Last post I saw from him he was tossin' a hissy fit about the site changes and complainin' about not being adaptable.
he is okay. does not like the new site much like 34 said.
He'll be back ( I Hope). We all hate change , heck we wouldn't be in Texas if I had not have changed my wife's thinking about our future. **) **)
It sure would be a shame to lose such a good contributor over something so
small and workable.
Hey HOSS, come on back we and the Random Stuff thread miss ya.:CRY:
On another site I frequent there is a big to do about the site NOT being updated. Go Figure.
can never make everybody happy at the same time.
What's sad is that as I recall from Hoss' post his complaint was that his bookmarks did not work anymore, and that the screen that came up was not the "normal" screen he was used to. It was pointed out very early following the update that the old URL had to be changed, which is a simple matter of using your search engine to "find" CHR, adding that address to your favorites or 'bookmarking' that URL and deleting the old one. If the name is funky, right click the name, select 'rename' and call it whatever one is comfortable seeing in the list for CHR. Navigation on the site is very nearly the same, if not identical, to what it was "before". Sorry to see anyone leave the forum because of this software upgrade, because Brent has done a great job making the changes minimal to none.
I will admit the first time I seen the new site I was wondering what the he(( are they doing... But after a few times it realy is easier than the old one. The only problem I have if I want to post a picture from a folder I can't bring them up.. I'm sure its somthing I'm doing and will eventualy figure it out. Sure wouldn't leave the forum for that, but like Barb said you can't please everyone all the time.
Charlie, the picture process confused me at first, too - it's just enough different at the first steps to confuse us. Hit Reply, then "Go Advanced". From there you can type your text, and when you're ready to add a picture scroll down to the "Additional Options" box, and in the middle, "Manage Attachments". The box that comes up is the major difference - if the picture you want to add has been previously uploaded to CHR the picture file name should be in one of the "question mark boxes" and you can just drag it to the "Attachments" area immediately below to attach it to your message, but if not then you need to find the file in your folders. Look to the upper right and click "Add Files" which brings up a new, smaller box and at the bottom of that box click "Select Files". Now you just find your Pictures folder, find the file you want to add, and click it to add to the list, then at the bottom of that small box click "Upload Files" and you're done. One new feature that I really like is in that "Attachments" box, lower right where it says "Insert Inline". That lets you insert pictures in your text stream anywhere you want, just by positioning your cursor in that spot with each item attached. If you preview the post you can also go back and move them around, unlike the old way where they all were at the bottom of the post, regardless. Here's a picture that was on my desktop from another time.Quote:

What's even more frustrating is that he did find "us" and only had to resave the link / add to favorites! I did enjoy his thread(s)!Quote:

yes I get the size and what my P/C has numbered my pictures... Other sites I go to instead of a ? there is the picture so you know what your doing without having to go back to my p/c and see what it is.
nope I see the number from my photos in my personal P/C album if I don't know what that is then that dosen't help me. before I could go to manage attachments and I'd see pictures and could repost them Now I see only big ? with numbers that don't help at all.
I am very sorry to ask this question.To me it does sound kind of dumb after you have explained it already,but I can't try what you guys are talking about on this windows 98.I am going to try to post some pixs on a public library computer when I get a chance.
Does this mean I can just copy and paste to at thread from my photobucket account??.
I post all my pics from Photobucket. Just copy the code & paste it in the message box. I do that because some of the sites I go to have different procedures for uploading pics. & the copy & paste from PB works universally, makes it easy to remember.
Cool.Thank you for that.
