Hi Jerry - Welcome to the forums!

A lot of Quo love here!! There's a New Year's Eve bash here in Horsham if anyone is local - [url="http://www.lemonrock.com/gig.php?id=261515"]http://www.lemonrock...g.php?id=261515[/url] I'll buy you a pint and give you a Basschat Lanyard if you come!

Once the new classifieds is 100% functional the old marketplace will be retired but existing topics left open for sales to continue.

Guys We are still in the process of installing/fixing/de-bugging the marketplace, so at the moment WYSIWYG is a work in progress

It's a problem with the uploader causing this - it's on the list of things to pay for to get fixed!

Several of the skins have been corrupted, so we just have the one at the moment.

Yes, it is a site issue. One of the many things that await the attention of an expert webdev - when we have enough funds to pay for one!

Once you do that you will see a massive drop in hackers, spammers and bot's multiple registrations. Of course when you do that you can forget about those astronomic figures of visitors that you've quoted in the first post of this thread, but glory was never built on numbers and I would say that perhaps quite certainly 70% of those visitors represented illicit potential threat, that and the various search engine gathering data. The human contingency in those figures is minimal compared to the other "baddies" I've mentioned. [/quote] I'm fairly sure there is no way all the proxy servers can be blocked as there are probably millions of them out there. A hook could be put together to block some, but it would only block approx 75% of proxy servers, and my SQL just isn't that good! Another thing to consider is that some Universities, Companies or even Countries, like Singapore, access the web through a gateway proxy. So users coming from that country or using connections from Universities, Libraries or Companies that get access online through proxies will be blocked. It may affect some AOL users too.

We were working to install upgrades and features, which was tricky - then we got hacked - one step forward, two steps back and all that. Both our virtually unpaid webdevs are out of the UK at the moment, so things are getting fixed slower than usual.

[quote name='barneyg42' timestamp='1353650929' post='1876949'] Appreciate what you're saying and admit to not having donated myself but if the pot is empty why all the changes again, we had a major revamp what, less than a year ago? Everything from the consumers end seemed to be working fine! Ps. Have donated a few bob now! [/quote] Just trying to make it bigger and better as it grows.

A lot of this stuff needs a proper web developer, and they cost money. As only approx 4% of people who sell stuff through the forums bother to donate a percentage of their profits, we are stuck with an empty spending pot at the moment

Hi Dave. Someone hacked the front page of the site a few days ago but it's all been cleaned up. I expect the 'delete cache & cookies' routine should help as this is the only report of an anti-virus being triggered that we have.

[quote name='Captain Rumble' timestamp='1353339920' post='1873837'] Ok i now have photo's on Photobucket but have no idea how to get them onto basschat [/quote] [size=4][font=Arial, sans-serif]1. Open your post for editing[/font] [font=Arial, sans-serif]2. Select the little green box below the smiley icon which reveals 'image' when you hover your cursor over it - click it 3. Paste the URL of your image in the pop-up box Repeat the process from step 2 for each image.[/font][/size]

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1353331661' post='1873681'] Just in case you hadn't already spotted it, the Calendar is currently unavailable... [/quote] Fixed

[quote name='ted_manzie' timestamp='1353314629' post='1873408'] the breadcrumb thing has changed - used to say for example [b]Basschat / Basschat Market Place / Basses For Sale[/b] now says [b]Basschat / / / Basses For Sale[/b] so you can't skip back to the general market place? [/quote] Fixed

The donate button will be back ASAP!!

It does looks a bit blurred, but I have had 6 pints of 8.5% scrumpy. Next week we're going to try and convert everything into 3D.

You could always spend the forum downtime doing some practise?

1. Open your post for editing - or do it when posting! 2. Then select 'use full editor' 3. Where it says 'attach files' - click on 'choose files' 4. That will take you to your PC so you can click on which file to attach - you can only upload one at a time. 5. When it's uploaded - click on 'attach this file' Repeat the process from step 3 for each photo. If you have the photos hosted on something like photobucket or flickr: 1. Open your post for editing 2. Select the little green box below the smiley icon which reveals 'image' when you hover your cursor over it - click it 3. Paste the URL of your photo file in the pop-up box Repeat the process from step 2 for each image. Cheers

[quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1350254944' post='1836578'] I will ask our trained monkey to have a look at this [/quote] [quote name='cloudburst' timestamp='1352416455' post='1862923'] Yea, you're right silldx. You've a fairly valid point. Just a bit frustrating that there's no response - even to tell us no dice. It is a great forum, and I do appreciate the effort the mods and admins put in. But don't forget we ALL put quite a lot of time and effort into it. CB [/quote] This is on the list of things to add. I have no idea of when it will be done. It is a low priority and there are more important issues and improvements to make at the moment. This site costs money to run, maintain and improve. Web developers cost a lot of money, and so a lot of work is done as favours as we can't afford to pay someone the going rate. Please feel free to make a contribution
