    I seem to have lost the DONATE button.
    Any chance you could send me a link, or tell me how to find it.
    Thanks in advance. Lyndan Blackman

      Garfield Stinvil Sorry for the delay in responding. I am not certain what you mean by a Donate button. It might be useful to set up a call if this issue is still relevant. I'll send you a private message with my phone # to discuss.

      Garfield Stinvil Thank you for pointing this out. This can be added on request. This was a little challenging as the attempt was to add just enough but not too much. Just provide me with the city/province and country and I can add it.

    Hello Garfield,


    I was thinking you are the one to ask this question to!  


    Is there a possibility in the future of adding a "new" flag to the forum posts, to flag new posts/ latest replies. 


    This feature is present on a few other forums I participate it, and it is very helpful to be able to quickly identify what is "new" and as yet unread... (new posts also move to the top, as they do here on grains of glass).


    I realize that the most current posts and replies do move to the top of the list, but I sometimes am unable to tell if I have read the latest, and will click in only to discover that I have already read it...and I think this might distort the "views" counter as well...in case you are tracking those...


    anyway, just a thought for today...


    Thank you for all your hard work!


    all the best,
    Julie  less

    Hi Gabor,

    Thank you for pointing this out. I have made an adjustment in our member settings. You and any other member (who may do what you unintentially did) should be able to now delete the additional untitled album.

    Yes, I understand. Adobe flash is used loading photos for albums I believe because it help you to upload multiple photos at one time. You are right loading pictures in the forum does not require it. Loading single picture does not require adobe flash player.

    in the topic Grains of Glass Web Site Support in the forum General Discussions

    Hi Leszek,

    I am not to clear on the issue you are facing. Please know you need adobe flash player for a lot of things on the internet. You Tube, Facebook, and many sites need adobe flash on the browser. Some programs use adobe flash for assisting the process of uploading. Even the old site needed adobe flash for some uploading options like uploading multiple videos and photos.

    There are a couple of possibilities.

    1) Adobe flash player for the browser needs an update. This happens all the time and is for adobe flash for the browser on your computer to work well.

    2) Recently flash has been having security issues and some browswers turn it off by default. When you go to a site they make the responsibility your to choose to "activate it" or "not activate" This way if you "activate it" and you get a virus they don't have to be responsible for it. They can say you went to a site that you choose and you activated flash player and they didn't tell you to go to the site and activate flash player. 

    Adobe flash player is for browsers and not for your computer. So it is not that you need it for any single site. You need it for your browser to view any site that uses adobe flash to make using any site easier.

    It's kind of hard to answer your question without an exact example of where and what steps caused the issue but I hope what I said here helps. If you have more specific information and need more help please let me know.

    It's a tricky situation, I understand exactly what you are talking about. I've seen this on Amazon and other web sites. However, I don't recall seeing this feature on the old site. I even have a version of the platform that is the same and in reviewing the photo module I don't see it and Trish doesn't recall it either. It doesn't mean that I don't understand what you are talking about but I just don't recall this feature as part of the old network.

    This may be however something that could be added to our current site using code. I will review and update this discussion with what I find.

    Hi Garfield,

    Question: In the old system it was possible to zoom an image to see the small details. Is there any possibility to have this function in the new website?

    Thank you

    Gabor

    [/blockquote]

    Not too sure about zooming on the old system. I know there was a way to view a bigger version of the image but I may be misunderstanding you. A possible workaround on a PC is to press and hold the CTRL key on the keyboard and press the + sign on the computer to zoom in closer on a page. Hope this helps.
