Where can I ask technical questions?
 

Hi. I'm trying to upload some pics but they are too big lol. Thank you

Where are you trying to upload them to? If it's the galleries, there is a limit on the size (I'll have to look it up again since I don't hit this). You'll need to resize the picture down a bit. There are a variety of online places to resize your picture on if you need help with that.

Hi! Tryin to add some photos to what i want to post in a forum

Ok... have you got them posted elsewhere?

uh my desktop...maybe i should PM you before my ingorance gets broadcast way too wide :)

Heh.. many people aren't sure how to do this stuff so it's good to have the discussion here.

You should upload the pictures to a picture sharing website like Flickr and then link them into the post.

Thanks. And for additional educational purposes, why upload them to an intermediary website before linking here? Is that because the intermediate website will do the resizing automatically or for other reasons? I ask because I wonder if the convenience of Flikr etc. is worth the loss of privacy/control? or am i being silly?

since I'm on a roll, and on display for others' viewing pleasure as it were, :flowers: ....how do i do that nifty thing where youtube links directly in a post so you can click on it and play? when i try it i get a weird message about embedding ;)

thanks!!!

We don't allow for uploading of pictures directly to posts from your computer. It's a space thing as well as a security thing.

For the youtube, you just need the last bit of the youtube link. For example, if this was the youtube I wanted to post: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C7mNr5WMjA

then I would just put the 2C7mNr5WMjA in between the YouTube tags.

Thanks Linus!:bunchflowers:

One more quickie question please!
 

Is it possible to upgrade my subscription? :confused:
I just subscribed but I meant to get the next level up

Send a note to Admin and/or Medusa. They'll be able to upgrade you.

Thank you (f)

Please note the following when uploading: Allowable Image Types: jpg,jpeg,png,gif

picture in profile
 

How do I post a picture to my profile or replace the avatars with my photo?

1. Click on "User CP," in the green bar above.
2. Select "Paid Subscriptions," in the sidebar on the left-hand side of the page.
3. Select a paid membership which you would like.
4. Pay for that membership.
5. Now you have the ability to have your photo for an avatar.

Upload photos
 

I don't know if this applies to you but I was trying to upload from my IPhone but it didn't work. I then used my PC & could do it. I still need to figure out how to use my picture as my avatar (not very tech-savvy!).

Ps: Welcome!

Only paid subscriptions allow for custom avatars. http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/inde...=subscriptions

More newbie questions
 

Thanks for your help!
1. What do the rep points mean & why are they there?
2. How do you subscribe to threads?
3. Does anyone reply personally to you in that list of thank you posts related to comment I made in a thread? I accidentally opened up a reply to me-related to one of my posts (not a private message, I know how to do that) but when I looked again could not find it. It was to me as it started: "Anya".

Hope the last question makes sense, thanks again.

1. How reputation works is found here in this thread
2. Go to the thread in question, look to the top left for Thread Tools and from the drop down select "Subscribe to this Thread". You can choose to have it send emails immediately (works when not logged in), send no emails or send a daily digest. Subscribed threads updated will appear in your User CP above reputation awarded to you.
3. You can see the last 20 or 25 reps (I can't remember which) in the User CP. Both "Thanks" and regular reps count towards this. If you get thanked a lot then sometimes messages can be missed. There is no way to separate out thanks from regular reps.

How is a new thread started? I believe I am able to start one with my account. Do you also just figure out where it would be most appropriate to put it? I have one I would like to start.

Thanks Tech Guru!

Go to the forum you want to post and click on the New Thread button in the top left.

http://www.syrlinus.com/wp-content/u...ate-thread.jpg

What if there is no new thread button?
 

I wanted to post a new topic thread in the health forum but when I cluck on it, the list of threads come up but no button for new thread. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

There is likely a subforum where you post threads in. You would choose one of the following subforums to post the thread into: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...isplay.php?f=9

• Religion, Spirituality, Mysticism
• BODY, BEAUTY, LIFESTYLES
• COMMUNICATION, FRIENDSHIP, GETTING TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER
• BREAKUPS, LESSONS LEARNED, HEALING
• SUPPORT: ABUSE, ADDICTION, COPING

They in-turn may also have subforums themselves.

From one to another.
 

I just read this thread and whoever Linus is, they are a genius. Thank you for the help. Now knows how to "subscribe" and a host of other things. I figured out the quote thing on my own. The "thanks" was pretty self-explainatory. I guess it is trial and error.

I will probably have more.
 

1. Is there a max amount of subscriptions you can save?

2. How do you post to the listening thread so that a video "shows"?

3. Can you leave a "rep" note and a "thanks" note too?

4. If you want to post "in color" can you just choose the color and type that way all the time? or do you have to choose the color each time?

5. Can you post your own smiley or only choose from the list on the right?

[QUOTE=PrivateeroftheDeep;528705]1. Is there a max amount of subscriptions you can save? No

2. How do you post to the listening thread so that a video "shows"? it has to do with the you tube icon and I've yet to do it right. sorry.

3. Can you leave a "rep" note and a "thanks" note too? yes, leave note first then rep the thanks button

4. If you want to post "in color" can you just choose the color and type that way all the time? or do you have to choose the color each time? each time

5. Can you post your own smiley or only choose from the list on the right? you can post your own as long as it doesn't break the TOS
Me in this color

Nope.

Use the Youtube button. When it pops up post the ID of the Youtube. This is found, usually, at the end of a Youtube. For example, [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZo54hbMc5Q&feature=g-trend&context=G26e541bYTAAAAAAALAA"]Sleepy polar bear cub - YouTube[/nomedia]

You would use: eZo54hbMc5Q in the youtube pop up or between two youtube tags [youtube]eZo54hbMc5Q[ / youtube] (without the space)

Yes. Do rep first then thanks.

Each time.

If you click on the more you will see that there are far more than just those on the right. At this time we do not allow for users to upload their own smileys. You can post it as a picture. However, if you have any to add suggest them here: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...read.php?t=256

Ya. It's more likely that people are just posting them like a picture. However, we don't have a location to create your own smiley list nor allow for others to upload smilies.

Privateerofthedeep this is Linus' thread where you will find out all kinds of info. Linus is our forum geek, we luvs him.:hangloose:
I may have a spelling issue with your handle, LOL

Hi Corkey,

Well that person is a genius and the stuff that was written back to me for instructions was great. So was yours.

chuckling at you trying to spell my handle. Just call me Jaymes, that works.

Thank you again for the help.

Hello helpers of the lost ;-) I have tried to "link" a pic to a thread. I use photobucket and have followed the instructions; click on yellow box, insert html code from photobucket...and all I get is a box with a red x. Any advice?

I did and it still didn't work :-( I then tried what you suggested with the IMG thumbnail link but now there is a [/IMG] on each side of the picture.

Mostly I don't want the pic to be clickable so everyone can get to my other pics.

Almost got it...Thanks so much Cajun_dee!

I would recommend not posting pictures from a place where you don't want others to see other pictures. You have, thankfully, made the album private so that will avoid it. Just because it's not clickable doesn't mean that you cannot get the address of where it's originally from.

Rule of thumb: if you don't want people to see other stuff, don't post it from that location.

That said, when it comes to posting pictures all you need is the following:

{img}http://some.url.com/to.jpg{/img} (where {} is replaced with [] ) It's important to make sure that the path ends with .jpg or .gif or .png

HTH

attaching photos
 

Linus, you've written really good instructions but I'm sorry I just don't get it ... If I open a photo share account (someone recommended photobucket) I have to do a number of things to get it into my account but you don't recommend a shared photo account? It seems awfully complicated.

One more time from go to whoa for this nongeek? Pretty, pretty please? *fluttering my eyelashes at you*
