Imageshack isn't working...Anyone else having the same prob?
Any alternate sites which i can use to host the pics

Technocrat · 31st May 2007, 11:41

Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket (needs registration which is free)

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

these are the sites which allow free hosting, am sure there are more.

Rehaan & Manaa45, not a very good idea - once we write in MS Word, we tend to do a copy-&-paste into the threads. This will cause the formatting data to be carried into VBullettin. You dont even need to save it in Word - Just type it in there, and copy into VBUlleting and you will get something like this:

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Copy-Paste from MS-Word[/SIZE][/FONT]

Instead of MS Word, try using the notepad. No formatting issues.

Hi,

Just observed that max amt of space for entering Messenger Id's in profile is not enough in my case. e.g. my Yahoo messenger id is a bit long and the full name appears excluding the m in .com. It does not allow any additional characters.

Can something be done.

Viper

Yes. Imageshack doesn't let me upload pictures from ANY of the computers at home. Neither does Photobucket and a couple of other websites I tried.

I use flickr followed by "copy image location" - but it is VERY slow and resizes pictures to a much smaller size. Also, it doesn't support posting Thumbnails on Forums.

Hope this helped.

I dont know if it was discussed earlier but there is a small problem with the smiley, for example if we write a post and insert a smiley and post it till the it is ok the smiley is visible but when we edit the post the smiley does not show while editing but when we complete the editing smiley comes back. with this issue it is very difficult to edit post with smiley and the result we add more smiley than required.

Yup it's a known issue i guess, but you can see smiley if you go advanced in your reply.

Sorry Viper, I just checked and there isnt a way to increase this in the vbull options.

During a public poll, before i cast my vote, i am able to see the names of the voters. But as soon as my vote is registered, i cannot see the names. Is that intentional or could it be rectified ?
thanks

Hi esteem_lover

I just checked. A public poll will remain just that...before and after you vote. I dont see any error out there. Can you PM me an example where you are facing this problem?

After i voted

@esteem_lover, you have to click on one of the numbers, i.e. 100 or 88 to see the voters. Directly you will see the "poll summary" + the posts. When you click on the numbers you will see all the members
