Okay, gang...
so, again, it has been a while since I participated in this little thing here...
I want to participate... but I want to be able to put images and links in my darn posts...
I can't get any of them buttons up there to work. I tried them now both with internet explorer and netscape. I click... nothing happens.
I'd use HTML, but it says it isn't allowed. I'd be happy to use BBCode, but I don't know the syntax. Can anybody point me to a site that has the syntax for the BBCode thing?
Anyway, why don't the darn buttons work? (But I've got pop-ups allowed for this site, just in case that was the problem.)
I've got a google tool bar - could that interfere? I've got the latest Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.yada-yada-yada-sp-yada-yada... I've tried with Netscape 4.7 and same thing. Doesn't work.
Any ideas here?
Kaf

I wish I could help but I don't know much specifics.
There was a "Picture" thread recently in General Off Topic Discussion about Mark having trouble posting pictures.
There was another thread about Mark having trouble with being able to see properties of pictures that turned out to be related to his yahoo browser window (I think?).
But I don't think either of those 2 threads would necessarily have your solution.

when you signed up.....did you activate your account from the email they sent you? if you sign up and start posting and don't activate your account through that email.......it screws you up somehow. I had that happen to one of my aliases, I couldn't PM or post pics or do a lot of things. Just an idea

Hmmm... well I used to use the buttons, so it shouldn't be my account.
But that was several computers, several operating systems, and numerous browsers ago.
Cheers!

Well, as you can see (hee hee) I found a web site on BBCode:
http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/faq.php?mode=bbcode
And was able to add my sig. What's cool is that my sig pops itself into all the posts I've posted so far. Wow... didn't expect that.
Cheers!

One thing to look into...
when you click on the "add image" button... a pop-up
window opens up where you can type in the link to the
image. If you have something blocking pop-up windows
on your browser - that might be a problem.
In some cases, its also possible just to have so much
stuff running on your computer at one time that your
browser refuses to open a new window.
These may not have anything to do with it, but I just
thought I'd throw them out.

I don't know Kaf that well, so I hope he is not offended...
But I have to say that that cool beard pick and caption really reminded me of another trinity instead - ZZ Top!
