MEMBERS helping MEMBERS: General Help and Assistance Thread

[Deejay435]

You go "advanced" search and type key word as Prometheus. At the bottom left of the screen, you change it from "show results as threads" (the default) to "show results as posts" (which will bring them up as individual posts. You can then, on the right hand side, select which sub forums you want to search, or specific members, if you are thinking of a certain post or area.

Awesome thanks!

Can someone PM a list of the text for the Smilies and some of the other attributes that are on the options when posting a reply, including if possible, the indenting.

For example : D = That's about the only one I can remember.

HyperCaz helped with the sig one so I don't need that.

Most of the post buttons don't work for me since the server change. I have to type everything in text format.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

To add to TechnoWraith's list, some handy formatting tags.

[URL]http://link.goes.here.com[/URL]

[URL="http://link.goes.here.com"]link[/URL]

[URL="http://link.goes.here.com"][img]http://image.as.a.link/your_own_pic.jpg[/img][/URL]

Replace the text in between the quotes "" and after the http:// with your own web addresses, image hosts, etc..

Indent tags.

The all important spoiler tags.

No need to remove any spaces. Just copy and paste them into a plain text document.

Thank you very much TechnoWraith and Missster.Freeman. TechnoWraith I tried to green you but GW wouldn't let me.

I really appreciate it. The format looks pretty basic where I can figure out some of the other characters.

I figure I just need to wait patiently while they work some of the issues out so in the meantime this is fantastic!!!

Okay, I did a quick search, and I don't think this has been asked before (sorry if it has).

How do you create a rotating sig?

yes

this is posted at the site

PLEASE NOTE - Due to software issues, we are working on a new system. Some old rotations may no longer work. Contact us if you require assistance at help[AT]randomimage.net

But it's not just older rotations, that's the problem. My rotation, which I only created about 3 weeks ago, only worked for the first 3 days and started working again at the end of this week. It's a very temperamental site. It's probably a lot more reliable to create your own php script, but that's really difficult. At least for an idiot like me.

exactly what happened to me. its been tempermental for a while. just thought i'd mention it.

I wasted a whole afternoon trying to get one of those php things to work for a rotation when random went down months ago, talk about complicated and the worse thing was the person who created it keep saying how easy it was to use and you should have no problems following it... yeah right!

Random has been better of late but they still seem to be upgrading the site so you get the little cross in the box sometimes. I wonder why there are apparently no other sites like Random out there, I did a search and got nothing, yet there are loads of image hosting sites like photo-bucket.

Can you get more than 100 PMs storage space? Or is that the highest it'll go?

[Pharaoh Atem]

i think that's the limit

[Tracy Jane]

I think Sky has 200, but she has ten thousand posts and she's a mod!
