[denuseri]

Ive been seeing a lot of new mebers who have these wondeful colorful and unique profiles they customized and my onwer mentioned I should perhaps spruce our profiles up accordingly and I was just wondering why is it that the customization of one's profile isnt an available feature for myself and some others?

Ive looked through the available settings and found information on customization that when clicked on responds with a message that the feature has eaither been restricted from my own use by administration or is not available for an unidentified reason.

Any help or insight would be great thanks.

[denuseri]

lol, Never mind delia just showed me where the button is in chat.

FYI for anyone interested its in the far right and subdued just above the visitor messages on your profile page.

[babygirlE]

i need to change my title name but i dont know how can someone help please?

[karley]

There's a thread around here somewhere telling you how to do it. In the tech section I think. Something about contacting an admin.

Did there used to be preview thumbnails for attached images? For some reason I remember not having to follow a link for each image. Did they used to appear inline? Should they still, and am I using an incompatible browser?

[Ozme52]

Yes. The previous version of the software automatically showed thumbnails of uploaded pics. It's either not available in this version or else it must be a lot of work (or bandwidth taken) to enable them.

I peruse far fewer pics than I used to check out.

Hi there,
I was trying to post to my thread with photos but it doesn't show up. And when I try to post again I get the warning that this post is a dublicate yet I still don't see my most recent post.
I posted to my bdsm art thread as well and it shows up but my photo post does not. Any ideas or help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm trying to delete my profile as I have found and.fallen in love with someone special.

[Austerus]

This isn't a direct answer, but I'd recommend leaving your profile up and keeping a presence in the community. Update it to say you're proud to be unavailable and continue to get support and fellowship from the other people here. Dropping off the grid isn't all it's cracked up to be

[Taylor.M]

Thank you but I still hope to know how.

[rosebud]

You need to send a PM to Torq, hun and he will take care of it for you.

i wish you the best in all things but, hope you stick around, also!

Congratulations!

JAVA

Just a word of warning, over the last few days I have been getting problems with posting and messaging on Library. Apart from kicking the computer out the window I did all I could to solve the problem. I spoke to others that were getting the same problem so it wasn’t my incompetence that let it go on so long.
Last night before going to bed I placed my computer in a full scan that normally takes about two to three hours. Problem is now solved.

I have had two Java updates in the last week and in the first were a trogon and two viruses.

In the second there was another trogon and three viruses.

By allowing the updates I inadvertently let them in...Be warned.

Be well IAN 2411

I remembered getting a Java update within the last week, too. Only one, though, not two. So I ran my normal AV Scan (Norton), and just finished running Malwarebytes and Spybot scans as well, and no viruses.

I'm wondering how you determined that the problems came in with the Java updates? I know the site has been having problems and they seem to have been fixed, coincidentally, at about the same time you're problem was solved. And I've never had a problem with official updates from reputable companies, except Microsoft. And those are usually just bad updates, not viruses.

I'm also curious about whether you allow the updates to install automatically. I'm a suspicious cuss, so I have things set to inform me when updates are available, then I do a manual install. The only thing I have updating automatically is my AV.

Anyway, I'm glad you got it straightened out. I know from experience what a royal pain in the neck it is to have to deal with that crap.

[IAN 2411]

The virus scan i have pinpoints the source and it told me in big red letters the following morning. I was informed of the update and i allowed it to do so by giving the command. A few minutes later after loading another came and i did the same again thinking it was a back log on my computer. Then things started to go down hill fast after about an hour. The thing was i was getting the same problem on a fishing forum as well and that cleared up at the same time.

Be well IAN 2411

[Thorne]

Yeah, I have to agree, it sounds like those updates did it. I'm surprised the virus scanner didn't catch it in the update itself. Or at least in the installation.

Like I said, I received ONE Java update, not two. And no problems other than those on the site.

I don't know which AV software you're using, but you might want to check the particular viruses you found to make sure there isn't anything else you need to do. Many of them require some changes in the Windows registry, in addition to the AV cleanup. If you're using Windows, of course.

Hello,anyone know how to change/edit your profile? I wanted to add a few things to mine but I have no clue how to do it.Any help will be great Thanks

[Babybird]

HI. I just joined and I have received a few PMs, but every time I try to access them it takes me to a page that says "Database Error". I can't view mine or anyone else's profile either, I get the same error message. I've tried 3 different browsers and that didn't seem to help.

Thank you!

[Thorne]

Babybird,

Seems to be a problem with the servers. I'm having the same problem today. I'm sure Torq will be working on it as soon as he can. Patience is the best advice for now.

[sub_sequent]

Hi.
Please help! I have not been able to access my pm's or profile either. The rest seems to be pretty much o.k.
Thanks
Vicki

That is the question, really. First time this has happened - does anyone else have this problem?

[rocco]

Yes. Im having this problem too thir. But........Torq i believe is working on it.
all you have to do for the time being is delete all history from your tool bar. it clears everything i know, but thats all i can suggest for now.
i just look at it like this, im here, but im not!!! how weird is that!!!

Thanks rocco, I'll try that for the time being.

[Venom]

I could not log out (still can't) nor open my profile site. The profile is working again now, so I reckon the log out problem is soon be dealt with, too.

[Ceight]

E-gad. I really want to log out! I like my privacy! Help!

(And I tried clearing my history. That didn't make any difference.)

[thir]

Thanks Torq
