I successfully posted three images in a new thread last week. I tried to post a single image in another new thread today and I have run into several problems, even though I didn't do anything differently, as far as I can tell.

Today, when I Previewed my Post, I got the ol' Tiny-Blue-Question-Mark Image in place of my image (in Safari).

I then switched browsers (to Firefox) and did the same thing. This resulted in my getting the filename and the size of the file displayed in the Post Preview where the image should be instead of the blue question mark image.

I tried a couple of 'test' posts, using other files, in case my image file had a problem and the same kinds of things happened. When I try to bypass the attachments manager and use the 'Add Image' function instead, I get a URL link to my image (on CA) in my preview, even though it has the appropriate [img] tag in the post.

Even the images that worked for me last week will not work in a new post - even though they are still working in the old post. I'm at a loss.

I honestly can't think of what the problem could be. Sometimes we have these kinds of hiccups when the code of the forum is being worked on. Let us know if the problem doesn't resolve itself.

[oats]

The problem has indeed resolved itself!

Thanks a mil'

[emily g]

Oh good.

I dunno if i'm the first to ask, but when i tape there a kind of bugs that show this.



The underlined text is normal because my browser doesn't understand english, but for the rest, the box keep showing the word or letters i've erase (the K the end of Tape).
I use a mac and Firefox. Does the problem comes from that ?
It's annoying, Please help me !

[emily g]

I have no idea what is causing the problem. Is it only with this website?
I would try emptying your cache, but that's all I can think of to suggest.

[El Jeremie]

I only happens in this Site.
I m trying with another Browser (safari) and it seems to be Ok for the moment.
Maybe i need to Update firefox.
Thanks for the reply.

Hello, I'm new user here but I've been watching all that great stuff which is posted here for some time.

I'm looking for info about artist who paints a lot of weird 'fishmen' and strange forms of sea life, sc-fi vessels in viking theme, he also draw a lot 'dark sepia' pictures. Some time ago I've found his gallery on the net but I can't find it now

I guess it's not the best topic to ask that kind of questions, so please move it to the other subforum if necessary.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You might have better luck creating a new thread in the Art Discussion Forum.

Hey some twenty pictures in M@ exclusive sketchbook wont show for me.

For the "Default Thread Age Cut Off" option i specified "show all threads" and still the pics just wont show!

Help please.

Thanx in advance!

[emily g]

The pictures are gone because m@ hosted them at another place on the internet and has since removed them from that location.

This is why we encourage everyone to use CA's attachment feature.

[SoufMeng]

Damn!!
Thats a big loss for me...

Hope he'll fix it!

Thank u Emily g!!

I need to have a exclusive sketchbook ...but how can i ...i have red the section on exclusive sketchbook help but still How can i make an administrator do it for me ? ThanX

[emily g]

Only people who have been invited to have exclusive sketchbooks are allowed to have them. Just make yourself a sketchbook in the regular sketchbook forum.

[Amir the night wolf]

ThanX Emily i already have one

[SoufMeng]

Just out of curiosity: what are "referrals" exactly?
Sorry to pollute the thread wiv this...

[emily g]

Are you referring to where you put the username of the person who referred you to the website?

I don't think it does much...it might make a note somewhere of the number of people a person has referred.

Hi everyone!

I am new to this forum.
My question is: What kind of work can I post here (2D -3D) or there is no limit?

Thank you

[emily g]

Both. There is a specific forum for 3-D work, as well.

[SoufMeng]

(i deleted my last post wich was basically just to say thank u, instead of editing it, to post this new request)

Could you help me fix something?
For some reason i have a picture that looks hideous as a thumbnail due to some weird pixels on it, if u go to the sketchbook section now u should see my sketchbook on the front page and there ull notice the red pic im referring to.
This is pretty annoying since i was planning on keeping that very picture as my permanent SB thumbnail...
It seems to me that no other thumbnail was affected by this thing.

Feel free to edit the first post of the thread or do anything that can fix it!

Thanx in advance
and sorry to be so faithfull to this thread hehe...

[emily g]

That happens to other people too--some things just look worse when they are automatically resized.

What I would do is make the thumbnail yourself in photoshop. Resize it exactly the way you want and so it looks exactly the way you want. Then go add it to your post so it shows up as the thumbnail.

[SoufMeng]

Alright!

Its the first time this kinda thing happens to me, and yeah i tried to resize it by myself but it didnt seem to change anything.
Ill just try again or replace it by another pic...

Thank you.


Edit: it just didnt work, i replaced the pic and ive got no prob with that new one tho its not resized...
Ill try to understand this problem later, iv got to log out.

Thanx again emily g.

Hey, I'm new here, and I understand basically how this site works, and want to get started... But I have no idea where I should start. Unlike like other art sites I've joined, this one is a forum, and doesn't have just a gallery where everything goes. Being a very mediocre (at best) artist, I don't want to start posting in the wrong place and look like an idiot. If someone could please kindly point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it. ^^

[emily g]

If you want to post a bunch of your images at once, start a sketchbook thread in the sketchbook section.
If you want critique on an individual piece, post it in the Critique Center.
If you have a work in progress that you plan on posting progress updates and asking for advice along the way, post it in the Studies & Works in Progress section.

Welcome to the forums.

[Jefita]

So I'm hoping I didn't miss the answer to this, but does anyone know if there was a resolution to the missing "thank you" button? The same thing happens to me and I'd like to know how to fix it.

[emily g]

You have to post a certain number of posts before it shows up. It's a small number, like 10 or 15.

[Jefita]

Ah, cool. I see it now. Thank you much!

Hi, I've been trying to find out how I can make my own gallery in here. If it's the upload button in the user cp I only get a "critical failiure" message when I try to use it. I've tried different browsers so that shouldn't be the problem. If there is something else I have to do to create a gallery, will someone please tell me? I've looked arround the forum for the answer, but can't find it.

thx

Yngvill

[emily g]

Did you click on the "Add your gallery" banner on the top of the forums?

[Yngvill]

I actually found it right after I posted here Sometimes what you look fore is right in front of you eyh?
