Not much time this week - little update though

On each of your photo albums now - you can multi-select photos and choose what action to do with them.

Wednesday's Sneak Peak

I'm having a lot of fun with this iPhone web app for LongarmChat.com.  So much fun I'd thought I'd show a sneak peak of a couple of the screens:

LongarmChat Home Screen

The above image is what you would see if you went to longarmchat.com on your iPhone or iTouch

The above image would be the Recent Posts found under your My Desktop

 

 

Also, the total count on images restored from what I found was over 1500 images.

Tuesday Update

Found a few more things to tweak on the search.  Got that alll squared away.  I started playing around with the mobile version of the site.  I got the basics of it up and going on my development site.  I really, really like :-) 

I'm going to start working on a way for Linda to be able to post articles / news on the site as well.  This will include all the previous newbie articles and other articles that were on the old site.  I had to give my brain a rest today from the search page code and play with the mobile / iphone version of the site :-)  That's like a choclate chip cookie to me and the other stuff are my veggies.

Monday Afternoon Update

The image script is still running... since Friday afternoon.  It's on images starting with R and working in alpha order. 

Some other good news - I spent about 6 hours reworking / retesting the search page.  It's working much better now as far as accuracy.  You also now have the option to include ALL or ANY of the keywords meaning you can specify if the search should look for only results that contain ALL your keywords, or any of your keywords.

On another side note - the site may seem a little slower then normal.  This is because of the background image script running.  Once this is complete, the site will be back to normal speed.

Status Update for Missing Images

Some good news.   The script has been running for a couple days now and has restored over 880 images so far.  It's still running over this weekend so that number should increase.  One way to see the difference in the HOW WOULD YOU QUILT THS FORUM.  Images are now showing all the way back to page 84.  We're sitll missing some images that are from some really old posts and I may have to manually collect those.

Today's Update

I got around to writing the script to fix most of the missing images.  The script is running in the background over the next few hours.  It's a slow process but it's working.  Several posts I checked that were missing images now have the images.

Also, I have a much more accurate search working on my development site.  I need to tweak a few more things before bringing it over to the production site. 

Lastly, I found a few sticky topics that were not displaying at the top of the forums.  That has been resolved as well.

Happy V-Day!

Working on Print-Friendly View

I'm working on a print friendly version of the forum topics.  This will be a PDF you can either open or save.   I have it working in development but need to get it so it includes the images.
