At one time, there were a lot of good changes to PBase but things seem to have come to a grinding halt. While I have no interest at all in the print function (I use two other services for that), I cannot believe that Phase 2 is still not available. No new stylesheets for at least the past six years .. the list goes on

Am I understanding this correctly? The phase ll part is not a priority and does not appear to be happening anytime soon? How is it that the other sites have found a way to make the printing and sales thing work with multiple color spaces and different browsers and ship to all over the world? It is really sad to think Pbase members may be being misled by false hopes and or promises of administration. It has been way too long for the members to have to wait for these major upgrades that don't seem to be materializing. I have not seen the overhaul of the forums you spoke of recently nooutlet. An apropriate name by the way, it seems like members have no outlet when it comes to getting things taken care of by Pbase. I ASK YOU HERE AND NOW...... When will the members of Pbase see some of the results of all the administrations efforts. How about an exact date and not empty promises. WHEN???????????? No more false hope or lies.

Currently, something I added to the printing page isn't working in IE6. Not a common browser, but it's a really noticeable problem(images are BEHIND the background div).
Also, there may be an issue with sending them images that aren't in a certain color profile.
But one thing that's difficult about working on the printing page is that we(that is another programmer and I) have started working on other things. I'm working on new forums(which by the way are a bit of a hassle because a lot of people have separate forum accounts with the same username).

It's a worry that there was an outage that even the admins didn't know about, which suggests that maybe the site hosts aren't being as forthcoming to the site owners as they might be

Huh... I didn't even know that was possible.
Utility of printing images through PBase?
Style sheets and custom profile page
Timelines, deadlines and time tables, oh my!

I'm a programmer for PBase. My main concern is actually my own version of the site on my development server. It would seem likely that Slug knows about the downtime and that he was the one to fix it. Furthermore, the times you specified(if your math was correct) were between 3AM and 7AM our time. I would have been sleeping through the downtime. Lastly, I've actually been sick lately and haven't spoken to Slug since Friday.

Having a private high-quality photo that will be used for printing is part of the plan, I believe. Right now, it's about printing your own images to test the interest in general.

We've discussed allowing users to make stylesheets available to others which would be a nice alternative to the present situation. As for the profile page, they'll be getting an overhaul with the new header. Now, one thing Slug is very sensitive to is that people resent change in certain things, so we're going to try to update the profile page in the smoothest way possible.

These are just scary. It's so difficult to predict what problems will come up and how long those problems will take to resolve. Even vague guesstimations can be way off and then you guys quote us and complain.
