Unable to upload image for my signature
I thought I'd post the question here in case there is a simple solution to my problem.
I have added a textual name in my signature area - Vanessa - but I can't get a small image to appear beneath it.
I created a personal album first but when I tried to upload my image (saved on my laptop) I got an SQL error message, telling me to contact the Board Administrator. When I click on the GALLERY button, my album is shown but a blank image icon is shown with a red cross on it.
Do certain permissions have to be allocated to new members, or am I doing something wrong?
Any help appreciated.

If you have a Flickr or Dropbox or the like account, you can always upload your image there and wrap it in "img" tags like so:
Code: Select all

Sorry for that.
It's good to know it wasn't me being a bit silly

I don't have any external accounts like that, but maybe I need to look into setting something up in the meantime

The gallery is having a problem uploading images. Our administrator has contacted the author of the gallery extension and asked for a resolution to the problem, it's in his hands now and we wait for the software fix from him, sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: Unable to upload image for my signature
When you post an image from Flickr you just select the image, click the share arrow at the bottom, select bbcode, select the 1024 size and copy the text. Then post it!
This is my M13 image!

Re: Unable to upload image for my signature
I couldn't get Flickr to show my image properly. It was originally saved as a PNG to retain the transparent background, but for some reason the coding kept changing it to a JPG after uploading it to Flickr.
Anyway, my partner Sophia knows someone who has some web space and they allowed me to upload the image to their server. Voila!
I chose an image representation for the constellation Virgo, which is my birth Star Sign.

Re: Unable to upload image for my signature
If you have some Microsoft Onedrive cloud storage space you can create a bbcode from there as well. Probably Google Drive too but I don't know that one.

I don't tend to use any cloud storage services, not really trusting them.
For my purposes, I store all my photos on my hard drive and backup onto an external drive.
It's only really an issue (as I've just found out ) when you want to share any photos on Forums such as this one.

Butterfly..a trick I learned very recently to get attention a little more directly, is to type [mention]Butterfly Maiden[/mention] then click on the name and it will appear in red if it worked correctly. I believe hitting the preview button would show if it did or not. Then submit. You would definitely know then.Butterfly Maiden wrote: ↑Thu May 14, 2020 6:42 am Thanks Graeme.

I don't really like too much attention. I just wanted the Virgo image for my Star sign (little things, amuse little minds I suppose... )
