Is anyone having trouble with images on the forum? My signature isn't working. Well the image does work until after a minute after updating it. Then it has the "little red 'x' in the corner" image. Grrrr! I just can't get it to work!

I'm having troubles also with my avator in another forum. A message comes up each time I try to fix it saying "We could not verify that you submitted the modify profile form from the correct location. Your browser may be having troubles storing cookie information properly. Please try again."

How does everyone else do it?

i have the same problem is screwed up... sorry that i cant help u but i lwant to no now to...

for my signature i upload it to photobucket and then use the img code it gives me

er im not sure why yours isnt working

i use Freewebs. It's worked in the past. Might give Bucket a try.

if it works tell me how u did it please...

freewebs isnt a good idea....i tried using it...it only lets y our pictures show up in certain times of the day....really stupid

Drumma - your problem is that your pic is a .png file. Convert it to a .jpg, then upload it again and it should work.

I'm not sure what's happening in your other forum though .

Edit: Yay it's working . I guess it wasn't the png thing then

i've just started Photo Bucket. Seems to be okay. The other forum avator is now working too! V. strange. I havent changed it from png to jpg yet, but will do that if it ends up not working after a while...

Thanks guys!

(aww! that panda is so adorable! could watch it all day...teehee!)

I have a problem!

My computer refuses to save anything other than .bmp.

Just in paint or with every program?

And I'm not sure how good you are with computers so... are you sure you're clicking the tab down and clicking on the image file you wanna save?

Also, can you import files other than .bmp?

Edit: Also, don't use freewebs or satan will eat you.



Use this for Hosting Images
Use this for hosting Files
Or this for Files

Note-Photobucket is a nice image host but imageshack is much better...So yeah, photobucket users need to move to imageshack. Satan won't eat you though cuz p-bucket is still nice, but he WILL tear off your foot if you don't.

With everything even if I save it from here. I'm terrible with compoopers but I know how to save pictures and things like that. xD

Uhm, okay that's kinda weird... What's your Operating System (Like Windows 98, XP, Linux)

Maybe you should stop kicking it then, my dear.
Give it a hug every now and then.
It'll pay off.

i dont like how completely off topic is now at the end of the off topic section
it confuses me
because im so used to clicking the first one
and i dont want to play games









oh well. i pretty much just stalk this place now anyway and dont post

XP

Uhhh.... I'm not sure... I'll try to look into this cuz I have no idea


EDIT:

Nevermind Posted all this in below post...

houston*.

Okay, try some of these. One of these are bound to work.

----------------------------

"Sometimes you go to save an image from a web page and the only option available to you is BMP, even though the image is obviously not a BMP. People often wonder why, so I will tell you.

For whatever reason (perf, architectural simplicity, I dunno) the designers of mshtml decided to keep images around in memory as BMPs. When you go to save an image in IE, the first thing we do is check to see if the image is in the cache. If the image is not in the cache, the only representation we have of the image (without downloading it again) is mshtml's internal representation, which is a BMP. Mostly people see this when their cache is full. The easiest way to fix this is to clear your cache. Another symptom of this is nothing happens when you View->Source on a web page"

^^As stated before

---------------------------

Good Old Microsoft may have your back! No way!

--------------------------

Start > Control Panel > Folder Options...Click New...Click Advanced...In the File Extension Box type JPEG and in the Associated File box typs JPEG Image. You can repeat this for each type of file you need ie: GIF/Gif Image...JPG/JPG Image...and so on.

-------------------------

*Crosses Fingers*

i wanted to know how i could shrink a picture???

please? is there anyone here?

do you have paint? if so...

1. open the picture in paint (or copy and paste it from the web into paint)
2. click somewhere off the picture so it's no longer inside dotted lines
3. click on 'images' in the top menu
4. choose 'stretch/skew'
5. in the box that pops up, you can tell it the percentage you want it enlarged or reduced (hint: if you don't like what happens, click 'edit' then 'undo' and choose another percentage to shrink/enlarge til you're happy)
6. save image as a .jpeg or .gif (paint will default to .bmp but those are HUGE and you don't want that)

also...if you have a photobucket account, you can reduce pictures in it too.

good luck!

It works thanks to you!! merci merci!!

(my mother says:" stop with this computer, you're addicted " , but i learn more an dmore each day!!! )

-cries profusely-

None of that worked!


It's because I don't have a 'Folder Options' section for some reason. Or maybe I'm just blind... -checks again-





Uh no I don't have one.

Photobucket isnt working today, but it seems to working for everyone else. I can't even get on the Photobucket site and all the pictures on this forum hosted by Photobucket are little boxes with x's in them.

I'm posting my technical difficulties here.
The board is extrrrrreeeeemely slow right now. Is anyone else having that problem?

I'm having the same problem! I just thought it was my computer being slow (it sometimes chucks tantrums and slows everything down ), but I'm kinda glad that it's not just me . I'm sure it'll speed up again soon... hopefully .

Ok good, it's not just me then.
But maybe it's just us two?

Well whatever it is, it sure is S-L-OOOOOOOOOO-W~

Okay, it woke up! It's alive now!
I wonder what that was all about? eh!

Can the forum ever run out of space?

Yeah, especially with the ship load of pictures we always post...

I know with DTI the forum can start slowing down if we don't prune it.

This forum has slowed down before and even stopped working before - I think it did that for 3 days earlier this year - but it always comes back working and nothing is deleted. So I don't know if the slowing down really had much to do with running out of space since it's sped up again. It was probably to do with the IPB server or something - I know last time this forum was down all other IPB boards were down too. I don't think this place has a limit . Well... hopefully it doesn't .

yeah, it probably is just the server. This happens to lots of sites... always really annoying . When I was applying for a student visa for Australia, I put in my credit card info to pay the $400 (I know, what the hell is that?) and when I hit submit, it just kept trying but didn't go anywhere. I left it for like half an hour and it still hadn't done anything Yeah. Annoying.

you're right about that because i checked and it was an 'across the board' problem.

it's funny how nervous and jittery we get when it's down! or not.

put it into paint, or sumthin lk that, resize it, and go to imageshack.us and host the img there.

there ya go

I have a problem !

I changed address e-mail... I thus made the change on the forum. But since, I receive an e-mail each time somebody posts something in the forum... it is very irritating! what occurs?

that can be fixed.

go to 'my controls' and then on the left hand side under 'options' choose 'email settings.' right now, you must have a check in the box that says to alert you whenever people post - egads!!

take the check OUT of that box - i only have a check in the box about receiving email if i get a PM, the other two are unchecked. make sense? then click 'amend my email settings.'

good luck and let me know if it works!!

Ok ! I'm here....
Click to view attachment

Sorry i'm a little lost ! It's more difficult in english !

^ that's right, aurelie. you shouldn't be getting any emails, unless i'm missing some other feature.

is it still a problem after you clicked 'amend my email settings?'

I have the same problem. It's been going since I came to the forum. I didn't want to bother anybody, though... I have something like 5k emails.

Edit

the multitude of emails is just a glitch in the board
people have been having problems with it ever since we switched over this one

you just have to use filters on your email account to send the emails to the trash or to a bulk mail folder or something like that

Yes !


5k emails !

Oh god !
Poor Big Red Car ! (sorry I forgot your name)

Ok my dear !
Thank you !

Haha, that's okay. We've never talked.

Edit

are they even working on the downloads page here for you?

if not, i'd recommend pm-ing fee since she made the best ones of the lot and could help.

I had to shrink of of Fee's a bit because it was too large for AIM to use.
