FSP 3.0 ! Testers wanted

Hello,

I have been working on a new server for the last month and took the time to reinstall everything from scratch.
The work is still in progress, but your feedback is (as always) very welcomed.

Have a look:

HERE

for the next version of FSP.

I still have to convert most of the plans, need to add the missing sections and transfer the PMs.

You can try to login with your existing credentials (last sync was 2 days ago, so newest members won't be able to log in).

Still working on the layout of the main page, not happy with it yet.

Thank you for helping making FSP better

Likeing the forum section, great to have all the new sections on the top bar, to keep track of threads your are currently using..... Not sure on the new main page..... Great work keep it up guys......

yes really need to work on it, I just use it to test all the modules available for now, then we'll just keep the relevant ones and maybe create a "What's new" section with the remaining.

Just had a short look at your new site software, looks good.

Had a quite long delay of page loading, especially at logout.
Need to spend more time though to evaluate things better.

Is there a way of increasing the file size for photos or an automatic reducer so that they always fit. I have tried to post quite a few photos but the files were too big. I know someone will tell me that it can be done before posting, but I haven't found an easy or obvious way of doing it. I'm pretty useless when it comes to this kind of thing.

Tony,

Download GIMP*, load the photo into there, On the main menu go to "Image" half way down you will see "Scale Image" Choose this and then input your image size, keep the largest side to around 600-800 pixels. The just save your image, remembering to add .jpg to the name, so if you want to save the image as tonysbestbox it would be tonysbestbox.jpg

This will get the size of the file down within the limits.

GIMP is not a very easy tool to use but so many pepes use it that advice is always available.

Thanks mate I'll have a look now. I had stuck around 20 photos of a couple of gigs with gear on the desk top ready to send over on the system, which in the past doesn't seem to have been a problem, but having waited ages for it to happen, a note came up saying the file size had exceeded 2MB so I was stuffed. In my Iphoto bit I can't find any obvious way of reducing, hence the post. I had posted photos on here before using Image shack, but even that isn't easy at the moment because a screen keeps coming up that doesn't let me go any further. Life's a pain sometimes.

I have increased the max upload size so you shouldn't have to worry anymore.

On a side note Photorazor is free, dead easy (2clicks) and very fast to resize pictures (even full folders):
