well.. title may not explain well.. i was thinking about placing a thumbnail on the side of each category showing the logo of the fan as each member uploads around 80x80 thumbnail for the category he/she is the admin.. it will give a bit more information about the fan showing it's logo something like this (panasonic example) (sorry for poor quality) i've set a poll for choosing which example looks better

thats all fine and dandy and everything, but the same three people post pictures, which I'm glad you all are posting. And i see you all post every week or two, which is good, your all keeping the member galleries active, But I would have thought at least a couple of more members would be posting stuff here and there. I've updated before by request, by putting up the "Literature" category months back and not one person has yet to put anything in there..

by putting up the "Literature" category months back and not one person has yet to put anything in there.. That's because there is a malfunction I was going to tell you about. I tried posting my Key Largo things to it, and it defaulted to like the Emerson fan gallery or something (don't remember which one exactly, but it was a brand), I can't find the option under the drop down menu to post into the literature category, unless it's fixed now. Edit: Just checked, there's still not an option down there to post to the literature section. Lists all the ceiling fan and portable fan brands that you can post to, but not the literature section, and obviously there are no brand categories there yet.

Ah you're correct, I just noticed this. someone should have brought it to my attention.. I usually try everything with my second user as a member, after adding something. I think I added them and had to leave and totally forgot about it... Should work now..
Problem was the categories were not showing up in the upload section.

i just checked out the members gallery, looks better but i suggest company logos (or fan logos) as thumbnail instead of fan pictures
i also suggest that all the thumbnails have the same dimentions
but how do i set the thumbnail for the fan category?

We can do company logos, but I will not be able to get logos of everyone. A few for the most part like Hunter, Casablanca etc.. The Companies with the logos that easily can be found.. On the other hand we can use pictures for the rest.. The width of the pics are all the same, height varies depending on the picture and how the image is taken..
Users are unable to upload category images as far as i know.. I have to modify them going into the software settings..
As far as the Poll is concerned, example one is the only one that can be used.. The image with the note is apart of the forum software that lets people know new posts and images are in the categories..
Cole: You may know by now, but in case you don't, the category issue is fixed, all can be selected now. if you are in a category, and you click the upload option, the category setting should default to the category you are in..
I noticed users adding categories and not using capital letters. Category Titles need to be in caps like this, "King of Fans". Category Descriptions need to have a capital letter with the first letter, and the beginning of each sentence describing company info at least. It's gonna take me hours at least to go and edit the ones that need editing..

Right, I never went back to upload them after you fixed it. I will do it someday when I get some time to do more uploading.
Wow, I haven't even seen the thumbnails before, they look good! Logos would be cool but the fans are okay too.

hmm... i see, if it is not possible to get the logos from the internet, then i guess taking a photo and cropping it out will be a great idea some logos of fans for now: SMC (the flag logo): airmaster relite fans (logo of the 70s) crompton parkinson (never seen this logo used for fans before) crompton greaves TMT logo edit: improved description of categories i am incharge of

I can get you Key Largo at some point, and I used to have a site with a really good copy of Homestead's, but I can't locate it now. Will keep searching, otherwise I have a print out of it I may have to use.
