Hi there staff,

When going to My Controls > Personal Profile > Change Personal Photo...



... I find that neither "Enter a URL to an online photo image" nor
"upload a new image from your computer" are working.

The former gives this information...

QUOTE

The error returned was:

That is not a valid URL for your Photo. We do not allow dynamic pages in the IMG tags

...for this link...

http://www.coothead.co.uk/images/avatar-400x400.jpg

...and the latter just displays this...

Photo

Uploaded File (200 X 200)

Is this due to outdated software or just a gremlin in the works?

I'm afraid basically everything with images are f*cked up here.

Hi there pandy,

thanks for the thumbs down

While I am here, is a lack of email notification of replies to my posts also fucked up?

No, not as I'm aware. I have notifications turned on and I get them.

I'm sorry I can't help more. But mods have limited access. We care, but we can't do anything.

I snatched that smilie. I used to love it but had lost it. I think it even was called the same.

But then again I have notifications for all new posts turned on, so I guess I wouldn't notice if notification for replies to my posts didn't work... I just realized that.

We have to ask Christan. He didn't use notifications last I heard, so he could test it.

We tested this a while ago (https://forums.htmlhelp.com/index.php?showtopic=61065) and it seems I could get email notifications; but at irregular times, as if the forum sent out digests at random.

As for images, this one attachment didn't make it either: https://forums.htmlhelp.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=61206&view=findpost&p=144786 I recall some image formats work better than others (JPG? PNG?) when uploading attachments.

That isn't actually true.

As I pointed out to the original poster...

But that was when there was an email hickup and that's over. And I thought you tested to subscribe to forums, as I have it? The OP only wants notifications for answers to his own posts.

Posted by: coothead Jan 18 2023, 09:39 AM

That is correct, but bear in mind that I will not loose
any sleep over it as I visit all the coding forums to
which I am a member at least once a day.

I only get a broken image icon, followed by the ALT text "IPB Image". But when I open http://www.seaside-printing.co.uk/images/logo.gif directly I can see a large image.

Posted by: Christian J Jan 18 2023, 10:17 AM

Oh, can't remember what we did. I've enabled notification for all replies now...

Posted by: Christian J Jan 18 2023, 11:21 AM

Email notification seems to work for me (at least once so far). Make sure you haven't set it to daily or weekly digest...

Posted by: coothead Jan 18 2023, 12:27 PM

These are my current settings...



Does that look correct or have I made an elementary schoolboy error?

There's a dropdown as well, currently set to "No Email Notification".

Posted by: Christian J Jan 18 2023, 02:00 PM

Now I keep getting notifications even though I disabled it.

Edit: seems you have to stop existing subscribed Topics from another place (the Subscriptions menu).

Posted by: coothead Jan 18 2023, 03:42 PM

Yep, as I half expected, I made an elementary schoolboy error.

I don't have 20/20 vision and completely missed that dropdown.

I've been here since the forum was first installed and I still miss things.
