Can we be of service? Have a problem with the site?

[Mad Mav]

as long as you can post that is ...

Im not sure what Dave was up to, but the other night, the forum seemed to think I had just posted and would not let me make a post.
in the end, I went down the pub !

Same here. I was gettin' on nice, the very next sec the forum didn't wanna know! can hardly post s***! It's ok once I sign off though. Only acts up once I log on. Sometimes it can take upward of 5 to 10 minutes just to make one post!

i can't log on i have to go into the CP log on, then PM to get to the forum. I have run the dos fingy but still no good. As you can tell not to hot with the Pc.

The usual thing is to delete your temporary files and cookies which should sort the problem out.
Which internet browser are you using?

Also try adding www.xrv.org.uk to your trusted sites list. If someone has accidently messed around with thier security settings this can help...but only do it if you truly trust the site

We thought it might be an idea to have an area where it's possible to get any problems you might have with the site sorted out.

i had this problem the other week and gave up itried to upload some photo's and it said that it was uploaded and complete but couldn't find them anywhere on photo gallery/ members gallery, so how do i do it? also how do i attach photo's to thread replies?
many thanks

Possibly the size of the photo's.
You need to make sure that each photo is smaller than 2MB each BEFORE you can upload it.
Unfortunately it will look as if its been successful when it hasn't been.

i resized photo's to less than 2 meg but when it try to attach then to a reply it comes up with a message about scripting. I don't know what this is but i temporarily allow it. try tho attach the photo then it asks me form URL i dont know what this is or what i'm supposed to put in the box.
please help

If you;re getting a scripting error then you'll need to cut/paste the message here for us to diagnose.

As for attaching an image the forum doesn't accept files, but does accept pointers to where a file is on the internet (hence it's asking for a web address, URL). To take advantage of this feature you'll need to upload your image either to your own website, our gallery (once we know what the problem is) or another photo site like photobucket (just google the name). Once your picture is up there you can then copy the link to that picture and then use this link as the URL for the Forum picture attachment.

If you are desperate for the images to go online then email them to me at KYMMY(AT)HUGZZZ.COM obviously the (at) should be a @ symbol. then I'll put them into the gallery and give you a link that can be used for the forum.

It does actually.
"Manage Attachments"
You can attach files to each post. There shouldn't be anything wrong with that and that is an option for anyone to use. This automatically uploads the files. However they have to be a maximum of 97.7KB BEFORE they are uploaded!

I'll give it a try here.....

Woops, my fault there for being on to many forums each using different software.
