umm, if I may try to help: using Chrome...clear out all cookies, history..etc..clear out cache. See tools (tool symbol) on the upper right and go to 'settings'. Under 'data privacy' hit 'clear browser data' and delete all. Also follow second link here and delete all cookies.

http://support.google.com/chrome/bin...n&answer=95647

Sometimes it's an overloaded cache or corrupt cookies causing problems.

Hope it helps.

In addition to Kitty's suggestions take a look at this: http://java.com/en/download/help/enable_browser.xml and do the steps in the section associated to your browser (in this case, Chrome).

Hi,

Would someone please explain to me how to include a photo in a post?

The only icon I see relating to that, asks for a URL, but what about photos that are just on my desktop, and don't have a URL?

Thanks, as always!

Put those photos somewhere online and then paste the URL in. There are a lot of free sites like http://imgur.com/ and others that will allow you to do this. We don't allow desktop uploads unless they go to the gallery.

IS, you should be able to right click on a photo and copy the image address or click the properties link and copy if from there. This works for me when I lift photos from google or facebook. Hope that helps

Otherwise, I know picturetrail.com is a good photo site and they give all sorts of IMG options.

KayCee · 06-28-2012, 01:53 PM

IslandScout, http://tinypic.com/ is also good.

First choose your file and the size you want the pic for example to be. Then hit upload. After that choose the 'img' or 'url' you want. Then copy and paste that in between the [url]'s or [img]'s of your post.

Hope it works for you....

No. We ran into an issue and we've been waiting for the developer to get back to us.

Parker · 07-18-2012, 10:40 AM

Just curious Linus - is that issue extended to avatars? I havent been able to upload a new avatar (nor have I been able to use a link for a custom avatar) and was wondering if that was part of the galleries glitch.

No. It's a separate product. What issue do you get when you try to upload or link it?

I tried uploading a .jpg (more than one, actually) that is 100x100 pixels and 3.67kb - and I also uploaded that pic to my FaceBook and tried using the url - each time, when I click save changes, it just says "Invalid File."

DMW · 07-18-2012, 03:19 PM

Same. I can't upload a custom avatar either. I thought it was me doing something wrong. Or that i had to pay for a membership. which i did. maybe that hasn't gone through. But, i have the option for a custom avatar now.

the message i get is also

... invalid file.

also got

upload failed due to failure writing temporary file

puddin' · 07-23-2012, 04:33 PM

whew, a l'il relieved i'ma not da only one havin' trouble. gettin' da "invalid file" message as well, even when i try to upload avatars i've used befo'.

Linus · 07-23-2012, 06:57 PM

Sorry, Linus, I didnt see this post until just now - I tried to upload one this evening and it worked. Thank you

clay · 07-25-2012, 10:00 AM

hey...I have a couple questions....
1. when I log on to BFP, and home page loads for me to sign in, I am all of a sudden getting these dang popups, I never had those before. There isn't a "close" option to close the suckers out...what is making this happen, please?
2. At the same time of the big popup ads occuring, there started to be an unusual occurence on any thread, post,etc I go to. For example, on someone else's post, the words "relationship status" is highligted in blue and with two lines underneath. In posts, a word or words will be doubly underlined and highlighted in blue....making me crazy here...lol

Which browser are you using? Can you try a different one to see if you see the same effect?

This sounds like Malware. We do not have any advertising so there is no reason for popups.

clay · 07-25-2012, 10:39 AM

internet explorer....will do so this evening....thanks Linus! Have a great day!
