Hello,

Yesterday, My quote thing was "What would MacGyver do", and now, without me even changing it, it says "Please Upload all Images to Simviation!" My picture also changed to blank, without me even touching it. Why is this?

Any help would be apprieciatated,
Michael

Linking images to other sites is against the regs... Wink

Linking images to other sites can slow the forums down, so we're required to simply upload it to the SimV server to post images.

Hi Michael,

Not supposed to link images as it slows the site down for everyone, so the moderators just deleted the link and left you a friendly reminder to upload your image to the simv server. Here's the link to the upload page. http://www.simviation.com/yabbupload.html

All you have to do is upload your image (make sure it is within the size limits) and then it will provide you a link that you can use to display your image.

All of this was explained in the text when you registered for your account. Wink

And this post should be posted in the Site Feedback section.

To be fair, did any members read the regs before joining this forum.. and any other forum for that matter? I didn't I must admit.
For the record I didn't change the avatar, but would have if I'd seen it first.
Michael, the above members are all correct, linking images does slow the forum down for other users which is why the admins ask that all images are uploaded to the SimV server.

If you'd like to send me your image, or a link to your image I'll gladly upload it for you and place it in your avatar.. as would any other mod/admin. We're here to make the site run smoother, not "Police" the forum and will do all we can to help.

Enjoy your stay here

Quite alright... Wink

It's been so long since I joined that I couldn't remember if I had or not, but Pete has little reminders all over the forums

Ok, thanks guys. I apologize for the image, and for putting this post in the wrong section. Embarrassed

Thanks for the help.

P.S: I will pay more attention next time! Wink

Been a while but i think I honestly only read half and was skimming. Grin

I too linked my avatar and put posts in the wrong forums for a while. Got used to SimV though,

Michael, one more thing....unfortunately you'll have to re-upload your avatar, as it's way over the weight limit of 10k.

If you need help with this don't hesitate to ask..

Download irfanview (if you don't have it) http://www.irfanview.com/ and install and open your picture in it, then go to save it but before you hit save where you are choosing to save it make sure that the file format is Jpg or J-peg (it should be above the filename) once you have done that there should be a menu on the top right side... the is a bar at the top of this menu... moving this bar will increase and decrease the size/ quality (sometimes) of the picture after you save... play around with this untill you get it right Wink

Another reason for not linking to images hosted outside of SimV's server is that it is possible for that image file to get hacked or replaced with an "inappopriate" one ( ...if you catch my drift Wink

). If the image is hosted by SimV, at least we are in control of the security of the image files. If it is hosted elsewhere, we are then depending on the integrity of someone elses file security.
