Am I Missing Somthing?

[+Shadow's]

If so how or where do I get it. Oh, Im talking about attachments, being able to add photos in my account or being able to upload files to my cache page.

Several people are trying to help me but what they are telling me to do just isnt there or I just cant find the place to do it.

I also cannot save my password to any page here. I mean that if I leave this area and go to my controle pannel I have to enter a pass word and vice versa. Got a note that my cookies must be turned off, checked not turned off.

Whats going on.

If you're talking about adding photos to your Gallery, you can't, directly. The Gallery is a collection of photos that you've uploaded to the logs of caches, events, travel bugs, benchmarks, and cache pages you own. When you've uploaded images to any of those, they will appear in your Gallery.

 

You can't upload any files, except image files. And those can only be uploaded to logs, cache/bug pages, and your personal profile.

 

As for your password, did you check the "remember me" box when you signed on?

Yes I do each and every time. Still dont work.

Can you tell how he does this then.

I save the images as JPEG fies. Then the Image must be placed on the internet, I do this by adding the image to my file under my profile, Next I copy the URL for the JPEG and place it in the HTML below. The X's represent the URL for the JPEG

<img src="XXXxxxxxxxxx">

Do not use the X's I just placed them as a referance. When you load the cache page you will have to select the bos that says the description below is in HTML

Adding the code message to my cache page is a pain. Others tell me its simple even to them. Now that makes me feel real good

Is there a program somewhere that will take the guess work out of doing this? Somthing you can just type in your message and it puts it in html?

Thanks

Here is a helpful page.

 

If you are still having problems, email me and I'll see if I can't help you. I use pictures on many of my cache pages, and I upload pictures to this page all the time, and then "Copy" the URL of the picture from there.

 

That page is always open in my browser (Opera) as another "tab." Maybe because of that, and because I also leave the "My Account" page, and these Forums open as separate tabs, I rarely have to re-login in.

 

You do have to use your password if you make changes to your Profile page, however.

I dont know. I have used the same page you are talking about but will not work. When I work on my cache ideas I use microsoft word does this make any difference? Does it make any difference as how you save a file?

Look at Lateral thinking cache. The code there is what I want to do but useing a different faunt that I scanned into my computer. I took that scanned file then did a cut and past to get the code I want to use on the cache page. I then saved this so I could add it to the cache page when I had everything ready. Now I cant do anything with it as far as the cache page.

I use this wonderful little text editor, Notespad to create my cache pages, if I don't write the HTML directly into the GC.com form.

 

That program doesn't add extraneous code to the page as MS Word will if you are creating a file you are going to save in the .html format.

 

If you want to use a different font, you have to designate it using HTML, but if someone doesn't have that font on their computer, it won't work the way you want it to.

 

So, for the cache you asked me to look at, the person used a font like Wingdings and then created an image.

 

For something like that, do a "Print Screen" and then Paste into into a Graphics-Editing program as a .jpg. Crop it to size, then you upload that and use HTML to link to it. You can use Paint if you don't have a different graphics program.

[+Shadow's]

What king of Graphics-Editing program do you use?

[+Miragee]

I have Corel PhotoPaint Version 7. It came with CorelDraw 7. You can get older versions of that fantastic software very inexpensively on eBay.

 

You can also use Irfanview, which is a free download, but "Paint" can be used for really basic stuff.
