Hi, just wondering if we could please have a Progress section in the forum like the Maintenance one? Obviously it hasn't come up yet because Progress is fairly new, but Noflubba pointed out that she'd like somewhere just for Progress discussion and I'd like to have something like that available to me when I go onto Progress too :)

Cheers

Why is my picture so small?

Meekmo — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:40:20 GMT

Hi,

I was wondering whether someone could help me with upload my pic to my profile.

I notice that mine is a lot smaller in proportion to others out there in the forums. I have tried uploading the same image via the Avarta(?) and via the personal pic but neither of them seem to do it?

Has someone else had the same issue and found out how to fix it?

I want a good photo too! :D

specific area for challenges..

Weightloss_Demon — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 08:12:39 GMT

Hi,

Just a thought, I dont know if anyone else finds it frustrating, but I like the challenges that other TFers post on the forums, however, it is sooooo frustrating to find them a week or so later when you want to post something on them, its even hard to find the challenges in the first place..

could we please have an area specific for challenges, just like the discussion, wkly weighins, fallen of the wagon etc...

pls, pls, pls....

Keeping a chart of weight loss not as signature

MaggieNT — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 21:05:34 GMT

Is there anywhere on my control panel that I can keep a chart of my progress without having to put it into my signature. I've tried the notepad but that doesn't seem to stay. My signature seems too long. Thanks if anyone knows this.

updating my control panel

Chrissie4goal — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 07:49:55 GMT

Hi,

I am having trouble pasting the blinkies to my signature, I have saved as and then tried to paste the image but the little arrow does not appear so I can paste. also how do I clear my folders, the message says that I need to clear my messages because no one can forward me mail.

thanks

Pinning a post.

lizzybellz — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 10:42:32 GMT

Hi,

I have noticed over the last month or so a lot more fellas logging on and the first thing they ask is-are there any other blokes on here? May I suggest we provide a post that is pinned and clearly states its for the fellas so they can offer the right kind of support, etc. to each other? Otherwise they just get lost in the posts by us women :P

Also will save time for them trauling through the forum trying to find other lads.

Cheers :D

Folder Space and deleting messages

MaggieNT — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:46:16 GMT

Thanks if you can help.

Animated avvies

Download — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 13:10:50 GMT

Hey there :) I'm having a bit of trouble and was wondering if I can get some help. I tried to update my avvie to a new one, and it won't animate on the TF forum. I've tried uploading it from my machine directly and also from photobucket (where it's animated fine when veiwed in firefox or exploder) and it doesn't move. I'm baffled!

I had a moving gif working fine before, so I have no idea why several different other ones won't work. It's the right size and the gif itself isn't that large so I can't work it out!

Copy and paste is closing down my browser

Jenderella — Mon, 04 May 2009 15:26:22 GMT

Hey all

This has been giving me grief for a few weeks now and i've had enough! I used to be able to use my word program, using copy/paste, to write detailed personals etc., into my selected forum.

One day...being a blondie....i hit that little link up the top of the message pad here that says IFCode. Ever since then i haven't been able to insert a word document into my forum posts. It just shuts down my whole browser. Not just the TF pages, the whole darn thing. Its very frustrating. Any advice??

cant copy and paste my ticker

feel my hips again — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 09:59:55 GMT

I having an extremely blonde day....but with quite a few attempts i cant get my ticker to display...??Someone please help!!:)

Private Messages - Sent Items not Saving to Sent Items foler

Vixxsin ~ Take 2 ~ — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 19:35:04 GMT

I also noticed that I was at my limit 50 messages, but when I sent the messages, it did say message sent successfully, just didnt save to my Sent Items box, even after ticking the appropriate box, does it mean it still has gone through?

Thanks!!

Really huge long signatures....

jabbathehut — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 18:41:20 GMT

Hi, I hope I don't offend anyone here :blush:
But does anyone else find the some of the really really long signatures with half a dozen glittery icons really distracting and make the forum really hard to read?
I'm having trouble reading threads because it seems I have to scroll down forever when the post was just one line....
does anyone else find them annoying or is it just me? :blush:

Problems with PM's not being received.

M J — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 16:32:55 GMT

Hello there,

I was just wondering if someone could please advise me if there is any way of checking if PM's are working? I have had an on line friend who has been trying to PM me all week and i haven't received any of them. She is a friend in need during a tough time and I feel as though I have let her down.

I hope there is a way of checking for those PM's.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards

New Info For Putting In Tickers/Trackers!!

Barb — Mon, 08 Aug 2005 21:15:12 GMT

Hi eveyone!

Just a short not to let you all know that putting the ticker/trackers has become easier with the new system.

Go to the site : www.tickerfactory.com

This is the site I use click the weight loss section and follow prompts all the way to end which you will have a code!

Its no longer the HTML code that you use!

You need to copy the BBCODE!!

Come back here to TF open up your control panel and click on edit signature!

Delete your old ticker if you have one and then paste the bbcode there and click update!

You should see above what your sig will look like!

For the ladies/Gents that were unable to use the HTML code before this may let you put a ticker in now.

Any problems please let me know and I will see what can be done!

**TO UPDATE TICKERS/TRACKERS JUST RE-DO AS BEFORE**

***YOU NOW NEED TO HIT UPDATE TWICE FOR THE NEW/OR UPDATED TICKERS TO SHOW***

Firefox Link

Tancredi — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 01:01:19 GMT

Hallo,
I often use Firefox, a great browser, and sometimes go to Tools - Options - Safety - saved password to read and erase the passwords for the sites that I visit.
Do you know if there is a way to shorten this path, maybe insert something in the toolbar to speed up this task?
Thank you
