errr.... need more help!? ( 08:54:19 WedFeb 27 2002 )

ok um.... I added my personal (avatar) picture and it seems to only show up on this site.... I don't see it on mine at all... I also made a signature and I don't see that either..... :sad:

Another thing (lol) I have a question about it... In my personal profile settings I wanted to make my email address for everyone to see... but it still says private!? I even checked yes for the "show you email address?" options in the edit settings for profile.... but still private.... any suggestions? Help? :sad:

Thanks again

For the pic & sigs, for the forum they're not showing in, click on "Edit Forums" in your admin center, and choose "Edit Settings" from the pull-down menu next to the forum. And check all the things at the bottom aftfer "Allow:". :smile:

Ahh, try the e-mail profile thing again now. :smile:

Alrighty I will try all of that now, thank you again :tongue:

!! I love these boards btw (by the way)... I have never ran any type of message boards before in my life and I find it mostly really simply with your site :tongue:

Thank you for helping with the emoticons. I will let you know if they dissapear on me again.

Ok I just checked the settings of the forums like you told me to and all of the boxes under "allow" were already checked.... :ohwell:

is that how they are supposed to be? Checked?

Also on a different subject.... at the top of my pages where is shows the lists of like:

:: General Discussion :: Welcome!!
Subscribe To Newsletter

and the:

Who's Online
Stats
Memberlist
Top Posters
Search

Is there a way I can make that a little cleaner? um... nicer looking?

Yup, should be checked. Try saving changes when they're checked - it looks like the emoticons disappearing also took those settings with it. You'll want to edit your general settings too - click on "Edit Board Settings". :smile:

Yup, click on "Edit Board Template", and shift them around as you like. :smile:

For the image, edit the images in your admin center, and enter "/images/newpost.gif" for the "New" one, or one of your own. :smile:

all the "allows" are checked... Do I need to have any of this checked?:

Advert Forum:
This forum is an advert forum?
If so, require board posts before a user can post here.

Nope, don't need that one checked. :smile:

The reason it was happening was because the maximum sig length was set to 0. So it was cutting sigs off after 0 chars. I increased that to 1000 for you in your settings, and they show up now. :smile:

Have a look at "Edit Board Settings" to configure all kinds of things. :smile:

Since you changed the sig to 1000 max characters.... do you think thats the reason my picture isn't showing up on my boards also? because I have the settings blenk?

Also how does the Suspicious IP Block work? How do I know that I wont be blocking people that aren't harmful?

Yes, that's probably the reason. Try configuring your settings, and then everything should work as you like it. :smile:

If you use the suspicious IP block, it will not block any legitimate user. It only blocks people with obviously fake/spoofed IP's. :smile:

Not bothering at all- what I'm here for :wink:

That option makes users' profiles appear in your board template, rather than the profiles.bbboy.net one. :smile:

Re: errr.... need more help!? ( 10:49:59 WedFeb 27 2002 )

Thank you again hehe

On my main page in the row of my General Discussion forum... it says I have 2 posts in 2 threads.... the 2 posts I know are from you and me... I only have 1 thread in there right now. A friend of mine posted a thread there to give me the layout code that I have on the boards...... after I copyed it I deleted the thread.... so why does it say I still have 2 threads?

also, in the board settings page..... I want to set the picture/icon width and height but I don't know what to put for the px size..... I don't have any clue how big a px is lol.... what do you have for your settings for the pictures? maybe I can use the same ones you have?

Ah, should be good now. :smile:

The "posts" means "replies" really, so there's one thread with one post (reply). :smile:

I'll look into why it didn't decrease when you deleted it.

For the personal icon wudth & height, 15px should be enough, 20 if you want it a bit bigger. :smile:

And for personal pic, anywhere from 100-200 would work. :smile:

I change the setting and hit the "submit" button then it goes to the proccesing page and I see a bunch of code on top of the page... then the next page loads... I went back into the settings and it was back to the way it was before I saved them......... :ohwell:

Oops, forgot to remove that after the upgrade. :wink:

Hm, just tried setting your icon/pic sizes, and it worked for me... :smile:

Try again now, maybe it was the codee at the top.
