Re: Painting New Panels

When Mike 68 visited me last weekend he asked me do you have to prime over the black coating on new panels before paint. I may have led him astray a bit by saying "shouldnt have to". I have previousy only ever primed old panels and repairs that have been taken down to metal , and im about...

mike: I should also mention that I did not "design" this website. It's a Content Management System http://dragonflycms.org/ which I have templated. I'm by no means a web designer... my artistic abilities are limited to stick figures. I'm a techie, so I can sort out backend issues, but I c...

Forum enhancement suggestions

Just creating another thread as a placeholder for suggestions... Hybrid - any chance of having the Forum header and sidebar menus (left and right) setup in some framesets / frames? Kinda like what I have done with the MOCWA site so that the content scrolls but the stuff that you may want to see all ...

Re: Default forum settings

How did you do that in the MOCA forum? I've never used that function. Is that by clicking on "Todays Posts" ? Yep - although I have been thinking is it just that we don't have enough activity here yet to show a larger list? Or are you tracking cookies (or similar) to know what we have alr...

Re: Default forum settings

Mike, not sure what you mean. Can you only see new posts now and nothing else? Yeah... I have it set to go straight to "New Posts" but that's because I can't seem to work out how to display "All Posts". Even when I try and submit a fairly "loose" search I keep getting ...
