Thanks Buck. Flickr's new policy of making an IMG code link contingent upon the image linking back to Flickr is a multi-step pain. I'm not keen on the way Flickr resizes all images and adds even more steps to drilling down to the original file size. I've created a Flickr set with all of our banners but hopefully we won't have to use it.

I've just finished setting up a new Photobucket account and a new MOM album. The banners are there, but not yet individually titled. Unless you prefer to wait, go to the link below, dig around and click on your banner thumbnail, copy the IMG code to the right of the banner image and paste it into your Signature field under Profile/edit/Profile Information.

This month's new M.O.M day is a red letter occasion for me; among our three new MOMrades is a friend and Ace I've been trying to lure into our web for at least a year, along with a promising new Prodigy and a great new contributor to our thread who's also a great player:

INoSpeakAmericano

. Sgt. York!

Primal


Your new home's the MOModrome!

Americano is one of those annoying kids who knows more about computery stuff than you and I will ever know. He's promised to overclock every one of our devices so we can kick the collective ass of everyone in Dogf...oh...wait...we already do! So, he can learn ya's how to Twit yer Tweeter. #@cool!

York, aside from being the most decorated soldier in WWI who never saw the inside of a plane, is someone with whom we're already familiar from his recent posts here. He's already like family...now he can throw out the "like"!

Last but certainly not least since he's been first on my list for at least a year, M.O.M's newest MORAF, Primal, is as nice a guy as will ever shred you in red. I couldn't be more pleased to have him having to adhere to Rule 11! I've been waiting a while and a half to say...welcome, P!

Happy early Valemtimes, M.O.Ms!

Now then, who wants CAKE?

--w--



Apologies for a belated welcome, newest MOMsters, to the squad, otherwise known as the momentous señores, in some circles.

The lag in processing your initiation ritual new-member orientation was caused by snow storms last week that delayed the return of the folks in HR from a corporate brainwashing retreat. Please forgive them. They are still recuperating from the sodium pentothal and electroshock sessions jetlag.

Anyhoo ... As per usual, please report to Human Resources, Room 6, at 0300, for the obligatory marathon re -screening of the XXII Winter Olympics opening ceremonies orientation class.

If there's so many problems with the banner issues, couldn't people just download their own banner and keep it on their computer?

Or do you need a BBcode to post an image here?

If you do need BBcodes, each individual member could get their picture banner and upload it to imgur or something like that so at least they would have a BBcode.
I've done that before on other forums and my images are still there from years ago.

Additionally, Imgur shouldn't be to complicated for the tech-un-savy, you just click "Upload" and once it's done it gives you a place to copy a BBcode already typed for you.

Here's a test image BBcode from Imgur.com:


(Also thanks bopes for posting that I hadn't seen that previously)

Hi M.O.M.s
Sorry it's been so long since I have posted. It's been a busy winter, with work, plowing driveway, snowmobiling, plowing some more, and more snowmobiling! Trying to get a few games in here and there. I Miss You Guys!

Well, now you've done it, Wig! You've finally motivated me to go through the technically agonizing "banner change"...and, while the result is most definitely an improvement, I will be sending you Amicus Curiea documents when my significant other files for divorce... :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Americano's suggestion is a great one, something I believe Luna had already recommended; each M.O.M establishes his/her own account on Photobucket or Imgur and stores his/her banner and graphics there. Photobucket strikes me as somewhat more forum friendly. With our primary Photobucket album we crashed into the bandwidth wall; number of views of an image are tallied and "spent" against the account limit, in this case 10GB. If each of us has a 10GB account (easily gotten by first signing up for the free 2GB account then installing the free mobile app for a bonus 8GB) or even the entry level 2GB account that should be more than enough to keep from running out for a good long time.

The process of setting up an account isn't much more complicated than what you're already accustomed to doing to access the images I've uploaded for you. You're still welcome to use the new main album I've created but having your own would ultimately be cleaner, easier and more efficient.

Any M.O.M interested in following up on this but unsure of how to go about it should let me know, I'll be more than happy to get you rolling.

I have another question, however, will this probably delay the making of new banners?

If this is too huge of a problem, will the time available to make new banners just have to be cut and those with no or unrecoverable banners just have to make their own?

I guess my real question is, how huge of a problem is this actually, and how fixable is it?

ATTENTION ALL M.O.M MEMBERS.

New Banner Info

Gentlemen, when Rick sends you the link to your banner, please click it and fully open the image....then save the image to your device, then upload to your profile.....

This will alleviate the pressure placed on the photobucket account.

once this is done and you have a banner in place, pm Rick so he can erase it from the account. This will not affect your banner as it is stored on your own device and not on the over pressured photobucket account.

if you need to then you can set up your own personal photobucket account for free, this is what I did and why I still have my banner in place.

N.B. if anyone needs any assistance on the matter I will be on hand to help. (My road is flooded here in the uk so I wont be going anywhere in the near future)

I have tried to do this, but when I click on it, it will not bring up a message to "copy or cut". It takes me to photo bucket, when I click it. It goes to the banner before mine or after mine.

I am very good at breaking things, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Gizmo, click on the 'Profile' tab at the top.
Then near the top right corner, click 'edit'
Next, click 'Profile Information'
Scroll to the bottom and you'll see a field for your signature. Paste into that field including the IMG tags.
