Ask and you shall receive!I added a new WELCOME button to the beginning of the menu bar, which takes you to the Welcome page. So no matter where you are in the www.f-106deltadart.com/ site you can always get to the welcome screen. Check it out at www.f-106deltadart.com/home.htm

The Old Sarge Ole Sarge...use this link if you want to go straight to the Welcome screen before anything else; instant take-off sound - just like a morning cup of coffee... It times out after a couple of burner bounces then take you to the main menu page:-* www.f-106deltadart.com/index.html   |

i love that opener...the sound is great even on my old klunker of a laptop...the only problem is the page won't fit all the way,. i have to use that slider bar at the bottom of the screen. maybe my new one (when i can afford it) will fix that  |

Maybe you can change it do you know how? I assume you're using Win XP? Right mouse click your desktop and then Properties, then then the settings tab and adjust screen resolution. |

I like using 1280 x 1024 myself, but for coding programs and web stuff I try to use the more common 1024 x 768, but sometimes I forget. Glad you can see it all now! |

With so many enjoying that Welcome screen AB sound, I modified the www.f-106deltadart.com/home.htm home page NEWS section with easy access to hear it whenever you want  and a link below it to the viseo vault where you can find the longer version. |

My online gaming clan has a forum.
For photo posting they have a brouse button and it makes it fast and simple to post pictures.
Have you seen that or know how its set-up?

It's probably a different type of forum engine in the backend that allows for those type of features. Typically they are purchased forum programs that are owned and operated by a person, group or org. This forum is a hosted forum so many of the bells and whistles like that are not available. But something for me to look into. |

Hey Pat,
Many thanks for the changes. I gotta let you know that I'm not to crazy about the "home, help, search, etc..." hot links fonts and color you're using now at the top of the forum page. The small font and the grey-on-grey is a bit hard to see even for my young, 20/17 eyes. I'd bet just a color change to blue (ish) would help.
That's just me talking so thanks for letting me do it! :thanks
Mark
