when will profile changes work?

Post by swanfaerie » Mon Jun 26, 2006 2:36 am

for quite some time now, attempts to change my profile bring up a code and it won't change. i remember an earlier thread saying profile changes should work soon, but still it be's broken.

any timeframe?

thanx,
swannie

i've found instead of using the BBCodes for some tags like

Code: Select all

[b], [i], and [u] or [url]
, it helps to use their HTML equivalents.

thanx. thing is, i want to change my sig a bit, and i want the option of hiding my online status when i'm feeling emotionally fragile and want to be invisible.

and being the computer illiterate 40-something year old that i am, i don't know what html equivalents are. :oops:

html equivalents:

Code: Select all

 bold <b></b> italic <i></i> underline <u></u> links <a href="insert url here">say what the link is here</a>
there should be a little tickybox that says "hide your online status?" -- is that still not working?

and no the tickeybox isn't working. maybe i should try harry potter's cloak of invisibility instead. :)
