Ok. Who's in charge of changing them whizzits and gidgets and such?? Cuz' someone forgot to adjust my PM box.

(Y'all are gonna need a help desk, you do realize that, right?!?)

I think it's kinda cute when the veggies (although one was NOT a real veggie but a fruit in disguise) get all up in each other's grills.

yeah, I was never as well behaved as a veggie... I liked other things put on the grill too

aren't you clever, Arwen.

lol..

and Linus, not too grill your sado-mastic side (because I'm sensing there is one).. I totally hear your sentiment and you're very good and helping folks and demystifying technology for them.

I hope to help out too when I can. But, if we duke out in technical disagreements, I'm telling you right now, I want the green light sabre.

is there a way to "refresh" my subscribed forums list after i've caught up with them, to get them off my CP?

Am i being clear? i doubt it.

Am i talking to myself? yes, you are, rhonda

You know, so that after i've caught up on all my subscribed threads, they'll disappear from my CP (except for the active ones where people post while i'm still online).

Go to Quick Links --> Mark Forums read. This clears out all the subscribed threads as well as other threads. Do this after you've checked whatever threads you wanted out. :)

Do your videos usually show up?

Check the code and try to repost them. Otherwise, it might be a case of embedding being disabled on those videos. Youtube flags certain videos as unable to embed.

So just say (not that this is TRUE or anything - okay, yes it is) that I no longer have the email address that I signed up here with because I discontinued the service that was providing that email address - AND I cannot change my email address over here because I can't remember my password.

Because of the miracle of cookies I am able to stay logged in and stuff, which is nice and all...but what should I do? Is Linus able to reset my password for me or change the email address associated with my account over here?

And how can I prove that I'm me? ;)

yep, they always show up.

Sorry, we all missed this. I will send you a PM with the new temporary password in it, then once you respond back to me, I will go in and change it to that, so write it down. Then, you can change it to whatever you want.

This will be later, because I have company coming for dinner, but look for your PM.

When I tried to access the "our newest member" profiles today, I get this instead:

Kobi, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Hi. I was not sure where to ask this question. The title of this thread looked promising.

I am wanting to become a paid member. But, when I pull up the list of subscriptions it does not tell me "what bang I get for my buck".

Is there a place where I can find this information?

Thank you.

Every member can post images. You can't upload them directly to the site but you can post them from hosted sites :)

If you click on the little picture icon, you can paste the http:// path to the photo in that box and it will show up for you.

Quick question: I went to view my profile and for current activity, it said moderating. I've never seen that before. All I had been doing was viewing a thread beforehand. I'm curious as to what that is/means. For a minute there I thought I was being moderated. (I promise I didn't do it, whatever it is! lol)

Hi,

I wanted to post a couple of pics into a post; my understanding is that I do this from a hosted site and not my hard drive, so I set up a flickr account. I would like to set that account to "private to me" and not share with the whole world. My question is; if I link to a url that is set to private on flickr will it show up here?

Thank you

My thinking was to put it into an album within a gallery rather than a different gallery. It let me create an album and will let me upload new photos to it; I wanted to move existing gallery photos into the newly created album (subfolder). Wish I could figure out how to be more clear...:confused:

There are some photos in the gallery that don't seem to display a "Quick Reply" box, I cleared my cache and tried it in two different browsers, Google Chrome and then Internet Explorer.

I posted some pics with The Fish, like this one Happy Monkey (http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=7070) and it seems that AbigailCrabby was able to comment, but I don't see the quick reply option...

When I click on this pic, Monkeying Around, (http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=7073) I see no quick reply box either...

I am going to back and make sure it isn't an issue re: extra options...

Hrmmm... Do you have another computer to try it on? This is definitely something with your account (we didn't change anything and I can't find anything explicitly that would prevent that). Do you have Firefox installed? I know you tried Chrome and IE but they are very similar..

I'll see if I can research this later today and figure out why this is happening..

Hey there Linus. I've had this problem for a while now but it's getting worse and is making the site almost unbearable to use.

In Firefox, Safari or Chrome (all current versions), after I've been logged in a short time the site gets slower and slower taking minutes to load one page if it loads at all. It'll do this for an hour then load a couple of pages instantly only to return rapidly to making me want to throw a brick through my screen.

This is the only site that it happens on for me. I clear my cookies, cache and history regularly - two or three times a week, run scripts regularly and repair permissions.

I'm using OSX 10.6.8

ps. I won't sully my mac with IE to see if that improves matters.

I've just had a play on my windows laptop and whilst the site functions slightly quicker than the interminable slowness on my iMac it still functions slower than any other site.

There's a special box of, rolled on the naked thighs of virgins, cigars in it for you if you can save me the horror of having to phone my ISP, in one of their overseas call centres, at a wallet crunching rate per minute to ask them why the hell one site won't function properly.


Ta ever so in advance

Hey there Linus. I've had this problem for a while now but it's getting worse and is making the site almost unbearable to use.

In Firefox, Safari or Chrome (all current versions), after I've been logged in a short time the site gets slower and slower taking minutes to load one page if it loads at all. It'll do this for an hour then load a couple of pages instantly only to return rapidly to making me want to throw a brick through my screen.

This is the only site that it happens on for me. I clear my cookies, cache and history regularly - two or three times a week, run scripts regularly and repair permissions.

I'm using OSX 10.6.8

ps. I won't sully my mac with IE to see if that improves matters.

I've just had a play on my windows laptop and whilst the site functions slightly quicker than the interminable slowness on my iMac it still functions slower than any other site.

There's a special box of, rolled on the naked thighs of virgins, cigars in it for you if you can save me the horror of having to phone my ISP, in one of their overseas call centres, at a wallet crunching rate per minute to ask them why the hell one site won't function properly.


Ta ever so in advance

:chaplin:

I use a Mac (10.6.8) and use Firefox 7.0.1 without problems. That said, there may be something specific on your system. Take a look at this link:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3145488?start=0&tstart=0

A search showed that it was consistently a DNS issue. (Domain Name resolution issue).

I've deleted the file the thread you posted suggests and I've turned off IPv6. Let's hope that makes a difference because I'm getting to the point I don't want to log on. It is just this site that's the problem, no other.

Beyond what I've got there, I don't know what to suggest. I haven't heard of too many people having issues and most of the issues that are reported seem location specific rather than site.

Is there a way to size them down using html?

They are kind of annoying huge.

Resize them before posting them. So put them on a place like Imageshack or flickr and get the link from there.

Are you trying this from the front page? If so, that's always been problematic.

Try going into the forum area and click on the links on the menu bar from there.

Ah.. now I see. You've posted it into the album on your profile. This is different from the Gallery. You need to go where you posted those 3 pictures and create an album there and post there for those pictures to appear there.

Linus I adjusted my screen size to 1024x768 and now I can see the text box to type. But I have limited eyesight and this makes it hard to see the forum part not the chat...so I guess if I want to chat I will need to adjust off 800x600 resolution. Frankly not sure chat is worth it..lol Just thought i would tell you what the "fix" was in case someone else asks

If you take a look at your post, you should see the number 101. Each post has a unique identifying number for it within the thread. Clicking on that will show that post by itself. You can then link that like you would other URLs.

How in the world do I add pictures to a post?

I clicked on the insert little envelope thing but what URL do I use?

I figured out how to upload my avatar and to put some pictures in my gallery but that is about it.

I also need to know how to add an album of pictures. It is so frustrating to me to not know how to do something (recovering perfectionist and all).

I am technologically challenged!

Help!

The URL you use should end with jpg or gif. So, for example, I would use (without the space) http: //icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/f304c678-2c22-442e-a18f-83237ec2f038.jpg in the picture box (which enters IMG tags and puts the URL between them)

When I click "Thanks" on a post, it does post the thanks, but it immediately redirects me to an error message:

Nat, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

- Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page.
- Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
- If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.


I tested this out on several different posts by different people, and one time it didn't redirect to the error and the 5? other times it did.

Am I in troubles? :blink:

because what you are posting is not a url for an image, it's the url a for google preview of an image.

get the actual url of the image and use that instead.

click at the side of the google page where it says 'see full size image'. that will take you to the actual image.

http://www.google.com/imgres?q=pleaser+mary+jane&hl=en&client=safari&sa=X&rls=en&biw=1240&bih=633&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=6w8RI-8a0K3EmM:&imgrefurl=http://www.shopping.com/Pleaser-USA-Women-Kiss-280-6-Stiletto-Heel-Mary-Jane-Platforms-Pump-Pleaser-Women/info&docid=tbYfS8r-mDP5MM&imgurl=http://di1-1.shoppingshadow.com/images/pi/6f/b1/05/88135212-260x260-0-0_Pleaser%252BUSA%252BWomen%252BKiss%252B280%252B6 %252BStiletto%252BHeel%252BMary%252BJa.jpg&w=260&h=259&ei=tJQTT4HuL-qdiQKw7O2lDQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=496&sig=107954808311163722084&page=3&tbnh=125&tbnw=119&start=44&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:23,s:44&tx=68&ty=58

Thanks in advance for your expertise! :bunchflowers:

Right click the picture then select Copy Image Location (It will be something similar if you don't use Win7) Then select the image icon as you were doing, right click and Paste.

Not crazy. I did some modifications. Technically, regular members weren't supposed to have the ability to have signatures at all (see here: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/index.php?pageid=subscriptions --> Signature ability shouldn't show up until BFP Supporter II). I didn't completely remove that but slightly modified it to take away some of the more "advanced" options.

Ok - You will find that any images uploaded directly to the site under signatures no longer work. All images in signatures will need to be hosted elsewhere like Photobucket.

I tweaked the options in the back and am doing a backup right now. I think some of our options got wonky in the last few days because we definitely don't have the space to host signature photos.

Let me know if the links don't work when uploaded to Photobucket!

Hey :)

I haven't been able to load the "What made you :| today?" thread all evening. I don't seem to have any problems with any threads but this one. It tries to load, but then I get an error page that reads:

This webpage has a redirect loop

The webpage at http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=698&page=2761 has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
Learn more about this problem.

Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.

I deleted cookies, cache, etc, all to no avail, so I thought I'd bring it up here in case there's a little glitch or something tech-ish that is the problem, or if it is still just me and I need to do something else to fix it on my end. :winky:

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept

Not sure if this is relevant but because I am a QA guy...

I was curious if I could get to the last page of the :| thread if I post something. I got the redirect loop error page when I hit submit. So I didn't think i posted. However, my "testing" post was submitted. But I still can't access the last page. :seeingstars:

I know what it is and I've used it for other forums. Before I enable this, I need to check with Medusa as this means we'll have a "middleman" accessing the site and I want to be sure she's ok with that given the sensitive nature of some of the threads.

So let me get back to you on that, ok? The answer may be no because of the "middle man" effect.

You can also find them in your Control Panel also known as UserCP.

She can't see your pointing, dee. I'm in the way.

Scout, You can also reach them by clicking on User CP at the top left of your screen and scrolling down. Some of the threads you are subscribed to and that have current activity will be there. There's also a link to see more if you'd like to search through them. Also, you can find your reps located at the bottom of that screen.

I find that User CP is my go to place for everything. :)

Now this is a really humbling question, but someone please take pity on me...I can't for the life of me figure out how to make a friend request. I know how to accept them, I just can't figure out how to request that someone be my friend.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Can someone explain some thing for me.....

I was looking at photo's in the Gallery and I noticed a photo was "TAGGED" I've never seen this....

What is a Tag and How is it used??

Are you talking about the little key words down at the bottom of a photo, Strap?

Yes if you look at the Photo.... It's just under the date and number of views.

I see someone has tagged the photo 1 time... and then it shows who tagged it.

A tag is like there being a picture of a dog eyeballing a steak and someone tagged it or "labeled" it "hungry puppy".

If you searched for "hungry puppy" then that photo would come up and so would any other photo tagged as "hungry puppy".

In my own photos, I like to tag the people in them (unless it's June!) so that when you search for all pictures of Strappie, the photos in my gallery with Strappies name come up and not just Strappie's photos in Strappie's gallery.

Make sense at all?

We haven't changed the font size. However, you may have inadvertently caused the browser to make the font smaller. Depending on the browser there is likely a setting under "View" or something similar on the browser itself to Zoom in.

That fixed it. Thanks.

I am going to blame it on Rene. :tease:

You cannot upload a photo. However you can link to one stored somewhere else. So if you post it in your Flickr or some other image hosting location you can upload it to there and link to it in your signature.

When you link it using the IMG tags (that's the icon with the mountains and moon in it), your URL/address should end with .gif or .jpg.

So should look like this:

http://www.syrlinus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Screen-Shot-2012-04-17-at-5.26.37-PM.png


And it will then be in the body of the text/signature.

Let me know if that helps or if you need any further help.
