Nifty, all my pics on all my pages are links - no borders until a month ago???

Edited to say they are "links" to larger images. See this page:

That's probably when we updated the page creation software a couple months back which was suppose to make the system run in more browsers.

It's on the list to check into.

I'm still messing around and trying to learn how to build "my page" ... but what you said here doesn't seem to be accurate. At Coopa Cabana's "my page", all of the photos are links whether they're boardered or not.
I put boarders around my pix, and made the pix all the same size in a row, in the "insert/edit image" box under the "appearance" tab. None of my pix are links. I'm still trying to learn how to do that. It might be under the "advanced" tab. That level is Greek to me. Perhaps "alternative image" means the larger link. I'm still scratching my head over "for mouse over" and "for mouse out".
All that being said ... I'd like to learn how to link my smaller pix to larger versions.

I think I found part of my problem. I've been pasting in URL's from Photobucket. I've been reducing their size before uploading to PHotobucket, so there's no large original to link to.
In Tdub4chiks' post, your upload system is mentioned. That's probably how I must upload my pix to make 'em link. The large original must be on file here so it can be linked to. ... or something like that.
I'm going to mess around and learn more ... I'll start by clicking on the "upload" link in the top blue bar.

I'm editing to say that if you don't want to look like a meat head like I do for not watching the my page instructional Youtube video ... you should watch the my page instructional Youtube video. It showed me how to properly download and create thumbs that link to full size pics, and all the other options.

MAC USERS .... or is it just fumbly me?
I finally got linked photos posted on my "my page" page this way:
Upload images to BYC. Follow the instruction video to the point where you insert a photo on your page. In your page of uploads ... highlight the image, then instead of right clicking on it for a drop menu and then clicking "copy", on your mac keyboard push cloverleaf and C to copy. Go to the page you're creating and push cloverleaf and V to paste.

Thanks for the feedback and testing! Part of the problem is how all the different browsers interact with the page creator. We're looking into these things and trying to see if we can fix them.

Unfortunately I don't have a Mac, so I'm stuck with helping much there.

Nifty, how can I change my sell date? For example, I post a sell for 5 days but I want to post for 2 days, is there a way to change the days? thanks.

Do you mean for a BSA Listing? Once posted you unfortunately can't chance the end date.
