Forum Plugin - on the greenfield goats website the dashboard tab in the admin section states please wait-loading. Do I need to do something on the front end or how do I get this to show details.

the dashboard tab is not yet finished. I was planning on doing it yesterday. still have to decide what to put in it!

I was thinking moderation.

first priorities at the moment are notification (so you get an email when someone posts in a thread you're subscribed to), and formatting of the text - I can't allow HTML, but I think BBCode should be OK.

Just wondering, as I had setup a separate forum but it's never really used by the guys as they find it complicated so just thought looking at what you have here it would be ideal for them. Nice and simple

cool. now, a question.

As the thread gets longer, the "Add a Post" thing gets further from the message you're replying to. Which is the better solution:
1. put the "Add a Post" form at the top.
2. reverse the order of the thread posts.

ooh - also, I'm wondering whether to use "pagination", where you have a certain number of posts per page and click "next page" to see another lot, or to use the facebook model, which is to click "show more", which adds the posts to the current page, making the visible list longer.

Pagination has an advantage, in that very long threads would be difficult to read if you had to constantly click "show more" to get to the end of it

Hi Neil - sorry for the delay - been away at meetings and stuff!

KFM does not automatically compress your images. But, you can right-click on an image, and resize it manually.

Also, I think I remember writing code so you could select multiple images and resize them all at the same time.

At the moment, there is a limit of 1600^2 px for uploaded images, but I may raise that shortly, after I come up with a better solution for the RAM issue to do with resizing images.
