BYC Personal Pages Upgrade

[Nifty-Chicken]

Okay everyone, check this out:

https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/pages.php

It has two columns of all the personal pages. The first is sorted in alpha order by UserID, the second is sorted by last modified date. These are updated in real time!

Nifty, that's a really neat page!

This brings up still another programming idea about page titles... I'll go post that in the appropriate place.

Hi Nifty - I'm having some trouble using some of the features like Table Properties. I keep getting a message that says "We're sorry your pop-up blocker has disabled this window" or something similar. I've turned off pop-up blocking, even turned off Norton, lowered Internet Explorer security to low, put your website in trusted sites and everything else I know but still get the message that pop-up is being blocked. I don't get it in the top toolbar like Norton does where I can click on it and tell it to allow. Any idea what's causing this and something I can do to "fix" it. I would really like to use some of the more advanced features to continue adding to my site. Thanks for any help.

Hi nifty,
I can't upload images from photobucket to "my page" . I use photobucket for my pictures in posts with no problems.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ann

Hi Ann - I can probably answer your question. When posting pics from photobucket to your my page you have to copy the code from the "URL Link" box and not the one you copy from when posting ("Image Code"). Hope that helps.

Hi Ruth,

I was having the same issue.

My solution was to create my page using Edit Plus, which is a free download, and then upload the html to your page using the "html" selection on the TinyMCE editor.

If you go to http://editplus.com you'll see where you can get a free evaluation copy. The trial says it is good for 30 days, but just like the old WinZip... you can continue to use it longer.

Hi Shari - thanks for the tip. I haven't heard back from Niffty but saw your post. I actually create web sites for people/companies as one of my "jobs" and I use FrontPage just because I've been using it for years and years. When I saw your post I realized that this site's My Page did have an html option/editor - I had missed it earlier. Now I'll just use FrontPage and jazz up my page and then copy/paste code back onto site. Thanks again.

Looks great to me!

How do you enter the coop design contest? I made a coop page in my personal pages. Does that mean I'm already entered? And when will the contest end?

 

[Nifty-Chicken]

Gracefulspice, please submit your coop page to the thread here by replying to it with a link to your page: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=11802

The coop contest will probably go on for a bit longer because it takes people a while to get their pictures together and get used to using the personal pages tool.
