I am still trying to figure everything out.


I have a couple of questions.

Can we use images in our sigs ? The one I have is pretty small. I had someone make it for me.

And how do I upload an avatar ?
You cannot upload images in your signature(you might be able to make your own, however), and you cannot upload an avatar until you are a member of ORG.

Ohh. I see.

Ok then.

In the bold, What exactly does that allow me to do ?

Member of ORG ?
How would I go about doing that ?

Sorry to sound so lost. I am just wondering.

Go to User CP, look under Edit your Signature, and create the signature you want. As to membership in ORG, you post on the Sun Deck for 6 months and have 200 posts. You then apply to join ORG under User CP, Join Members Group. If a minimum of 75% of ORG members vote you in , you are a member of ORG. Soon after that you can make your own avatar, or use one of the ones already available.

Oh, ok. I see now.

I just added a link to the image instead. What do you think ?

Are they thinking of adding that ability ?
I understand the bandwith thing, etc. I wouldnt want it to be very big at all.
Any way to limit size ?

Thank you for all your help and info AmarilloRed.
If I could give you Rep, I would. I appreciate it.

Nice to meet you.
Look forward to discussing our RedLegs with you in the future.
Im going to work toward that now.

Re: Site Feedback/Questions
Images within signatures are specifically prohibited for bandwidth reasons. Thousands of members using signature images in thousands of threads tends to eat up a lot of bandwidth, so we leave that option disabled.

Your avatar is showing, so does that mean it's okay for us to put our avatars back up?

Per post in another thread, it's okay to turn avatars back on.

Hey, I just got here about 5 minutes ago and the board was down.

Back up now but we might have been down for some time, judging by the Gamethread.

What happened?

I made a slight change to a file that inadvertantly made the site inaccessible until I realized what had happened. I'm working with our host to see why this occurred, as I'm not sure why the change resulted in the down time, but in the meantime, I have removed the offending file. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Re: Site Feedback/Questions
Site speed still good for everyone? Hopefully you're noticing much better performance and response times.

Boss - I still have your request - working with a couple people to see what's up. Is it still an issue?

So far, so good. A couple weeks ago or so, there was a one-day period when things were going slowly for me, but since then, everything's been great.

Yes, everytime I upload that file, the same error appears.
