I'll look into it and see what we can do. In the meantime you can always use the "Search" link on the sidebar to search through forum posts by username. Thanks. Tommy

First of all, the lack of respect issue is directed towards those who have been banned based upon their clear lack of respect for the privacy of the merchants forum. In no way did I indicate that you have or do not have any respect for others. In addition I was stating factual information about those who have been banned for their disrespect of the confidentiality of the information and opinions found in the Private merchants forum. In no way is that destructive, abusive, defamatory or a personal attack. It is a factual observation and comment. I apologize that you are not able to recognize the differences between them. Once again, let's exercise some common sense. There are other places online that you can go to argue all day if you so wish.

If a forum is labeled as "Private" and only certain members have access, then it's obvious that this information is not public and the information and opinions are not intended to be shared with the entire community or other communities. There are several hundred merchants, most of which feel that the information and opinions they share in the "Private" Merchants forum are truly private and will not be posted in a public forum. The fact that a select few of you have no respect for the confidentiality of this information as well as betray the confidence of fellow merchants just further substantiates the new policies that have been put into effect as of late. One would think that adults would be able to differentiate between Private and Public without having someone hold your hand and walk you through Common Sense 101. Unfortunately, bshafer seems to be one of the few, if not the only one, demonstrating any common sense in this thread. Furthermore, we are not to blame nor are we liable for the presence of art galleries, free stuff, etc., if an individual chooses to use poor judgment which causes them in turn to get banned. I suggest everyone exercise a little common sense and act like adults instead of arguing just for the sake of argument. Otherwise, there will be no need to waste time addressing any further comments.

Before anyone draws conclusions as to why Entropic was banned ... Entropic was banned for copying information out of the private Merchant forum and posting it word for word at another site. This is a clear violation of the TOS.

I'll test opera when I get to work and see if I have any of the same issues. TL

By the way, I'm only showing four of your gallery images not appearing correctly. Tommy

I don't know how long it's been since you last logged in, but we recently performed some upgrades to our servers and our site architecture which caused a problem with transferring over some images. Since there are hundreds of thousands of images we have asked that you re-upload any images that do not seem to appear in your gallery, as it may take us some time to restore some of these images. I apologize for the problem and the inconvenience. If this does not correct the problem then please let me know. Thanks. Tommy

We have intentions on making some improvements to the galleries in the near future. I will make sure this is added to the list of concerns. Thanks. Tommy

This problem has been resolved. Thanks for the heads up. Tommy

Hi everyone, There was a bug with posting comments in the galleries for some images. This problem has been resolved and I apologize for the confusion. Tommy.

This is fixed - thanks for the heads up. Tommy

No problem - we had to make some changes for the new, quicker gallery & one of those changes affected that link. Thanks. Tommy

Got it fixed guys - thanks for the heads up. Tommy

That's a good idea as well. I've been considering that issue also. We'll have organize some statistical data to determine just how many people (due to browser restrictions and/or their personal preference about pop-ups) this would effect and discuss it among the team. Thanks for the ideas and feedback.

This was the initial thought on displaying the Notes & Requirements. There was a concern for using too much javascript to implement pop up windows, etc. due to some browser restrictions (older browser versions & AOL primarily.) However, we have made the change as you have suggested. Thank you for the suggestion. Tommy
