So it does ask for your password? Try logging out via: ..., then login again. It will then give you an option to resend your password or something.

Copied mine from a right-wing forum me thinks.  Tongue

I think imageshack allows you to resize images to suit avater size.

If you are linking to an image hosted somewhere else the 10kb limit doesn't apply. It doesn't apply to images attached to forum posts either. It only applies for images that are uploaded from your PC for your avatar.

To resize an image, save it on your pc and open it in Micro$oft paint. Save it as jpg or png or soemthing like that. If it still isn't under 10kb (note I increased the limit from 5kb to 10kb), then go to the menu: image -> stretch/skew and enter 50% (or whatever) in both horizontal and vertical under stretch (the top half, not skew in the bottom half). If you get really keen, see if you can get it to 65 x 65 pixels, by shrinking and cropping it. That way it will show up on the forum in exactly the same size as it does in paint.

If you can't figure this out, email me the image and I will set it up for you.

Hoorah! Mantra got it working.  Cheesy

Interesting choice of pic in the end.  Huh

You're not by any chance a pagan, mantra?

No - to both - Freediver and DT.  I thought a witch would be appropriate, as it's been inferred a few times lately that I am  Wink.

Actually I was going to try out a few different symbols - tried that one first and when I went to change it - there was such a hassle, the password stopped working, couldn't get into my profile - so I just gave up.  I'm stuck with it for the time being, until I have the patience to try something else.

When you say the password stops working, do you click modify on your profile and then get a prompt like the one below, where you eneter your password but it doesn't work? Do you get an error message or does it just prompt you again?

I can think of three things to try:

1) Try hitting refresh and entering your password a few times.

2) Log out and log back in again.

3) Delete your cookies. You will have to log back in to every site you are joined up to if you do this.

When I put in my password - it says incorrect password - back. 

But I'll try the refresh first.  I've tried logging in and out - that just sends me on a roundabout of user names and passwords - but if the refresh password doesn't work - I'll give deleting the cookies a go. 

It doesn't matter that much - unless someone has objections to the symbol of a witch - I'll just leave it for a while.

Pics - Don't work...
Reply #27 - Feb 15th, 2007 at 2:54am
 
I tried using the 'insert image' option when making a post, but it didn't work.

What I tried doing was inserting a URL code into the YaBBC tags, but it didn't work. 

What am I doing wrong? Is it even possible to post pics?

Replace the curly brackets with square brackets.

Also, if it was your first post, it may have generated an error because I have banned people from posting links on their first post to cut back on spam. It may have thought of the image as a link.
