WE ARE BACK ONLINE AGAIN!

[Michael Messer]

Thanks Alan,

I have done that about ten times and so far no luck. I will try again.

Shine On,
Michael.

Whats the URL?

Did you click the modify profile button at the bottom?

[Michael Messer]

I certainly did. I also noticed that J Cooper's avatar has dissappeared?

URL of my avatar - www.michaelmesser.co.uk/MM%20FORUM%20AVATAR.gif

It has beaten me. Ah well, just have to live without one!

Shine On,
Michael.

Easy answer after fiddling about .

It dont like spaces

This

won't work ----%20 = a space

This will

just use _ (underscores next to the 0 key top row)

then I think your pic size is 75 by 75.

Look on the home page, its Larry's Birthday little cake and everything.

[Michael Messer]

Ahhhhh......I think you have got it! My pic is 80 x 60. I'll have a look later. Thank you Alan.

Larry,s birthday......it is too !

Shine On,
Michael

[Michael Messer]

No it ain't working. How come all my other links to pics work and they all have %20 in the URLs? >>>>H E L P :-(

Shine On,
Michael.

[Alan]

I don't know, all I know is that when I took out the spaces it worked.

just use
www.radicalhci.com/images/MM_FORUM_AVATAR.gif

until you sort it.

I've personal messaged you about it

[Richard]

just testing the avatar..

[Richard]

I'm having trouble - no-ones avatar showing at all and I thought there used to be buttons to modify a post etc, it seems even the reply button has gone AWOL?

I'm using Firefox, but have been doing so for some time so ummm??

And it seems I missed Larry's cake, let's hope he will bring the real thing to EBA school..


Any idea's on the display ?

[Alan]

Have a look here

support.proboards.com

Basically the system has'nt been fully upgraded yet. I have the same problen with Firefox. Here's a cake for you to look at.

Even says Happy Birthday Larry! Don't nkow about the 50 bit

[Richard]

Well, it's all working again now and even shows my 30's Gretsch avitar..

As for Larry's cake I think they must have missed the "1" off

[Colin McCubbin]

Any one else having this problem with the new proboard?

It used to open in a frame and when I clicked on the back button of my browser it vanished and I returned to the page before it..

Now on both my pcs it opens full page and no matter how many times I click on the back button it keeps on re-opening proboards. I have to close the browser and then restart it and navigate back to the page I was on before opening proboards.

I know that Michael is in the studio recording his new cd so don't want to bother him with an email, but has anyone the same problem, and also any solutions?

Thanks.

Colin

One interesting thing is that unless you are logged in the avatars do not appear, that must be a bit of a real downer for the non-members

[Michael Messer]

Hi everyone,

I too am experiencing the same problems as you are. It is very frustrating and when I have finished recording my new album, I will contact ProBoards and try to improve things. The problem is that I do not want to move the forum to another company because we will lose all that we have built up on this one, so I will do my best to get these glitches sorted out. Meanwhile it might be a good idea for forum members to write to the customer support guys at ProBoards and let them know about the problems.

Thanks,

Shine On,

Hi Michael & and anyone else interested.

Using code at my site as the example (Michael's only differs in the forum called)

Both of us have been calling proboards in our index page (the left hand frame) using a line like:

<a href="http://michaelmesser.proboards7.com/index.cgi?board=notecannons" >NOTECANNONS<br>
FORUM</a><br>

This was loading it into the big right hand frame (defined as "main") since we had a line in the head code reading

<base target="main">

This caused all links opened in the index to open and display in the "main' frame.



However now proboards wants to open full screen and overrules/clobbers the browser's use of frames. Thus our problem.

The solution is to add the code TARGET="_blank" to the code that calls proboards.

Thus:

<a href="http://michaelmesser.proboards7.com/index.cgi?board=notecannons" target="_blank">NOTECANNONS<br>
FORUM</a><br>

Now proboards opens in a new browser window and when closed goes away leaving us back at the calling page.

Aloha!

PS Hope the recording went well, looking forwards to hearing the new CD in due course!
