The new look for the forum is great, but what happened to everyone's signature picture? I liked seeing them.
never mind, I saw Adam's post and will update my signature.

Ken and Mark:
Click on your profile (next to logout) at the top of the page. Find your signature picture string in your profile, highlight it and copy it. Return to any page (I think) and click on Settings (one of the new Icons at the top of the page), scroll down and find the signature field in there. Paste your old signature pic string in that field, then replace all of the (|)'s with ([ & ]). Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to do this.
Let me know if you need more help.
[QUOTE=mark smith]i have'nt been able to get my signature picture to work yet?[/QUOTE]
Mark. You were close! I went into your profile and updated your signature for you. I used the same one you had on the other forum. Also, you didn't have the "Always attach my signature to posts" option turned on. When you don't have that turned on, you need to click the "Show Signature" box in the Post Message form. You signature should show up in your next post.

Adam,
I don't know what is wrong, but I have tried this so many times now that I lost count. I've followed all the instructions for copying my signature from the old profile, but I still get no picture?
I'm sure it's just me, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I also copied my signature picture into my storage space from the forum, but I don't know how to access that either.
Help!

I fixed it for you.
You were close, but you had a few extra spaces in there, and your closing tag was missing the /

I fixed yours too. I made it a clickable link, because your image is REALLY large. If you want to scale it down you can actually include it in your sig. If you need help with scaling it down, you could ask Norsky.

Hey gang...
instead of posting test messages, you can use the "Signature Preview" link in the settings page.
Just below to the right of the Signature setting box, there is a link that says "Signature Preview". Click that to see what your signature will look like in a post. If it is wrong, just modfiy the Signature box and preview it again until you get it right.
If after you try and try again and don't get it. Let us know and we'll help.

[QUOTE=Bob Griffiths]
Ok I still have not found the time to play with adding my pictures yet
And I do understand that this new software makes things easier on Adam So I will not use any profanity...
BUT I really liked the "format" of the old Forum update that I received
via e-mail ...have not seen an UPDATE via e-mail yet...and the notifications I get via e-mail about a post in a forum I am watching
are so damn confusing .. even clicking on the link is not a help..
Sorry to bitch so much...But I honestly think the new software is a royal pain ... easier to just log on to the site to see what was posted the e-mail notifications that I get 5-6 of a day are almost worthless...not exactly user frinndly

Bob,
There are still some issues with clicking a link in an email and being taken directly to the post.
There used to only be one login... to all of C3VR.com. Now there are two. One for the forum area and one for the rest of the site. I have tried to automated the logining in to the forum area so members are not burdened with logging in twice.
So what is happening is when you click on a link in the email, it takes you to the forum area directly... which then attempts to automatically log you into both places.... but by the time you get fully logged in, it forgets what post you were trying to read, so it takes you back to the main forum page.
I need to fix this and will do so as soon as I have time.
I am still trying to get Shark Bytes out.
Sorry for the temporary inconvenience. I am working as hard as I can to make sure everyone transitions smoothly and that all the kinks are worked out so everyone can enjoy the new forums.
Please be patient.
Thank you!
