Well, here goes! If you are looking at a blank screen Wwith lots of gobbldy gook,it has not worked, if you are however looking at my 4 babies that i grew, and we carved for Halloween, hurrah! (http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00383541f00000001.jpg )
-
It worked!!! ;D Thanks Tim! Dottie P.
-
Fantastic! Just printed them off for the grandchildren.
And there's no need to 'test' in public surely - what's the 'preview' button for? - Tim
-
Too clever by half, it will all come to a sorry end. No seriously though, they look really good for Pagan ritual objects.
Now please tell me in great detail how to get your little icon pic on. No matter what I did it would not work I would like to use Rocky the Bantam. Aint I a duffer?
-
yes - should I have one of an Elk?
Swore I'd never get involved in all this fandango! - Tim
-
Eric I have been trying for about an hour to get your rocky Gif sorted so you use use it, to no avail!! Way beyond my non computer brain me thinks! How about something different like the one I have put on mine to show you? DP
-
Brilliant ! Please, please please.
-
Well done on the growing and carving.I too am awaiting your instruction.
-
Ok, you ready.probably an easier way to do it out there.but here is what I do!!
Go to Google, put in what you want to find as per usual. ( for that one I put in rooster) but instead click on images on the top. then search. go through the pics until you find one you like, then click on it.then click on the pic again, it should now be isolated with it's own address at the top.......ie: www.allotments4all etc! You with me so far? ??? Good! Now copy this address, come back to home page here. Click on profile, which should bring yours up and where it says I have my own pic. Paste your address, then tick the box and voila, it should be there! Sometimes have a prob if the pic is too big to start with, but just keep looking for another that looks good! Hope this helps! :) Dottie P.
-
Opps, sorry chaps, forgot to say, when you have entered your address, adn ticked it, go to the bottom where it says change profile and click on that too! to finish! ;)
-
Can i have a gold star Dottie please.Thanks for your help, i had been making hard work of it putting gif in my pictures etc. :) :) :)
-
- despite all my arguments against, after all DP's efforts I just HAD to try.
But 'copy' would only work on the picture - not the address, so had to type it into the box. Hence probable failure? Should the pic be displayed in the 'preview', like the ordinary photos? - the elk
-
Goodness gracious me !!! Tim
-
Yes, but why does my Rocky the Bantam keep disappearing?
-
oh, dear! - you and Ina too?
Maybe mine will too - not a paid up member?
And, anyway, they are vicious little beauties - however productive? - Tim
-
Eric could it be because it is not a jpeg? ??? DP ( I have no idea what i stands for, just know it as a picture format!!)
-
Hi All
I've been trying too and so far no success! Think maybe all the images I've chosen may be subject to copyright?? Could this be the problem? ........over to the computer whiz ;) ;D
-
Tim, Tim where are you when we need you!! ??? Hmm, don't think it is copyright stuff, make sure that when you are copying the addressdown you have clicked on the image twice, so you have just the image on your screen and not all the website stuff too! Good luck Magpie! ;D
-
when you are in the profile preview di, click on your picture and see what it says, i had the red cross thing when i'd put the address in slightly wrong but it works now...
-
Di, is that a Magpie I see!! Well done ;D DP
-
As you can see it is working at the momen(Thanks Dan) but we will wait and see. The pic is stored inJpeg format as the program does not seem to allow .gif. Jpeg is just an acronym for one of the many ways in which the information needed to reproduce an image is stored. It is the best one for coloured photographs.
-
Thanks everyone!!! Success!!!! ;D ( ::) ::) -my kids faces!!! looking over my shoulder for past hour!!)
-
Errrrr hate to tell you but............................nada! Asked the daughter how to get Rocky online, but she says whaaaaaaaaaa?? (teenager!) Was going to ask a techy type at school tomorrow if she remembers! ;D
-
;D ??? ::) :-[st
Just testing
-
Doris, dear - deserted you?
Don't you recall that I'm doing what you have told me? - Tim
-
Sorry, and a lovely Stag you have there too! :)
-
- oh, dear - women!! It's an ELK - you mean the connection didn't register?
Have to try again. - Tim
-
Sorry to do this but how do we get the banner to run across like on Cool-Carrots.
-
We'll have to wait for our IT tutor to return bb!! ;D
Where are you Doris?? Rather an extended lunch break!! ;) Have you been giving Eric private tuition?! :o ;D
-
Just thought I'd find some alternative pics for Eric !! Can give you this fella's personal address if you like? !! ;)
Not as handsome as Rocky tho'!! ;D
-
- alright,alright, Doris - this is in very small print -
so you can have a 'stag' elk? - but I don't regard myself as a meer deer! - Tim
-
Heeeeeeeeelp, tried everything you all have said and still no joy :-/ . Is it just me? ??? , or am i turning into a techno-phobe :-/ . Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp.
-
Heeeeeee, my 3xbeans stayed on so far since I tried one more time. Fingers crossed. -Ina
-
Jethro - checking back, can't see what it is you're attempting? - Tim
-
Hi tim, i'm trying to get a picture of Mr Tull on my profile instead of homer, when i try there is no picture just a white box with a red cross in the corner >:( :-/ . Soooooooo if you could help i will in your debt bonny lad ::) .
-
Doris - kewl! thank you for piccie info. ;D
-
What happens, you have fake nails put on for Halloween, can't manage to type, let alone dig in your manure in your allotment, (seemed like a good idea at the time!) and everyone is asking where you are!!! ;D hehehe not been on the computer for a few days, (honestly you lot if you could see me nails and the speed at which I am typing you would know why!) You are all getting on VERY well! (at which point you are supposed to say, thank you very much Mr Grace!) Jethro where are you trying to get the pic from? And Mr Elkington, sorry I didn't notice you were an Elk....DUH me! ;D
dotty (the longnailed for 2 weeks till she can get em sorted.)P! :'(
-
Jethro - an old problem - well documented recently - so, now we know it, I'll leave it to the bright young sparks to sort you out . If they don't, I'll try to catch up. But they will need to know how you have approached it so far. - Tim
-
Well here we go, the picture came from the Jethro Tull website ( type in jethro tull on images on google) clicked on the picture i wanted,clicked again, copied the address, went onto my profile clicked the address, that came up but no picture :-/ only a white box with a red cross in the top left corner. I have tried this umpteen times and as such no go :( . So if any of you can help a dopey geordie ( you know flat cap, whippet on a piece of string, coals in the bath etc) i will show you the legend called jethro tull ;D .
-
Hi Jethro
I'm not a young'un or a bright spark ! ;D but may I suggest trying a few other images to see if they come up, as from your explanation you're doing all the right steps. When I was trying to copy images some copied with the red cross, so I just kept selecting until .....bingo!! ;D Sooooo, my humble theory is that some images you are allowed to copy and other's not.!!! But .......I'm merely a novice! Good luck!
-
I tried taking some off of "Ask Jeeves" but that didn't work. You have to try various ones on "Google" some work some don't/I think some have been taken off thats why you can't pull them.It's always the one you want that wont pull.
-
Ah BB, tried loads of pics mate not one would work :( , i guess jethros' too ugly to transfer ::), but i will percevere ( is that spelt right) and i will get a photo on it or bust a gut in the process :-X :-/ , so watch for the splash ;D .
-
- curiouser and curiouser ?
In an effort to help, tried Jethro myself, then an alternative elk - neither worked - came back and re-did this one and here we are!!
It confirmed one thing though, (Doris), that I failed to establish elsewhere - that a he- elk is not normally called a 'stag', but rather a 'bull'. Not that I'm proud of that!! - Tim
-
I say Tim, a bull huh!! Sorry, not a Stag at all!! Jethro I got this one on, and another as well. remember to click on the photo twice to isolate the address, hope that helps! (what image were y9ou trying to get?) Also remember to click on change profile when you have put the address in your profile, hope this helps you.....DP
-
- yes indeed!
But you know that I couldn't get the address into the profile, and had to type it in? So you HIGHLIGHT it first!!
But the picture (another for Jethro), once again, didn't come with it. - Tim
-
Thank you all, as you can see i have done ot whoooooooooopppppeeeeeeee ;D :D .
-
OK - so WHY, if I can get me the elk, can I not get Jethro??? - Tim
And WHO puts that smiley thing into my message???
-
Tim,
If you put in three question marks then it gets automatically changed into that smiley thing !
Cheers
Dan
-
Oh Tim!! ........ you do put a smile on my face!!.... :) :) !! That other THING!!....is apparently known as a .... "Huh" !!...... ??? don't feel :-/ and :-[ about using them..they're 8) and ;D
:-* ;)
-
- steep learning curve? (one only!) - Tim
-
Say Tim, did you notice that if you leave your cursor on the smiley things it will give you a translation? -Ina
-
Aha! Got a picture on too, couldn't stay behind now could I? -Ina
-
- thanks - more learning curve!! No, I keep as far away from them as possible - Tim
-
After weeks of wondering how this was done, I have now thanks to Dandy Lion learnt how to add the little images to my profile.
However i would like to add a stage to the process. I found the only way to get the link to the picture was to right click it and go to 'Properties' this brings up a screen featuring the full URL of the picture. It is then a case of copy and pastin into A4all profile!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
he he he
who would have thought that little ol' me, with not an ounce of any techiness about me would be able to help.
Miracles will never cease!
well done
Sally

- the product of a mind uncluttered with gobbledegook? = Tim

Probably Tim, sometimes some of us mure technically minded folks cant see for looking if you know what i mean ;)
