1-....see some pictures in posts. Sometimes I can see a photo- but most often I can't. I can see avitars with no problem- but inside the body of a post I can't. I see all these posts that say before and after with pictures and such- and I would love to be able to see them and say congrats- but I can't see the photos!!

2-.... figure out how to post my little weight loss tracker at the bottom of my posts? how do I do it?

Thank you for your help! have a great day.:flowerforyou:

    1) usually people don't have the proper posting format to post pics in a post. you'll see the url like www.mypicture.com/me.jpg but no actual picture. If you can't see pictures in any of the posts you see then something is wrong. are you @ work? alot of people use photobucket to upload and share pictures and some work places block that site.

    Hmm... I dunno about the pictures, but for your ticker, go up to Tools at the top and click on Tickers and it will give you a bunch of options like "display at the bottom of posts" etc

    yah I just realized you actually have a ticker. Under Messge Boards go to > Settings you'll see a box you can check for ticker.

    Yes- I set one up but can't figure out how to have it automatically post when I comment on a message board?
    Do I have to copy and paste it each time I comment? I'm attempting to do that right now on this post- but boy that would be kind of extra work just to have it each time I comment- there must be a way for it to automatically post?

    This one isn't your computer, they didn't post a pic.

    The pictures thing could be firewall/security related. Certain hosts are blocked by work, so I can't see all the pictures people post.

    It's the way that the browser is set up. Most aren't set up to see EVERY format of pictures. If you use Mozilla/firefox, they're usually easy on most picture formats. If you're using internet explorer, that's probably why you can't see some of the pics.
