DVSF Forum!

Lets keep all the DVSF information right here. It will help people keep up to date on all the happenings....

Hi Brent,

An excellent idea!

One thing I could ask for us poor old Netscape users is that you lose the blanks in the URLs

(while you're at it, there's a place in the galleries, when you want to see all of one person's pictures, that could use the same fix)

Thanks!

Tom

Tom, what do you mean by losing the blanks in the urls?

[TomH]

Been there, done that, literally. Another NS'er pointed out the problem with spaces and they have since been replaced with "%20" which should get past the problem.

Please advise if you run into any other "issues."

FYI,
The bank and CC clearing house finally came through this weekend and we are working on the secure CC processing. DV has enough surprises up his sleeve so that it's easy to say that it will be worth waiting for.

Thank you Brent, Thank You, Thank you!
Now I guess it's time to start typing away and spill the beans!

DV...Practice is over for this family!

Darn it Brent--you're really getting the hang of this website business--great!

Hi Brent,

Here's an example from this board:

I go to the member galleries and ask to see all this user's photos - in this case I use you

Netscape sees:

http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/s...ype=2&si=Brent Mills&cat=500&sort=1&ppuser=9454

Notice the blank space between "Brent" and "Mills". When Netscape sees that it says

"The parameter is incorrect. "

and dies - or at least it refuses to accept that this URL is valid - because it contains a blank space. Most software has an option to substitute the %20 character (the hex value for a space, the ASCII 32 character equivalent) and then Netscape is happy!

If I recall, you've done this %20 substitution elsewhere, just a few left in the gallery as far as I can tell.

Not a biggie if it requires too much work to fix!

Regards,

Tom

Oh, and Brent,

While we are talking about this, are we gonna get to meet you this year at the Fling?

Tom,
Curios.. Are on a a Mac? Is that why you are using Netscape?

Hi Turk,

Nope, no Mac - I use a PC.

Couple reasons for using NS: Netscape is my mailer of choice. I use IE for browsing when I have to, but it's too susceptible to viruses for me to be comfortable with it. About 1/4 of the internet users use NS, the others use IE.

Besides, I think Bill Gates has wasted so much of PC users' time with his bugs that I try not to give him any more of my time than I must It seems to me that if all the time and money wasted trying to make M$ products operate as advertised were piled up and handed to me, I could give everyone here a new Kirkham done to their liking, and not miss the $$

Regards,

Tom

Brent,

You can change the URLs on the buttons. We are now live on both the Registration and Raffle procs.

Thanks
