Post by: yellowmonkey on April 08, 2003, 01:10:09 AM: And also,
It gets to be monotonus when paging through the game pics... maybe you could use some code that looks like "<a href="javascript:about...." and then would come some wierd syntax that does a link to picture "x" + 1 on the numeric values within the strings (This might be hard)... I'll try and see what code I can come up with in the next few days.

Post by: Pancho on April 08, 2003, 08:05:32 AM: I have a hard time understanding yellowmonkey in general. Must be a "generation gap" thing. Oh well. You CAN PM someone straight from their bio provided they are hooked up w/ one of the popular instant messaging services.

Post by: yellowmonkey on April 08, 2003, 06:01:29 PM: well what I meant was "PM" as in using the Airsoft Arizona Boards private message thing. You know... how u have a little message box that you can check to see if you have any messages from people who use the board, it's built right into the forum system it seems. (unless the other IRC programs have integrated themselves within the forum PM system... in which case somebody should kick me.)

(don't look at the section below if you don't know anything about programming... it will just annoy you.)

And on another note... I don't think that there is a viable way link the pics in the game picture section of the main sight using Javascript or HTML... you would have to do it all by hand or make a program intrgrated into the forms to do it. E.g. using some form of proceedural oriented BASIC you could have your program automatically search of the next file with a numeric increment of 1 in the file name (which is a string)... but that would be too much of a pain, and probably eat up bandwidth.

Post by: Paco on August 23, 2003, 07:57:34 PM: yellowmonkey... no offense, but I have worked in the IT field (professionally) for 7 yeay, Paco, et al. I love it. They ain't trying to be mean, but rather be helpful. So don't take it personal. You know alot more than many other kids your age. That is a compliment!

Post by: Paco on April 10, 2003, 08:37:51 AM: I could, but that would effectively *double* the space used for pictures on the web site which (as it stands now) is already at about 150 MB for pictures alone... that would be the only thing I'd have against it...

One day when I am really bored, I will get to making thumbnails and/or automating thumbnailing somehow...

Post by: yellowmonkey on April 10, 2003, 03:51:09 PM: hey don't worry about it guys... my friend and I are working on an active x control that will integrate itself with MSIE and will display the pics directly from the directory...(URL). There's gonna be a few days more for debugging, but it's almost finished. I attribute the creation of this to my friend, he is doing all the work, I'm just assisting.

Post by: yellowmonkey on April 10, 2003, 04:05:54 PM: Criminies Paco, I just tried to "PM" you but it said you didn't want any... I guess you just want me to post everything ** He doesn't like me :( ** Anyways, once I got this thing comleted and debugged, shall I just send it to you? Because any responsible admin would want to review the code, should I send it to you or someone else (are you good with Visual Basic?)?

Post by: Paco on April 10, 2003, 04:29:37 PM: I already beat you to it, lol... check the pictures.

Enjoy.

Post by: yellowmonkey on April 10, 2003, 07:42:43 PM: .... *Rackin' Frackin'* ... Good Job, you have won the battle but not the war!

Did you do it all by hand?
Title:
Post by: yellowmonkey on April 10, 2003, 07:47:14 PM: also... is the chat thing small for anyone else? is there a way to adjust it? I'm sorry but I am flash ignorant.

Post by: Paco on April 10, 2003, 08:23:48 PM: just resize your browser window.

Post by: yellowmonkey on April 10, 2003, 09:49:01 PM: hey paco, did you just do all that web page stuff by hand (paste each one and change it to the correct value)?

Post by: Paco on April 10, 2003, 09:58:23 PM: No. Dreamweaver MX.

Post by: Pancho on April 10, 2003, 11:30:32 PM: Does anyone ever use the chat function that's been set up? I wander in there occasionally, and there is never anyone else. But, then again, there are seldom more than 4 or5 active members on here at any one time anyway.
Title:
Post by: Paco on April 11, 2003, 07:52:01 AM: I haven't seen anyone use it. Best bet is to post a time in the "Scheduled Chat Time" forum right below the Chat link.

Post by: Bhodi on May 08, 2003, 03:03:02 PM: In order to maintain our Airsoft and 2nd Amendment rights, everyone in AA should join the NRA and/or Gun Owners of America. If it weren't for these 2 groups, we wouldn't have some of the rights we have now. There is legislation going on RIGHT NOW that will affect all of our gun rights; and when those go, the next thing Gun Control advocates will attack is Airsoft. Maybe we should have a 2nd Amendment section on the forum or something similar. If we want to keep playing, we need to stay involved, and VOTE! Thank You.

Post by: Bhodi on May 12, 2003, 06:38:24 PM: Good man!
Title: Link to PM within members bios.
Post by: yellowmonkey on April 08, 2003, 12:47:12 AM: Just like the title... sometimes I think it would be kinda easy to have a link to PM someone right out of their bios, because one always seems to end up there when trying to get in contact with another.
