Thanks - I am fooling with the smilies now.

Edit - Done for now:

Just checking.

Checking again

As advised I clicked user control panel to get my Dalek avatar back, but it took me to a screen where I couldn't see avatars mentioned. As Rog isn't around, can anyone who has got their avatar switched over to here tell me how to do it once you're in the user control panel?

sure bernard. i just did mine.
1a. make sure you have your avatar image somewhere on your PC. Also make sure the size is 120 wide x 150 high pixels max.
1b. click user control panel
2. click profile (on left somewhere)
3. in profile, click edit avatar (still on left smwhere)
4. in middle top smwhere click browse. browse to that avatar image you want.
5. click 'submit'
6. you're done.

Anybody else finding that the display of avatars is intermittent?

Just watching MOTD2. Hate to say it but Utd look red-hot and Ronaldo is on fire.

By comparison we are huffing and puffing a bit too much at the moment.

This is a test.

Ta for that. I noticed it just after I had added and then changed avatars and hoped that it wasn't something that I had done. Cheers.

And as if by magic - they reappear

Admin I am getting a display on my McAfee that this site is phishing is anyone else getting this or is it my Fisher Price IT system.

testing 123

4,5,6?

A bit too much like Manure v Spurs

Many thanks. But when I tried this it flashed up a message saying "This file cannot be displayed because the extension htm is not allowed."

Anyone got any ideas?

You've not been around for ages Decaf. How are things?

I have plenty of ideas, Bernard. Not about avatars, however. Perhaps you would like to propose some other topic. Preferably not football related, as this seem already to have been covered here.

Mee: hang on in there. It's not that difficult.

Whoa, that's a neat little collection of smilies there. Reckon this one will be used a lot!

I also have no ideas about smilies, and no desire to remedy this defect.

What would HL Mencken (trans. Munchkin???) have said about smilies, I wonder?

I don't know, but judging from what I've read of his work, he probably would've hated them.

That "Reply"-button is very close to the one that says "Report", I just noticed. Best not to be in a hurry while posting on here!

Looking the injury list, I see that Djourou is listed as "groin", and Van Persie "virus". What does that mean? How do you injure it?

Why is chocolate gooner not on the injury list? Have EEG and Daz resigned their commissions?

I think you are confusing me with someone else, John.

That sounds painful. Is it related to "Osteitis Pubis" injury, which also apparently comes from kicking too much?

Perhaps Daz is writing another book?

But how do I change the size to get it to 120 wide and 150 high pixels max?

Good to see you back Decaf.....
Hope to see one or two others return to the forum too.

Are you suggesting that he was lost in the wilds of Eastern Cape? I haven't seen anything that hairy around here the farmers here stopped raising angoras. Now its all game.

Or are you insinuating that he flounced off?

I think Gaz raised that point a few pages back, and warrior was going to have a look at it.

It's very long. One would have thought he could have just looked at a map.

I will look forward to that. Not enough really good flouncing these days.

Bedtime here too.

I imagine Cannonballs is still around?

You do this via "User Control Panel" -> "Board Preferences" (on the menu to the left) -> "Edit display options" and then you check the "No"-box for the "Display smilies as images"-setting.

But are you really sure you don't want to see things like this?

Mr Mechkin's comment is spot on.

I was afraid someone else was going to take AmericanGooner...silly I suppose...wait...how do we know this is the 'real'AmericanGooner. A few test questions:

How do you feel about Sam Allardyce?

Top bloke

Who is your forum mentor and jedi master?

Bernard

Where is Stoke?

A city in Staffordshire, in the west Midlands

Is the correct spelling 'colour' or 'color'?

Colour

Define 'irony'?

Irony is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is a gap or incongruity between what a speaker or a writer says and what is generally understood

You're cunning, America. However, I am onto you: Wikipedia also offers:

"Socratic irony takes place when someone ... pretends to be foolish or ignorant, to expose the ignorance of another."

It might have added:

"Chocolatian irony takes place when there is a gap or incongruity between the speaker's ears"

Yes - I picked up on that one. It seems to be when a page is refreshed, some avatars, sometimes, don't display. I need to determine if it's a function of that particular avatar, (too big, location, size, etc) or if it's a forum caching thing.

When it happens again, I will view the page source and check the source location - it might be a little bug even !

Edit - ok - I think it is just the forum caching the old (or no) avatar image. Thus, if someone has just changed their avatar or recently added one, it might not display correctly - by holding down the shift key, then pressing Refresh (or reload), it should come up. I will keep an eye on it

Rog ..

decaf are you sure you mistyped cunning when you described me? hehehe
Interesting the swears that are popular in either country.

Okay, some football talk. I'm nervous about the CC semi 2nd leg but I'm hoping that the bad result will galvanize the squad we take to WHL and make them want to make up for last Saturday.

I still think Chelsea may struggle despite having Anelka. They are still without Terry, Essien and Lampard and I think obi Mikel as well. One player, even of Anelka's quality, can't make up all those players missing. I haven't seen their schedule but I do think they will drop some points.

Hi Bernard

When in your "user control panel", click 'Profile', then "Edit Avatar"

In this section "Upload from a URL:
Enter the URL of the location containing the image. The image will be copied to this site."

Copy and paste the following (it is a link to your current avatar)

http://202.181.21.81/arsenal/uploads/av-27.jpg

Then click "Submit"

This should give this image:



Rog ..

Edit - Never mind - I fixed it for you

Hi - At a guess, I would think that McAfee is merely flagging *any* web page url that contains a username and password entry field and is not on their predetermined safe list that it could be a possible phishing page. Bit weak if that is their only method of determining Phishing pages but I guess it would be somewhat effective (and better to play it safe for their users).

I imagine you can add it as a safe site in it's options somewhere ...

Rog ..

Yes - there are approx 6290 odd avatars in there (ironically, the other forum has the same ones as well)

Rog ..
Edit - I'm thinking he means smilies maybe ?
