 he he ... good to see you're going global.
but bare in mind there's some serious competition over here.
There's a couple of sites that seem to be the bees knees. Not only in membership but in coding too.
Actually one thing that grabs me from them is nifty piece of code they have for their Java Menu. You know the problem with select fields disappearing or appearing in front of the menu.
well they have something that replaces the actual select field with simple text field so that the content remains on screen.
I am planning to research that side of things soon but if you have any ideas regarding that I would love to hear them

Here you go 
We're aware of the stiff competition we'll have over there (Aus' is just that wee bit bigger than our small isle, after all  ) but we're confident we can make an imapct on the market.

Cheers Shaggy, I was away for a few days... call it a mini break :)
I am familiar with that menu and it's very good.
Anyway back to work now and on with the gallery side of things. Actually checking out the various solutions for "thumbnailing" (not sure that's a word he he:)) images. Got a few here and trying to find the fastest one.
P.S. Hows the global expansion plans going ?

Ticking over nicely, think we're going to start with the U.K. and expand from there.
Let me know what you come up with on the thumbnailing side of things as we've been looking into a few different solutions here as well, but haven't taken it too far as yet.

Sure, Ill be testing a few live hopefully in the next few days.
Will let you know the results.
At the moment I'm working on the extensive search page and as for the thumbnails tossing between having same name thumb but in a different folder or adding an extension to the filename and having it the the same folder... I think I am opting for the second method. It would be easier to manage in the long run. Plus also making space for a private Gallery.
Once these three parts are done, then it's the chat and it's ready of uploading ... Here's hoping that something good will come out of this He he

Just an update on the thumbnail thing. Tried a few free scripts out there plus the one in the photoalbum mod, somehow though I decided on a .net framework script. I haven't had time to really test it live yet but I think it should work OK, it tests great locally. Ill provide the URL for testing once I've uploaded it.
What I really need help with though is the chat side of things. As I have no cash to spend... (story of my life :)) I'm going with ConquerChat.I downloaded the latest v 4.4 and 99% of this is now done but what's really setting me back is passing a few snitz variables over to the users window. I'm trying to integrate them within the conquer chat session but for a day now I've been chasing my tail.... :)
For example I'm trying to get it open the snitz profile display page instead of the chat one. Another thing is gender icons.
Another one (if I have time) is to continue a topic in chat.
Has anyone got something like this done? I mean passing variables into the Chat session ie users.snitzid or users.gender etc...
Oh and Shaggy if you happen to read this, can you tell me which chat program did you go with?

Built me own while we looked into the various alternatives and ended up just sticking with. Not too familiar with CC so I can't be of much help there. A search of these forums, though, should bring up a rake of topics about it and you'll also find the CC forums themselves of use.

| Wow build your own that's impressive. Is your's real time or does it work on the same principal as CC? As for what I'm looking for, I've searched here and over at Theill's forum but found nothing ... I guess Ill just continue with the trial and error thing :)< |

Similar princiapl, I have a hidden frame which refreshes every x seconds checks if ther have been any new posts since the last refresh and updates the HTML in the main chat window if there are. If you saw my code, though, you wouldn't be that impressed! Which is the reason I haven't released it as a mod!
