| | If you guys didn't notice i added a nice slideshow to the home page. I am still getting the hang of and customizing it now. It actually is pretty cool. Any thread made in the "front page news" section of the site is read automatically and displayed by the player on the homepage. In order to get the picture in there it must be attached to the first post.
I will be.....
Moving the boxes around on the homepage to make it fit better.
adding a new tabbed box to get recent threads from different sections of the site easier.
making the slideshow box look better
figuring out the proper sizes for the pics used for the slide show
and a few other little things.
you might have noticed, right now, only i can make threads in that section. once i get everything working right you guys will be able to add stuff....
thanks,
Chase HOW-TO make a topic in the Front Page News section http://www.talkdelaware.com/make-thr...ion-t5793.html

| | | upon furthre review of the play, and seeing as how i need to do some work here at work
the forum is open for posting.
keep in mind, make a topic in there this will happen
IT WILL BE DISPLAYED ON THE FRONTPAGE
IT WILL SHOW THE ATTACHED PICTURE YOU ADD (TRY TO GET A MORE LANDSCAPED (SIDE TO SIDE) TYPE PICTURE RATHER THEN PORTRAIT)
KEEP THE START OF THE THREAD TO A DESCRIPTION, THE TEXT DISPLAYED ON THE PLAYER IS THE START OF THE FIRST POST
you guys will get it, can someone get a few post in there that pertain to Delaware. 10 points for each well executed topic in there... (toward contest)

| | | Chase, are you guys monitoring that thread?
If not, what's to stop someone from registering, and putting an advertisement or something derogatory that shows up on the front page?
Or, what is to stop me from putting a picture of myself up there with the headline "ROSIE IS THE AWESOMEST?"
Not that I would do that. Twice. | | The Following User Says Thank You to Jessica For This Useful Post: | | Re: Front Page Slideshow added

Nah, that's a little too complex for my posting skillz.
I agree that we're all trustworthy here, but what if ( and this is TOTALLY hypothetical, and in no way could EVER happen) but what IF someone may have gotten wasted and turned into a complete party monster at her bachelorette party, and someone else happened to take pictures and posts them in that thread with the heading "DRUNK DRUNK DRUNK?"
I mean, hypothetically speaking. | Re: Front Page Slideshow added

| | | Chase.. what are you doing?
It's like every time I refresh the page, stuff's moved around, I can't find anything, I don't know what I'm looking at or how it got there or why..
It's worse than living with roommates who run around putting your stuff places you would never think to look for it. | Re: Front Page Slideshow added
