Dear TeeBeeDee members,
Just came across something that might be of use - a free program called VSO Image Resizer from www.vso-software.fr
In addition to resizing photos, you can change the compression/resolution ratio of a photo, and it works with RAW camera formats in addition to jpeg, gif and tiff files. I have not road-tested this program but thought it worth sharing.

Maybe it would be better to "back off" the broken improvement ..now all my discussions are hidden again !! – bartman, on August 21, 2008 12:04

Thanks. We are working on a fix for content alerts on group discussions that will not cause members to receive content alerts for other discussions in the group that do not concern them. This is planned for a release later this week, so stay tuned...

This is the latest from TeeBeeDee engineer, GregSherwin:
Apologies for the confusing interface for the time being. When we first launched Group alerts, people who joined a group received alerts not only for new discussions and comments in their chosen discussions, but also for every comment made within any discussion in the same group (wasn't designed that way, which is another story, but that's what came out). A number of users complained loudly that they were overwhelmed by the volume of alerts and that they felt a bit "spammed" by it all.

As we currently have it implemented, the software that supports alerts for non-group discussions currently also runs on the group discussions - and for ALL the discussions in a group. So we had to make a quick decision until we can make and verify the right change. Because the current software leaves it sort of as an all-or-nothing proposition, we decided to temporarily appease the members who felt they were getting too many alerts from groups. Therefore alerts in groups now are only for new discussions, and when you start a discussion, and we know that the current Web site leaves the false impression that you can subscribe to comment alerts within a single group discussion.

This means those who want alerts on comments in groups won't receive them until we come up with a better product solution and some additional software changes. It is definitely a broken user experience, but we opted to error on the side of not overloading users' inboxes. Even if the current language in the group discussions for subscribing to alerts now leaves the wrong impression. We'll definitely be cleaning that up in a future release.

In the meantime, non-group discussion alerts still message on new comments.

Hi TeeBeeDee members,
New folks will no longer be awarded Founding Member status in the near future, but for the time being the status is awarded when you complete your profile, add a photo or other identifying image, and answer a minimum of five of the TeeBeeDee "Quickees."
Cheers!

Me, too. I was, now I'm not. – LadyBug 00, on July 17, 2008 03:13

Works now Greg, thank you.

Please give it another try. We rooted the problem down to a nasty issue where there was a system resource that was being locked up for updating entries in the search index. It was removed a little over an hour ago and registration seems to be continuing fine on all servers now.

Sorry for the headaches, and thanks for your continued persistence!

Hi,
Sorry you're having trouble registering. We're aware of the bug and are working on resolving it. Thanks for your patience!

Hey, deafwomynpride, is your question about videos for Yahoo? I'm not sure and want to clarify. – Eric Suesz, on July 08, 2008 06:37

Valid feedback, for sure! We are working on some helpful videos that will make it easier to get a good intro to our site for new users. – Eric Suesz, on July 08, 2008 06:37

thanks... I didn't see it before... I originally tried to find an FAQ/manual/intro guide on the site but there wasn't anything. I understand you guys like to use the site as designed but it would be helpful to have a traditional intro guide or something (maybe you do and I missed it... which would mean it isn't easy to find). – silvervein, on July 08, 2008 06:34

hey.. how do I protect my videos? someone stole few of my videos few weeks ago. again how do i remove my videos??? email shanrid@yahoo.com

Thank you!!! just wasn't sure of the procedure. :) – Trooper, on July 07, 2008 19:45

To use the "Quote" feature in a discussion:

- Click on the "Quote" box. The member's entire post will appear. You can edit this if you don't want all of the text to appear.
- Type your response in the box that says "Enter your comment here."
- Click on "Submit."
To edit the comment you've posted just click on "Edit," make your changes, and click on "Submit."

Where is your on-sit feeback form? I'm looking and looking and can't findone on any page. – pyesal, on July 07, 2008 00:56

In that case, silvervein, you can stop following a topic and you won't get anymore e-mail notifications about it. You can find that in the upper-right hand corner of a topic page. Like so:



Or, you can choose "Stop following this question" in your e-mail. The latter is probably the easiest choice. It appears in every e-mail notification about a topic.

Like so:



Sorry if you feel spammed. It's not our intention to bombard you, just to update you.

I understand how to turn off notifications... but what if I want to turn off only SOME notifications e.g. the ones where my question has been answered. In other words, I post two questions after following several posts one of them gets resolved. How do I turn-off notification for just the answered question?

did this, but no luck still...
