Any idea about videos?
I have gig's and gig's of Saab videos and it would be great to have a site like this be able to host them.
Also, if I can ever get around to it, I have (probably) 100 or so old Saab ads that I bought off eBay.

A great place to host video's these days is on Amazon's S3 storage system.
15 cents per gigabyte per month in storage
15 cents per gigabyte per month in bandwidth
http://aws.amazon.com/s3/

Wont use any of your webhosting resources.

For playing the video's we use this free flash video plug in
http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/

Just point the source to the video file hosted on Amazon S3 (must make sure to change the video file's permissions on S3 to "public") and you're all set
Just place the code for the player where ever you want the video. It would work great for a website like this.

This is what I've setup for my bosses website where we host some of our video gallery of commercials we've done. Everything loads very fast

Anyone figured out a way to change the time settings form a 24 hour clock, to a 12 hour clock? I know 24 hour time... but hey, I'm used to the other.

I think it's a global setting but I could be wrong.

Is there a way to change the post reply settings so that the "Go Advanced" options are always available on the ribbon ?

I've gotten it so that it comes up when I click "Reply to Thread" but I can't get the full fledged one to appear at the bottom. I went "Settings>General Settings>" then at the bottom there was something where it gave me an option

You're right. I changed it from the 12-hour clock to 24-hour because I thought it would be a bit more global setting. We can change it back if needed. I also changed the date format from month-day-year numbers because this can also be different for other countries. It's now day-month-year. For example: 02 August 2010

Sounds fair enough... I'll just have to keep in mind there are only 12 months in a year, and not 31 or 30

Forget the system-assigned user titles. You can make your own in your profile now. Be creative!

And thanks to SaabKen for coming up with my title.

We need to come up with some fun user titles. I made a pathetic first attempt and changed Junior Member to Junior Saabist.. :p The forum is set up by default with:

Junior Member posts: 0
Member: posts 30
Senior Member posts 100

Pretty boring! So lets think of some new ones. How about post levels of:
0
50
100
500
1000
5000
10000

How about something along the lines of
SE
SPG
Aero
Viggen

or ...
Tunnan
Lansen
Draken
Viggen
Gripen

Looks like our newest member will be very prolific :rolleyes:
When I checked "What's New" the page was full .. great thought I ... until I saw it was full of SaabsUnited news that I had already seen or don't want to see.
I'll have to find a way to Junk RSS Bot ..

EDIT: I added to my "Ignore" list but the messages are still there .. Is there a "Junk" filter?

You know what I'm beginning to feel at home in this place ..
Ken will just have to get the kitchen fitted up, the bar is coming along nicely ... now all we need is ... Where the f... is that

I have also ignored him... hopefully this means that from here on he won't fill up my "New Posts" section. He's good to go look for news/stories when I want, but he clutters the other things.
