Automatic Image Caching

If you use the IMG tags to point to an image not-local to PDB then the script will automatically make a copy of the image on the pachislodb server.
In past if an image is removed from the external server it would break the post in the forums as well.

Sub Forums

The other day Gman asked if I could divide the pinball section into EM & Solid State. I didn't want just add new forums and clog up the main index so I investigated the possibilities of adding some sort of sub forums. Well, after screwing up the board a few times (you can blame him for it ;)) I ...

It would be cool to have for under $5 shipped. It is nice to have it so that you when you play you might say...hey now I know what that mean based on the machine action.

I remember playing that one when it came out. I wasn't terribly impressed with it. It was at this huge arcade in Framingham Mass called "Fun and Games" during the whole Pacmania craze. I hated playing pinball there as they had too many flashing lights that would reflect on the playfield gl...

Avatars

I am noticing that many people do not have avatars. Do I need to increase the size of the avatars allowed to be uploads? If so, what size do I need to go to? I don't want them too big, but what seems to be a common size?

I think if they want to get rid of all gambling then they have to get rid of the tools of biggest gambling craze of all. They need to burn all of the playing cards. I don't care if you can't play bridge anymore, they are a gambling device and we must purge society of this evil.

I remember when I was growing up and going on one of those Family "Pack up the car and go" vacations to the 1982 world fair (in Tennessee) we stopped at a motel for the night and there was a bowling alley next door. I snook away for a minute and they had a pinball machine. It had a sign on...

I think I just found the issue with the "undefined" showing up. Those who have see in give the fix a try and let me know how it goes. It only seemed to happen with IE7 which is why I was having problems reproducing it.

Thanks!

Just made a slight change to sort the Parlor List with the most recently added/modified parlors showing first. What do you think?

That is exactly what I am going to add. I am not sure how I am going to handle this. I may just use the forum like I do for reviews or create a blog type mechanism. If I do use the forum I will probably make it automatically send an email "Someone has added a comment to your parlor" like i...

Thanks for your compliments. I coded it myself. It took about 1 week or so to get it all working. I used it as an excuse to teach myself how ajax works.

I am still trying to figure out the issue with 'undefined' showing in the parlors. I can not reproduce the issue. I am pretty sure it has something to do with Internet Explorer. If any one has a way to consistently reproduce the issue let me know. Also, The version of Internet Explorer would also be...

The images will auto-resize if needed. I forgot to add that.

Anyways, I have added a new feature to virtual parlors. The ability to upload a BG image and the ability to set the font colors of your parlor.

Enjoy and Parlor On!

I have added the ability to add a custom machine to the Virtual Parlors. I have also added the ability to upload custom images. The images must be 160X260 or they will be automatically scaled. The machine will show as "Custom". I suggest using the comments area to describe your machine. If...
