Okay, here're my gripes:

1) I get logged off occaisionally when moving through the GD forum. Page 1 okay, page 2 logged off, page 3 okay, etc. No discernable pattern.

2) The red threads (i.e. - modified since my last visit) do the same thing as described in 1) above. Page 1 or 2 has them up to the cutoff point, then the next page is entirely red.

3) When I click the IM Mail: New button, I get a window with the AR15.com GD Forum screen and a red IM button. Click it, same thing. Have to go in three or four levels before the flippin IM screen comes up.

Questions:

1) Can images be made part of your autosig? If so, how? If not, why not? (I'm looking for a technical reason simply for my own education. I'm not being critical, here.)

2) Why is it when I upload a GIF file, I can't get the thumbnails to work? Is there a special way of creating thumbnails for GIF's?

3) Can GIF files support transparency? (Doesn't seem to be the case, but I'll ask anyway.)

4) When uploading an image with the same name, I get two red X's in the spots where the image and thumbnail are supposed to be previewed. Hardly a big deal, but included FYI.

All this being said, I love this place and am very happy that, after trolling for free for two years, I became a paying member. Best $60 I've ever spent on the web.

Woops. Didn't know there was a Tech Support forum.

To whoever moved this thing, thanks, but let me know next time! It up and vanished right under my nose! [:)]

Gonna work on this today. Top priority. Make sure if it looks like you're logged off, you hit refresh/reload and see if it's just your browser cache. If not and you have to log in, check your cookies, nuke the AR ones and see if it's better.

You can use smilies like normal, but other than that no images in sigs. Uses up more BW and also causes longer load times for guys on slower connections. It's just a "nicer" way to run. [=)]

The auto thumbnail creation only works for JPGs...

3) Can GIF files support transparency? (Doesn't seem to be the case, but I'll ask anyway.)

Yes. You need to create them with transparency set.

4) When uploading an image with the same name, I get two red X's in the spots where the image and thumbnail are supposed to be previewed. Hardly a big deal, but included FYI.

Hmmm... more work for me...

Hope this all helps and I am planning on working on the Gallery Software soon! [=)]
