Welcome

[BillBrosky]

Trying to figure out how to save my avatar.  I need my scanner eye so I can see.  Advice is welcome.   

You can either upload it or link to it, in your profile.

Under 'Modify Profile/Forum Profile Information' I am plugging in the URL but can't see a 'save' button.  Everytime I go to another screen and back again, it is gone.  Call me a dummy!

Are you clicking the "Change profile" button at the bottom of the page?

That's just it, I am not seeing a 'Change Profile' button.

Well, that just won't do... we HAVE to have that scanner eye here if we are going to be a real forum.  Let me see what I can figure out.

Take a look at the attachment to see a picture of where the button is.  It is way down at the bottom of the page.  Let me know if you still don't see it or it is not there and I can set it up for you.

Thanks.

I can see from your attachment where it is supposed to be.  Here is what's happening.  The boxes to the right with the Most E-cred and Top posters are hoarding in on the profile stuff.  In other word, the change profile button in under the Top poster box.  I use explorer, but wouldn't think that has anything to do with it.  It might be some type of screen resolution issue.

Switch over to compatibility view.  Take a look at the new sticky thread about bleeding over on to other pages.  It shows you how to do it if you are not sure.

I will have to figure out why the site requires compatibility view...

If that doesn't help let me know.

Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Good to be on here, coach. Look forward to the discussions.

Okay, at work I am at 6.0 level of explorer, with no compatibilty view button.  I am at home now, window 7, later version of exploerer and it is worse.  HHHEEELLLPPP, please!

I think you have to be on version 8 for compatibility view.  I think the fundamental problem is just that the web site is too wide for some folks.  I will try to create a narrow theme for you guys when I get a chance.

For now, maybe I could fix your avatar picture for you.  It looks like you can post OK.  Are there any other issues you are seeing besides not being able to click the button?

It's a great thing you are doing and I'm just trying to help so the newcomers will not have to deal with it.  I used the compatibility view option to no avail.  Then I shrank the boxes to the right and could finally see the 'Change Profile' option, yet it still didn't work out for me.  If you can fix it, it'll be okay by me, and would 'preciate it.  Here is the URL;  Click here for link

Thanks again buddy!

I just dug through the forum code and found the place where it puts the button on the screen.  I changed it to be centered instead of right aligned.  Can you click it now?

Thanks.

[BillBrosky]

I could see it, plugged in the url, which clicked the box for that slot, then hit the change profile swith, it switched to the option about uploading my own. 

[SUPERCOACH]

It looks like the button is working now, but the picture won't upload to the server.  I think the server is just too overloaded right now.  It is not our site so much, but all of the other random sites that just so happen to be on the same server we are on.

I am very doubtful that godaddy will be able to fix this for us, or would even make an attempt to do so.  I am going to try and move the whole site over to a dedicated server as soon as I can.  For those who don't know, with a dedicated server I have full control of the machine.  There won't be any other web sites or anything else on there, except for the stuff that I put on there.  That should fix all of our performance problems.

[BillBrosky]

You'll figure it out, and again, it's a great thing you're doing.  I tried to upload, and it didn't work.  I am a patient old man.  I can't say I have the patience of Job because Job didn't have the patience at first, questioning God and all.  But I am just a tured old man of 48, and will go with the flow.
