Re: Upgrade Coming - Downtime

some of the "top" buttons take me to the top, some take me to the home page.

Re: Upgrade Coming - Downtime

That is actually how they are supposed to work Liz. The top URL is defined on a page load. When a user posts, it is done via ajax. Since ajax simply refreshes "that" section, and not the page, there is no URL defined, so it reverts to the base URL which is the homepage (by default).

If you click the top link in the post above the one you just made, it will bring you to the top of the page.

Re: Upgrade Coming - Downtime

One of the features we were missing was some way to get notified when we had a new pending friend request, profile comment, etc. Well I have incorporated the "Pending" drop menu to handle that function.

In the navbar, beside the "New Posts" and "Quick Links" menu is now the new "Pending" menu! If your pending menu displays anything other than a "0", something needs your attention!

Re: Upgrade Coming - Downtime

The "Pending" menu is a good idea

Re: Upgrade Coming - Downtime

Note: I click on "Feeders" on the home page and I get an error message.
I click on "downloads" and it just reloads the home page.

Well, I've been back on HC for days, but I didn't notice the "new posts" button until day before yesterday. And I don't even have blondness as an excuse.

I just want to say that I think the new look is wonderful!

Once you have selected the posts you wish to reply to, simply click the normal "Post Reply" button. When the page loads, it will have quoted each of the selected messages, allowing you to reply to each one specifically.
Oh. Wish I'd read that before I went back and forth getting the all the quotes for this post. Maybe I am blond under the reddish-brown somehow...

Reptile Societies and Reptile Shows

I have added 2 new pages to Herp Center.

The first are the "known" shows for 2008. This new page is linked in the navigation on the homepage and is located here:

Reptile Shows for 2008

The second page are the "known" Reptile Societies in the U.S and Canada. This page is also linked from the homepage and can be found here:

Herpetological Societies

If you know of a listing for either section that I have omitted, please contact me and let me know. If you can, please provide me with a link to the societies website or the shows announcement.

Thanks!
