Size of photo attachments
by ruskinPalms- 10 replies
- 2.9k views
Hi Dean, I have recently been experimenting with compressing photos to fit the 112640 byte limit. I feel that uploading photos directly to the forum server may be better than using iffy photo hosting services that may go out of business at any time resulting in a 1000's of broken links to photos making most of my posts less than useful. I think this forum should be able to stand the test of time and not be subject to such failures. However, I have found the 112640 byte limit to be very restrictive to posting at the quality that I am accostomed to by using photo hosting services. Is there any way that this limit can be raised using this current forum software ??? Incide…

I just noticed that some users use very large avatars that are just scaled down to apropriate size. For example, Surferjr's avatar has 908 kb, 1024px × 861px. Can something be done regarding that... it just slows the forum...

too many quotes rule in PM's

OK, has anyone else been annoyed by the "too many quotes" notice in PM's? I correspond with many forum members via the PM, not email. After 3 or so replies the quotes build up, and then the software dosen't like it and I have to delete all the previous comments just to get the PM to go through. Then all our previous correspondance is lost. Can we turn that feature off?

Help me out with pics please
by AndyR- 20 replies
- 2.8k views
Hi to all I've a load of great pics to share but when I upload them here they are all over the place, upside down and horizontal. They all look right-way-up on my computer. Previously I've taken the pics onto Corel draw and made new files but it is laborious and I don't have to time to muck around. Would love to share but it's too much of a hassle with pics all over the place when they upload. Using a great camera - Cannon 6D with some awesome lenses.... so what's the deal? Appreciate your input... Cheers, Andy

Black band with Firefox
by iwan- 8 replies
- 2.8k views
Since the upgrade to IP Board I have occasional issues where a black band covers part of the screen. It only happens occasionally, and the width of the band varies. I have the same problem on another forum that uses IP Board also. Browser is Firefox 3.5.1, but has persisted through various version upgrades of FF. A search here found nothing and only one hit on Google. Obviously, I have not found the right keywords to describe this issue. Has anyone else had this problem and/or found a solution? A page refresh will take care of the error, so this is just a minor annoyance. Note, for some reason the thumbnail shows completely black, but if you click on it, it wi…

I wanted to look up the PRA that we did to the SD Zoo and because all, or any, of the words in the title are under 4 characters it won't do it. I think the thread was called PRA to the SD Zoo. You can't search for PRA, SD, or ZOO. Can that be fixed?

I can't upload pictures anymore.
by Tyrone- 6 replies
- 2.7k views
I can't seem to upload pics anymore. The software will go through the motions of uploading the image, my modem will flash like crazy during the upload, and then when it's finished and should show up how much space you have left and whether you want to attach another image etc it's all blank, except for one little box you can click on only to tell you that no images were uploaded. Weird. Am I doing something wrong? Has the software changed? I was able to post a few pics on the weekend but now I can't. Best regards Tyrone

palm talk doesn't recognize me

This has been going on for a while. Every time I go to palm talk, the site makes me sign in. While that is not really a big deal, it is a small annoyance. Photobucket recognizes my computer...so does barnes & noble, yahoo and others. So it is not a firewall thing. Any thoughts? I always click the box to remember me but alas...

Need to change my email address/password

Dear Admin, I want to change my current email address as registered. In order to do that I have to enter my password. I don't have or remember it and my current email program is out of action so I can't look up any emails from Palmtalk. I can't change my password because it would be sent to the old email address which is out of action and hopefully will remain that way. So, here I am working on a laptop which auto recalled the password last time I had difficulties. I am only here for a short time, so could someone please PM me a password urgently so I can get in and change my email address. I have a new PC arrangement and want to have this info for the new PC set up…

Avatar issues

Seems that I can upload an avatar and see it on my avatar control page, but the old avatar continues to persist in message threads and is not replaced by the new image. It doesn't help if I delete it and upload something from scratch... the old one still pops up again. When I click on 'view image' it seems as if some sort of time stamp is being put on any new image I upload as an avatar which interferes with the ability to see it in message threads. I'll try to provide a more detailed explanation if there's no easy answer. Thanks, Ian

Hello, everyone: When I try to access my PMs I get the following message: "[#10229] We could not determine which message you were attempting to view. " I was not able to send any PMs, either which is why I'm posting this up here. Sorry to be PIA, but I need my PMs to start mailing out my palm seeds to all my palm-buds all over the globe, and now I can't get the addresses everyone sent me . . . .

Freeze data forum

I was trying to find some data on the freeze data forum and it was very difficult to navigate or find what I wanted, yet there is a mine of information there. If there was some way to organise this info into alphapbetical order it would be a goldmine, and i suspect more people would add info. As it is people seem to post the same plant over and over rathe rthan accumulating info.
