    Huh. Strange. I can ask the software support team if they know of anything that could cause that issue. It shouldn't do much of anything other than show up some tiny pictures. Can you try it on Firefox or Chrome to see if it behaves differently? Anybody else having trouble with Emojis?
  2. Travis
    I'm not sure what you mean. Does it just spin and never load? Or is it doing something else? Which web browser are you using?
  3. Travis
    Well, that's embarrassing. Scroll all the way to the bottom and you'll see our normal set. I think at the top of the list is your most frequently used emoticons and emojis.

    The trophies are still causing some trouble in a couple of areas. I don't think it breaks the website like last time. But if it does, you can email me at travis[at]scrollsawvillage.com. I'm keeping the Trophies application running because I have a support ticket out and they'll need to see it in action. Thanks for your patience!

    Howdy All. The site was down for a bit while I updated some databases. But the first new feature....Emoji support! Emojis are basically like Emoticons. You find them a lot of phones and whatnot. They're pretty universal. So now, you have a lot more options built in to SSV! Just click the Smile face above and you'll get a whole list of them. Have fun!

    I finished the software upgrade. I still need to change a few things. Let me know if something isn't working correctly and I'll take a closer look

    Nope. They're still around. The trophies under your avatar on the forums was causing some issues yesterday, so I turned off the display. But they're still available on your profile. I'm updating some software this week. I'm hoping the update will fix my issues and I"ll turn on the display again.

    Howdy All. There was some wonkiness on the forums today. There was some trouble with one of the databases. I think I have it sorted out, now. Sorry for the troubles. :/ While we're on the subject, I'll be updating SSV software sometime this week (I'm hoping Monday, but we'll see). So the site may be unavailable for a short time while the software updates. It shouldn't take long. It's a full version upgrade, so there's going to be some new features. I'll announce them as they roll out. My first priority is to make sure everything is working correctly. Thanks all for your patience!

    Go to Lowes or Home Depot and look for select pine stair treads. I think those are 1" thick. I used one for a cabinet top just recently and worked pretty well. See if that works for you.

    May is a month for Mom, because she deserves more than just a day. This month's challenge is to make something for Mom. This can be for your mom, wife, or special lady in your life. If none of these apply, how about some May flowers? Post your project below. It'll be fun to see what you come up with.

    Took me awhile, but here is my shop tour.

    More information about "Peeps & Carrots"
    These Easter Bunny Peeps and Carrots are a perfect addition to an Easter Basket or centerpiece. This is a quick and easy project you can knock out in a couple of hours. Enjoy the video! Step 1 I printed out the pattern. Then I cut out the pattern to rough size. I attached it to some 3/4" poplar with some spray adhesive. Step 2 I didn't use a pattern for the carrots. I wanted them to be a little un-uniform. So I roughly drew out each shape onto a 6" board. Don't worry if you can't draw, carrots are basically long triangles. The carrot shape doesn’t have to be perfect. Step 3 I used a #5 scroll reverse blade on the scroll saw to cut out my shapes. Step 4 I sanded with 120 grit to remove the fuzzies and soften the edges. Step 5 Then, with a rotary tool, I add some simple details to the carrots. Just little gouges in the side to indicate the ridges of the carrots. Again, no need to be perfect. Step 6 I used a sanding mop (also called a star sander) on my drill press to soften the edges. Step 7 Paint the bunnies and carrots with bright colored craft paints. These are just cheap paints you can find at a craft store for a dollar or two. Dip the back-end of your paintbrush into black paint and just dab a dot in for the eyes and nose. If you want to order a nice kit, check this one out. Step 8 Cut craft store felt for the carrot leaves. I didn't use a pattern. Just long triangles to make them look like leaves of the carrot. I used two different colors of felt for a bit of variety. Step 9 Tack the felt to the end of the carrots with a brass nail. The brass really makes it sparkle. Final Project

    Howdy all. I love running SSV and am happy to provide a place for folks to talk shop. But, SSV is a big place with lots of posts and forums and other nooks and crannies, it's hard to keep up with. If you need my attention for whatever reason, please tag me or send me a PM. Otherwise, there is a high likelyhood that I'll miss your post. Tagging is great for mentions, or questions for a person that are relevant to the thread. Naturally, private matters should be done with a private message. If a particular post is problematic, you can always click the "Report Post" in the upper right corner of the post. A moderator will take a look at it. You can tag any member by putting the @ symbol before their name. This will put a notification on their notification bell at the top of the screen. So mine would be @Travis. I hate missing questions directed at me and it goes unanswered. I don't want anybody to think I'm ignoring them. I probably just missed it. I hope this helps. Thanks All!

    @Uncle Ricky (formerly known as Bulldog557), I changed your display name and sent you a PM.

    It is a general understanding that you can make and sell the project made by a pattern available on SSV. But you can't distribute the pattern itself (for sale or for free on other websites/forums). It's a nice courtesy to reach out to the pattern maker and ask if it's OK, though. The ones listed as "For Personal Use Only," usually mean's they don't want any money being made off the design. If it's listed as such, please respect that. But, you can always reach out to the pattern maker and ask.

    You can click the Report button and just tell the moderator that it's a duplicate post. If there is not a whole lot of interaction with it, we can remove it. However, if there's a lot of comments or reactions, we'll usually leave it be.

    It's OK. Those that like them can enjoy them. Those who don't can ignore them. Besides, the trophy dump is over. In order for the trophy/medal system to be put into place, the backlog had to be filled. From here on out, trophies and medals are only given at the time of earning them. So now your notifications aren't filled with a backlog of trophies.

    What a fun thread! I'm loving it! Keep em comin! @MrsN The shop class reminds me very much of the one I was in when I was in Jr High. So much fun! @trackman I used to have that train plaque in my bedroom growing up. Had it for many many years! Boy, that brought back memories.
  19. Travis
    OK. I think I'm done with the trophy dump. I populated all of the earned trophies (things like when you hit a certain number of posts, etc). So you won't see a flood of trophies in your Notifications. You'll only get them when you earn them naturally. Thanks everybody for your patience.
  20. Travis
    OK. I'm gunna populate some trophies. Stand back!

    Either YouTube or Facebook video. For YouTube, you can keep it "Unlisted" and it won't show up for people unless they have the link. For FB, I think you have to have permissions to show the video publicly. I think there's a button next to the date of your post where you can change who can see it. Choose Public before posting the link here. It will only change the privacy for that one post. I thin you might be able to share it on SSV's FB page and maybe link it here. Not sure, though. I haven't tried it. We also support Vimeo.

    Howdy All. The calendar tells me it's spring, but the weather doesn't seem to agree. Regardless, it's time to get into the shop! I know I love seeing shop pics. I don't know what it is about them. I just love seeing how other people work. So, this month's challenge is to share pictures of your shop...mess and all. Share a pic of your workshop. Multiple pics are encouraged. Or, if you're so inclined, h'bout a shop tour video!? It doesn't have to be fancy. When you post, tell us a little something about it. What you like or don't like about the shop? What improvements would you like to make? What kind of work do you typically do? Any unique setups that make your work easier? I think this will be a fun challenge. I can't wait to peek inside your world. Have Fun!

    Travis posted a topic in Coffee House

    Howdy All. Coffee House is a great place for off-topic chat and some jokes, etc. Just a reminder to keep things PG when posting jokes or stories.\ Thanks all!

    On SSV, there is an autosave, but I wouldn't depend on it. But if you click into a new message, at the bottom of the compose screen it will ask if you want to restore your previous content.
  25. Travis
    Sorry. I didn't mean to pat you on the back so hard.
