What's the best/easiest way to upload pics? I used to go through the TinyPic website, and now nothing loads. Have tried multiple times off my iPad and iPhone. Used to work perfectly.

If the pic is on a website, download it to your iPad first. Long press on the pic to bring up the menu with "Save Image." Once it’s on your iPad:

1. "Post Reply" button (full editor below the Quick Reply box)
2. "Attachments" tab below the reply box
3. "Add files" button
4. "Photo Library"
5. Choose the pic you want
6. "Done"
7. Position cursor in reply box where you want pic
8. "Place inline" button at bottom of Attachments panel
9. Repeat steps 3-8 for each additional pic
10. "Preview" if you want to check appearance
11. "Submit"

Why do I get inundated with adds when browsing the Epicurean Exploits forum?

[Robert M yers]

What’s the best way to get a high(er) def picture up. I tried Imgur but it then has all the Imgur border crap. And I don’t really want an Imgur acct if I don’t need to...

It would be nice to have links to 3rd party sites open in a new tab/window rather than completely redirecting to the linked website. You're essentially driving traffic away from the website without the target=_blank attribute that can easily be applied to non-WB linkage by default. My only .02 as a relatively noob on this forum.

[David Glasser]

All you have to do is upload a high def picture. A high-def version of the picture I posted above opens when you click on it, and you’re still on the WB site. While it opens in the current tab like other links (the one thing I still haven’t adjusted to since the upgrade), if you right click or long press on it, you can open it in a separate tab.

Just today, I’ve noticed I started to see ads when browsing the site. I’m a Grand Cru member, currently logged in, and haven’t had this issue before today. Using an iPad running the latest version of iOS and the chrome browser. Any ideas?

Same here. Today is the first time I have seen them. Little boxes in some posts.

[Matt Mauldin]

Same issue as Jason and Robert. Seeing ads popping up for the first time today. I checked to be sure I was logged in.

[Mark Y]

Same here. Attached photo here.

Shows me logged in etc. this is mobile btw.

There is a thread in Asylum about it - it's fixed

[Gordon Fitz]

Perhaps I’ve missed this from before, but when I hit the Board Index tab, as before, the index page no longer appears but an “ active topics” page appears in its place. What do I need to do to just get the index page?

Click the logo - that takes you to the index page

After having gone a few weeks without any notice of posts on the college basketball thread on Asylum, I checked in only to find many have occurred since last on. How does that happen? Yes, I've selected to be notified. I wonder how many other threads I've missed and what do I need to do to avoid this in the future?

Depends on your notifications settings - are they set to email you? If so, you might have to whitelist the domain, as they could be routed to spam

[Gordon Fitz]

Todd;

I do that and the page that comes up says statistics, then who is on line! It does bring up the old board index page.

What's changed? I've been getting notifications all along and then I don't? I do not find any in JUNK.
After posting on the basketball thread, I have since received a notification. Its like if I'm inactive for a few days, I lose the notice, but I know that's not true across the board as I've gotten some that were many months out.???

Nothing has changed since the software change. If you haven't yet setup the notifications again after that change, they probably won't work. I have subscribed to several threads and always get the notification in my 'notifications' alert up top (as I have mine setup NOT to send emails as notification - all that is configurable in the User Control panel)

On my iPhone using AOL, many times when I try to read a message, it doesn't recognize my password.

So each day or new place with WiFi I have to get a new one, since the one my LastPass remembers and tries, doesn't work.

Is it Apple, AOL or WB?

Memorized passwords are always the device or browser, as the forum doesn't memorize passwords for you, since it requires you to enter the password to be logged in. Might be an issue with LastPass.

I didn't even know AOL was even around anymore!

When Verizon bought AOL, they made AOL the actual server for all the Verizon.net email addresses. So, yeah AOL is still around, at least for that.

How do you resize pictures to fit the avatar size?

Without distorting the image.

[David Glasser]

How do you resize pictures to fit the avatar size?

Without distorting the image.

Open a copy of the image file in whatever program you have.
Find the "resize" tool or whatever it’s called in your program.
Select "maintain aspect ratio" or whatever it’s called.
Enter a smaller number (may be pixels, mm, inches) for one dimension (either horizontal or vertical).
Save results to a new file.

Or, since you tend to be lazy and want Mark B to do everything for you, send it to me and I'll do it for you

Also, "resize tool" refers to images only, in case you get any big ideas.

So confusing. I asked the help and was told, “sorry, do it yourself”. So I’ll stay naked.

[Mike Kuller]

I agree with Robert.

Why can't someone ask a question here without all the comedians trying to get a laugh?

[Todd F r e n c h]

Send it to me! It's much easier that way...I've done plenty o' avatars on here as it's super easy for me to pound it out and post it

Well of course I would go for the full-body spread, notwithstanding how nice the close-up of my face is. One must use all of one's ass'ets.

Not sure which section to ask this.
How do I set a search for 2 or more words to show results? For example, I want to make sure 2014 and Drc shows up in search result. Currently if I enter 2015 drc, anything that has any of the words will show up.

Go to Advanced Search (the gear at the right end of the search box)
Put a + in front of words that must appear:
+DRC +2015

Not specific to the new features but any idea why some pictures I post end up sideways ??

[David Glasser]

Can’t explain why but the fix is to edit and save the picture on your phone/tablet/whatever before posting. Any minor edit will do: brightness, crop, etc. Does something to the metadata that keeps it from getting rotated.

Dozens of threads on the subject - it's an iPhone thing, specifically. If you edit the photo in ANY way - turn it, keep turning it until it is 'right' again - it will save properly and upload properly

[SeanHarding]

Is there some phpBB setting that logs me out every time I change IP addresses or something? Ever since this update, I get logged out ALL THE TIME and it usually seems to correlate with changing locations. Somehow none of the other sites I use do this, but WB does on both of my laptops, my phone, and my iPad.....

Do the goyim know the meaning of the word "Ungepatchka?" Because it accurately described the new site.

I would doubt it,... perhaps try another word
