I like your Avatar.. I feel really old for still having a BB3 avatar.. ha

Well then get off your arse and change it!!

[JEDI]

Hi all!

I wasn't sure where to post my question, it's been awhile since I've been here!
I can't seem to change my avatar no matter what I try. I made sure that my picture was in the right format and size. On my profile when I go in to change it, it does show it is changed, then when I go to my home page or post it is my old picture (which has now become mysteriously distorted since last year). I was just wondering if someone could help.

F5 is a regular refresh. Sometimes it does work some times it won't. But CTRL-F5 actually forces your browser to download a new copy of the website/images from the webserver.

Hey Moxie, did the problem you posted about earlier in this thread resolve itself?

Hey now.. I like it.. Im just saying, it seems like forever ago..

Hey Moxie, did the problem you posted about earlier in this thread resolve itself?

It seemed after I changed the LAN settings the problem was resolved so I'm assuming that was the problem. Regardless, I haven't had any further problems connecting to Morty's.

Sometimes I get it in my head that I'm going to change my avy...but then how will people know it's me??? I rarely read the names, I just see the pic and know who it is... kinda like looking at your face but not.

when i try to log on to the chat room, i get a data execution prevention error message - any clue what to do to prevent this?

[Dade]

make sure your pop ups are set to accept for tvfanforums and that you have the latest java downloaded


if that doesnt help, someone else may have a suggestion

Are signature pictures allowed? I have looked around & no one has a siggy..

Signatures are not allowed, the signature feature is disabled.

AW, thanks for the quick reply.

I have a question about the Next Newest, Next Oldest links. When you click on them, it brings you to the first page of the thread. Why doesn't it bring you to the last page or last unread post? I'm usually surfing the sight on my iPhone and it would save some clicking if I didn't have to go back to the main page then click on the page number. Also, speaking of iPhones. How about a mobile optimized website?

[JEDI]

(Wow, I've been here forever and never used those links before!)

The short answer is that those links come programmed like that in the template.
Re-programming does not even seem to be possible just because those links use the "view" command ( &view=old or &view=new ), just like the "little orange box" link that takes you to the first new (i. e. unread) post since your last visit to a particular thread. ( &view=getlastpost )
Since both features make use of the view command, but only one instance is permitted to appear at a time, it's not possible.

Technically, there is no "last page" feature, per se.
The forum calculates page numbers based on your preferences of how many posts per page you specify in your settings and creates a personalized link based on post number within the thread as starting points for pages, generating the last page number as the link.


Going back one page and clicking on the little orange box of the next topic you wish to read is probably still your best bet for navigation.


As far as a mobile optimized website goes, Morty will have to answer that one himself. But I'm guessing that he might just wait until the people at Invision Board incorporate an add-on for it into a future upgrade at some point down the road.

Thanks for the reply Jedi. I was hoping it was something that can be fixed in settings or something, but it's not too big of a problem.

I can't get into the Survivor forum today. Anyone else having this problem and any clue as to why?

Weird. I can get into it if I click on the word "Survivor", but I can't get in if I click on the picture.

[JEDI]

That's right.
The Survivor forum description was edited last week or so, to reflect the start date of the upcoming Heroes VS. Villains season, and a typo slipped in to the forum link attached to the Survivor image at that time. (There is an extra ">" character in there.)

As you've noticed, you can still enter the forum by clicking on the link attached to the word "Survivor".

We've left word with Morty, but he's been away and should be visiting us again soon.

[jersey721]

Thanks for the explanation, Jedi. No problem as long as there's a way to get in.
