Archer, This is aviable in the STORM FRONTS section of the Board. I'd send Blake a courtesy e-mail. Also, ALL CAPS implies that you are shouting and mad. Arvel | ||

Sorry about the all caps they have it setup that way here at work for some reason. thanks for the info!  | ||

I was wondering if we have a way to define a search on a whole word fragment like I was looking for replacements for a battery on my 95'S2 and I typed "S2 battery replacement" I got every thing with either a "S2" or "battery" or "replacement". I wanted to narrow that down to only get a responce to include only the all the words that I typed(Ie."S2 battery replacement). Confused? I did narrow the search to the knowledge vault. Your help would be appreciated. Thanx, Chris | ||

Or mabey have a place under "the knowledge Vault" for replacement parts. Put them down on a particular model mabey? Mabey i'm asking too much sorry. Chris | ||

Shotgun, Did you see the instructions on the search page? To search the board, enter one or more words below. Placing a + sign in front of a word requires the word. Placing a - sign in front of a word excludes the word. Placing a "phrase in quotes" matches the entire phrase. PPiA | ||

We are looking forward to the next major new release version of the BBS software. It is currently in public beta testing mode and is up to beta release version 4.32, so I'm hoping that the final version will be available within a few months. We'll then let the other discus Pro users have at it for a month or two to ensure the software is robust. The new version will allow us to search individual subtopics. That way you would be able to search only the "Electronics" subtopic in the Knowledge Vault. Currently, you can as advised on the search page... use quotes to consolidate a string of words. You can also designate required words with a "+" so that the search engine will only show pages that include all words designated with a "+". Try searching the knowledge vault with the following: +S2 +battery +electrical That returns 23 hits on only five pages. Not sure if any will be of help to you, but it at least gives you an idea of how to narrow things down a bit. Or, you could give Tat at ASB a call.  | ||

I would just like to say Thanks to Blake and all others responsible for providing us with this site. One of my other hobbies is RVing and there are 40 bazillion RV sites out there. In all my searching, I haven't been able to find ANYTHING close to the site we have to share our Buell stuff. My helmet is off to you guys. (And gals) Thanks, Chris | ||

Blake, It’s been raining a lot in my hometown of Tacoma, Washington lately and I’ve been doing more reading than riding. I’ve devoured the GenDis Board, Quick Board, the Knowledge Vault, and even started looking at the Personal Profiles. It’s the Personal Profiles section that leads me to write this note and share my latest thoughts about improving the BedWeB. I find the “Personal Profiles” to be unhelpful because it’s time line based and voluntary, and I would like to see it replaced with a constantly up dated list of BBS members. When a new user signs up on the BadWeB, his or her name would be automatically be added to list of members in the “Personal Profiles” section. Ideally this list would be in the form of a spreadsheet, or table, that the viewer could sort either by screen name or user name. Each name would, of course, be hot linked to that users profile. Each member of the BadWeB would still be free to reveal as much or as little personal information in their profile as they wish. Thanks, Ray | ||
| Blake |
Ray, I'm with you. The next release of the BBS software will provide exactly that. I expect the upgrade to happen by September this year, hopefully sooner. | ||

Blake, Will the new software deal with the text running off the screen whenever a large pic is posted? I find my eyes getting crossed. If there is an award(like the Oscars) for websites this board is a shoe-in. SteveH | ||
| Blake |
Unfortunately no. The responsibility is on the poster to limit pic widths to less than 600 pixels. | ||
| Pilk |
I just wish people would put some basic info in their profile. Would be nice to see something other than just an e-mail add. Pilk  | ||
| Jrh |
Its just a thought but it would be nice to have a bunch of photos in a separate section of just these bikes;PPiAs,Rockets,Al Lightons,Barebonz,Squiz,I guess any esspecially nice S1W or like type Buells.You could call it the best of the best or something like that. | ||
| Blake |
JRH, You can do it! Start a new topic on the Quick Board. Use the \imagelink{} formatting tag to post duplicates of existing BadweB Buell pics. That would be too cool. You up for it? | ||
| Jrh |
Blake haha,thanks for the confidence in my computer knowledge,but so far im typing with 2 fingers and the last time i posted something to Jose Q, i could'nt even figure out how to get these ' ~ above the right letters in his name.  But at least i think ive got a camera to take a picture of my bike when i get it together.And no, its not gonna be included in my list of best of the best  Maybe Peter or one of the experts will do the new topic thing,it would be nice to see those photos without searching the archives. | ||

Yeah------ Some pictures! Right On. In fact, here's Ol' Dirtbeards (Bone Breakers M/C) latest wonderful suggestion for the overall improvement of the BadWeB. How about if we had a section entitled "Wallpaper" and loaded it up with high quality pictures of - what else? - BadWeB Buells. Each picture would be available for download in three sizes (1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480). There would be a separate area, or sub category, for the submission of new photos that would be approved by the administrator before being included in the gallery. Most importantly, there would be NO way to add text! No feedback from the masses, no conversation, no comments, NO nuthin’! JUST PICTURES. We could start off with this photo:  | ||
| Raymaines |
Oh never mind.........  | ||
| Raymaines |
Oh, and one more thing: Blake should send at least a ten dollar bill to anybody that makes three posts in a row over a three day period in the "Suggestions" sections.  | ||

Where is the clip art? | ||
| Blake |
here!  | ||

Just found out that along with the intermittant (more inter than otherwise), along with the lost name/password tracking once "logged into the network", I couldn't edit a post I posted because the system dropped my password and said I can't do that without logging in and there was no name/password prompt there to add it into so I left it as was (don't know if that was good or bad, probably bad). Instability, dangerous stuff. Have a very nice day.  | ||
| Blake |
Mike, What OS and browser/version are you using? Are you using a firewall? If so which one, and does it have an ad blocker running? | ||
| Mikej |
Blake, There is a firewall here and it probably has some sort of blocker on it, but I get pop-ups all the time so it may be a selective blocker. Working on a Unix box during the day (Sun with a SunPCi emulator) running IE-version 5.00.something within Windows 2000. 9 times out of 10 at least I get a no new message reply even though I know there are new messages. Just tried it a few moments ago and it worked fine. Just consider this a heads-up as others seem to be having similar problems. Mike. | ||
| Bluzm2 |
Blake, I'm also seeing occasionally. Just happened about 1 hr ago. No new messages. Just for grins I tried it again doing an override to show all posted since 12:01 AM today. It came back "no new messages". Hmmmm, Brad FYI, Win98SE, IE 5.00.2614.3500 | ||
| Blake |
Would you do me a favor and try upgrading to IE6.0 and let me know if that makes a difference? | ||
| Mikej |
I'm not allowed to upgrade anything here on the computer. The new messages function does seem to work on my home system with the ancient Netscape, but only intermittantly with the not-so-ancient IE at home. Anyway, the function worked this morning from work here. Go figure. | ||
| Blake |
Mike, Brad, Be sure to let the new messages search page load entirely, including the banner at the top, before clicking on the "search" button. Are you seeing the banners on the message pages? | ||
| Bluzm2 |
Good point Blake, I'll see if I can duplicate the problem. |
