Posting Questions!

[StacieHeather]

Since I'm relatively computer illiterate I need to ask for assistance.

1.) How can I put a cute little picture thingy under my name on the sidebar area? Does anyone have a link to some choices?

2.) This is about posting on "Left Behind MB":
When I first registered there I was on my computer at
work and I never logged off (if you can, I can't
figure it out) I just X'd out. Now that I have a new
computer at home, I can't log on because it keeps
asking me to register but it said my name was taken
and I had to re-register. So I can post there at work
but not at home! Help!

3.) How do I change the font and colot within my posts? I
think I highlight and go to one of the things on my
toolbar but I don't know which one.

Sorry for all the idiotic questions but I don't know who else to ask. All of y'all have such cute things I just want to know how. Everyone else seems so computer savvy except me! (Waaaaah!)

Thanks for any info you can give me!!!!!!!

Stacie, to get the picture under your name, you need to go to your control center and then click on your profile. There is a place for Personal Photo URL. Just put in the URL of the picture you want on there. You just need to make sure that the picture will be available to use on message boards. I know geocities does not.

Don't know about LBMB.

Most of the info for ezcodes is here. You should be able to change the color the same way by using color codes. You can find some colors here or here.

 

[StacieHeather]

Thanks, onesheep! The colors are really cool but I still don't know how to get a shade from there (do I?) and make it appear here. Do I copy and paste something or type something after a sentence I want colored? Sorry I sound so ignorant but, hey, about this I am! I really appreciate you taking the time to help.

p.s. when it comes to stuff like this my kids call me a "gooberhead"...I think it fits!

[StacieHeather]

Oh, one more thing...when you said I should go to "my control center" and put in the URL of the pic I want in "personal photo", where can I get the URL? What do I search under to find clip art (or whatever you would call the moving pics) for my use here? I thought "personal photo" would be just that...a picture of me! Oh, wait...it can be any picture, right, but some people just use their own mugs! Duh!

I found the area in "my control center" so do I find a URL of a pic I want (where? I have no clue) and just copy and paste it there? Is that right? *sigh* This here larnin'capooter jargon iz 'bout makin'mah brain mushy lik smashed taters!


Thanks again! Stacie

testing...testing...1 2 3

let's see what this is.

 

[StacieHeather]

Okay, when I got that it was just a square with a red x on it....and that's the way it stays! I went to the RR board link, S_S, but I could only see your big pics and the rest were little boxes with red x's. How can I see what the boxes are supposed to be? I'm gonna try to test a real pic that I can actually see. I thought that if I did what you said it would magically turn into a picture! As usual, I was dead wrong! Back to the drawing board....

Thanks for the input!

[StacieHeather]

one more time *sigh*

+crossing my fingers!+

 

[StacieHeather]

Okay, I am woman enough to admit defeat. I'm whupped. It has won. I bow at the motherboard and beg for mercy.

Stacie

BTW, does anyone see anything besides a square with an X in it? That's all I see.

Stacie

 

[Solomon Spade]

If it's a box eith a red x, it means that it belongs to a site that doesn'y allow its images on here. Try one of them that you can see.

 

[Wearynot]

I have always been able to use Crack's Smileys on here...why can't I now? I'm like you, Stacie...whupped!

 

[StacieHeather]

S_S, the image I tried to get on that last attempt was one you put there of the dancing Spam. So, I'm still whupped. On that link you gave there were some that showed up (like most of yours and the Spam) but most were the boxes with X's. I'm so lost! Thanks for the effort, I'm just hopeless!

Stacie

 

[onesheep]

Stacie, this is the url for the dancing spam:

http://www.expressedthoughts.com/redeemed/graphics/dancingspam.gif

You need the whole thing for it.

As for the colors, you change the color by putting in brackets <font color=white> font color=white.

Where else might I find gifs that this site will accept? I am so bummed that my cow with a beanie on doesn't work!

 

[onesheep]

Actually, it's not that this site won't accept them, it's that some sites (like geocities, xoom) won't allow you to link to their sites. If you do a search on the web for animated gifs or something like that, you'll find a whole bunch of sites. Some will say "Don't link to our site" but a lot don't care.

EzCode Parsing Error: color=white] onesheep, here's a color test.

thanks (if it works!) well...thanks even if it doesn't

 

[StacieHeather]

Darn it! Still wrong! I put EzCode Parsing Error: color=white] in it and, no dice, it didn't work. I'll try the pics again after I do a search for gifs. More testing to come..I'm sure you can't

 

[AngelAmidala]

I might have to do some testing of my own.
I had a picture that worked yesterday when I tested it on another board...but today didn't work! :-(

*sighs*
For now I've turned off my personal picture so I wouldn't leave a big box with a red x in it.

But it still turns up!

 

[onesheep]

Angel, Xoom doesn't allow you to link to pictures on their website. You cant view them if you have the url but linking doesn't work. I found that out after about 25 emails requesting help.
