@James Freeman I'm sorry James. I honestly didn't mean to make you sad or ruin your day.

 

[James Freeman]

Nah, I wasn't going to share something important, just a patch.

 

[DrewJD82]

I was just thinking the other day about being able to share Fractal presets on here, good move!

Couldn’t someone just use a drop box link?

I’m a big dropbox user, so that seems pretty easy. But I wonder if it’s cumbersome for people that don’t already have an account?

I'm looking at it James. Don't fret. Anything but a guitar.

 

[Fireproof]

It's nice that @The Colonel is helping us share files...

BUT!

@The Colonel I don't know if you have this sort of permissions granularity available, but: Maybe consider giving zip file upload permissions to users with a message count above a certain number? Just to slightly reduce the chance of bot accounts registering and then immediately uploading malware to TGF?

For example, the FAS forum does this for http link-posting - you can't post a link until you've posted 10 messages.

Yeah, that’s a great practice. I ran a fitness forum years ago and had to do the same… no links, no Uploads, no attachments until a certain post count. Some of those bots or hackers are aggressive, so even 10 was too low. (I didn’t have a global team of moderators, so while we slept in the U.S. bots or hackers would post a bunch of random stuff to get to 10, then go back and edit each post to contain links. Ugh). So I ended up setting it to 25 posts as minimum. That did the trick.

Yo, Mr. Colonel, I really want to share some presets without jumping through google drive hoops.

As far as I can see; this is a paid upgrade. Unfortunately. Keep your pasting fingers handy till the unpaid help can see if it can be fixed "for free"

Mr. @The Colonel sir, can we please view full sized images without being logged in?

I'll take a look at it when I get a moment.

Give this a go when you get a chance.

 

[James Freeman]

It works, thank you.

 

[The Colonel]

Bump for the new crew.

 

[jellodog]

Whoa! Shrug reaction addition.

 

[jellodog]

Megastar.

How about that as a next level to attain, when so many of us are Rock Stars these days?

I think there is a higher level (or 2), it just will take us a while to reach it. Must be way up there if @JiveTurkey hasn’t even reached it yet.

Ah yes, good point. I'd always assumed that JT would have hit it by now, but I suppose the ceiling could be way higher than I'd previously imagined.

Now they COULD introduce more levels, with more intermediate steps so we see a bit more progress through the ranks. When I had a fitness forum, we had fun with it and had like 12 levels, and each level got you a different weight badge under your name.

I'm all up for that!
