Thanks for starting this thread rhythm.

Karen, I've sent you an email, please get back to me when you can. Thanks all of you for trying to help, very much appreciated, apologies for the rant.

Cheers,

If the option to send a personal message is different than the option to send an email, than I have the same issue as majorion.
I tried to solve the problem by following links regarding "Private Messaging" and how to "Send a Private Message" from the FAQ.
I got this message:

vBulletin Message

ubiquitousquintessence, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Also, I can't figure out how to respond to "Visitor Messages" in my profile.

Thanks

Thank you rhythm!

Once you have made a set number of posts and/or have been a member for a certain amount of time the PM capability gets switched on automatically by the system. Your account will likely get switched in the next few days.
Hope this helps

Hi. Can anyone tell me how to embed youtube clips on my post as I can only leave links. Also how do you leave links without showing the long address, ie Edit Avatar?

Type [/youtube]at the end of the link and [youtube]at the beginning. Don't leave any spaces.

Type [url= page link... ] then insert your text to show up . Don't leave any spaces. Type : /url in brackets at the end again to close .

Don't be afraid to experiment, use the preview button under the post if not sure how the result looks like.

It's an old computer code system working for most other similar functions too.

Regards and blessings

Hi gita

Insert the youtube file code between [youtube] and [/youtube] tags.
so if the youtube vid url is 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vHRwmFc-1o 
the following is typed: 

[youtube]1vHRwmFc-1o[/youtube]

it should look like this

Highlight the word(s) you want to link like that in the edit post window, then click the insert link icon and paste in the link.
The highlighted text will now be linked to the entry you inserted.

[gita]

Agape and Gaialove – Thank you both so much and the example was a great help too. I feel almost clever now!!

One more question;

How do I embed one of my pictures from my own computers onto the forum?

[mudra]

Hello Gita,

If you want to post your own pictures on the forum you need to download them first in your albums.
There is a link to create an album on the right side of your profile page.

Once downloaded there you click on it and save the URL of the image .
Then paste it into the " insert image " icon of your quick reply box .
Don't remove what comes highlighted there .. just paste the URL.

Let us know how you are doing.

Have a good time in Avalon.

Love Always
mudra

As a member, you can create Albums of images that are linked to your public profile. Albums can be created by visiting the User Control Panel, and clicking on the 'Pictures & Albums' link, and then clicking on 'Add Album'.
Each album can have a title ('Joe's Holiday to Nepal'), a description ('A bunch of photos from my recent adventure') and can be of three different types: Public, Private or Profile.

• Public albums can be viewed by anyone
• Private albums can only be viewed by site staff (moderators, administrators) and your Friends and Contacts (info)
• Profile albums are viewable only by you. However, you can use the images to customize your public profile (info)

Once you've created an album you can upload images to it. Simply view the album and click on 'Upload Pictures'.
You'll have the option to give each picture a caption, and to set one image as the Album cover, which will be displayed on the public profile. To delete an album or edit the title, description or album type, click on 'Edit Album'. To delete an image, or to edit a caption or change the album cover, click on 'Edit Pictures'.

All members who have access to your album images can comment on them, in a similar way to Visitor Messages (more info). You can delete any image comments from your albums, and report inappropriate messages to moderators.

When you have uploaded a picture, you can place it in your posts by using the BB code text that is displayed below the image when you view it at full size.

Hope this is helpful.

Thank you Gaialove and Mudra. You both been a great help. I've managed to so far get an album cover - Now I have to find some photos to load up!

Mudra - I seem to be thanking you quite a lot lately. x
