Good suggestions Dave.

What I call PicTutorials, will become a regular feature. Step-by-step instructions with accompanying photos.

I love pictures. I can read thru something and then see a picture and it helps it all click for me.

Cindy,

If you like pictures, you'll love the videotaped procedures.

Wow what a list, just great!

I am going to set up a book with pages for each suggestion, so I can work on the concepts to see what can be done.

The one drawback is that at the moment the software does not allow sub folders for separation. But I do have an idea around that. It may or may not be possible, but I will find out.

It may take some time for some of these but they are all good suggestions and will be at least looked into, and hopefully implemented.

EDIT: There is a complete listing of recommended power/speed settings in a PDF donated by New Hermes for a 40 IPS 25 Watt laser. You just proved it is too hard to find. We will need to work on that also.

Interesting. I thought I'd looked through the laser power substrate folder, but must have missed it.

Something I forgot for the list, and if your programmer is using PHP/MySQL for the database stuff like he mentioned, it should be fairly easy to have a "printer friendly" button on any results page which could pop up a new window with simplified formatting of the same data results so people can print it.

Post 1672.1

Duh, It was originaly written by Universal Lasers. They are the ones who gave permission. It came with the New Hermes Optima laser which is why I thought New Hermes.

I'd use a separate CSS for printing, but yes it can be done. All DGL has to do is let me know what pages he wants it for.

Yup, CSS is the way to do it. Theoretically you could add CSS for printing into the same style sheet as the normal page, but in reality that doesn't work consistently across browsers. But redrawing the page with a different CSS file works quite well for generating printer friendly pages.

One feature I think would be useful would be a way of searching the database for types, or rather brands and/or models of equipment used. That way a person if they had a particular piece of equiment he was using or was thinging about buying could ask specific members on the forum their opinon on how they like it or not. That could range from engravers both laser and rotary and even printers and/or presses for sublimation.

John,

A severely underused feature of this software, almost to the point not being used at all, is the rating system, found in the "Links" section.

For example, my rave review of Hyatt Leasing, was met with another opinion, that begged to differ. Enough participation in that area, including comments, as to why a person voted a particular way, would be invaluable.

We should make that feature much more prominent, because it does contain compartmentalized areas for equipment and supplies etc.

Thanks David .. I think it could save a lot of time for both newbies and old timers alike and can go far beyond, as you say, in researching various items. I know in another thread, a poll of Corel versions is being done ... if we had that as part of the listings that could be immediately looked at. Course, I am not so naive' to assume that everyone will want to fill in that much information but it sure can be handly some times.

John,

As you say, people are free to list what information they're comfortable in providing, through their member profile.

The more information, as to programs, equipment used and location, the quicker and more accurate our response to specific questions.

I still suggest that they need to have a real contact name. Total anonymity on here makes for some distrust in the information that may be given from that person. I doesn't need to show up in the posts, that is for nicknames, but at least for the moderators, they should be able to have an idea of who is who.

Franklin,

Your wish will come true.

A lot was said, during the "Meltdown of '06" that bears mulling over, but my decision to require actual names, as usernames, is something I'll dig my heels in on.

That may turn some people off, but there's something to be said for a smaller classroom size. :-)

I am still wishing this didn't pop up when I try to mark discussions as read






I am wasting time reading discussions that I have no interest in. Is anything happening to get this fixed ??

I think you meant to address this to David L. and Harvey. I do know that this is a Beehive V7 bug that is "on the list" of the developers. Until then, enjoy the extra reading. :-)

Mick,

It's something the Beehive (BH) developers are working on and plan to include in v .0.7.2. Keep in mind they work on the BH project in their spare time.

Question: Just curious, but why do you read threads in which you have no interest?

You also have the option of ignoring entire folders in which you have no interest, by clicking the icon to the right of the folder title.
