RE: ?? How to upload photos to send them on to the forums ??

Beg pardon, Single Martha, which part did not work?

If for instance you used Google's image finder to locate the image, that won't work. You must follow the links to the actual source, not the Google preview.

Since this thread and its OP are suspect, if you need further advice, please feel free to email me.

RE: How long do you spend in the Bathroom?

Which bathroom? I usually shower in the central stall between His and Hers, as it's larger and has the multiple shower heads and all. But then I shave and primp in the His bathroom. Later, after I go downstairs and have my coffee and check my email, I typically go brush my teeth and check my hair in the hall bath. But if it's football season, and I've been wanting to keep an eye on the 72" plasma, I might do that in the saloon bath instead.

RE: ?? How to upload photos to send them on to the forums ??

Sure Merri, she COULD be the same gal, on another innocent site...but there's a dozen pro-model studio shots on that other site, and she's only bothered to upload 3 of the same here? And all are studio shots -- no casuals, no homemade or self-shot pics. You know of any real users with no candid or casual photos?

And, speaking of...look what she was asking for advice about. Obviously she already knows how to upload photos to her profile. But she hasn't used all that space yet and could still upload 3 more of her professional studio shots. So why does she want to post pics in the forums?

Oh, and if wholly innocent, why use different names on different sites?

You can find this helpful advice listed, even now, in CS's Help directory:

"IM:

What do I need in order to use the IM?
•Have Flash installed. You must have Flash Version 9 (or latest version)!
•Have Javascript enabled
•Have popups for this site enabled.
•Read and follow the rules below
See section on IM/Chat Problems for more information

How do I chat privately with another member?
There are several ways to do this:
1.You can click the green "IM Me" button while viewing a member's profile. This will popup an IM window where you can chat with the member. (The green IM button appears only when a member is online).

...

I would like to see who is IMing me before I accept
If you have popups enabled for this site, you will see who is IMing you. click here for how to enable popups.

With popups enabled, the IM window will popup with the member's username, age, location, and photo. You will then have the option to: 1) accept their invitation and start chatting; 2) decline their invitation and type 'no thanks'; 3) To refuse the IM by simply closing the IM window.

I am trying to IM a member, but they are not answering?
1.Make sure to type a message and press "send" button. The IM doesn't load on their end until you type and SEND the first message.
2.Be patient. It may take a minute for the IM to popup on their screen.
3.They may have recently logged off and are no longer on the site to receive your IM.
4.They may not have a browser that will work with the IM.
5.They may simply not have time, or they may not want to chat at this time.
6.They may already be IMing with someone right now.
7.Members have the right to refuse any request for IM. Don't react rudely. Don't keep IMing them. If they don't want to IM, it will only irritate them. Find someone else to IM with or visit the chatrooms or forums.
8.You can try again later, or send them an email."

RE: ?? How to upload photos to send them on to the forums ??

Yes, I forgot to mention that step: if you want to upload your photos to the forums, first you have to make sure they are YOUR photos.

tip hat Maddog.

RE: ?? How to upload photos to send them on to the forums ??

That's a problem. In short, you cannot post your own pictures to the threads here. They must come from a webpage, somewhere. A photobucket account will solve that problem.

Then, too, you can only post images to Picture Threads and Polls. (Why this is, I don't know. You can post Youtube links to any thread.)

To post, here's what you need to do:

1. Find the pic on whatever webpage it's on (like, say, photobucket). Right-click on it, select Properties, and copy the entire address.

2. In your Forums message, type this (without the extra spaces used here for illustration):

[ img ] pastetheaddressyoucopiedhere [ / img ]

3. (And MOST IMPORTANT) Use the Preview button to make sure you got it right.

RE: Should divorce be illegal for all ? After all you say till death do we part.

Couples wedding only actually say "till death do you part" when wedding in a church.

You believe weddings performed by the clerk of the court, or some other notary, are not weddings?

You believe that couples who prefer to recite their own vows, not including that line, are not married?

Or you got death on your mind? Hmmm?

RE: DO YOU THINK WRITTING IN ALL CAPS SOUNDS LIKE ONE IS TRYING TO BE .....

I must amend my own post. Although posts to CS Forums appear in serif-rich Times New Roman while you are typing them, once posted they appear in a sans-serif font.

wine

RE: DO YOU THINK WRITTING IN ALL CAPS SOUNDS LIKE ONE IS TRYING TO BE .....

Modern-day internet protocol says typing in all-caps is like "shouting", but there's more to it than that. Studies show that after three words, it's actually harder to read. So the more you do it, the more you hobble your own attempt to communicate. Why would you want that?

There's more, at least here on CS Forums, and on many other media also. The same thing about harder-to-read goes for sans-serif fonts -- the ones without the little curlicues attached to each letter. You'll notice your original post, in all-caps, defaulted to a sans-serif font, while this lower-case font contains serifs.

So, the more you type in all-caps, the more you are making it difficult to get your point across, doubly.

Also, some folk consider it "shouting." But what do they know.

RE: How to Upload a Video??

Very simple, Christine. First, hit REPLY to any post -- you don't have to actually reply -- and then, look down at the lower right for Formatting Codes. That will show you the 'syntax' you need: brackets, the quality, and brackets with a / to end.

What you want is brackets with youtube, followed by the youtube link, followed by the brackets with the / at the end. It'll look like this, except without the extra spaces I use here to illustrate:

[ youtube ] copyandpasteyoutubelinkhere [ / youtube ]

You'll use the same syntax for everything here, italics, bold face, different colors, etc., as well as posting images. (But you can only do that on Image Threads or Polls.)

RE: Men wanted - Speed Dating, Benalmádena

My guess is...first, notice that "speed dating" only happens at "speed dating" events. It's not something people do individually...so, I guess it was created to replace former "singles nights" or other such events, likely because such had difficulty attracting an equal number of males and females. The attraction of "speed dating" is, you won't get stuck all evening with someone you can't bear. By enforcing a sort of game of "musical chairs," event coordinators hope to alleviate fears of discomfort (or worse).

RE: N Korea officially at war with the South.

No, you. The Korean War of 1950-1953 has not ended. No truce, no peace treaty, and no armistice has been signed by all parties. The two states have remained "officially" at war ever since.

The opinion may not be yours, but the ignorance is. tongue

Time travel is not only possible, it is imperative and unavoidable. Consider: as you read this, you have traveled through time. You have gone 'forward' some few seconds.

RE: Who is the owner of your thoughts?

No, we must distinguish between our conscious thoughts and our subconscious awareness. MPD (multiple personality disorder) is a psychiatric diagnosis, wholly unrelated.

RE: Who is the owner of your thoughts?

I'm no expert on Einstein, but my basic grasp of the Basic Theory of Relativity is, yes, time is mutable.

Also, subjective experience tells, time is mutable. Everyone knows watched pots don't boil.

But it's a bit trickier than that. Mutable is not the same as "infinitely compressible," meaning time would have zero duration.

Also, regardless of the actual duration of our thoughts, if we perceive them in words, James Joyce style, there must be some time elapsed.
