    Ads inside posts

    It takes money to pay for bandwidth, software, and all of the bells and whistles for you to be able to get your questions answered for free. I've been to websites that flood the pages with adverts and pop-ups/pop-unders so badly, it was hard to distinguish what I was even looking for. The...

    I really think we need more than 2 forums for Dish Network stuff

    You will always have people that post in the wrong forums, even if you leave paired down to 2. I've even seen cross posts for E* in the D* forums. It is hard to eliminate 'Newb' confusion. Just look at how many times questions could be answered if people used 'search'. I understand Scotts...

    I really think we need more than 2 forums for Dish Network stuff

    Dish now has 2 forums. In other news... HD and HD related has no less than 10 seperate forums. At least break Dish up into 4 to make it a little easier to wade through: 2 - 1-DVR and 1-Non-DVR for Equipment forums 1- Programming 1- Install/Technical My 2¢

    "My Posts"

    That is a nifty trick BFG.:up I took it one step further. (For me or any of my friends) Just substitute a particular user# after u= http://www.satelliteguys.us/search.php?do=finduser&u=insert# Then save it as a favorite or even a desktop link. To find a user#, just hover over a...

    Always signing in everytime I visit

    Shot in the dark, but have you installed POWERTOYS lately or changed a setting in your browser/security to empty cookies when you close out your browser. I had to sign in a few weeks ago after I did something like that. But have been fine since. In IE, you can set satelliteguys to always...

    System Work Being Done

    Would any of this cause attachment uploads to fail? I tried to upload a 4.96MB pdf last night in the FTA section and it would go through the whole process and then fail. I even zipped it and tried again. No Joy. 5 times total. Finally uploading it onto my server and 'uploading from URL'...

    Title Post Icons Awry?

    Cleared - The ALT Text does not match the icons. <td width="12%"><label for="rb_iconid_3"><img src="http://www.satelliteguys.us/images/icons/icon3.gif" alt="Lightbulb" id="pi_3" onclick="rb_iconid_3.click()" /></label></td> icon3.gif - - Clipboard when ALT says its a 'lightbulb'...

    Title Post Icons Awry?

    Anyone notice the change in title post icons? The lightbulb is now a clipboard, Thumbs up is a green check and thumbs down is a red x but their descriptions(hover over them) still are of the old icons. No biggie... Just wanted to let ya know I am watching... ;)

    Lots of new stuff!

    I used to work for V/MC/Discover reseller. There are a few things you need to find out before jumping on this. Equipment Lease: Some places require up to 48 months and it isn't negotiable. You are locked in. Buying the terminal is always cheaper. Especially if you plan on taking CC for...

    Preview Post - Stripping Paragragh Spacing

    Anyone else notice this: Before Preview: This has been bothering me for several days and I haven't seen mention.. If I Preview my post before submitting it, the text box comes back all scrunched together with no paragragh spacing even though the post looks good. If I preview it again...

    SatelliteGuys Newsletter

    Got mine in email yesterday. I think it is a super idea! Sometimes I miss things due to oversight or being hurried or AFK(away from keyboard). A monthly highlights update is just the ticket and I really enjoyed both of the members submitted 'Tip of the month'! I've seen astounding growth from...

    Re-use attachments

    I think I found another way iff you add &thumb=1 you don't have to make copies of the original... Code: (Ignore the PHP it was the only way to display the code for you) One final note.. You can use this code to display ANY attachment on SGUS, not just your own... Over and over and...

    Re-use attachments

    Not that I can see... You can put it inline like below... *IMG* http://www.satelliteguys.us/attachment.php?attachmentid=5503 [ /IMG ] But low-bandwidth users have to wait for it to load and is not good nettiquette. You could make a thumbnail sized image of the original and LINK to...

    PDA Version Now Available!

    You can use about any Windows CE driven handheld. Some of the newer ones have a built in 802.11b so as long as you configure it to your home network, there is no extra cost. (Just unit cost) I bought my iPAQ on ebay for $225 last year for a HT remote and use it for everything now. Speed, I...

    PDA Version Now Available!

    it also strips the SIG/Tagline from a memb3rs post. Considering the length of some Sig's, this might be a good thing. ;) You can tell if someone enters a msg in PDA mode at the very least. (3rd time entering this cuz the 'HOME' icon is below spacebar in kybd mode. Grrrr..)

    PDA Version Now Available!

    I don't see any settings that I can change. It may just be a shortcoming of Win CE and /or Java. (looking on PC while entering msg on PDA) I've looked at the source code, but it's above me. It will also trash it on a regular PC in PDA mode. So one could assume it might even be the vbulletin...

    PDA Version Now Available!

    Works with iPAQ Using my iPAQ now to enter this message. :) The only problem I had is that PREVIEW message shows my message preview, but the message box didn't populate with my text and I had to re-enter it again. It works fine if you just Submit w/o Preview.
