If you have questions about how to use the new forums, please post them here. Note, we are having problems right now with the photos and avatar upload/selection.

The photo upload is not working correctly either.

Also, please make sure you read the new rules! http://forums.megcab...tion=boardrules

I read the thing in the help files about how to access personal messages but I don't understand it. It said to go to the upper right hand corner where it says our username and click on "Messenger." I'm sorry, but I've looked all over and I still can't find a thing that says "Messenger" to click. The only things i can click on under my username are:
My profile
My settings
Manage friends
Manage Ignored Users

Sorry again and thank you!

Private messaging is, to my knowledge, disabled, so it shouldn't work.

The photo upload and avatar selection should be working now. Please post here if you have trouble. Note, you need to upload a photo that is 1MB or smaller. you can resize your photos at http://www.picnik.com/

I just came back from a trip and saw the changes, it's awesome! But one question: can we post pictures in our signatures? Like in other forums, we can make graphics and post them in our signatures

[the_tall_girl]

Please don't, though. To me it's the equivalent of spamming.

[ReitaBassist]

Never mind my question, I just saw the rules on signatures

[*~lifehouse_girl~*]

Are we now allowed to like post our myspace and facebooks and our IMs?
We used to not be able too....I don't know if I will, but I was just wondering.

[mitch rules!]

How can I post a spoiler but let other people know that its a spoiler before they click on it? thanks :D

[CharliePantsxxx]

^Highlight the text that is a spoiler, then click the drop-down 'other styles'. Select spoiler, and that's it :D or, you might have to select 'spoler' from the drop down menu, then enter the spoiler into the text box.

Are they going to make a movie for the mediator? I hope they do!

[Sugar Rush]

Hi sorry if this question has been asked already but i was just wondering why i'm not able to edit my topic post in the writing forums thread. I tried to edit my chapter that i just posted for my fiction piece but it wouldn't let me edit the post.

[Princess_Missy]

^I'm not sure about that one. At first, we could edit any of our posts. Then we could only edit our posts just after we had posted them. Now it seems that we can't edit them at all. The administrators might be disabling that button on purpose (I know they did before), but it may be a glitch.

Sorry, I know that wasn't particularly helpful.

Love Melissa :heartbeat:

[ilove_horsemasters]

I'm confused about how the posts are organized now? They aren't chronologically anymore.

[administrator]

They are still chronological. and we havent touched the edit button. is there a specific post you are referring to?

[Anshi]

why can't i edit the comment which I posted

I THINK you have a time limit.

[Anshi]

time limit ??
does it mean i haven't been around for a long time enough to edit my post ???

It has nothing to do with how long you've been a member. I think there's a five (I'm not actually sure) minute allowance after you've posted, which allows you to edit your post. Once that period has passed, everything you have in your post stands, and you can't change it anymore.

[Anshi]

ohk thanks a lot ^^^^ i'll keep that in mind

[CrazyClavie]

I can't get the picture in my profile to work :( it keeps telling me my file is too big (though is 6 kb big)
and I also resized it so it's well under 150 x 150 pixes

[sammyz]

have you checked the format? jpg...or something. I think the forum only allows specific formats.

Paint normally works?

[CrazyClavie]

I've tied, jpg, gift and png :( they don't work

I don't have paint 'cause I'm on a mac

[sammyz]

Is there a pic that you have that actually works?

You could upload that... and then because the file works you could delete the pic and replace it with the pic you want. Hopefully the file will be the same and you'll be able to upload it.

Other than that, I have no idea. Don't really know much about computers.

[CrazyClavie]

Figured how to make the picture work - I used Facebook Connect and it shows the picture I have on my profile there.

:) I don't know if it's ideal but it works with no hassle .
