You need to drag and drop the picture you want from your hard drive to the red "x" under your post.  Do it on one post, then refresh the page and it should show up in all your posts.  It can be tricky to line up so repeat if it doesn't work the first time.

If you don't see the red "x", you'll probably have to download and install the latest update to your browser.  If that doesn't solve it, you probably don't have .NET on your PC.  Windows XP usually installs this, so try a fresh install.

If you can't line it up correctly, make sure your screen resolution is set to 1100x547.

I don't want my avtar, but a different image that's hosted...

Using your # and * example, here's what I have...

[img#]http://www.www.pebblecanyonhoa.com/marque.jpg[/img*]

(but without the # and * of course)

All that shows up is the BOX with that dreaded RED X.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks again...

If your system isn't too screwed up and you can get to a command prompt, formatting your hard drive should solve things, and once you're back up, you should have no problems with this. 

If a format doesn't solve it, you may have a bad power supply or motherboard, so try replacing them one at a time until the problem goes away.

Worst case scenario is that you'll have to switch out your video card or monitor, but I doubt it'll get to the monitor stage...the video card is usually the final straw that kicks everything into gear if it hasn't worked up to that point.

Good luck with all this.  Hopefully you are able to use all these suggestions today, I heard NewEgg's prices are going to increase April 2nd

OK, OK...

My most humble thanks and appologies to all.  I'm just glad there was someone on this board smarter than me to explain that it's the World Wide Web and not the Willie Wonka's Wacky World Wide Web...

Thanks again.  I really wanted to use my marque in my signature line.

Again, thanks to all who helped...

Now I can let this horribly named thread DIE!

hey sing as how I have a topic related question how do I put an image in my sig so someone can click on it to go to my site or download the demos.

just like the pic in my sig suggests?

Shape, there's no avoiding it, you will need a low level format, firmware flash for your CD drive (just use any of 'em, they're all the same), POSSIBLY a BIOS flash (same as the CD flash, any one will do), and a new monitor.

Glad to be of cervix :P

Send me your phone number, and when I call, press the # sign three times, and enter in your ATM card number, followed by two *'s and your PIN number.  That should start the download of the manual you will require in order to complete those steps

If I can access your demos I can DL and throw 'em on CD for some early listening...they've already signed "Pink Houses" and two other bands!

ZOINKS!

If this tiny type is making your head hurt, you aren't getting enough bacon.  You need to up your dosage to the Daily Recommended (by ShapeD) Allowance of bacon.  I believe you may have to start raising your own pigs to achieve it, but the headaches will go away


CHEEZAND RICE!  NINE MEGS?!?!?  My poor dialup is gonna be sore in the morning!  I stopped by the doctor and got an ointment for it, though, so that should go away quickly ;) ;D :police: :angel: :laugh: :'( :) :D >:( :( 8) :o ??? ::) :P

Put a little KY on it and it'll be fine as paint.
