:confused: First off. How does one setup or change the way the 'Threads' appear? It seems to be set with the newest post/first to be viewed at the top. So if you weren't in from the start, miss a few posts or found a given thread through a word or tagged search. You have to view said thread backwards. It's like having a talk with someone who already knows the final answer. I'm left trying to figure out the question.

Second. I've been trying to add an avatar, to no avail. The image is 60x80 and is used on two other forums. I've tried downloading direct from my computer, via copy & paste, Tried a copy from one of the other forums, via a direct copy and using the URL. I've uploaded the image to 'Photobucket', copying & pasting the URL from there. And I've done the same with the IMG and the Direct Link. All I get is, "Invalid URL" or "Download failed". Any thoughts?

Not sure how to make permanent changes at the mo because the site's not fully functional after the recent hiccups.

As a work around ,if you click on the thread title rather than the latest post you can start from the beginning.

I don't think the avatars and sigs are working properly either yet.

Ahnjo should be along to tell you what happening though.

Can't help you with your Avatar as I had no problems with mine.

I can see a Mr Potato Head in your avatar space... is that the one you intended?

:) Thanks for that. At last I can view things in a proper order and I've retuned to moving forward. Plus I can now tell how old the original thread is, without having to find the last page.

:confused: Uh, yeah? But how did that come about one wonders? Last time I looked, I wasn't there. :) But yes, 'Mr Potato Head' is indeed the my desired image.

;) Thank you all for the replies and help. I feel a little more sane now. I'm never going to be normal. But what's normal anyway...
