Shellydayle,
Hi! I can probably help you. What do you want to put in the signature (a ticker, picture, etc)? Have you been able to access your ticker from the Control Panel/Settings and Options menu? (Should be a link at the left of the page you're on when viewing this message that says "Edit Signature.")
Let me know! I tried to PM you but I'm getting a database error, so I thought I'd try this route instead.
Hi Swannie
I don't know what is going on... I have previewed it and it looks great, but then when I go to save it, it won't save. read somewhere that the problem is that I didn't list my date of birth. There is a button to click that supposedly emails someone to have them correct the account, but no one ever contacted me. I used the "contact us" button, that has al least gotten a response. I really don't know why my account has such issues. Thanks for your help!
Swannie
Thanks for your help. I ended up having my account deleted and creating a new one. Working fine now.. Thanks again!

Oh good! Yay!
I'm trying to add a photo to my siggy, but I can't get it small enough. How have others done it? I have it to under 200 pixels by about 86 pixels, but the smallest I can make it with the compression is 20K - which is still too big for the 9K limit. The ones I see in others' posts are definitely that big or more, so how do I shrink it more?
ps - I'm used to aiming for huge files when I digitize my film, so this is new.
What's the resolution (dpi) of the image?
I'm changing the dimensions in pixels, so the resolution doesn't matter. The resolution is just for when you're working with inches. And it's at web res anyway.
I also just checked the settings for the avatar and these are the 2 instructions:
For avatar - Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 80 by 80 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).
For signature - Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 200 by 200 pixels or 9.8 KB (whichever is smaller).
There's realistically no way a 200x200 pixel image can be a 9.8kb file (even 19.8 would be tough). Was the upload area changed recently? I tried to upload and it bounced my file (35kb), so it's not just a typo. The photos in other siggys are definitely bigger than that.
The other images may be linked remotely and not hosted by APA. So you can upload to Photobucket and use the image code that way.Quote:

Are you using the Photobucket image code in your signature and not trying to upload it into the APA signature? If you PM me the Photobucket link for the image I can go into the Mod panel and try to fix it on our end.Quote:

"There are no subscribed threads to display in this folder for this time period."
What does this mean? I cant even update my profile b/c it wont allow me to save it!
Any help would greatly be appreciated!
Also, when I hit preview- I can see it but once its saved- nothing!
ma2ayden, unfortunately it looks like there was a problem with the birthdate you entered when you registered, so your user account isn't giving you access to all the board features.
Even more unfortunately, the only way to fix the problem is to RE-register using a new email address for a new username, paying careful attention to filling out the birthday completely and correctly. Another member had to do this earlier today, but it worked for her.
If you try that and it still doesn't work, post again and I or another board moderator will try to help you!
thanks, will try again.

Paytonsmom, you'll need to re-register (using a new email address) and include a valid birthdate in order to have a fully functional account with signature, etc.
I just did and I hope it worked! Thank you!!!!
yay!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
Yay! Your daughter's adorable!
Just a test to see if the siggy works!
