I see Jeff's been his busy self again. The calculators and more are back on the toolbar.

Jeff, If it was not for your bad shoulder we would not be able to keep up with your work. Thanks again for the good job.

Jeff · March 09, 2005, 04:07:11 PM

I'll be doing a way with the fancy. I am trying to add something that will work for all browsers. Problem is I am starting over. I may have a test for you folks not using I.E. in a little bit, just to see if what I am doing will work.

stumpy · March 09, 2005, 04:11:43 PM

FYI, I am using Firefox

tnlogger · March 09, 2005, 04:15:01 PM

You should see a link that says forum extras now, I need to know if fire fox browsers can 1. See it. 2. go to a new page with it where you may see some text about calculators.

SwampDonkey · March 09, 2005, 04:59:16 PM

Jeff · March 09, 2005, 05:48:47 PM

I see you made it a little fancier too. Thank you.

Paul_H · March 09, 2005, 05:50:44 PM

Tom Sawyer · March 10, 2005, 06:49:01 AM

My Firefox is working too. I was wondering where the knowledge base was. I kept reading about it in old posts, but couldn't find it anywhere! ??? ??? ???

Ironwood · March 10, 2005, 07:13:08 AM

Hey,

Could you guys decide which side to put the thing on! The women on the otherside of my CUBICLE think I am getting fresh winking at them. (blinking left and right) get it? :

:

No real cubicle, just a fun thought.

REID

Tom Sawyer · March 10, 2005, 10:23:38 AM

Why does the Knowledge Base open in a popup window, while the Milestones page I can open in a new tab (I love tabbed browsing in Firefox 8)). I dislike popups.

Jeff · March 10, 2005, 10:28:46 AM

Milestones is incorporated into the forum software frame work. THe knowledge base is a seperate program from the forum.

Please remember that NOTHING you see in there is set in stone or even considered a working part of the forum again yet. I am still trying to see what works and what does not and how to organize. Usually websites do that behind the scenes. Me, I dont care. My screw ups are out there for everybody to see. ;D

SwampDonkey · March 10, 2005, 11:07:57 AM

I don't mind seeing things unfold in real time and I never get excited.

As they say over in AmigaWorld.net forums

'It'll be done when it's done'

;)

Ernie · March 10, 2005, 12:05:57 PM

Once I allowed popups for the forestryforum in the tools menu, it works in my Firefox.

Jeff · March 10, 2005, 12:09:46 PM

Having the knowledgebase "pop-up", was my idea to keep you from accidently closing out the whole forum after reading in the knowledge base. Its actually not a "pop up" because you choose for it to open. Its no different then opening a new window other then it does not have the address bar and all that stuff on top and actually gives you a fuller view. If you close it, you still have the forum there to continue browsing.

Ernie · March 10, 2005, 12:17:57 PM

Brilliant Jeff, where did you learn all this computer stuff or are you just naturally gifted?

Jeff · March 10, 2005, 12:26:50 PM

All self taught Ernie. Its a trial and error error error error error process. :D

Ernie · March 10, 2005, 12:30:17 PM

Obviously you're not a believer in the populer adage "If at first you don't suceed --Give up"

Seems like all too many of the TV generation these days give up before they even try.

Ernie

Tom Sawyer · March 11, 2005, 05:56:54 AM

Jeff, Could you make the Knowledge Base come up with all of the address bar, etc. included? That way I can open different topics in the Knowledge Base in a new tab, instead of having to read them one at a time. I only have dialup here, so I like to load a whack of pages, disconnect, and then read them.
