Is this too small?
Well, here's my first post in the new and improved Pet Talk since my computer died on Saturday....this is awesome! And so easy to use! Now if I could just figure out the avatar thing and learn to post an attachment, I'd be a goddess in my own eyes. ;) Great work, Paul and Karen! PS: I too have been suffering with a winter cold that has stuck around for the last two weeks, so I know how you feel Paul. Put your feet up, get some hot tea, and take a snooze now--you've earned it! :D
Thanks Aly.. It worked perfectly...max. size is 60x60!! Almost all the smaller ones I found were 80x80!!:( You're a dear!! Thanks..And love to Lolly, ReeceMan and Shiloh!
Yes, the maximun size for an avatar is 60x60 - we made it that size so you can use the "Pet Preview icons" from the home page if you wanted.
If you have an image that's too big that you REALLY want to use, email it to me, and I can quickly remake it to size (as can anyone with Photoshop or a similar program.)
Been playing with my Picture It Express software. Finally got the resizing down! Thanks Karen. And you guys did a fantastic job! Thank you for all of your hard work. It is very much appreciated. Hope Paul is feeling better!
By the way Sandra, love your "title" or whatever it is! :D
:D :D :D That's a fact!!
A job well done.
I love it, now I just have to get use to all this fancy stuff.
WOW! I love the New Pet Talk! It's GREAT!:D Yeah, There is alot of Fancy stuff, but it looks great~~
Karen I'm checking in as a new member and I lost my old membership, I think it has to do with Jackiesdaisy and jackiesdaisy1935, don't know how to get to my regular old Jackie.
Go back to the home page and log out. Then you need to log in with jackiesdaisy1935 as the username. If you don't remember the password, don't fill one in. It will ask you if you've forgotten your password, and if you check "Yes" it will then email your password to you.Quote:

The old system let you change the name that was displayed, but your "username" was always still "jackiesdaisy1935"
Email me any questions if this doesn't help ...
GREAT JOB!!! I love it! Thank you sooo much, Karen and Paul! You two did a wonderful job! Thanks! :) ;) :) :cool:
Tonight out of the clear blue I started getting e-mail messages!!!! How do I shut this off? :eek:
In user cp, and edit options, about in the middle of the screen Use 'Email Notification' by default? just turn this off. I had to do same thing.Quote:

I did check off the email default and I'm still getting email notifications to all my postings:( Help! And Chuck, how did you do color change and font size simultaneously????
Please help me, I need help on posting the avatar and how to change all posts so that it appears in our own time zone.
It will certainly take some time for me to get use to the New Pet Talk
I tried to add an avatar but mine are too big even using the thumbnails from my webshots photos. Anyone know how to size them down?
Oh what a relief - I'm not the only one having problems!!! Great looking new site though isn't it?
IMPROVING!!!!
I can size them down for you Pam. Just post the pic you want to use on a message here and I'll dl it and resize it for you :)
To resize any picture save it to your hard drive. Bring up a photo editor such as Microsoft Photo editor or a package similar. Look for the resize option.
In Microsoft photo editor go to the Image toolbar and choose the resize option. This brings up the resize window. Make sure your UNITS are in Pixels. If not then change this first. Then make your width 60 and your height 60. You will only get 60 X 60 if you are resizing a perfect square. If not then it will be something like 60 X 54. As long as neither are more than 60 you are okay.
Save the image and then go into the AVatar section and upload it to Pet Talk.
Happy Avataring! :rolleyes:
Pam, mine had to be sized down using editing software. Do you have any installed on your computer, e.g. Picture It! Express by microsoft? Mine came installed on my computer, just can't get it to accept resizing in jpg format!!:( I know Candy would be happy to help out if you pick a pic! She helped me:)
I'm sooo confused :( I tried to edit my response to POTD to say "now i want a bunny etc... but when i tried to add/change the last comment to read i want add a bunny NOW" ..and have the last remark in bold it didn't seem to work. but i am rather computer illiterate i admit. i will keep trying...I'LL NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN maybe :rolleyes: :confused: :o laurie
wowsers...it worked on this :confused: :D laurie
Yippie it works! Thanks everybody! ;)
Did you know that is actually a list of ALL members? A total of 129 pages, with about 51 pages of members who have never posted?
Chuck I just noticed your "Municipal Fat Cat." Hope Spencer is not reading over your shoulder as you post. :D I noticed a little of the clarity is lost when downsizing but then again I almost need a magnifying glass to see it anyway! :)
Charles,
It's so great that you have a pc buddy. Be sure to
teach AJ about all the new changes to Pet Talk. LOL.
Feel free to ask him questions b/c we all know that
cats have all the answers anyway, don't they ?
But seriously, I have a question about how to
discontinue getting "reply to post" messages sent
to my e-mail address. I've clicked on the link given
to discontinue to "register for posts", but still get
a reply in e-mail. Not a Big thing really, but I don't
want to get a reply that someone else has posted
to a subject that I've already posted to...
HELP , what am I not doing that I should be??
There is another explanation here in 'general' (started by Tatsxxx?) that might be clearer, but I'll give it my best shot.Quote:

1) go into 'user cp' and find 'user options' (should be 3rd tab from left if I got the name right.) Go down to the 6th question and click 'no'. Then go to the bottom of that screen and click 'update options' or something like that.
2) If you still get emails, check the bottommost box on the first page when you enter "user cp". Delete every thread listed that you don't want emails for. (for me, that was all of them.)
Hope this helps. GOOD LUCK!
O.K. guys, I think I've got it now.
Thanks for the help. Liz.
OOOOPS. I'm still getting the "reply to posts"
e-mail. PLEASE HELP ME SOMEBODY !!!!
Me too!! :confused:
Gee, Thanks sandra,just got another one.LOL
Do you get this little audible" bong" sound
whever you get a new e-mail message ? Think I'll
just turn down the speakers...LOL. *******************HELP*************************** *
Where do the ratings come from?? Do the monitor people put them up for ones with good info or something??
user cp -> edit options ->Quote:

"Use 'Email Notification' by default?
Using this option emails you whenever someone replies to a thread that you have participated in." check that it says NO here. that should work, we hope!
Casper & Kitty,
Nope, just checked my profile & I do have a NO
for the default option. If the default means I will
get an e-mail , maybe I should click YES & see what
happens. If I could see a reference book on this
software, I might be able to figure it out myself.
Until then, any ideas are welcome. Thank you. Liz.
Well it's happened...I officially LOVE the new PetTalk software :D Just took a few days to get used to, but it's super cool now! Love all the new o p t i o n s Thanks SO much, Karen and Paul!!! Good job!
And Lizbud...as long as you said "no" in your user cp; email notification, you will only get email when someone posts to a topic that was started BEFORE you changed your user cp email notification. I get email too, but only to this topic, since I changed the option only after I posted in this topic after I had been bombarded with emails.
Note: you will continue to get emails on threads you logged into prior to opting out until you clear the bottom right-hand box on "user cp", too.
Uh, does this make any sense???
This will take some getting use to!:D ;)
Well, one by one I'm losing my signature photos from Webshots. Guess I should try reposting with new Webshots addresses???:confused:
Another question!!! How are you guys posting animated images, e.g. Sleipnir's avatar (horse) and clapping smileys??? I know I could upload it from my computer as an attachment. But to post it from the IMG mode it needs an address, e.g. from Webshots, etc., right? Problem is, Webshots will not recognize or accept animated images!!! And the answer is......:D Also, I'm so frustrated with Webshots, tried to resign up at Photopoint. But I can't find them anymore! Anyone know if they shutdown, or their correct address?? I've been trying www.photopoint.com
ONE MORE THING! Anyone else having trouble navigating using the "back" button? I used to be able to move around with it. Now, when I use "back," I get "page expired." I have to scroll to the bottom and click on Pet Talk and then the topic catagory.

The back button work fine for me, but when I've posted, it takes me back through the window where I type in your post, as well as every other step. If you are using Netscape, you can use the "Go" menu to skip over those steps to wherever you were before ...Quote:
