Loaches Online Forum

No, I wasn't thinking of doing fine editing right now, but in most cases you'll find that most of the existing index photos are superceded by vastly better quality pictures, either from us guys or other LOL users. Almost all of those have filename formats that need changing to be searchable, so you...

Jeff, I had tremendous problems uploading one of the photos from My Pictures after renaming the files. The files are gastromyzon_unknown01_01, 02, 03, etc. For some reason my My pictures file was showing a thumbnail and giving up another picture. One of the pictures here in this profile I still can...

That's a can of worms there Mr Administrator :wink: I know for a fact that you'll find a whole mixture of yes's and no's to that. Because we've been inputting photos into a regular Forum Page format, the sources have been multiple in size. Personally, what I've done is chosen pics from the existing...

Sounds good. When I get it I'll put it online, so we have the most up-to-date version at the community site.

Absolutely, that would be great! I've added an "Images" folder underneath Articles. Maybe we can put images that belong to articles there?

Obviously you'll need Jeff's reply on that before starting (or not) the process. Am I understanding this right? Mark is saying that.... Nemacheilus X, Nemacheilus Xa, Nemacheilus Xb, Neomacheilus X, Neomacheilus Xb should read: Nemacheilus X, N. Xa, N. Xb, Neomacheilus X, N.Xb That it? Aspirin........

Jeff, I added the Loaches/Cichlids piece as an Article, and deleted the Word file from my Folder. The View tab on the Articles section still says there are no articles there though, yet when you click on the Contents tab it is there. :?: :?: :?: Emma That's because the Articles section (when you cl...

I knew I had probably gone about it the wrong way, but at the time I just could not see how to submit it as an Article. You'll have to forgive my basic computer 'skills'. :roll: :lol: I didn't want it to open as a Word document, so I'll go back in later and try and create a Page for it instead. Loo...

Hehe! I copied (just in case!) the profile, pasted into the species index, then created the internal link to the page. It's pretty easy once you've actually done an action. With a bit of guidance here and there I think this is going to be a dream to use, especially for edit and one-off creation of ...

I'll go back now and delete my original version of B. toni from my personal file The delete function is a bit dodgy at the moment. (i.e. Actions->Delete just gives an error). If you have problems, go to the page you want to delete, then go up to the folder that contains it. (Such as your member fol...

On the species index, in the synonym field, genus names should not appear more than once if spelled the same way - and this is my technical creepy side saying this... It should be Nemacheilus thoeneii, followed by N. turnerii. Spelling redundant names out more than once was an early flaw to science...

Martin.

Haha, now I'm editing my post while Mark is replying! (although to a different message) Be sure to re-read...

Hi Martin, No, there's no way to have the software grab a picture from another website and save it on the community site. (You can link to a picture off of another server, like how the forums can use photos from loachtank, but that's not the way we want to build the site). So, the way you did it was...

I was wondering what everyone thought of the first two species profiles on the new site. Do you like the way they look, and the way the attached photo galleries function? I'd like to spend some time this week moving profiles from the forums to the new site (so you don't have to do all that tedious w...

I've moved this to the community site and it can be edited there...
