Hey.....how do I get the snow pic that was under my name back? It went poof when they made the changes.

"My Profile"

"Edit my Profile"

Next to Photo "Change my Photo"

Had to do the same thing last night Don, my avatar went poof, but I was able to go back in and add it again, may take a couple minutes to update after you do it...

Everyone dislikes change!! If it helps the mobile browsing I'm all for it

Mobile skin is much improved in Ver3, although I can't switch back to the full site theme on the iPhone, have the option down at the bottom to, but it just reloads the page in mobile format. Hopefully a bug that gets fixed with time, as I have not figured out where the mod controls are in the mobile theme. :arrowhead:

I liked the old mobile skim better. But No problem with the new one! However, the IP app for the Iphone sucks ..

Just placed the page with my weather folder on the iphone. Works fine..

Gotta love how around the time that this forum changed, Youtube also changed its look. Personally I don't like what they done with that site. Too much stuff to load at once, which makes some of the videos on there a tad choppy while they're buffering. I don't even see an option to switch back to simple view. :thumbsdown:

Ok I followed your directions and I get some sort of note in red saying pic didn't load. I have tried multiple times with several pics. Any advice?

Ok, so what's your favorite Christmas movie(s)?

Christmas Vacation has to be high on the list. A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott is another favorite.

One of my top 5 favorites is "A Christmas Story." It's been a tradition to watch that movie every time it was Christmas Eve. A good way to end the night before waking up for Christmas Day.

I'll always love this one quote from that Santa in the store: "You'll shoot your eye out kid! Merry Christmas. Ho! Ho! Ho! *pushes Ralphie with his boot*

Is it just me or does everyone have the writing and images on these pages jammed over to the right? Also, anyone else having trouble getting an avatar pic loaded? Tony

My page looks fine. I'm using Firefox. My avatar ported over correctly, but I have read that some people are having problems. Sorry man. :(

Anyone had problems viewing the topics over on the Accuweather forum? Opera displayed them just fine but recently it's made it to where you can only see the very first post of that topic when you click on it to view. Not sure if it's because my settings are incorrect or it's the website itself that for some odd reason just hates Opera. It never happens when I use Mozilla.

Thank, CR and Calc! I'm using using Fire Fox 3.1 on this machine. and it looks fine. I'll try to get up an avitar with this one later. My lap top is using the latest FireFox..7 or whatever, and it is the one that is a mess. Go figure.

Yeah, it still won't import with a url for a pic from my web page. Used to work fine. Too bad, I enjoyed playing with pics, lol. T

Edit..again.... They've changed the size limits again, or something. Now I can get pics up if I make them smaller, just have to put them in the right place now.

That's definitely a good one! I also like Home Alone and HA2 and Die Hard, although not your typical, traditional Christmas movie.
