Hello ( 04:39:48 SatFeb 23 2002 )

I signed up for a free board as I am considering moving my forum. How long does it take to receive the info? I did get my password and finished the next step but nothing arrived afterward.
I do have a few questions:
1. are graphic uploads limited? My members are grapic crazy!
2. Can I insert my own HTML codes?
3. Are extra icons already entered inot the forums or do you have an upload area?
Thanks
Blue~

Hi Blue,

It may take a while to recieve info about a new board when I'm in bed, as I have to approve all new boards. Just a litle thing I have. :wink:

I'll get your set up shortly.

1) For attachments? There is a 1MB limit. If you run out of space, just let me know and I'll give you more though :smile:

2) Depends where you mean. If you want to put HTML to make thwe board look like your web site (like we've done here at the support forums with the table arouund it), then yes - in the board/forum-specific templates.

If you mean in posts, then yes, admins/mods can use HTML in posts by use of the [ html] tag. (Take out the space in [ html])

3) Not sure what you mean by icons, but if it's the little images next to threads when it's locked, pinned etc, we have soem for you to use here. You can edit the URLs in your admin center :smile:

Thank you. At the moment I am on another site simular to but not ******s. I would like to make my forum here as close to it as possible in color and contents. Once that is finished I will discuss the move my members.
I have approx. 30 active members at this time. Our post views range around 15-20,000 per month. I do intend to get the premium service here once I am finished setting up the forum.
My problem always seems to be that my members like to change their signature graphics on a regular basis sometimes daily. That is what I was referring to when I asked about graphic space. On our current site we are not limited to that. I would gladly pay extra above the current premium account fee for extra space for that purpose. Can that be arranged?
Thank you,
Blue~

Ah, I see. So you'd want something like "File Hosting", but for users, so they could use it for their sigs etc? We don't currently offer an equivalent to "File Hosting", just for users - file hosting is currently just for admins. But I think that's a pretty good thing to add to the to-do list... :smile:

Anyways, that feature wouldn't be instant, but I think we could set something up for you. Would you want something where your users could upload the graphics themselves? The space isn't a problem at all - it's the bandwidth that's expensive - how much bandwidth do you think you'd need? Email me at bbboy@bbboy.net if you'd rather discuss specifics privately :smile:
