Problem

Postby Jpegg » Sun Aug 24, 2003 6:58 pm

Hmm, I'm having a problem attaching an avatar and the signature from my profile. Ive inputted the file path in the browser for the avatar and my signature is entered also but when I update the profile, the avatar path vanishes and my signature, although still there, isnt being shown on any of my posts.

Can someone please advise?

I am assuming you have activated HTML, etc in your profile?

ack, nope, was simply due to the avatar being 13.5 k, not less than 6 k.

Seems these forums are the only ones not to allow this avatar on them though.

I'm a noob though when it comes to all this so i might well be talking complete and utter gibberish. Is there any way I can have the avatar I globally use on other forums for this forum also?

Try again Jpegg. I've set it to accept up to 25Kb.
I never heard of that being aproblem before. Please try to keep your images as small as possible for the fastest possible load time of the pages.

Nope, the file size wasnt the problem. The browser option wont accept my image, only way was to copy paste the URL. Strange but it worked in the end (at least I hope you can see the avatar).

I cant however get it to accept any signature there at all, my profile has a sig which has no reference to a URL, it only consists of text and it isnt showing below. Is there something I'm not doing right?

Your sig must exist, Peg, because I just activated it on your previous post. Are you completely certain you have "Attach signature" ticked when you are posting?

Is it this url to the pic? http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid65/p253873b8b4436b8ad4cc35be628ac5d1/fbeea610.jpg

That link does not point to a picture.

It points to a picture for me

Hmm, I'm viewing the Avatar now on both my home PC and at work with that URL in. Same URL I use for Endgame, WE, Excal forums too. I can see it.

I see the avatar when I click the URL also but looks like noone else can.

The browser option doesnt work so I cant do it that way so I'm lost. I'll leave it and make do without for RKFF forums. Strange thing is, I'd have thought my sig would be showing though but that's not either. It is on attach signature, its ticked, everything Ive done is correct on my profile and these are the defaults anyway.

Thanks for trying tho guys, its a mystery.

It didn't work this morning, but now it works.. It might have been a glitch in the communication to the server where the pic is.

Works now atleast :p

grr, scratch that, im not exactly true there, i hve entered email addy but not getting replies despite box being checked... apologies :(((

So everything is checked apart from always show email addy and hide online status.

I can live without Signature but I'm a pain and really need to have the notification on my guilds forums. I use forums a hell of a lot and need to know whats goin on at a glance. Can someone help me?

I checked your profile and can't see anything wrong there. It's set to allways show your sig. When you post there is a box where you can choose to NOT show your sig for that post, but I guess you allready seen that right?

I could allways delete your profile and you can make a new one if you want. It should work as is tho.

If its not too much trouble, could you delete it and ill create another.

I'm just worried I'll lose track of posts if I'm not notified. Sounds silly but soon will come the time when I start gettin to know peeps and Jpegg starts power posting :P

Thanks matey, I appreciate it and owe you one :)
