Title: Your suggestions for GoL!
Post by: Vince on August 28, 2011, 06:18:04 PM
I think it could be a good idea to have a place for you guys to post your ideas and suggestions for Gallery of Lights!

Simple, if you have a cool idea for the page, post it here! Whether it's a new feature, or a solution to fix a problem for those with HTML/PHP skills, or if you found something cool for GoL!

I'll start with an idea I had while thinking of the hurricane Irene. In the pic categories (Lamps, Gears, Lighting History, etc.), we could add a new category called "Lighting in action", or something like that. You know, when the light works and you need it  ;D

It may not be possible. But it just "popped" into my mind.

The usernames should be neon ;D :incandescent:

Again. I don't know if its even possible, or if anyone can do it. I don't have the best computer skills. Just moderate.........

I'll look into it....best bet is a neon theme of some sort...

The biggest problem I have is...I do want to change theme making it look different..but the Forum side of this page and the Gallery side of this page are two DIFFERENT animals! So if I changed the theme of the gallery side...the forum will remain the same...and it would take a LOT of work to make both exact the same...I am still looking them up.....hopefully the SMF has a gallery feature or something because in a way I personally like the functions and customs of the SMF than the Coppermine.....it's just me...

Neon sounds cool. 8) I was wondering if it could be possible to display avitars in tha gallery like you can in the forum. That way it could be easier to reconize users for newer members.

I am wondering if there is a way to bring a update gallery comment to the front since I can't comment on myself.  I had to edit the message, but not able to show it at the front.  Is there a way to use some kind of update button or something like that that would bring it at the front or most recent gallery comment page listing?

I doubt if this would work, but I just wanted to comment this anyway.

Hmmm...one of the issues...is some members make take advantage on this post just to get "Attention"

But I will try to figure this out

For the commenting part, there's a little bug going on that I need to fix anyway....I will go for it on Thursday....because I have college tonight and tomorrow.....2 times a week...

Hmm, I wonder if it's possible to display signatures on the gallery comments too.

Yes it is......requires exhaustive modifying of the database....I will look that up too...

Oh, I see.

Anyways I have another idea, I wonder if someone here who knows about cameras and photography can make a thread with photography tips, how to minimize blurring, and what features to look for when buying a camera. Basically a guide to taking good quality lighting pics.

Oh, thanks a lot Joe! Now I will have the gull bugging me constantly to get that thread up. :P  It will be a while before I get it up and done. I am moving so I won't have much time to do that yet.

BTW Jace, YER SICK! :P I'll get it set up AFTER I move and get settled in. So I better not hear any squawks from the gull! :P

Anyone here thinks that we should add in a bookmarks icon to the page?
Title: Statistics Center: Forum history
Post by: Mike on November 07, 2011, 09:16:45 PM
Can we put in another catagory under the Forum history in the sats center? Right now it's by month and you click it and it expands. how about a parent catagory by year? For example:
Quote
2010
        Jan
             blah blah blah
        Feb
             blah blah blah
        Mar
             blah blah blah
        etc. .....

2009
        Jan
             blah blah blah
        Feb
             blah blah blah
        etc....

Oops edited instead of posted.  :-[

I thought no one even used that feature, :o the one on L-G is broken and hasn't been working since Feb 2008 and no one brought that up yet.

I would suggest to turn the "Non-Related Lighting Videos" forum from a child board of the "General Non-lighting Related Discussion" board, to a seperate board of the main board "Unrelated Stuff".
The board isn't so active (I see only one post of Jace in it) and the board itself isn't so noticeable.
I have a video of the operation of the front door washing machine and the front door clothes dryer at the hostel i live in, in operation, and want to upload it to that board, to show you how they're works, since american washing machine and clothes dryers, operates significantly different than their european equivalents.
