:)

One of the LOGIN/LOGOUT issues fixed on the galleries. If you click LOGIN link on gallery, it will bring you to the forum login page and then redirect you back to gallery instead of the forum. This feature was needed for those trying to log in from gallery and then ending up at forum.

Now, if you click on a picture and it asks you to login... it may not redirect you to that specific picture. Working on it. :)

Enjoy!

Minor editing:

Announcements are displayed in every forum so that you may not miss an important news and update about defencetalk.com.

When viewing a forum you see this:

DefenceTalk.com > Forum Index > WMDs and Missiles

The bold part is now linked to the HOME page of the website, "forum Index" to forum page...

Add to favorites only appears when user is logged in.

------

Some changes to gallery:

Airshow section is in full swing. We are adding pics in gallery on daily basis. World at War sections were created.

You see some nice effects when you hover over an image thumbnail... once you have visited that pic it has yellowish border telling you that you have already seen that pic. :) Hope you guys find that useful.

Remember if you have any idea and suggestion, we want to hear it so please don't hasitate to post here:

Feedback forum You don't have to be logged in to post... :)

Thats about it for now.

Enjoy.

Great news guys, and this one makes your life a little easier:

When you are viewing an image, and its "INFO" you will notice a new field there called:

bbcode

Which looks like this:

Code: 
[url=http://www.defencetalk.com/pictures/displayimage.php?pos=-1291][img]http://www.defencetalk.com/pictures/albums/UK-RAF-EuroF/Raf_eurofighter2.jpg[/img][/url]
What that does is create a link to BIG picture:

Example:


Working on something that will generated link to thumbnails of same pic but links to the big pic-like this:

Okay, made some changes when you view topics:

You can only see user's signature when you are logged in. Also, their profile link/pm/email/, etc. links at the end of their reply only visible when you log in.

LAST post column now has DATE linked to the latest post instead of a icon.

Forum and topic titles appear in your browser's window/title.

Enjoy!

Gallery:

Here is an easy way to display THUMBs using the BBCODE already generated by the gallery software and is listed under picture INFO icon:

the gallery gives you this bbcode so that you can display picture on a forum:

Code: 
bbCode: [url=http://www.defencetalk.com//pictures/displayimage.php?pos=-1718][img]http://www.defencetalk.com/pictures/albums/userpics/JF-17big.jpg[/img][/url]


Now, that links to BIG picture, which makes the scroll bar at the bottom to overcome that and to display just a thumbnail of the picture while still linking into the bigger pic use this method:

Using the code already generated, just add " thumb_ " in front of the picture name so for example:

Code: 
bbCode: [url=http://www.defencetalk.com//pictures/displayimage.php?pos=-1718][img]http://www.defencetalk.com/pictures/albums/userpics/THUMB_JF-17big.jpg[/img][/url]
This would display thumbnail without taking the thread out of format.

Click to expand...
Now this is done automatically when you view picture INFO in the gallery. You will see "bbcode thumbnail" which you can post in any forum which has bbcodes enabled. :)

NO MORE SCROLL BARS!!!!

If you post a picture which is larger than your screen, it will be resized and link will be added so user can click and view the full sized image in new window. This is a nice user friendly feature.

Thanks to Dr Mustak anis for this great trick. :)
