Title: Posting info.
Post by: The Woodsiders on January 31, 2011, 06:07:45 pm
Hi, fairly new to this site but can anyone tell me why some of my posts, especially in the 3 word stories have got a red cross by them with the word remove, are they classed as unsuitable or am I just not doing it right??????

you will have to contact Dan on this one. I see that Daisysmum has the same red cross

Have you tried to add a photo against your log in name? Looks like it won't open, the 'x' shows it as an error.

You always have the option to remove your own posts - but I don't think anyone else (except Dan) can remove them.
As for red cross - I think that's connected with your picture/avatar - they have to be less than 100 x 100 pixels I think to load successfully.

Thanks for your responses, I have tried to upload my own picture without sucess despite having been given hep by another member, reckon the system thinks my picture is too scary, will try to get rid of the red cross.

Thanks again

On your own posts, there are three buttons top right - Quote, Modify and Remove. The Remove one has a red cross. On other folks' posts, you'll only see Quote. The two extra buttons allow YOU to change or remove YOUR posts. No-one else can - apart from Dan as the Moderator.

I've always thought the Hilarysmum pic is of a dog on a bed grabbing a ball ??

No that is definitely a pig - mostly black with some white.  Front feet on the floor back feet on the bed or sofa ;D ;D ;D

Really? I would never have seen that. I thought those back feet you describe were a dogs mouth around a ball  8)  (I did rubbish with those 'hidden' pictures too where you had to stare at it then guess what it was).

And yours is you holding a baby?

I bet no-one knows what mine is either......

At a guess Oh la la I'd say yours was garden with a bee hive ?
HM's is (I think) Hilary the pig getting up onto the bed  ::) But then Hilary is a law unto herself  ;) :love: ;D

I think I can see a brown field gate on the left but the big white thing looks a bit big in relation to that for a beehive.

Yes, absolutely right, that's me and my first granddaughter, Beth, the day after she was born in 1998

Old but tasty (and still fruiting in abundance) Apple Tree on the left, old white WBC beehive towards the rear.

The picture (not a good one) is of Hilary (pig) climbing on to our bed.  It was just after her first farrowing, she made an attempt to move indoors.  OH was looking for her and had the camera in his hand as he had just taken photos of the babies.

Still haven't got to the point of posting an avatar on here :o  Scary thought of trying to work out how but if nobody can see what they are then not sure of the point ???

That's exactly what I have always thought about avatars!  Why can't they be hyperlinked so you can pull it up full size?
