| EU-FREAKING-REKA ! | |
| [member=19]KathySky[/member]: After you've added your ignored | |
| goobers like you did, you have go to your | |
| Profile, "Look and Layout" page, & check the box, "Hide | |
| messages posted by members on my ignore list." | |
| Then select "Change Profile" button in lower left corner of | |
| page. | |
| I did that for you: and although I can still see your username, | |
| I dont see your avatar or text of your message. | |
| Pls let me know if it works for you ! | |

| Re adding attachments: | |
| ARgh! | |
| There's a dropdown menu that provides several options: end of | |
| post expandable thumbnail; inline expandable thumbnail; etc. | |
| Given that I've mucked it up everytime I've tried to modify | |
| attachment size, a weird error msg appears in my comment after I | |
| post. | |
| I'm usually trying to decrease the size of the attached image so | |
| that it's not huuuge in the posted comment. | |
| What the H am I doing wrong ? What's the correct sequence of | |
| actions here ? | |

| Choose the file you want to attach first, and then choose | |
| "inline thumbnail" or whatever they call it. If you change the | |
| attachment type first, it won't work. | |
| There are a few bugs in the system. | |

| Is there any security reason not to post a scanned photo from | |
| one's own computer files? | |
| I've seen that people often use snap fish or other online type | |
| of photo storage. Why do they do this, rather than just posting | |
| a picture directly from their own computer? | |

| Not a security reason. Generally format/size limits. Posting a | |
| link gets you whatever the max or allowable format types of the | |
| photo storage site, whereas a direct upload here might not | |
| support the size or format. And if you can�t fiddle with those | |
| things on your own easily enough, it�s a simple workaround. | |

| Also if you post it from your own computer, the image is only | |
| visible on the forum when your computer is on and available for | |
| internet requests from the outside. So you'd need a fixed IP | |
| address so your link wouldn't always be changing, a computer | |
| that's up pretty much all the time, and a gateway that allows | |
| requests from outside (which is a potential security risk, at | |
| least it's another doorway that you'd have to watch). | |

| Note that this is only true if you're posting it as a link to | |

| about which is uploading directly (as an attachment) here. | |

| I can't find where the different categories of posters are | |
| listed, i.e. how many posts get one to a specific level. | |
| Specifically, I thought that a guest/member needed to post at | |
| least 5 times in order to see certain threads, such as thread of | |
| the day. | |
| Am I wrong on this? | |
