Geoid Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I am trying to download from my photos file and it says to leave the size blank but, every time I try and download 'webpage not available' comes up! Off to bed now with something hot and chocolaty! Casserole Korma Kiev What do you mean by 'my photos file' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Fred....the My Photos file is on my laptop. I click on the appropriate link and it takes me to My Photos and I click on the one to add as avatar and then it shows on the space on the Omlet page as Jp whatever so I click ..can't remember if its reset or submit and then it whirs away and tells me that the web page is unavailable, I groan and swear a bit and then give up! Go on...tell me what a dingbat I am Casserole Korma Kiev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 OOOhh, everyone is so lovely and I'm getting more embarrassed by the minute Thanks for the offer, Claret, but its half term so best steer clear!!! Say no more:roll: Luckychickenlover, I think it must be a Jpeg as it says JP followed by a number! I havn't done anything about the size as the instructions say leave it balnk and it'll size itself! OH is in for a treat tonight; been away since early hours of Monday and back tonight to an IT session; at least I planted the potatoes, beans and lettuce!!!!! Maybe I should just stick to gardening!

I havn't done anything about the size as the instructions say leave it balnk and it'll size itself! Jp and the numbers is the name of the file, although you're probably right about it being a Jpeg. If you go to My documents/ the location of your file, then right click on it and go to 'Properties', what does it say it's size is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Ahhh, thanks Luckychickenlover. Will have a look at that. I WOULD like to say I had done it myself rather than caving in and asking OH Going to give it another go when the boys are in bed and I can CONCENTRATE!!

soapdragon Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Nope! Still saying 'web page unavailable' referring to Omlet avatar set up thingy so maybe its not me after all!!! Casserole Korma Kiev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Nope! Still saying 'web page unavailable' referring to Omlet avatar set up thingy so maybe its not me after all!!! It's probably something to do with the issues the forum is having at the moment. Try again when it's fixed, probably in a few days. Casserole Korma Kiev Do you want to put that in your signature? It's basically the same, but will mean that you don't have to type all of that out every time you make a post. Go to "User Control Panel" on the top left of any page, then "Profile", "Edit Signature". Then you can type out the names of your chickens etc and submit it the same way you submit posts.

soapdragon Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks, Luckychickenlover! I'm such a Luddite! Guess I won't be applying for a job on the Hadron Collider anytime soon!!!!!!!

Sam Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I wondered weather you want to put your chickens and your eglu into your signature I noticed you typing it out every time! There will be a sigh of relief when you manage to get an avatar!! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
