That's brilliant! Instead of building people's IKEA furniture for them, a business could be started where someone comes and build your Lego sets for you!

I now know what I want to be if I grow up!

Re: FORUMS UPGRADES

Just testing it on my mobile device and I see I need to do some adjusting so the set images and YouTube video frame size so it looks better.... YouTube videos are now fixed and should resize properly on all devices to 75% of the screen width. "LegoSet" tagged images are now fixed and should resize p...

Re: FORUMS UPGRADES

OK, so that post made my post count go up, but the 8 posts I made that didn't increase my post count (the ones that made me notice this) were not added. Yup, sorry. You are all better now, but it was a fix that affects things going forward and doesn't account for the past. If I force the system rec...

Re: FORUMS UPGRADES

Added a new special BBCode to the text editor called LegoSet It will allow the inserting of a lego set image without having to search for it. It links through BrickSet and creates a link to the BrickSet page automatically. Try it out, or quote my post to see the BBCode I used. For example: 42009-1 L...

Only if your posts are posted more than 3 hours apart. If you post in the same forum before someone else posts after you and it's less than 3 hours, your posts will be merged and your count won't increment. :p

Re: FORUMS UPGRADES

I found the issue. It wasn't what I thought it was. There was a permission setting in the forum that will prevent posts from counting in certain forums. Seems the setting for members (only) was set to not increment on certain forums. I have adjusted that and it should be all better now. I checked ev...

Re: FORUMS UPGRADES

Is there a problem with post counts on profiles? Since the upgrade, I've posted a buncha times, but my post count seems to be stuck at 391. When I click on it though, the number is higher than that (and changes with each post). I will look into that. I wonder if the archiving I did may have affecte...

Re: Lego wants all your money - Free Shipping @ $35

Most large Lego I've ordered has always come FedEx. I don't think I've done a small order. Maybe FedEx is offering them amazing rates in view of the strike to boost their volume and take over the rest of CPC's postal volume.

Re: Who's keeping count any more.... Brothers Brick: BrickBaron +1

Also, I updated the Flickr display on our front page. Now it pulls 10 random photos from the Vancouver Lego Club flickr group. If you add photos to that group, as always, make sure they are the best 1 or 2 photos of your MOC. It could also become a nice way to add a little traffic to your flickr acc...

For some reason whenever I come to the forums I'm never auto-logged in. I always click it every time I login to auto-login next time but it never works. Is it something with Chrome? It should work. I use it successfully. If you go to your user control panel you can delete your "Remember Me" login k...

Ack, why the change? (I searched 'date' in this thread and didn't see any requests for such.) As a programmer, I'd have figured you'd be all over the yyyy.mm.dd format that sorts automatically. ;-) I've never understood how mm.dd.yyyy can be so popular in North America when it can lead to so much c...

Also BrickSky, I have been trying to change the date format in the header calendar but I can't seem to be able to modify it. I even modified the source code and it still shows day month year, so I'm not sure what's going on there... will keep at it. So we have success. Dates in the calendar above a...

Yes, in the top left corner (left of "home") there is a button with 3 horizontal lines, it's in there. "New Posts" are posts that are new since you last logged in. "Unread Posts" (found in the menu) are posts that you have not read and will always show up until you read them or mark them read. "Acti...
