Hi all, newbie on here, just looking through this thread and I was thinking of Kit, if she see's all this she's going get worried big time, it really isn't much harder on here in fact I like it big time, more smilies and Christmas ones as well, yes I know I'm sad

Rain

[Flumps]

Hello!

It's really not that hard once you get the hang of it, but until you do there'd plenty of people around to help you

I vaguely recognise you from the beeb, but I think I was getting pee'd off with it just as you arrived so our paths never crossed much. Anyway, welcome to the shed, hope you like it here

[rainjustlearning]

Hi Flumpet, thanks for the welcome, I love it over here, it's so much nicer and seems so much friendlier, I shall definitely spend more time here.

Rain

[janerowena]

And don't worry about kit, she is already getting about quite a bit!

[Flumps]

Hmmm... Look at Rain's avatar... I think we have acquired another mad cat lady cat lover! ;D

She'll be right at home here then ;D

[janerowena]

It's uncommonly like aspi's!

[abbotsmillmo]

Can you help JRO,? when I look up .. view all smilies,.. half of them are missing. My laptop is playing up this afternoon is that why?.?

[janerowena]

They aren't working properly, Mo. I have asked piggin to see what is the matter when she gets back, they are all based in her photobucket, so I can't get at them.

[abbotsmillmo]

Thanks, I thought maybe I had done something stupid again.

[janerowena]

No, the board isn't perfect, things do go wrong occasionally!

[Golarne]

Having been scared out of the LT's room, I'd better go and do some jobs. But in the meantime, please can someone tell me how to add a picture to my signature? I can see the signature box on 'modify profile' and could add text, but it made no sense without the pic, so I deleted it. I just seemed to have added a link to photobucket, not the photo itself.
Thank you! Gx

[janerowena]

You have to write in the box where it says 'personal text'.

You have to add the image link for the signature Golarne, it does get a bit confusing about which link to use for which bit. Avatars use the direct link - I never understand why it's different

[Golarne]

Thank you. It worked, but now how do I make the picture smaller?!

You'll have to edit it in Photobucket Golarne, you can do all sort on there now it's much better than it used to be. If it still isn't how you want it, if you PM it to me and let me know how you want it I can try it on my photoshop thingy,

Lxx

[Golarne]

Thank you Lottie, I'll have a play with it now that I know that I need to do it before putting it on here.

[Fiona]

Ok must be being a numpty somewher a long the line with this one...

Trying to insert an avatar I have a picture 100 X 75 pixels
I can get an url address via Google Picasa but it doesn't load and when I go back to modify it is not showing as if it isn't registering on the site.

Any words of wisdom to solve the problem??

[Miss Piggin]

Hi Fiona

Welcome to TAPS.

Can you post your link here and I will try it for you?

[Fiona]

here goes:
fingers crossed if it doesn't work you might be able to tell me where I'm going wrong .
the link on picasa gives this:
picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ZTqlNRimIUXraML5u2ijGYCpZM0ah36dVowaQEF4jWw?feat=directlink

if I click on the phto and get 'copy URL' I get this :
lh3.googleusercontent.com/-phyl4f0djF4/ThIjqNx8g8I/AAAAAAAABJ4/gXt11d-v6qw/SAM_2922.JPG

this is what you should be seeing I've now tried to insert the image using the image button on the tool bar but nothing is happening no matter what I use from picasa.

whichever I've tried nothing is working.

ta muchly

[Miss Piggin]

I'm afraid it doesn't seem to like Picasa. I've saved it to my photobucket album and uploaded it from there instead.

[Fiona]

thanks at least I now have an avatar that is something a bit more 'me' although it is three scouts on the top of Roseberry Topping lol

I'll look into opening a photobucket account or can you post directly from your computer files - not as an avatar but in general
