Didn't you see Gandalph's post of a similar nature? Your post won't be ignored. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

What was supposed to be in your sig that didn't work?

But uhh, it was to see if a picture worked and see if a Avatar showed up. I can't get the avatar to work right for some reason. Actually, I can't even get the thing to open up. I click on the "Select a differetn Avatar image" button and nothing opens. It's point to "javascript:void(0);" But I look at the source code and it looks like it's supposed to point to "javascript:void(0);" on click="launch_avatar_window();" So something is going on. Actually most of the new features on here including the poll's point to only "javascript:void(0)"... So anyone know what's wrong or what I could do?

[Fyron]

What browser are you using? There might be a slight compatability issue. The avatar page loads fine for me.

I don't think that the "javascript:void(0);" is a problem. It just seems to be that way the code was written. I don't really know anything about the inner workings of this forum, so I can't really offer assistance.

[dogscoff]

Just posting to let you know that I'm ignoring your thread, as you requested.

Please ignore this post.

You'll notice on the URL code that it gives you, it'll have [ URL= whatever.com/whatever.gif ] [/ url ] (But without the spaces) to get it to work you'll have to take off the "URL=" and the "/URL" that way it only shows "http://www.shrapnelgames.com/whateveryourimgfilenameis.gif"... Doing that SHOULD make it work. If not then uhh I don't know...

[Taz-in-Space]

Did you remember to hit the SET URL button?

My avatar was 32x32 and worked fine.

[geoschmo]

Deathstalker, Have you tried making any new Posts since you setup the avatar? I didn't start seeing mine until I did. Even hitting refresh didn't work. Not sure about editing a previous post. Maybe that doesn't do it either. Try a new post.

Georgig, the link to your avatar isn't working. You can upload it to Shrapnel using the file upload form in the scenario forum and then link to that. It might work better.

Geoschmo

[Lemmy]

so this is now the official "test your avatar" thread?

ok, testing then....

/edit : here is the "add your avatar walkthrough" " http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif " (smilie with ears)

first you go to the "my profile" link below the new thread and reply buttons.Then you select View/Update profile, after that you scroll down to the avatar setting, and choose Select different avatar image, a new window will show. You can Choose one of the premade avatar, or fill in your own url in the textbox below, if you choose your own image, then after inserting the url, click on "set url", and then on "select this avatar", then close the window...or it closes itself...i forgot..anyway, get rid of that window.
Then scroll all the way down in your profile page, anbd select Update Profile...and your done.

i can see it... hmm... ok http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Lemmy]

i can't see it, try removing the extra points in the file name, not all systems handle those points very well, rename it to chaos.gif or something

[eorg]

first try was wrong yes i forgot '24'
but now it should work fine i'll move it anyway :-)

[eorg]

hmm where is 'upload' section? faq says 'you can't attach'

[TerranC]

Umm... Georgig, I think you should get your Avatar fixed. It just shows up as cannot load image.

[Captain Kwok]

Georgig...

I don't think your avatar is working because Geocities doesn't allow remote linking...

[Phoenix-D]

probably. if you right click on his avatar, copy/paste the URL, then paste it into your browser's address bar, it works. it also works when I come back (browser Cache)

[Dracus]

walked in, walked out

[Quikngruvn]

That works, as long as you don't put the image's address in a new window, and don't refresh the page. As least that's what happened to me....

This is also a gratuitous post to test the avatar. Hey, everyone else has one....

Feh. I must be doing something wrong, and I'm done messing with it for now. Perhaps later....

If anyone is looking for someone to host their avatar, just send me an e-mail with your 48x48 pic in either .gif or .jpg format and I'll upload it to my webspace and send you the location.

Just e-mail me at capt-kwok@rogers.com

[Lisif Deoral]

Groan... I wonder if the transparency finally works as intended... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Edit: ok... it "only" took me 28 minutes to persuade the pic to be seen http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif

Thanks to Captain Kwok, I have my own avatar!

[Ragnarok]

Hey, I'm going to sound really stupid asking this... But where's the link to the upload section of this page? I had it the other day, now I can't find it for the life of me. Ever since the forum blew up I haven't seen it anywhere. If one of you could give me the link I'd appreciate it. Thanks

[Fyron]

Umm... never mind. That page has been lost in the void. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

It appears as if uploads are still disabled. Nuts. And I was so looking forward to having an avatar on here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

How do you get transparency?

Think this will have to be a temporary avatar until I can draw something better.

What graphics program are you using?

[Captain Kwok]

Just another reminder:

If you need a host for your custom avatar, just send me a 48x48 Version to capt-kwok@rogers.com and I'll upload it and send you the address.

I believe I'm only hosting six, so there's lots of room left.

[Grandpa Kim]

I'm gonna start putting "Please Ignore" on the all the threads I start from now on! Look at the action you got, Ragnarok!

Good job I'm not doing anything important=-)

Anyway, the UBB code is correct now, let's see if it supports clickable images...

[dogscoff]

Nope, it doesn't. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif This'll have to do.

YAY! It works! you can do

(Where # = square brackets) for clickable images in your sig - click my banner down there to see it in action http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Dogscoff, 9 Posts to test a sig...I think that's a record! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Yeah I know, I'm ashamed of it really, since it just shows up my stupidity. If we still had the "delete Posts" option I'd have used that. Still, it was early on a Monday morning, and it now looks exactly the way I wanted it=-)

Test 3 - Some minor improvements.

I wonder: when ragnarok said to IGNORE this forum, did he ment it as:

Please Ignore the Ignore this post

- or -

Please post off topic but Ignore everything else ontopic

?

[TerranC]

*I could have used edit but since edit doesn't bump...*

Just a question: does anyone have extra space that they want to use for hosting other people's Signatures or Avatars?

[Fyron]

You can upload your avatar to shrapnel, and host it there.

But I should've known better and how that wouldn't have happened. So now the "Ignore" means "Ignore whatever the hell you want to ignore" lol. Does that clear it up?
