Forum Problems & Issues

How do i delete a topic.I want to delete the Topic "Pilot boat" in any other model boats

why's that tony...........are you not happy, mate.
neil.

Well it's not that Neil it doesn't seem relevant now does it?

why not, matey...........it's as relevent as any other boat submitted, and deserves it's place unless you definately want it deleting.
can't see why though.
neil.

Ok leave it Neil. I'm redesigning the hull so when i've done it i will post it up. It's just that i'm a bit dissapointed with this build i had such high hopes for it. I going to build the hull out of balsa wood 1/16 thick two layers and give about six coats of varnish.

i see, tony........let it stand please, and then we can see the changes.
i for one will be interested as i have to go down that road soon with a model i have to build, so will be interested in your outcome.

HI LARRY HERE, i am trying to host some photos on link, but is me making mistakes ,
i choose host-file , then folder open image, this drops in box OK so far , hit host tab , wait up come 3choices i click the middle one as
shown on tutorial that's when go wrong no message to tell me to accept so it wont let me paste image to you,.
I am not IT expert CAN YOU HELP LARRY.....

hi larry, sometimes the message" to accept" doesn't always pop up...when it doesn't, i normally just right click and then paste onto the forum page anyway, and then press review to look at the picture, before proceeding to the next one.
try this, and then if not let us know.

what size are the pictures you are trying to host.
neil.

Hey larry when you get the 3 links that appear, you want the middle one, now if you click on it the whole thing will be highlighted you need to copy it, you can either click the copy button, or right click and select copy url/link from the list.

Now its copied, click in the page, the text box where your typing and press CTRL+ V this will paste the code you copied into the text, this code once posted converts to the image so everyone can see it.

If your still having issues email me the photo's, write your post and i will put the photo's in for you.

HI THANK YOU For help . still no luck had enough now to messy so leaving site ,
i have enjoyed my visit , and been nice meeting you all , but i am spending to much time getting round site
me and computers don't get on so back to the work bench.......bye LARRY...

I am afraid that our system for uploading is not user friendly for many people. This is not the fault of the forum but the Server....I think!

I have found that after you have 'copied' the middle block it's not possible to paste it on the written letter as there is not enough space for the cursor.

My answer to this little problem is to 'preview' the page and then paste it in the cleared letter section. Larry is right about the intricacies of this site as it can be tricky sometimes. But then, life is a challenge.

HI KENNY , hows the tugs just tried your suggestion no joy i have give up now site to messy ,
by the way going to Weymouth Sunday
. to get some shafts for new tug plangent thanks and cheers LARRY...

Hi Larry.

Is it THIS Saturday. I didn't know. I wanted to go as will be the last one (so I've heard)

Regarding the loading of files, it really does work as RR says.

Once you have clicked COPY and then RIGHT clicked on the middle line it will be stored in your computer ready to be left clicked on to your letter.





..............................What I just done.

Something it won't do is space a load of blanks in front of your typing, so I used dots above, but that's not really important is it.

If you copy the link for the photo.. click the photo upload button again and the uploader vanishes so you can post the link to the page.

Then click the photo uploader button again to bring it back up, to upload the next one.

But if people are having issues, i would suggest using photbucket.
Like every other forum were limited to free storage space for photo uploading, I can't be expected to cough up £1000+ a year for a decent photo host & storage space for 79 users, sorry it sound quite abrupt, but there are other programs out there that can do personal photo's for free which allow for your own management and not left up to me to carry & foot the bill.

To name a few....

photobucket

Flickr

Yahoophoto's

Facebook

image shack

and the list goes on.

I think that we should all be grateful that the forum gives you a photo host with unlimited bandwidth and storage for every user that joins, its a bit tricky at first to use but once you get the hang of it, its no more complicated then any other photo host out there, and this one at least allows you to do things on a single page with out having to flip between pages.

I appreciate that not everyone is technically minded with computers hence my offer to have photo's emailed to me and I'll do the work for you, i know everyone knows how to use email.... or you couldn't have signed up..... I can't be much fairer then that can I?

Sorry guys if there were better fixes for things (that don't cost me a fortune) then i would be happy to implement them but try to be realistic i'm not a walking cash machine like my wife thinks & i have a life outside the forum i can't be here 24/7.

The moderators and Myself have tried (and continue to do so) to make everyone's life's as easy as possible, written out instruction sheets and so forth to aid you, were only a message away to aid people with problems or issues your encountering. The forum is new, (39 days old in fact) so at least work with me until i can resolve problems like this.

I can't stop you leaving that's your choice, your free to come and go as you please but at least be fair in your judgement of my hard work to build the forum and the moderators for keeping it going!

RR

larry, you seem to be able to post on model boats ok, but that is a heck of a lot harder system to use than here.
sorry you are leaving, but to be blunt, the excuse is a little strange, to say it mildly.
sorry.

Another way round this issue is to click the "Host image" button a second time and the dialogue box disappears allowing full access to the edit screen.



just my 2p worth

Thanks for the info.

After various attempts to post photos, I found if you drag the middle line across to the text box it works OK.
Pete

now that I didn't know ! what operating system are you using pjg ?

Windows XP...try it ...its much easier than other method
Pete

cool same as me I suspect that some of the instructions could be made easier for some operating systems

Cracking idea Barry
