Where are you seeing something called "General Chatter"? DDB has a "General Chatter" which is the main room for discussions. Is there a "main room" here? I think the confusion is there are sub-boards within the boards and it's like being at a new grocery store. I'm not sure where everything is yet! I don't want to miss anything.

ALso, ADmin doesn't come up on my menu at the top when I enter the cafe. I suspect what I need in order to read things will be found in there. But I can't access there.

Thank you McLovin, I didn't see your post last night but I was getting the same thing this morning with the loading but not playing. I did as you suggested and hit on one of the news items now I have music. So again thanks, I am sure you guys will get this worked out. I used to do webpages and I know all new sites have glitches.

I can't see the photo albums. I just get the words, Photo Albums, but it doesn't act as a link. Is there something I need to be running that I'm not...? I'm so anxious to see my daughter Amasetta's ukulele on the album cover, and I can't...!! The links to the news articles work fine for me, if that helps diagnose my problem....

My siggy pictures won't display, what am I doing wrong? Thanks! Sarah's right -- that is what was wrong. I went in and fixed the tag but now there's a new problem in that your signature is too high. Please take a look at the posting rules when you have a minute. The max siggy height is 150.

I think the confusion is there are sub-boards within the boards and it's like being at a new grocery store. I'm not sure where everything is yet! I don't want to miss anything. All websites/forums are different from each other in organization. There's not a general chatter area here. There are categories and boards for specific areas of discussion, but if you'll take a look at the site map within this area you'll see where Open-Mic night is; that's where you can discuss anything you'd like that doesn't fit into one of the other categories.

I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding your question. Registered Members wouldn't have an 'admin' area, but if you're registered you're seeing everything there is to see.

How do I post an image from google spreadsheets? My charts. I will try to do it here, but it comes up empty. I put in the http:// "stuff" and then highlight it and click the image button to wrap it in the image tags, but I get nothing. This is the process I use to post them on castrocopia. What am I doing wrong? The image text is below this vvvvvv, but in preview mode there is nothing below this line.

Maggie -- towards the top of your screen on the right, you should see a menu of buttons: Home, Help, Search, etc. Your profile button is on the right side of that menu. Click that button to get in there, and then follow the instructions in the How Do I....? thread. If you need help, give us a holler.
Looking at yours next, Lisaroo. Also: Squeee!!! LisaRoo is here!

Okay, lisaroo. I grabbed your file. I wonder if our coding won't allow the rendering of this kind of image file without it having a known image file extension like .jpg, .png, etc. I'll ask Lemon to take a look at it because it works on the other site.

That's what we're here for!! Thanks, guys. I PMd Kim this a.m. and she told me about the skins. They work great! One problem that I mentioned to her is that it seems one has to be logged in to see the listings with the chosen skin. That is, the "black" background comes up when I'm not logged in. I don't always want to log in and out but still want to browse. The black is very hard to deal with, at least for this 50 something gal. I'm also concerned that it might be hard for folks exploring the site who really aren't posters anywhere. They won't know that one can use a different skin once one joins and logs in. I'm afraid a less motivated person would just assume hard to read is the way things are and leave. I know I would have done that early on at IDF if I'd had to deal with the black background or red on black.

[img]"http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pvG4qZfuQgvfsAJUXv6PDLg&oid=64&output=image"[/img] I was also wondering if it could be because it is too large. Sounds like there is a size limit on siggy banners, so I was wondering if there are limits elsewhere too. Plus, I read somewhere here that photobucket is the preferred image site to use. So, I didn't know if that was the only allowable site. There is no way to reduce the size of it though on google. But yes, it works fine at castrocopia. I can ask Lemon if you want me to. Obviously no rush. p.s. Thanks for the squeeeee mclovin! I've never been squeeed over before. Right back atcha! And RFO for all you have on your plate now!!

I can see that I wasn't very clear. I was watching the Help tutorial. Admin is shown on the top menu and comes up without explaning that it won't be seen on everyone's screen. I realize now what it is for and that it wouldn't have helped me anyway.
