BBTom · May 25, 2003, 05:02:37 AM

Thanks Jeff, I am certain your database will be a very busy place this week.

chet · May 25, 2003, 05:47:33 AM

Thanks Jeff for your efforts.

Neil_B · May 25, 2003, 05:54:20 AM

Much appreciated Jeff!

this site just keeps getting better 8)

Danny_S · May 25, 2003, 06:16:14 AM

Looks great Jeff, great job... I noticed that when you hit "Return to Homepage" it brings up the error "There is no value for cgifunction"
You probably allready know about this but I just wanted to let you know in case you didnt.

woodmills1 · May 25, 2003, 06:22:25 AM

I'm in. 8)

[size=8]THANKS![/color][/size]

Jeff · May 25, 2003, 06:24:35 AM

oops. ;D

I fixed it. I guess I was not sure what I wanted homepage to be. Back to the main search page? Thats where I pointed it for now.

You guys should spread the word on this where you can. The more entries we get will the more functional itwill be for our visitors. I will try to figure out where to put a "Find a sawmill" link on the forum where its noticable.

Jeff · May 25, 2003, 06:32:25 AM

Has anybody tried to send themselves a message from it yet?

Sawyerfortyish · May 25, 2003, 07:06:35 AM

I think i'm in Just a suggestion maybe under the member map to the left you could put a find a sawyer quick link. I don't see how you use this do you click on the toolbox and do a search?

sawwood · May 25, 2003, 07:23:26 AM

I added my sawmill guy to the list. He doesn't have a
computer so I will be his e-mail link. Jeff is there a way
we can see the hole list to see ?

Sawwood

BW_Williams · May 25, 2003, 07:24:09 AM

Thanks Jeff! Message test worked. BWW

shopteacher · May 25, 2003, 07:28:50 AM

This is a great addition to the forum. Thanks for creating it.

Jeff · May 25, 2003, 07:29:52 AM

If you want to see the whole list, just hit search without putting anything in the boxes. It will return all the records entered so far.

Anybody see any glaring problems yet? I am trying to pretty up the format some.

Ed_K · May 25, 2003, 02:24:43 PM

Thanks Jeff, we're in.

SawInIt CA · May 25, 2003, 02:52:24 PM

Thanks for the sawyer link Jeff. This site is like the Beatles.......getting better all the time.

Dave :D

Rob · May 25, 2003, 02:55:38 PM

Thanks Jeff I too took my turn,I was wondering though can we put ourselves in two different catagories??

Thanks Rob.

Jeff · May 25, 2003, 03:37:05 PM

O.K.
Here is your chance to see if you remember your logins. I have found a way for at least USA guys to add a map. Go back in and find the field "postal code for map" and put in your zip. I dont think it works for Canada, but if you don't add anything, nothing will appear.

I recommend once you add it, you try the map link and make sure it does point to where you live.

Rob · May 25, 2003, 04:02:30 PM

Jeff,

I just logged in and could not find what you are talking about..Could you help me out a little here.

Thanks Rob

Jeff · May 25, 2003, 04:20:34 PM

OOPS!

I added it to my view but not yours! 1 sec!

Rob · May 25, 2003, 04:26:11 PM

Thanks Jeff I was wondering why I was'nt seeing it ;)

Jeff · May 25, 2003, 04:27:02 PM

O.K. now its there.

:D

Rob · May 25, 2003, 04:27:55 PM

Thanks Jeff I just edited it,now I have a map ;D

Thanks Again Rob

Jeff · May 25, 2003, 04:55:55 PM

I need some suggestions for the link to the left. Find-a-mill does not fit everybody. What would work?

Fla._Deadheader · May 25, 2003, 05:01:11 PM

I added our mill to the database. The zip code was there an hour ago, and now it's not?? I refreshed and tried everything else I could think of. What am I missing??
Nice touch to the best Forum out there. ;)

Rob · May 25, 2003, 05:03:42 PM

Jeff how about

   Find-a-Mill
   or
   Timber Harvester

   Maybe yes/no ideas??

   Rob.

Rob · May 25, 2003, 05:08:02 PM

Fla,

login to it and scroll down and it should say :Postal code for map" right under City..Atleast that what I have anyway see if that works.

Rob.

Fla._Deadheader · May 25, 2003, 05:21:06 PM

Thanks Rob. It's a different format than when I viewed it around noon today. ;D

Rob · May 25, 2003, 05:30:19 PM

No problem glad I could help

It's definetly a very good addition to the forum no doubt..

Percy · May 25, 2003, 05:39:20 PM

Heya Jeff
This thing is cool and Im sure will be a benefit to all who use the service. Nuther thing it'll be good for is whenever you go on a trip, you can find out where all the mills are and hava visit ;D 8)
Thanks for doing this.

Rob · May 25, 2003, 05:47:31 PM

Hey Jeff good choice that should just about cover us all..Thanks for the service much appreciated.

Rob.

biziedizie · May 25, 2003, 06:27:26 PM

Jeff this is a great idea! One problem though, it won't let me add my city. In the drop down for cities it just has the provinces listed.
Did I screw up some how?

Steve

Danny_S · May 25, 2003, 06:28:27 PM

Hey Jeff, in reply to the link to the left.....how about.

Sawer Locator [/glow]
Logging Firms Locator [/glow]
Forestry Technician Locator [/glow]

Just a suggestion......... ???

Jeff · May 25, 2003, 07:03:17 PM

QuoteI dont think it works for Canada.

Honest guys, it dont. A couple of you have added your Canadian postal code to your entry and it puts you in kansas!

Jeff · May 25, 2003, 07:06:12 PM

biziedizie,

I goofed up on an edit. hang on...

Jeff · May 25, 2003, 07:11:26 PM

O.K. I think I squashed da bug. Try again

Paul_H · May 25, 2003, 07:24:58 PM

Bizzie,
I don't think we're in Kansas anymore. ???

Jeff · May 25, 2003, 07:26:34 PM

I fixed the city thing, not the canadian thing. You are still with Toto. :D

BBTom · May 25, 2003, 07:50:30 PM

Thanks Jeff,
The clickable code works like a champ. Guess I need to read up on my coding, been too many years, too many advancements for this old 4gl programmer. need to learn some html and java and perl, I guess.

Thanks again for the tip, Fantastic job.

Tom

Danny_S · May 25, 2003, 08:30:01 PM

Great work Jeff,...It is great to have direct contact with the administrator of the site, gets us what we want......you da man!!

Cant wait until you build us a virtual sawmill!! :D :D That would be awesome........a sawmill simulator.....

I better not push my luck!! :

Jeff · May 25, 2003, 08:35:58 PM

Thanks. I aim to please.

Is this sorta like a virtual sawmill? It has a log with a head that moves back and forth...

https://forestryforum.com/jon/

Danny_S · May 25, 2003, 08:45:13 PM

:D :D :D Yessaaa! Good working mill, the head is a bit shakey on it though,...and the lube doesnt hit the blade much,... ;D I found I got a low % recovery rate!!

biziedizie · May 25, 2003, 08:49:31 PM

Paul_H if we're not in Kansas anymore then where are we??? Will we ever get back home???

Anyways I will try this again and see what happens. If it doesn't work and you hear a thumping noise that's just me banging my head against the wall. :D

Steve

biziedizie · May 25, 2003, 08:53:10 PM

Jeff now it's saying "Fields noted with a * must be completed" Well I did them all and it's still not working.???
I think I liked it better in Kansas. :D

Steve

sawwood · May 25, 2003, 08:57:46 PM

Jeff when i tried to go back to Rons profile to up date it the
password does not work. it tells me to enable my cookies.

I checked and cookies are enabled. Whats up ?

Sawwood

Jeff · May 25, 2003, 09:01:25 PM

Is this Ron's custom sawmill your talking about? Send me an email with what you think is the username and password to jeff@forestryforum.com

biziedizie · May 25, 2003, 09:04:04 PM

Jeff I don't know what happened but everything seems to be ok now.

One question though does the underscore in between British and Columbia effect the way it looks on the page, it seems like the Columbia part goes behind the picture.
Thanks!

Steve

Jeff · May 25, 2003, 09:15:10 PM

QuoteJeff I don't know what happened but everything seems to be ok now. One question though does the underscore in between British and Columbia effect the way it looks on the page, it seems like the Columbia part goes behind the picture.

Steve

Nope, its got nothing to do with it.

Sawwood,

The problem was you used a user name that began Ron"s

that quote screwed it up. Not allowable character. I had to delete the record all together. Make a new one.

sawwood · May 25, 2003, 09:19:33 PM

Ok Jeff will go back in and reinter it.

Sawwood

Jeff · May 25, 2003, 09:24:13 PM

biziedizie, you must be using quite a small monitor.

sawwood · May 25, 2003, 09:29:04 PM

All set up Jeff and the map works. Thanks a lot.

Sawwood

biziedizie · May 25, 2003, 09:38:21 PM

You got that right Jeff, have a 15" monitor as the 19 won't fit under the shelves of this wonderful desk unit that I bought in a hurry. Think I might take the chainsaw to it soon and build me a nice desk.

BTW I think the Find-a-Mill thing is very cool!

Steve

DanG · May 25, 2003, 09:55:52 PM

HOT DIGGETY DAWG, Jeff! This is just too cool. 8) 8)

Thanks for all you do for us.

Frank_Pender · May 25, 2003, 10:03:34 PM

"Yeow, Wow!", as Sam the Firefly use to say. I did it. 8) It only took me from 6 to 9 tonight to get it figured out. :-/ But, I did it! Thank you Jeff. As my wife would say, "You done good!" ;D

Danny_S · May 25, 2003, 10:12:36 PM

I just wish I had my mill up and running and a small business started at it so I could post it on the Find-a-Mill Thingy.. :( I hopefully will by mid summer , that is if I stay out of the beer fridge on those hot days...

:D

biziedizie · May 25, 2003, 11:02:44 PM

Hey Buck keep at it and that mill will be running very soon ;) Stay out of the beer fridge cause you won't get any work done if you hang around that. Better yet send me the beer fridge as I don't have one. :D

Steve

Oregon_Sawyer · May 26, 2003, 12:38:21 AM

I'm in. I think

As soon as I get a web site with pictures up will I be able to put a link in?

Thanks

Jeff · May 26, 2003, 05:24:46 AM

That is one thing I forgot! I will do that, add the option for a website address. Today I gotta help mamma with her yard sale so the web thing will come a little later.

EZ · May 26, 2003, 10:59:11 AM

Hey Jeff, it's me the Da. Every time I try to enter in, it says that I have the incorrect pass-word. :(
And also it says some thing about cookies.
EZ

Jeff · May 26, 2003, 12:40:24 PM

EZ did yopu already add a listing? What was the company name so I can look it up to find the problem.

EZ · May 26, 2003, 07:58:09 PM

Jeff B, the company name was just custom sawing. maybe we should wait a little while cause I'm having a little trouble with this new venders license.
