User Profile Settings / Site Admin

[HotRod]

Hey Bubba/Tyke's, I was looking at my user profile for my bike information. Since I have 2 bikes I was giving information on both of them. The field "Year" only allows for 4 characters, I was attempting to put in the field something like [ 2002 / 2006 both Midnights ] Would it be possible to expand that field to allow a full line of characters?
Thanks,

Rod

[Tykes_Place]

Sure. I just set 4 characters because it's a year. Maybe we can add new fields for 2nd bikes?

[BubbaKahuna]

Fixed, now we can put up to 20 characters in the YEAR field

Can you set post reply so that it don't have a 10 character minimum?

[BubbaKahuna]

Maybe, I'm not sure what you're referring to though.

[davej]

If I reply to a post with say 1 short word (less than 10 letters) or if I just tried to post a smiley face, I get a message that won't let me post because it has to have a min of 10 characters to post a message.

this is the ERROR MESSAGE
Please enter a message with at least 10 characters (please_enter_message_x_chars

Try it try to post just the word "yes"

[FDRUCaptain]

Yes, fix this please!

[Tykes_Place]

Removed the 10 character minimum. Wasn't aware of it.

[FDRUCaptain]

Thank you sir!

also is there a way to be able to see the topics down the side or somewhere when you are looking in a thread like we had on the old site. I may just have something wrong on my settings I'm not sure but right now when I'm on a thread I have to click on "New topics" at the top of the page to see current thread subjects.

[Tykes_Place]

How's that? Thanks for bringing it up. I thought something wasn't quite right on the thread view.

[davej]

Thats perfect THANK YOU!!!!

[Shores]

Perfect! Now can you put the side bar on the left like the old site! We’re a bunch of inflexible geezers!

[HotRod]

OK have another request when you have some time. Can you please make the "Default Style" ie. blue/white look the same at the top as the red/black theme??? Give it the Clinic Logo and the bikes across the top. Dont know if this is possible as it is the "default" style but would sure be nice.
Thanks,
Rod

[Tykes_Place]

Didn't realize the default style was still turned on. Just switched it off though.

[HotRod]

Well that sucks, I cant stand the red/black theme.

[Tykes_Place]

Sorry about that. Theming is complicated. We have parent and child themes and chaining one affects the other.

[Shores]

And another thing that chaps my ass......Many of the fields assume we all have carbonated bikes. How about some fields for us fuelies such as:

”How many seconds do you let it run after a cold start before blasting off?”
”What hobbies do you engage in since you don’t have to spend your time removing the fuel pump?”
”Is Carb Puke a sign of an eating or a motorcycle disorder?”
”How long have you gone without saying the word carburetor?
”Do you even know how to spell carburetor?”

[Tykes_Place]

How many times a day to you look down on carboratedified bikes in disdain?

[Shores]

How many times a day to you look down on carboratedified bikes in disdain?

I just wish peace to all!

[davej]

Can you make some of the Bike profile info a "required field" to get past the registration ? At least the basic info?

[Shores]

Some of the fields in your User Profile have been added or changed. This may have altered the info you entered. Please take to time to check and correct yours. The option of indicating Carbonated or Fuelie was added which moved some of my motorcycle info to the Hobbies field. Thanks to who ever made the great changes!

[Txulrich]

Another field might be helpful for the type of air breather. Also a free form space to describe any other mods that we've done not covered by the standard options.

[BubbaKahuna]

Just added an "Additional Info" text box to profiles for anything you'd like to add, paint, electronics, mods or custom work, etc.
