Delete old pic (tick delete box) and click on 'save' button.

Then load new pic (by clicking browse and loading from your computer's picture library rather than flickr) and click save again.

I did the same thing earlier (crop and resize on flickr before saving it back to my PCs picture library) it worked.
 
John, I have to use the "login one time only" change of password every time to get on the site! Is this is a known problem please? Can you please fix this on my account if so?

Thanks in advance.

Are you using your username instead of your email address as was the case previously?

Thats exactly what i did Chebby. Hence i decided to keep the *** paper makers on overtime instead of pulling my hair out. Ok im not the brightest bulb in the chandelier when it comes down to desktops but i must be doing something oceangoingly wrong somewhere along the lines.
 
Anyone else notice that sometimes the font-size changes while typing, so a post can end up being a mix of normal and very wee sizes?

BTW, great job overall, JD. Ta 🙂

I've tried a few times today with no luck. Losing the will to live😛 but have another crack tomorrow.
 
Couple of things from me:-

1. Search - if I want to recall an earlier post I made, I usually search on my own name and, in the old site, I could change the selection from Relevance to Date and it would list my posts, from today and that doesn't seem to happen now. Also, the date is no longer displayed when the list is returned as it was on the previous incarnation. Given as there's no means for me to check my own posts from within my own profile (e.g. "find all posts by record_spot") that makes things tricky.

2. Post count - I seem to have dropped back to around 30-odd, but then it changes to show my more usual 5300-odd. Odd!

3. Speed - site seems slow at times.

4. Appearance (Google Chrome) - appears a little cluttered on the forum home page. Might be the browser, as not tried with any others.
 
Mr D:

It'd be nice if the 'Online' button turns 'Green' when logged in. And, 'Red' when logged out. And, the button can be made a little smaller too. Can it be done, please?

🙂

It's a detail tweak: it was under discussion on Friday afternoon for later examination.

Well as you can see i've managed to upload a lousy foatie of prolly the best TT out there at the min. But i am still at a loss why i cant get the one i want to show to upload. even though it is ( i think,lol) well within the file size limits etc.

Ah yes, that'll be the one, but I thought we were discussing removing the online/offline blob, not the word itself.
 
Sorry JD, resized pic's in Photobucket but no joy. i'm not sure though if they are below 30kb, i cant find any app or info in Photobucket regarding kb size. If anyone know how to check please let me know.

Is it possible a single post can deal with 30kb's or less?

The reason i say this is because some single pic's are up but 'group pics' of 2 or more aren't showing?

What is your avatar anyway shooter69?

Thats an old one idc.

It's of a broken up record in puzzle sized pieces, it's my shot at irony regarding the state of digital music.
 
i'm still seeing einstein as my avatar while using my pc, although my preffered avatar "tuco" is what i see when i log on using my android phone. i've cleared my cache and cookies etc, and have tried to delete albert and insert tuco as per the instructions.

does anyone have any idea why this may be? cheers...
