Title: 100% User Control!
Post by: landbeforetimelover on May 18, 2009, 02:52:04 PM

I'm happy to announce that after so much time I FINALLY have given members of my server 100% control over their server space.  They can upload their own files, create new folders, delete those files and folders, and rename files and folders with NO NEED FOR ASSISTANCE from the administrator!  Your server space is YOURS.  Want to check it out?  Try adding folders, uploading files, changing filenames, and doing other tasks in the user tools area.  Please log in to the test area:

log in (http://lbtserver.2myip.net/TestArea/)

Username:  guest

Password:  guest

I am still offering free accounts to members of GOF.  From now on, only members will be allowed to upload files.  The Universal Upload Folder will not longer exist due to security reasons with these new features.  And also, your files are now protected against prying eyes with your own password.  This not only protects your accounts from unauthorized uploading and folder creation, but also protects it from others being able to see your files!  This is optional however and if you want people to be able to browse the files you upload, I can make that option available.

This is what the Member Tools looks like:

I'm going to continue to play around with this to see if I can make it a little better looking and more convenient to use.  And rest assured, as good as the server is now it's only going to get better.  I have TONS of computer illiterate people (mostly my clients) using my server and they've got to have it super simple. :rolleyes:

Well I thought it would take a lot longer to program than it actually did so I decided not to tell y'all and get all your hopes up, but now you can change your own passwords!  Once I create an account for you, you can change the password without any assistance from the administrator!  This is a great new feature.

There's more to come so stick around. :D

I have made new more attractive member tools in the sidebar.  Here is the location of all the new member tools:
