We have added several new features today to help users find and view several items.
1. On the right sidebar under your name you will see your avatar if you have one.
You can click on your avatar and that will bring up your "Current Profile".
If you don't have an avatar, you will see a new link "My Profile". If you click on that link this will also bring up your current profile.
2. Once you are in your current profile you may see several new items.
If you have any "Project Albums" they will show up in your profile.
If you click on the new project albums link, this will take you directly to your project albums.
This was never before possible as this was always set to bring up all of the project albums instead of just the members project albums.
Here is my link: http://www.whalercentral.com/photogal...?user_id=4
You link will obviously be different if you have a project album.
3. The same above link to your project albums is listed under your name in the Forum section along with Personal Pages, Whaler Shopper, etc., if you have joined any of these groups.
4. We have added the correct names under the photo albums in the project album section. If you have a project album(s), your name should appear after Created by: ...... Please not that we have a few blank names under the albums as we are having a hard time finding the members "username"....
Gets kind of confusing sometime like the old skit, "Who's on First" by Abbott and Costello.....
5. We also added the "Members Websites" link on the left sidebar a few days ago for those of you that missed it.
http://www.whalercentral.com/infusion...ites_3.php
This is much more robust than the last version. The only thing that is not working in this new link is the A-Z function.
We are working on that.
There are 205 members that have included their websites in their profile.
We are still working on several other things as we continue to fine tune, develop, and improve many of the features on WhalerCentral.
We hope you enjoy these new features.

Joe, Noticed today that my signature is gone from the bottom of my posts, could this be related? Thanks, Dave

Good eye Dave.
I forgot to mention that.
The signatures were getting way too out of hand with people putting way too much stuff in there. Photo links to outside photo hosting services, advertising links, etc...
The signature was never meant to be so intense.
Some people just got too carried away and couldn't control themselves.
(Not pointing to anyone in particular)
We have turned OFF the signatures for everyone at this time.
The way it was heading was getting out of hand and was detracting from the forum posts.
I couldn't read the posts through all the signature mumble jumble....

On the member website links - you cannot click the letter at the bottom to get to the new page it gives this error
"You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'WHERE user_web !=''' at line 1
There are no Members starting with J" I clicked on several letters and got the same error. Just an FYI.

Joe, is there any way to allow only text in the signature area? I had my name and boat model and size in there and it was really nice not to have to type it every time.

It would be nice if we could have a signature of some sort.......I agree with you though, it was getting somewhat irritating having to look at cartoons, etc on post after post, but it was nice to see a member's name a brief descript of his boat

Perhaps we could add a place for boat description on left side with number of posts, date joined, location, etc.

I have turned the signatures back on.
We will give this a try and see how it goes.
Please, no images, no animations, no links to photos, no links to websites and no advertising...
Just plain text.
I didn't realize that by turning the signatures off that they would all be deleted. Maybe that is a good thing. Now the admins don't have to go thru everyone's signatures as they are all gone.
So, you will need to create a new one if desired.
Again, Please... Just one line of plain text will do.
Thanks.
Here is my signature below:
