Thanks fellas. There are a few other themes you can check out in your user control panel as well. Play around with them and see if you like any of the others. Also, looking forward to seeing some of the other features utilized soon by you all.

To check out the other themes...

- Click User Control Panel (upper right side)
- Edit Profile (towards the top in the control panel)

take care,

I am having a few (hopefully) preliminary problems with the restrictions on image file size (see Oud Projects Forum). Thumbnail images certainly will help in faster downloads but if you cannot see the image details clearly there does not seem to be much point in posting an image?
Grossly oversize image files that are posted continue to present a problem but thumbnails are as well.
Still on a learning curve here!

Mike - 5-20-2009 at 02:10 PM

First off...thanks again to all of you for your kind words. Much appreciated!

JD...I checked out your posting and it looked fine. Hover your mouse over the thumbnail and you will notice the arrow changes to a hand signifying a link to the larger picture. Once you click on the link to the larger picture all the details of the image show, and your picture sizes are perfect by the way. Not too large and yet they show all the details of your amazing work. There is one quirk that I'm sure they will fix soon. I found that if you try to add another attachment after you've chosen say 2 attachments, your previous links to the attachments you've already made are lost. So you have to choose your attachments all over. Kind of annoying, but I'll be on the lookout for a fix for that from the folks at xmb.

For personal reasons, I wasn't able to be active in the oud community but I'm genuinely grateful to connect with many people who share the love of this precious instrument. What a great website this is and I'm so proud to be a member. So I guess I'm just in time to enjoy the new enhancements. Thanks Mike

Thanks Mike for creating a commonplace where all "Oud Admirers, Lovers, Addicts, Maniacs, and Junkies" can talk about their interest in the great instrument. Not only have you been able to continue the flame of the Oud, but your site has also been an eye opener for me. People from all religions and cultures have come together to talk about something that they are passionate about, and everyone seems to be open to this. I have not come across one comment that distinguishes some from others, and in today's world, this really impresses me. Kudos Mike!
Thanks,
Michael:buttrock:
