Any chance we can get a graphic image to come up automaticly with every post - kind of like our signature line? I've seen this in other sites and think it would be great if we could get that here. My son says they are called "avatars".

You should be able to add the HTML to your sig line.

Yup, as KP said, login and use the Manage/Change option to add an image reference to your Sig line.

KP,

Can't you run Photoshop or something and shrink it down?

You have to put the jpg image in an html tag like this:

[img src=http://photo.msn.s8.com/MS8zLzAvMS8xMDMwLzE1NS8zMi9udVpqcW9uX2x0ZHV3dElKOEIwZURn/82cddb9504da9f224a6f96a9c3b94e2c/clbk=HcZNnT9kkUjF4LirLDpDkmC3g!zJAlYseERbpvok6SQMIAMdqOwPiQVwJnUnGJ2hovpgbkrjjWE$/jpg]

where the []s are really angle brackets: > and <

add this to beginning (but change the [ to a < and ] to >):
[img src="

and this to the end:
"]

see?

replace the [ in your code with a <" and the ] with a ">

Make sure to add the quotes!

This should go under support and feedback - let's keep Inmate Central clean!

Speaking of clean, I can't wait 'til someone starts putting up nudie pix as their signature line. What an incentive to read their posts!

Rod,

I think this is a small bug in one way or another. If I go to the gallery and click on a Members link I see their album. No problem. Now I click on the Invitation link you have put up, and it takes me to a page that says I need an invite. If I try to click on one of the Members links on THIS page, it fails with "Directory Listing not allowed".

If I hit Backspace to go to the previous page, I can still use the Members links there.

If the "You need an invitation" page had no gallery links it would be OK.

Regards,
Geoff

 

Spelling out HTML tags with Angle Brackets, posted on August 31, 2002 at 14:12:00

Hi,

We hit this problem quite a bit when we try to explain how to use HTML tags. To prevent the engine from interpreting the angle brackets we often use a different type of bracket, and then tell the reader to substitute angle brackets. That is, we say ... please type:

[IMG SRC="http://www.foo.com/bspears_naked.jpg"]

and replace [ ] with < >

One way to avoid having to say this, is to put a space between the angle bracket and the tag data. It will show up OK, as in:

< IMG SRC="http://www.foo.com/bspears_naked.jpg" >

But the reader may misinterpret and stick in the spaces.

I found another way and that's to use <STRONG> and </STRONG> tags on either side of the each angle bracket, thus preventing interpretation by the HTML engine and not needing a space. I had to use this technique to type what I just did. Sneaky eh?

So I can say ... please type:

<IMG SRC="http://www.foo.com/bspears_naked.jpg">

Regards,
Geoff

It just doesn't understand undefined variables. Funny, Explorer just calls the current page. It should be fixed.

Dispose of that Microsoft junk and get a real browser that adheres to the standards.

Well, at least get Opera for parallel testing Rod.

Mr. Bagsgroove, get the oil, and I'll be ready for my close-up!


you can do it, you can do it,
yes you can, if Brinkmann can't do it,
NO ONE CAN! (nice sentiment, but not exactly truthful!)
Well you get the idea anyway.

It still downloads the entire 406KB and then the browser scales the image to your height and width parameter.
