Margaret, are you there!!! Can you hear me It seems incredibly quiet on the forum, but that does happen periodically. I have been on every day, just checking in. I hope life is treating you well in Scotland. HOT, here, and getting hotter. Got up to 35C today, and supposed to be hotter tomorrow and Saturday. I got out early and did my walk, banking and shopping. Then I just close up the house and turn up the a/c. Don't know what I'd do without it! The house is situated so I get full sun in the back windows in the morning, and the front windows in the afternoon, so close and open blinds to beat the heat! Summer has arrived!!!

Oooh we appear to have been changed - a few things looking a bit wonky right now but some extra features like the 'like' button.
Hope everyone manages to log in to the new board okay!

Wow. That was more complicated than anticipated. I kept entering my email address, because it clearly said email address, and it turns out they wanted my username. I think. No idea what happened actually, I think they just got sick of attempting to torment me.
Anyway. Change. I like it not. Hopefully the smilies have improved though!

Well it's all new so we'll soon get used to it. I liked to see the country people were from though. But I can look up profiles I suppose. Well done to the Guys who did all the work xx

Oh yes, the location bit has gone. Have we lost karma too? Looks that way, I guess the 'like' thing replaces it - bad luck Anaira, no more smiting for you!
We lost the banner and I managed to get that back - the appearance definitely needs a spruce up to make the categories more defined but will have to leave that as it is for now.
If anyone would like me to put their profile picture back in, just post (or PM me) the link to the picture and I'll stick it in for you. But feel free to keep the alien baby look if you like it!

Help needed. I am totally rubbish with computers, how do I put photos and a wee picky where my name is? My hubby is learning how to scale down photos as they are too large for forum to accept. Maybe it will be plain sailing after that but any advice would be great . Someone kindly offered to put them on if I emailed them but I can't remember who that was. Thank you x

Ooh it was me Margaret!
If you upload them to a photo storage place like photobucket (you need an account), I think they give you the option to resize them as you do it? Then you can link them from there. I haven't been on for a while though, and now the upload function here works a lot better, if you can get to grips with resizing them that'll probably be easier. What software are you using to resize them? I use paint shop pro to resize mine but that's not a free program - maybe someone else can suggest a nice and easy to use one?
To set your avatar (the picture next to your name) - go to your 'profile' via the link under the main forum banner at the top. Choose 'edit profile' from the options at the right and in the middle there should be a link to 'upload' your own image, so you just need to find it on your computer - it'll allow you to browse the files on your computer. But if that doesn't all end up being simple, if you email me the image you'd like, I'm happy to stick it on for you. treenspigs@yahoo.com

I use Photobucket, as the regular photo file size won't even fit in an email. On Photobucket, you can set the photo size to the size accepted by Wheekers, then every photo you post to Wheekers is the right size. I don't know the other photo processing sites, but with Photobucket, there are four choices for each photo. The bottom choice, which is just a mouse click, copies the photo image. They you just go back to the post on Wheekers and paste the image; instant photo. No need to follow a link. Also, if you remove one of those images, it leaves an empty box in the post, so anyone reading back posts knows the photo was removed. Moving a photo from one file location to another Photobucket, such as taking photos from the main default area and putting them in labeled files, will end the connection to Wheekers. Just need to copy and paste it again, from the new location.
Photobucket also has an 'avatar' size you can use for any photo you want as an avatar on Wheekers. You can make a copy of the photo in avatar size, so the main photo stays the same. The initial Photobucket is free, and holds an incredible number of photos. It just has a lot of ads you don't get if you buy the more advanced version. I've been on Photobucket for over 10 years, and haven't come close to using up my free space.

Are you providing any refreshments while we wait?! A glass of wine and some crisps would go down well!
