General Software Discussion / Re: Backup Software recommendations 2018?

« Last post by mouser on April 04, 2018, 02:34 PM »

Are you sure you don't want an online backup service?  Not only does it do most of what you want, and the user doesn't have to worry about managing "where" the files are stored; and you don't have to worry about an hd crash losing then.

There are a handful of top online backup services.. We've been discussing many of them here: https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=44235.0

Carbonite, Backblaze, SpiderOak (which I use)

These aren't too laborious to produce.. Some spray paint, oil marker, and hand painting the beak, feet, and eyes.

I'll try some more sizes for cody and the coin...

Text on coin face and around the rim are customizeable.

So, it seems to me I could make a couple dozen of these with custom text and send them out to special folks.

The problem was that you used

[Select]

[attachthumb] or [attach]

in your post.
Those are only for images.

If you simply add nothing to your message, you will see your file available as an attached item for download at the bottom of your post.

OR you could do

[Select]

[attachurl]

which is the same (shows a download link) except that you decide where in your post the download link is shown.

I've gone ahead and modified your post for you to show you.

I was so enamored of the Number 6 painting by Barb, that I just had to have one of my own.. Here is my special Number 24:



This won't be its permanent home -- I just want to be able to keep an eye on that little bird while he settles in to make sure he doesn't try to zoom off.  Then I'll hang this someplace where it has a little more room to breathe.

Living Room / Re: Just tried using a 4k monitor in my setup, did not like it

« Last post by mouser on April 03, 2018, 12:38 AM »

by default the resolution is set to a lower resolution like 2560 x 1440.  They end up paying extra for something that they will never use.

Not only that but when I got my 4k monitor I figured if I didn't like it I could set set the resoltution lower to something closer to what I was used to -- but the problem was the image was horribly fuzzy at lower resolutions.

They won't automatically, no.

In fact the fundraiser banner tallies new money coming into the site during the fundraiser, and it doesn't really pay attention to where it goes, so some people might donate during the fundraiser and send some credits to a specific person, but it still counts it in the fundraiser tally.  That's ok because *most* people don't do that, and any money bouncing around the site is good.  (So for example in other words, the money in your donationcredits might have come from and been counted in the LAST fundraiser).

Having said that -- if you'd like to send your donationcredits to the site account and have it count on the fundraiser banner -- or if someone recently donated to the site and would like their credits "counted", just send me a personal message and tell me how much and I'll update the banner appropriately so your contribution is counted
