Thanks, Admin!

I see VW's page format has been revamped a little bit. I'd particularly like to say "Thank you" for the "breadcrumbs" at the bottom of the page as well as the top, and the "New Recipes" option on the Recipe menu. Easier to sort through than "What's New at a Glance" when what I want to see is just the new recipes that have been posted.

Thanks again, Y!
Where is the link/posting for joining as a subscriber? I feel like I've gained too much from this site over the years, despite the fact that I've lately been too swamped to participate much in the discussion, to remain just a member. I remember people use to post "the banner up right now says $34/lifetime" or whatever, but I've never been able to see the banner.
I must be looking in the wrong places.
BTW, thanks for "cleaning up" the site.
Yup, the place looks tidy & neat. Posting pictures to recipes is so much easier now. No more fumbling around to find the right recipe. :w00t!:

The Lifetime Subscription Op usually happens around Christmas. Very savvy of Admin, actually. That was how I talked DH into using his plastic on the Net for once.
I'm also waiting for the lifetime sub. :>
I have a commment about the new color scheme. When I reply and the previous posts are listed below the text box, there's either not enough contrast between a post and darker bar with the next poster's info in it or there's not enough space between one post and the next user's info. You've probably been in chat for feedback when I'm at work, where chat it blocked, so I haven't had a chance to mention it.
yabbitgirl, thanks for the comments! The "New Recipes" menu link was not part of the recent changes, but I'm glad you like it. The "What's New at a Glance" link is solely for displaying the new stuff in the old homepage format...
Does anyone still use the "What's New at a Glance" page, or can it safely be removed?
Yes, the lifetime subscription is just an occasional thing. I'm not certain when it will occur again, but we'll see. ;)
HH, thanks, you're absolutely right about the posts not being clearly differentiated during a reply. I'll look into that now.

Yes, thanks for the updates!
I'm waiting for a photo gallery like photopost to be installed :)
Thanks!
humboldt_honey,
I've added an orange bar in between the posts. The white text on orange isn't the best, but it's definitely a visual improvement!

photopost looks great, but I'm not sure about how well it would integrate with SMF. Also, it might be a rather large undertaking to convert all of the coppermine user galleries to photopost. I'm not prepared at this point to take this on, but I'll keep it in mind for something down the road.
Yvette
Thanks. It's more delineated now and the orange contrasts better with the quoted posts internal to a post. ;)b

Yeah, I used Photopost as an example because it's well known, but I didn't really want you to use it - I've used it before and it's bloated and the code is sloppy and ugly. I think if you want to get ambitious one day you should switch to an opensource platform like Joomla, Drupal or Mambo... You definitely would have some initial headache in getting a custom migration script done for all the pieces you have here, but then we'd be smooth sailing and so much more scalable. There's even a cool recipe module for them now, and you wouldn't have to be piecing things together anymore. :)>>>

Where is the banner (any banner relating to joining, not just the lifetime thing) located? I don't see anything on the main page, or this one, or the recipe pages. I kinda feel like it must be right under my nose, just not in a format that I'm expecting. Is in my profile? Sorry, I feel pretty stupid here but I've been looking causally for quite some time and I swear I don't see anything.
I could buy a Super Vita Mix or go to India with my fellow veg*ns....

Sorry, I misunderstood (that's what I get for attempting to multi-task). Go up to the "VegFriends" tab and click "My Subscription" (it's the last item in the drop-down list for that tab). You can also get to it by clicking "Account Settings" on the left and then "VegFriends Subscription". There isn't a banner.. just a link to the subscription page. Let me know if you have any other questions.

*Woot* Upgrades are sweet! Thanks Evette! You are da bomb http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm189/tagser/thpeace_bomb.gif
Oh!! I just noticed the 'Modify' option on one of my recipes. Yaaaay! Total yayness. Now I can go back through my older recipes which I wrote when I was a new vegan with less smarts (:lol:) and put in recent tweaks/revamps.
Thanks! :D
