If you need a place to "put" your photo's to post them, eMail me at [email]support@ovationfanclub.com[/email] and I will upload them and give you a URL to use. | ||

If you see this message after you made a post, but do not get returned to the thread, don't fret (excuse the pun). When that prompt displays, your post has posted already. Just click BULLETIN BOARD and choose your topic again and you will see your post. This is not a fault in the software but rather a communication issue. Basically, without a bunch of tech talk, The BBS lost track of your browser for a moment. It's the price we pay for a few million people on the net at any given time using a protocal that was inplimented (and basically unchanged since) in the 60's | ||

If you right-click on either the "Bulletin Board" or the "Get Plugged In" logo (see FAQ for more details) on the navigation pane, your browser will provide a list of options. Choose "open in new window." Once the new page is open you can bookmark it or add it to your "favorites." | ||

Allow members to send you private messages? and Be notified by email when someone sends you a private message? [ April 02, 2002: Message edited by: Mr. Ovation ] | ||

Joined: December 2001 Posts: 7210 Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Update: POST A PICTURE IN YOUR MESSAGE Actually this is quite simple by just clicking the button that is at the bottom of where you edit. If you need a place to "put" your photo's to post them, insure you are logged in to the message board. Select "LINKS" from the menu on the left, then select "MEMBER GALLERY." Currently after upload, you will only be provided a link to your uploaded file for referencing in messages, but soon you will be able to upload pictures to a gallery. This "upload" part of the functionality was in place, so I thought I would share it to help those that do not have their own web space to place pictures. | ||
