Endlessnight Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Thank you Mark. I will be going to get our Ramadan breakfast ready in about twenty minutes so if anyone is on could they please let me know? If not, I will be on again after breakfast which will be in about one hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endlessnight Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 My blog is too!! One thing about my photo...I keep trying to upload a pic from my computer and it keeps telling me it's too big!!!Oh by the way, I like your forehead..its very professorial. And thanks for your help!I have to go help my sister in law and her mother get breakfast ready now but I wanted to say that this is the first year I am breaking fast with them. I have always eaten alone in my room, but I decided whether they want me or not i'm going to eat with them and not alone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malign Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I didn't do it, M. It must've been Beth; embarrassingly, I've never had to enable a blog, and I've forgotten Beth's magical incantation. ;-)Hey, that's great. :-) You might even find that you've been missed.

Endlessnight Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Nah. All my brother does is shake is head at anyone and everyone, over the least little nothing so it's like eating while sitting on needles but i'm going to do it anyway. But what about my pic? All the ones i've downloaded from the net seem to be too big, but what does that mean?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endlessnight Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Okay I got the picture figured out finally! Now I have another question...how do I add pictures to my gallery? I opened the gallery page and it says I don't have any yet - so how do I make a gallery (actually i'm not really sure what it means by 'gallery') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malign Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I can tell you're bored, M. :-)Galleries are another feature we haven't enabled yet. In the past, it has seemed too difficult to check every picture someone uploaded to the site (you can imagine the spam possibilities). We would almost certainly have to pre-approve them, otherwise some pretty objectionable content could get through, even if only briefly (it's the ones without their briefs that we're worried about ...)The problem with a lot of these features is that they're intended for a social networking style of site, but those tend to be commercial and can afford an army of moderator employees. We're all-volunteer. Some features don't make as much sense in our somewhat more protected, but significantly more concerned about privacy, environment. So part of it is that it will require work to enable the features, but mostly it's that it will require some difficult policy decisions.

Endlessnight Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Mark - how did you guess? There is a long wait until sunset when we eat our breakfast so I've been trying to make the time go more quickly by coming online a lot. Thanks for explaining things to me and I'm sorry i'm being such a bother about everything.Keep checking those briefs! Take care, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malign Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 'Cause you've described it before, and 'cause I'd go completely crazy in the same circumstances unless I had something to focus on ... :-)You're not a bother, dear. It's more that I feel a bit guilty for not having taken care of all the admin details for the new site yet. And you didn't say I should; that one's my problem.

Endlessnight Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Mark, don't beat yourself over it. You and the other administrators are doing a great job. Thank you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notmary Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 HiI dont know where my blog is. I dont know what is wrong with me but I cant find it. Am I not allowed to be on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Of course we want you here with us, Mary. You are a member of our community and we value your presence here. I'm very happy to see you here at the new forum! I have been concerned so it's good to see you back here with us.Your blog is here, Mary, no worries. I will help you. First I will explain. When the blogs transferred over from MentalHelp.Net, the privacy settings did not. We had to disable all of the blogs in order to protect the privacy of our members. The only person who is able to change the settings is the blog owner. I can help you with accessing your blog. I have been trying to pm you about how to do that, but your mailbox is full so I have been unable to.First thing to do will be to empty your mailbox to below 50 messages. If you would like to keep any, there is an option to archive. Go to the top right of the page where your screen name is. To the left you'll see a letter icon. Click on this and then 'View all messages' to start deleting your old messages. You can also reach your mailbox by clicking on the arrow next to your screen name and hitting 'personal messenger.' Once you are below 50, I can pm you with more help about this if you need further assistance.To access your blog, it would be best if we were online together at the same time. At this point I can enable your blog and give you instructions about how to set the privacy options to your level of comfort. I would be happy to help you set up your blog, Mary. I know the move and site differences can be distressful. We are your friends and we are here to support you.Welcome to the new forum, Mary. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
