Help for those uf us less savy about posting on this board

[Joe]

I went back and checked again. I see nothing different in your profile compared to anyone elses. I went back to the old forum and dug up the last avatar you were using and changed to that.

Use retailguys instructions and see if you see the change avatar selection now. If you don't, I may have to log in as you to see what you're seeing. Everything from my end indicates that you should be able to see the change avatar section on the profile page. Send me an email with a password I can use, but make sure you can see the change password function first so you can change it back when I'm done.

Private Messages -

Those of you having difficulty sending them, it is most likely that your inbox and sent messages box are full. phpbb would drop off the oldest message when your box got full. vbulletin stops sending messages until you empty it.

I'll give a bit more storage space, from 50 messages to 100, but you'll have to do the housekeeping from there!

Does this new forum allow for searching old threads? I can’t seem to find the function…..anyway, I remember someone (Patler?) posted a good article back in summer about a long shot lineman who made the team. Was that Nick McDonald? Here is a nice follow up to that story:

If you look on the right hand side just above the first thread on the list, there are two drop down menus: thread functions and search threads. You can search there or use the box in the green bar at the top of the page.

How do you code it so that you can input a chart and the numbers remain in columns?

How do you code it so that you can input a chart and the numbers remain in columns?

There are three basic options.

When you reply (or start a thread) click Go Advanced to get access to all features and then either

1. Use the CODE tag (symbol is # in the icon bar) to make everything into the default monospaced font on the board. So this:

Comp Atts
Rodgers 23 38

becomes:

          Comp   Atts
Rodgers     23     38

2. Same advanced options let you define a font and size. Use a monspaced one like Courier or Lucida, but you will need to use a spacing character like a period. The software and the browser will treat mutiple spaces like one space.

..........Comp...Atts
Rodgers.....23.....38

..........Comp...Atts
Rodgers.....23.....38

3. Or cheat. Put your figures into Excel, Numbers, Open Office, whatever OR just open the webpage with the info you need and hit ALT-PRTSCR. Paste into Paint, save as PNG file. Open a photobucket account, upload the image and then link to it in the post. Easiest of all after you have the photobucket (or Flickr) account.
