I've been having a problem with the activation email. I tried to set up an account with my trusted, long-time username of highwayman57, but I don't see it on the member list. I was finally able to gain access by logging in with my Google account, but I can't use my preferred username. Does anybody have any advice?

Hi David. I have no idea why this wasn't working correctly for you, but I edited and saved your profile name. I hope this is what you wanted. And welcome aboard!

Thanks, GubernatorFan! I just saw your post after I posted again in the new members thread; I didn't even notice the change to my username! Thanks so very much for fixing it!

Gratefully,
David

Cheers!

@GubernatorFan - since this forum uses PunBB, if you'd like to limit image size in signature, in the Admin panel -> Display -> Colors, add this in the CSS (replace with whichever max width and height you choose).

Code:
.sig-content img{
max-width: 600px !important;
max-height: 250px !important;
}

Hi Kukolka,

Thank you very much for the advice, I will look into it soon.

What you were referring to is the moderator rank, but I know what you meant, the custom user title. I had been looking for this since we started the forum. I eventually managed to turn up helpful info in the Forumotion question and answer files, created a new field (Title: custom user title), and tested it out successfully. So you can go into your profile and fill this out just like you can fill out your age or location, then save your changes.

Only limitation, the system insists on there being a word and a colon ( : ) before whatever you write in. I settled for the short word "title:", but if you have any better suggestions, let me know. I was also considering "is:". But no promises. Smile

Thanks for that GF and it works great.
'Title' is fine right now and I'm sure there'll be other suggestions as we progress !

Can we fix it so that, when we get a reply email, open the link and log on, we get taken to the thread and not to the front page? I'm sure it's possible.

I am not sure that would be within my technical abilities, but by all means lets work on it.

Rather than continue to moan about my current problems getting Photobucket images and gifs to show up on three different threads, I thought I'd just bring the issue up here where it belongs. Clearly there is an issue with forumotion and PB not playing nice together, since the images in question are still showing on multiple other sites, including OSW.

I know I can try hosting images directly here, but I'd like to be able to use PB as well because I have so many images stored there.

Who can we turn to for help? Does Forumotion have tech support?

Tank Girl,

Did you check the links I provided in the PM? Those are from Forumotion's resolved support threads. I found a third, but it seemed even less helpful.

I have experimented with any changed settings to this forum, and reverting to earlier settings (which had nothing to do with gifs anyway) did not make a difference with the display of these images.

Have you made changes to any of your settings or preferences here? Or on Photobucket? I know from flickr that if you simply change the status of an image to private or public, the whole link changes, although I doubt this is the issue here.

From the start I have pointed out I am not tech savvy and I call upon the other Founding Fathers and other forum members in general to find us a tech and/or a solution.

I hope this is worked out, as it is truly a curious and disturbing issue.

PS A logical step would be for anyone else with Photobucket to test this and see if their images (jpeg or gif) from there would display here.

I can't offer much, but, all my albums in Imgur are private and I've never had display issues anywhere.

That particular issue (which may not be Tank Girl's problem) is a little different. It's not that an image is private, but if (for example) you made a link to it while it was still public and then made it private, the link would be broken, because the system (at least flickr's) assigns the image a different url. So for the link to work, you would have to update the url accordingly. And then, even if the image is private, as long as the url is correct, it would display.

Interesting,

I'm sure I've posted pics before and then made the album private and not had issues. Have you seen my reply in TGF's thread? I don't use the buttons on here to post pics, I use the clipboard.

CHEERS!

What I described may just be a flickr thing. I did see. Is it that you use the clipboard or that you put the correct (for example) Help needed with forum tech - Page 3  and around what you paste? Theoretically that should be just as good as inserting or hosting.

They have proper share links already set up, as do PB, you just copy and paste them. With PB they are linked back to the site, but with Imgur they are embedded.

CHEERS!

I've been awake for about two hours now.

How come many are not bothering to use the image hosting capability with Forumotion?

You know. Upload the images from your PC?

Hi DFC. Good morning! Smile Tank Girl wanted to reintroduce a large number of images she has on Photobucket, and I cannot blame her for being taken aback by the disappearance of her already displayed images and of what seemed to be one of our system's capabilities. I myself upload images on Servimg (so to speak, "here").
