Thanks,

Photo Gallery

Manborg — Tue, 8 Jul 2008 14:40:02 -0500

Does anyone know if there is a link that sends you to all the photos loaded by everyone so you can scroll through them? As far as I can tell, the only way to find photographs is through searching individual people. Also, when I hit the next button while looking at someone's photos it always skips a...

Finding Forum Posts

Monkeyzbox — Fri, 2 May 2008 12:40:15 -0500

I logged in today to check on a topic in one of the forums but I can't find it.

Is there some way to find all the posts you've made, like you can find all the topics you've started? i.e. a way to find your posts on other peoples topics.

Is there some way to subscribe to other people's...

I want to print out some of the posts from BNT. No que when the article appears on the screen. This has happened before on other Matador sights. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Maps in blogs?

evanbwhite — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 07:58:43 -0500

I can't seem to get a map to show up at the top of my blog. Why is that? It advertises this as a feature, but I can't figure out how to do it.

PM's again.

Kaunassian — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 15:54:16 -0500

I'm still getting mails telling me that i got new pm's and when i get here i don't.
It's ok, no biggie. What i find interesting, is that after checking my inbox, and seeing no message there, if i click in "my account", i see a larger number of messages than the ones i can really see in my inbox....

Embed videos/slideshows?

Becky On The Road — Sat, 5 Apr 2008 15:50:32 -0500

Hi all. I'm new to Matador and loving every minute of it so far! Can a video or a slideshow (from Slide.com, for example) be embedded in to a travel blog?

Thanks!

Help! Can't post blogs...

deva — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 14:57:08 -0500

Hey gang, I've been trying to post a new blog for several days now and can't - the "Select Blog Location" line doesn't appear as a link so I can't expand it to see the map and fill in my location. Since location is mandatory, hitting "submit" just takes me to a "location is mandatory" screen, again without...

Length of body when posting blogs

Lauren Lim — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 08:24:41 -0600

Would it be possible to make it so that we can extend the body (box?) of a blog post when we're writing it? We can do this when we write forum topics or private messages, for example.

Private messages

Kaunassian — Sat, 9 Feb 2008 07:35:49 -0600

I got this message telling i've got a private message, but when i go to my inbox, it says "no messages". Any idea why that is? Thanks.

tech help

novoarte — Tue, 5 Feb 2008 08:44:34 -0600

I'm exercising my fledgling website design muscles and could use some help from someone who is familiar with The Morning After (the program, unfortunately named, not the pill). We could barter or I could pay. If you're interested, let me know.

"Sigs"

Olivebeard — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:33:32 -0600

I'm a dork...a photoshop dork at that. Anyway, one thing I've found on a lot of forums is a signature--a cool image that sticks to the end of all your posts. (see below)

For anyone who's interested:

-525 pixels is the max width for this forum
