I've been trying to upload a photo of my bike and I am struggling, has anyone got any good suggestions. Also in my profile I'd put in a wrong date of birth and I can't work out how to change it. Any help much appreciated. All the best.Daygan.

Havin' trouble remembering yer birthday are ya?? Well, PM Gremlin (or one of the other Admins) for assistance with fixin' yer BDay, because I don't think you can change some of those things though your own profile setup. Don't know if they've set out which Admin can do what, but Grem can point you in the right direction.

Well when you're 39 you want to stay in your thirties as long as possible,40 approaching feels a bit . I can't even work out how to get a message to gremlin at the moment, computers are definitely not my strong point. Gremlin if you do see this message, firstly hello, can you help please, I was born in the year of 1967 not 1966. Thanks mate. Still don't know how to get a photo up of my bike as well.

First you need a PhotoBucket type account from HERE or HERE then read THIS and that should be it. Many more questions are answered HEREYou should be able to change your date of birth by clicking on your name, click on modify profile, then scrolling down to the bit you want.... Let Grem or any of the Mods know if you have any problems.. Badger. By the way....click on the Red HERE , above.

Thanks Badger, still can't get it all to work don't know if it's my computer for the site. I am following all the instructions and it just won't load up no matter how small I made the image,And will still only let me display the wrong age, just giving me the choice of having my age on or off not letting me change it.

Badger, I think daygan is correct. When you click on modify your Profile you can display your birthday or not, but it appears that your birthday is added in your "signup" page and there doesn't appear to be a way to modify it on the profile page.
HELP!
By the way dagan, to email Grem, find one of his posts, click on his user name, and at the top of his profile will appear "send a PM to Gremlin" or something of that sort.

Right! I missed this thread altogether thanks to my recent absence. Time to get it sorted....... ..........hopefully. Got your PM Daygan and have replied so not going to type all that lot out again. Just had a look at Badgers' and lightspeeds' previous replies and I don't think I've told you any different to them. What kind of problems are you having? The actual size of images isn't (usually) an issue. The board itself (should) display images and avatars at a maximum size in any case. I say 'usually' and 'should' because every now and again the system overlooks the code that shrinks images and causes the odd glitch, particularly with avatars.AS I said in my PM I'll have another look at the DOB thingy. I have a feeling it can be altered by devious means but as lightspeed rightly pointed out, i'ts set as part of your signup routine. It's to do with US law or something. Personally recommend Photobucket BTW although that should not be construed as an advert (disclaimer). Been using it for a long while now, nearly all of the boards images are hosted there and it's a system that I fully understand and can easily help you with. Give it a go, other members here have taken that advice and got along with it really well. photobucket.com/

Hurray! Thanks for all help everyone , you could probably tell by now it's worked. . If you are able to change the age thing,Gremlin that would be cool, I was born in 1967 on the 13th of June, (recently turned 40 )thanks for trying but if you can't do anything about it, no worries. All the best.D

:ten: :ten: He's cracked it. Well done that man. Can't do anything about the age thing without you re-register another username and we rehash your profile. On the bright side. :sunny: maybe not a worry. You were only a year adrift and after 40 it just becomes a number anyway.
