Glad everything is back up and running. I just went through the messages and at the end I went to mark all messages read and there was an error. The site would not mark all messages as read. No problem here just a note to check on! Maybe everyone should check it to see if it is just on my system Have A Great Day! Bill Meyer Ginny's Gems www.ginnysgems.com

Bill, By all means, report any irregularities in the forum software, either here, or directly to eric@engravingetc.org In upgrading the software, Eric has found a few bugs, fixed them and reported them to the Beehive developers. Thank you, David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

This is actually a bug in beehive, I reported it a few days ago to the developers when I found it, there's no ETA on a fix though.

Eric, A few people are reporting that the EE logo, at the top of the forum page is either grainy, or distorted. May be a browser thing, because on my computer (IE5 for Mac), the logo looks grainy. On my wife's computer (OSX/Safari) it's very crisp. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

It looks pretty Grainy (rasterized) on mine, WinXP and Explorer 7. Wow, glad you are back, and I have not seen any other glitches. Thanks, for all the hard work.

The header area appears to be shorter than it was in the past, therefore forcing the taller graphic into the shorter allocated space.

Fixed the image issue. As Dave noticed the header bar was smaller, so I had to just resize the existing image since I didn't have the original resulting in the jaggedness. I just went back to the older way of simply having that top frame be taller so we could use the standard height of the image.

Since there's no ETA on the marking messages as read from the beehive devs I'll look into writing a patch myself.

Eric,

Can you make the header bar taller than the logo so there is some white space above and below the logo? I just think it would make it more appealing, rather than having it stuffed into that space.

Is anybody seeing images in the signatures?

I'm not, but I do see a rectangle show up quickly and go away in those posts made by folks who have always had images in their sigs.

Dave, in trying to figure out why I'm not seeing signatures I looked at the source code for this thread and saw that your post listed a signature image, but when I tried to look at the image directly it was not found on your server. Here is the url shown in your signature:

The images are there under the consideration that they still exist. I see mine and some others. My signature image is on my website David Takes' was on his server that went down. I have not checked if the images stored here are still properly linked. Philadelphia, PA (Really Bensalem) When you finally understand it completely... it changes.

Yeah, I saw yours was working after I posted.

I also noticed that the other one I was seeing flash but not show up, which was Chucks, seems to also have been hosted on Dave's server. So that explains why I saw a couple different ones flash a box and not show up. They're both on the same server.

Dave,

My websites and images were on the same sever as the forum, they are still down. :-(

I'm in the process of moving everything over to GoDaddy, but I am running into some conflicts with the structure and security of my shopping cart program and GoDaddy's hosting restrictions. My saga continues.

Thanks for looking out for me. I may just post the signature on a different site and make the change in my signature.

David Takes' site is down and Chuck's logo was also stored there. You should see mine because it is on my server. Philadelphia, PA (Really Bensalem) When you finally understand it completely... it changes.

All can be seen now. I realized after my posting that others had already mentioned it. Next time I will read through all of the posts first. David L. Vernon Lip Chip Solutions, Inc. www.LipChip.com 818-363-8132
