've seen this done on other forums where you end up with a lot of threads you want, but you don't want to overload the section with stickies.

Make one sticky, call it "How-To". In it's subheader say "post pictures, apply decals, build your own cables!" then in the first post, link to those three threads. Then unsticky them. So you've cut down from 3 threads to 1.

Maybe you could also condense the two stickies of Stephens that are both regarding capacitors. One is a conversion from pico-nano-micro, the other is a cap. code chart. Those could definitely both be linked by one "master" cap. sticky?

Just a thought. If it's too much work you could make me a mod and I'd do it

That 'grouping' does work well, but like I said, I wasn't trying to make work for anyone, I'm just a lazy bastid lol

That's why I nominated myself for the job

-J!

If you where to do something to the affect I would also recommend limiting who has posting rights. I would lock it so only selected threads could be added by mods. Keeps from getting just another cluttered thread.

Nice try with the whole mod thing James haha. I know quite a few people on here who are deserving of becoming a mod, couple coming to mind CJ especially along with dragonfly and a few others. People that have been here for quite sometime

I don't really care either way. I've been a mod/admin plenty of times before and it almost always amounts to more work and zero appreciation. I just like jokingly suggesting it every once in a while. This is one of the few forums I visit that actually has moderation under control!

There are many other non-mods who would be ahead of me in line. I guess I assumed they might not want the job or they'd have it already, considering how many mods we do have.

-J!

Yeah know what you mean. The list looks big but some of those mods are inactive and haven't logged on in months.

thanks soo much. i definitely was having a lot of trouble figuring this out. but so simply it was!!

Thanks. I am tech-tarded when it comes to computers.

One thing that has helped my recent pictures is to put away the flash and use a tripod for a good available light shot. The tripod helps even at 800 or 1000 ISO because you don't want it in direct sunlight or you get as much shading as with a flash, plus if you can set it, you can use a smaller aperture to get more depth of focus. Also the colors are more accurate and nothing is washed out.

Thanks guys.. long time I find this information... I'll meet you ... thanks for sharing.
