I'd use a separate CSS for printing, but yes it can be done. All DGL has to do is let me know what pages he wants it for. "If you give someone a program, you will frustrate them for a day; if you teach them how to program, you will frustrate them for a lifetime."

Yup, CSS is the way to do it. Theoretically you could add CSS for printing into the same style sheet as the normal page, but in reality that doesn't work consistently across browsers. But redrawing the page with a different CSS file works quite well for generating printer friendly pages.

One feature I think would be useful would be a way of searching the database for types, or rather brands and/or models of equipment used. That way a person if they had a particular piece of equiment he was using or was thinging about buying could ask specific members on the forum their opinon on how they like it or not. That could range from engravers both laser and rotary and even printers and/or presses for sublimation. John John & Alexa Montgomey Lakeshore Engraving

John,

A severely underused feature of this software, almost to the point not being used at all, is the rating system, found in the "Links" section.

For example, my rave review of Hyatt Leasing, was met with another opinion, that begged to differ. Enough participation in that area, including comments, as to why a person voted a particular way, would be invaluable.

We should make that feature much more prominent, because it does contain compartmentalized areas for equipment and supplies etc.

Thanks David .. I think it could save a lot of time for both newbies and old timers alike and can go far beyond, as you say, in researching various items. I know in another thread, a poll of Corel versions is being done ... if we had that as part of the listings that could be immediately looked at. Course, I am not so naive' to assume that everyone will want to fill in that much information but it sure can be handly some times. John John & Alexa Montgomey Lakeshore Engraving

John, As you say, people are free to list what information they're comfortable in providing, through their member profile. The more information, as to programs, equipment used and location, the quicker and more accurate our response to specific questions.

I still suggest that they need to have a real contact name. Total anonymity on here makes for some distrust in the information that may be given from that person. I doesn't need to show up in the posts, that is for nicknames, but at least for the moderators, they should be able to have an idea of who is who. The glass is neither half empty or half full; it is, however, ready to accept more.

Franklin, Your wish will come true. A lot was said, during the "Meltdown of '06" that bears mulling over, but my decision to require actual names, as usernames, is something I'll dig my heels in on. That may turn some people off, but there's something to be said for a smaller classroom size. :-) David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

I am still wishing this didn't pop up when I try to mark discussions as read quote: Error Message for server admins and developers: Unknown error [2] Missing argument 4 for messages_update_read() Unknown error in line 1315 of file messages.inc.php Beehive Forum 0.7.1 on PHP/4.3.11 Linux CGI-FCGI, MySQL/40027 I am wasting time reading discussions that I have no interest in. Is anything happening to get this fixed ?? Mick Cactus Equipment & Supplies www.cactus-equipment.com 800-440-6847

I think you meant to address this to David L. and Harvey. I do know that this is a Beehive V7 bug that is "on the list" of the developers. Until then, enjoy the extra reading. :-)

Mick, It's something the Beehive (BH) developers are working on and plan to include in v .0.7.2. Keep in mind they work on the BH project in their spare time. Question: Just curious, but why do you read threads in which you have no interest? You also have the option of ignoring entire folders in which you have no interest, by clicking the icon to the right of the folder title.
