Where can I ask technical questions?

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.

Can I add that flickr doesn't like, nor is really intended to be just a host site for posting pics on the internet; photobucket is better for such purposes.

Just saying in case folks aren't aware of this.

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.

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!

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.

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.

[PrivateeroftheDeep]

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.

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

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)

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

Yes. Do rep first then thanks.

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?

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

Thanks Linus I thought I'd seen some smilies that were different than the ones here.

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.

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!

When you click the yellow img icon and the box appears delete the http that is in the box and paste your pic link, hit submit.

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

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*
