R.? About avatars...

evil nickname · 01 Jun 2003, 22:54

Is there a known problem with avatars on this board? I can't get them to work... I paste the url in the appropriate box, press submit... and then nothing happens. Mozilla doesn't seem to do anything, and the Interet Expoiter gives a time-out after a long time...?

Is this a common thing, or is it just me?

William

Asha · 01 Jun 2003, 22:55

Nope same thing happened to me, but then R fixed it

Hi, William and Asha! I've been having the same problem for the past several days!

I put my link (http://www.conubic.com/graphics/sw.gif) in my profile and the page just sits there and eventually, I get an error message saying something about no connection could be made with the URL I am giving. But I know it's there and I can get it when I paste it into my browser.

R., can you help me, too??

Thanks!

Love,

I just entered both urls as an off site avatar in each profile and it worked right away?
What kind of error message do you get, which server is mentioned there?

Asha · 02 Jun 2003, 19:49

With me it just said:
Found website, waiting for reply...

and then I waited, and waited, and waited...
then after awhile it said Ready, and nothing had happend. Not really a error message with me, just that nothing happens

If I change something other then my avatar in my profile, I do not have this problem, it immediatly changes the settings, no problems. Only with my avatar.

"no connection could be made with the URL" sums it up prety nicely... in IE, that is, in Mozilla, I wait, and wait, and after some more waiting, still nothing happens... strange but true....

Anyway... thank you R.! Now my South Park look-alike can be enjoyed by all!

Well, thank you! I've been very much alive and kickin' butt!

MBrevard · 02 Jun 2003, 21:37

Hi, everyone!

Thank you, R.!! I can see myself again!!

Don't know what happened. One minute the avatar was there, the next it was gone and I couldn't get it back.

The message I received was not specific, as I said before. But I hope this fixes it for good!!

Thank you again!! Glad to see you all here!!

Love,

Hi MB,

It is certainly a pleasure to see your lovely avatar again. Hope the problems are solved now.

How are you doing?

Looking forward to the 22th

Is there an M&G at the US shows? I was just thinking about the M&G Meat talked about in april.
Does anyone know anything about that?

Love,

Mariella

MBrevard · 03 Jun 2003, 00:08

Hi, Mariella! Always nice to see you here!!!

Good to have my little 'winker' back! I feel whole again!

(Thanks again, R.!)

You BET I'm excited about June 22nd!!! And a few other dates coming up, if I can make it to them. It's going to be an incredible, but challenging summer for me, as you know!

Just 20 more days, though. I'm SO excited I can hardly sit here and type!!

Don't know about M&Gs, though. Meat hasn't said anything yet about the US ones. But I'm sure he will, in his own time!!

Until then, I remain hopeful!

If anyone else here at the forum is going to some of the California shows, please write to me. Love to meet up with you, if I can!! :P

Thanks, Mariella! You take good care.

Love ya,
MB

Cool pic Testify, I'll have to get used to you "looking" different though.

I'm sure R can help you with it

Asha

Testify · 19 Jul 2003, 10:33

I like it! i cant get it to work tho.

meatfan · 22 Jul 2003, 01:06

Like Testify, I need an idiots guide to getting an avatar - I think I must be the only one without a picture on my posts!!!

I take it an avatar

is the picture or moving thingy to the left.....

Heather.

Asha · 22 Jul 2003, 01:15

Yes it is.

In your profile you can select an avatar.
Select Show gallery, select a picture, from the different galleries.
Just klick on the white circle below a pic you like.
The chose select avatar, then klick Submit and your done.

Or, if you have a nice picture you found at a other site, just copy the URL to the box next to where is says "link to off site avatar" and then klick submit.
If it doesn't work, ask R for help.

Good luck,
Asha

meatfan · 22 Jul 2003, 01:38

Thanks Asha,

Copied and pasted to Word doc and I will have a go tomorrow - off to bed now.

I took some good close up pics of Meat in Leeds - like Dottie used a photo, can I use one of these? If so, how?

Heather.

Asha · 22 Jul 2003, 01:40

Ahhhhh, don't know, hehehe.

You had best ask R about that, I'm nopt that big a Internet wizz.
