Why are there symbols   next to my SMILEYS face ?

Where? Just above the window where you write your message? You see text instead of smileys? Or are you talking about the window WHERE you type your message?

An avatar is a little picture that appears under your name on the forum. There are 2 ways you can get an avatar.

Either way, do this first: Click on Profile >> Modify Profile >> Forum Profile

First Way: Choose from gallery
Two galleries came with the message board, Actors and Musicians. I just added Sports Teams. Make requests for avatars to be added to these categories in a reply to this message and I'll add them as long as I can find them. I don't intend to add more categories ... the pictures in the gallery are on this website's server and take up space so I want to keep it minimal. (Plus they have to be added one-by-one ... very time consuming.)

If you have a picture of your own that you want to use, send it to me and I'll crop it, if necessary, resize it and upload it for you.

Second Way: Specify URL
If you find a picture on the web that you want to use, all you have to do is enter the address a.k.a. location a.k.a. URL.

If you're using Firefox, right-click on the picture and select View Image Info. Copy the "Location" and paste it into your profile.
If you're using IE, right-click and select Properties. Copy the "Address" and paste it into your profile.

For best results, the pictures you choose should be square ... same width and height ... because they will be resized to 60 x 60 pixels automatically when they appear here. Also, please, don't use animations ... they can be distracting to readers.


Here's a good site to use with the "Second Way" ...

Have Fun!

One of our members sent this to me ... ya' gotta see it!

I didn't like the default smileys that came with the message board so I installed some from the old message board and some new ones. Besides the ones you see above, you can click on "[more]" right below them and see more to choose from. If you hover over them a second a one-word description as to what they represent will come up.

          Copy and Paste,Hillarious!!!

Mirrorcheck .... when you first posted that, was it not a link? I had the same problem with a link I posted, then when I went back to the page it was a good link. Let me know ... trying to find out what the problem is ... if there is one.

Hey, Jake! Welcome aboard. I'm guessing you got a computer ...

No need ... it's a clickable link.

Funny!

Will you be posting any other info on when we attend ?  :-[

Here, you pain in the ass. Anything else you want me to do for you? 


By the way, according to Rudy, if you have a share on that day it has been covered. ( I stress that this is as per Rudy.)

Quote from: mirrorcheck on January 07, 2011, 01:41:02 AMOn the flip side, Buzz to your knowledge was there any language in the Contracts with the DOE and the Contractors Guaranteeing "X" amount of union working Companies(1181) or Capping any work  out to Non-union companies. The more concerning issue is the "alarming growth...like weeds" of Non union contractors.

Nope. The DoE can give new work to any company they want, union or not. 1181 has nothing to say about it.

Forgot to copy them again. You want to volunteer?
