RE: ADDING SIGNATURE AND AVATARS

[piratevoyager]

HI ALL:

AM NOT SURE WHAT I AM DOING.

I WENT TO USER CONTROL PANEL AND COULD NOT FIND ANYWHERE TO PUT PERMANENT SIGNATURE AND/OR AVATAR.
I NOTICED WHEN I WENT TO POST THIS TOPIC IT SAID "SAVE" SO I TRIED ADDING A SIGNATURE.

DO I NEED TO DO THIS EVERY TIME I POST?
WHERE DOES IT STIPULATE RE: AVATAR URLS?
THANK YOU



Te Namaste,Scarlet

Scarlet:

Go to your 'User Control Panel', select 'Profile', then click on 'Edit signature'. Add the signature and any image you want, hit 'Save' - or 'Preview' if you want to check it out first - and you're done. And no... if you save what you've created you won't have to do it every time you post.


One thing though, don't you think that image might be just a tad large?

WENT TO PROFILE
OPTION TO ADD AVATAR WAS NOT THERE YESTERDAY IT IS TODAY

SOOOOOO.... I CLICKED IT ON,,THE BOX WHERE IT SAYS"
UPLOAD FROM MACHINE" I PUT IN A URL
90X90 2.6KBS
AND IT WOULD NOT TAKE

PLUS I DON'T SEE ANY ON THE BOARD EITHER

????

I SAW WHERE IT SAYS "CHANGE FONT SIZE"
I HAVE A SEEING PROBLEM FROM HEALTH
SO I WANTED MY FONT LARGER
WHEN I CLICKED IT ON, IT DID NOTHING

BTW,,I AM ON "THE DINOSAUR"= WEBTV
WOULD THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

I shouldn't think so, but maybe(?)...

Really? Maybe you previously overlooked it? My avatar has been up for quite some time now, so I'm pretty sure the button was always there.

Now there's something that could be webbie-related. Maybe the largest font available on the forum board is already the size of the standard WebTV font.

HI, SCARLET! THE "CHANGE FONT" LINK DOESN'T WORK ON THE WEBBIE. WHEN I COME TO THIS FORUM USING THE WEBBIE, I USE SKWEEZER SINCE THE TEXT IS SO TINY.

http://www.skweezer.com/s.aspx/-/forum~domania~net/

YOU HAVE TO SIGN IN EVERY TIME (IF YOU WANT TO POST OR ACCESS THE CONTROL PANEL), BUT IT MAKES THE FORUM A LOT EASIER TO READ.

IN CASE YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH SKWEEZER, IT MAKES A LOT OF SITES EASIER TO ACCESS, AND OFTEN TO READ.

HTH!

Just testing to see if I add a sig

I TRIED ACCESSING SWEEZER AND COULD NOT. IT WAS SUCH A LONG TIME AGO THAT I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT I WAS TRYING TO DO BUT I DO REMEMBER I COULD NOT ACCESS WITH WEBTV.

SANDY, ALL:

RE: AVATARS
IT HAS A FILE BOX THAT SAYS "UPLOAD FROM MACHINE"
WHEN I PUT IN URL FROM MY ACCOUNT NOTHING HAPPENS

AND

USUALLY ON FORUM BOARDS THERE IS A LEFT HAND SIDE NEXT TO THE THREADS WHERE THE AVATAR GOES AND OTHER INFORMATION
ON MY FORUM BOARD, THERE IS NO LEFT HAND SIDE

I ONLY HAVE THE PART WHERE THE THREADS AND POSTS ARE, NO PLACE FOR AN AVATAR.

???????
I AM CONFUSED. WHEN IT USED TO BE ZBOX IT HAD ALL OF THAT WORKING FOR ME BUT IT HAS BEEN CHANGED.

WHERE IS YOUR AVATAR EVEN LOCATED???

That's true Scarlet, you can't upload from an LBB, cuz it doesn't have a hard drive. Maybe the forum coding has a way for the owner to add a space for a web url, although... if you can't even see where the avatars on your screen, that might be a wasted effort for Steve.

Of course this place didn't used to be ZboX, all fora aren't the same, and this one is very different from the one Bert used at ZboX. The portions of the page you say you can't see are on the right hand side of the screen here beside the text boxes. I guess the Simple Machines forum Bert used is more webbie friendly than the phpBB used here - or, Bert didn't do updates as a concession to webTV users. That's the real problem Scarlet, computers - especially refurbished ones - are cheap now, and that means webTV's time is up, or at least it is outside the borders of MSN Land.
