It would make the image thumbnails in posts look much better. You should be able to do that by going to Settings, Media and unchecking the box that says "Crop thumbnails to exact dimensions." At least, that's the way it works on my WP ver. 2.8.4. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/collegetimes-now-pr5-on-google-pagerank#post-1125 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:27:57 +0000 Anonymous 1125@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Just a small celebration that CollegeTimes is now PR5 which means Google's respect for our community continues to grow!

And even what most people do before and after going to the site (What site they visit next)</p> <p>Each site is ranking based on these numbers, with the highest site being ranked 1 (google). Its really cool to see how much this site has jumped since the contest began :P</p> <p>Everyone should go check it out and download the toolbar, its very unobtrusive and will help the sites you visit most go up in rank. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/ban-request-sushrukh#post-676 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 05:44:26 +0000 Anonymous 676@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>The guy is obviously just spamming the website in an attempt to increase his chances of winning the contest.</p> <p>Not to mention that his article: <a href="http://collegetimes.us/how-to-become-a-teacher/#comments" rel="nofollow">http://collegetimes.us/how-to-become-a-teacher/#comments</a> is the same as the article found here: <a href="http://www.howtoguides365.com/how-to/become-teacher/" rel="nofollow">http://www.howtoguides365.com/how-to/become-teacher/</a></p> <p>All I did was copy and paste one paragraph in a Google search to come up with that.</p> <p>I can&#39;t prove that he didn&#39;t write the original, but it looks fishy to me. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/forum-statistics#post-822 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 23:25:32 +0000 Anonymous 822@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Hey,<br /> I don&#39;t know if I just missed this earlier, but the forum statistics are really awesome.<br /> Its great to see stuff like the posts per day, etc.</p> <p>Great work.

I have to click LOGIN and re-enter my info, despite clicking &quot;remember me&quot; (which I assume means, contrary to common sense, remember my screenname ONLY when coming to the login page, rather than &quot;keep me logged in and give me no-hassle access to my stuff for this session&quot;).</p> <p>It would be nice if there was a direct link to my profile from the main page, and if I'm logged in it wouldn't ask me to re-enter my info just to take me to my profile.</p> <p>Once in the profile, I click on posts. You'd think it would show me MY posts. But, no, it shows me EVERYONE'S posts. I have to track down my individual posts individually and select the one I want to edit or view (it would be nice if one had the option to click 'edit' on an article one had written directly from the browsed-to article, in addition to going through the My Account page). </p> <p>There's not even a filter to &quot;show only MY posts&quot; (which should probably be the default, by the way). Why do I need to see everyone else's posts in MY account page? Unless I put a watch on them for some reason? When I go to MY Account, it's usually to see MY stuff. If I wanted to view others' stuff I'd just browse or search for it via the usual main page interface.</p> <p>Similar argument for comments. When I click on it in My Account it seems to show EVERYONE'S comments and not just my own or any I've &quot;watched&quot; (not sure there's any functionality for that) or &quot;rated.&quot;</p> <p>One might also ask whether one user should have access to another user's avatar(s)... IE, my avatar is a picture of ME. Should someone else be able to use a picture of ME as THEIR AVATAR? That seems a bit bothersome. Don't know if there's a good way to privatize such thing? Perhaps some check box would work (&quot;This avatar is public; OTHERS CAN USE THIS AVATAR&quot; &amp; &quot;This avatar is private; ONLY YOU CAN USE THIS AVATAR&quot;)?</p> <p>So, yeah, a few interface improvements could probably be made.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> ~Michael </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/rejected-articles#post-599 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 00:22:03 +0000 Anonymous 599@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Hii,</p> <p>I don&#39;t know why so many were rejected, I want to rewrite them, but I can&#39;t see what&#39;s wrong about them.

It&#39;s showed on the left, sometimes even in the written text. Sometimes it isn&#39;t displaced. Maybe it has something to do with 2 posts in the same thread, I don&#39;t know.<br /> Maybe this was coincidence, maybe not?</p> <p>I&#39;ve seen other members posts and they&#39;ve the same problem. Is there a way to solve this? I&#39;m running Firefox 3.0.5 If other info is required, ask me!</p> <p>EDIT: It shows my signature just after my &quot;Hii&quot;, do you see the same?</p> <p>EDIT2: It also seems if you post a list, p.e. into this topic: <a href="http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/where-do-ya-go-to-school" rel="nofollow">http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/where-do-ya-go-to-school</a> (second post) - Text is displaced next to the list, not under it. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/posting-issue#post-158 Sun, 23 Aug 2009 05:21:44 +0000 Anonymous 158@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Hey,<br /> I was trying to respond over in the thread titled &quot;email system?&quot; and when I click post i get this message &quot;Page not found!</p> <p>I&#39;m sorry, but there is nothing at this URL.&quot;</p> <p>It also happens when I try to edit a message in that thread.</p> <p>Just thought I&#39;d let ya know. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/posting-articles#post-102 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 21:01:47 +0000 Anonymous 102@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>I can&#39;t seem to be able to post articles for review.
