On December 29, 805AS (2005AD) [bass]St.Michael was officially accepted into Clan [bass].

Welcome aboard St.Michael !!!

[The Black Knight]

;D
I'm happy for joining clan
We rule keep up

[[bass]-The Black Knight]

Ok. I'm confused....

somehow you posted as a guest using my name....that's not a good thing.

You have to click on Login. Then type in stmichael, just as you registered it, and then your password.

If you have any trouble, post here again.

[the black knight]

umm sorry....
didn't mean to....

[bassStMichael]

argh!!!
dunno how to check pm!!

[[bass]-The Black Knight]

Ok. Up at the top of your screen, next to the big blue bass ball. (Also Known as, "the Blue Princess") you should see text that reads:

Hey, StMichael, you have x messages, y are new

and the date.

Click on the word messages, and you can check your messages!

TBK

[bassStMichael]

sorry don't know how to do it...
i go to that file and then it ask for username and pass
then i write down that suff
then login
and they say that i must click login 1st!!!!!

[[bass]-Boss]

Let me work on this one for a bit...

I'm going to have to work out what you're doing wrong. Hang tight.

[[bass]-The Black Knight]

Ok, let me get this straight....

1) You go to flclanbass.proboards2.com

2) you click on Login

3) you type in stmichael, your password, and click the login button

4) the message at the top says you have one new message (at least)

5.) you click on the word messages

6) It tells you you have to log in again.

Ah HA! I have a thought. The login might be held in a cookie.

That is, when you log in, the forum puts a cookie on your computer to let it know that you're logged in.

If you have cookies blocked in your browser, then you can't log in properly!

Try accepting cookies, and seeing if you can log in.

I tried to send you an e-mail on this to the e-mail you have listed in your account, and it got returned to me. When you get a chance, make sure you have a good e-mail in there. That way if you get messed up with the forums (like now) I can still send you messages.

Now: Here is the message I've been trying to send you. I'm going to make it more general and post it in the reception area anyway. Read it now as IT IS IMPORTANT:

Greetings St. Michael.

Ok. You have been accepted into the [bass] clan on a probationary basis. Once our pilots have flown with you and given you their approval, you'll be given full access into the clan.

First of all [bass] stands for Base and System Services. The role playing history of [bass] can be read on our website at www.freewebs.com/flclanbass. We are a professional organization; not cops, not criminals. We are neutral, and will take on either side as the need arises.

Being a [bass] member is all about cool professionalism. We don't trash talk. We don't use put downs. We don't respond to verbal abuse with verbal abuse. We don't call anyone noob or wanker.

We don't swear. Ever. We don't cheat. Ever. We don't Mod. Ever. We don't do anything that will get us banned (and all of those will.) Not just because of the consequences, but because it is not our way.

We don't infiltrate other clans (double clanning.) You're allowed and encouraged to have untagged chars to get human intelligence with. But you are not allowed to have any other tagged characters while in [bass].

Whether we win or lose a fight, we tell the other person "Good Fight" or "GF." We don't cry about lag; we don't cry modder. If you see an actual modder, you get a screen shot if possible, and PM the admins on GOI--we don't even post it, as that would only stir up a mob.

When you're in [bass], carry yourself as if you're in a suit. Black Tie. Sunglasses. Cool. Nothing bothers you.

Our true enemies are the bullies; people who attack starfliers for fun; people who gun down droms without warning (outside of role playing the cop/crim deal.

Our enemies are those who don't treat others with respect.

If you want to go around thumping your chest, there are plenty of other clans to join and thump your chest with fellow chest thumpers.

We are the quietest clan on this server. We don't brag. We don't attack other players without requesting a duel. If someone is on our KOS they've been warned we're coming. And quite frankly, I haven't pursued any of those guys in a while. Why?

Too busy.

There is territory to win, money to make, missiles to buy, and battles to fight.

Conduct yourself well, and you will be given the passwords to the locked [bass] areas and be welcomed.

Conduct yourself poorly, and you will be asked to delete your [bass] char. Refuse to do so, and we'll have the admins handle you.

We are a fun bunch of people, but we all take this code of honor very seriously.

Take it as seriously, and you will do well.

The Black Knight

[bassStMichael]

ok ok
that charisma or karma thing how's granted to players?
and when is sum fight?!
you can count on me but I know that I am to weak for battle so keep up

[bassStMichael]

bdw how can I put picture on my profile?

[[bass]-Fleg_Matik]

G'Day St.Michael,

Good to see you've fixed your IE6 cookies / trusted sites problem and now have Limited Access while a Probationary Member.

AVATAR IMAGE

Go to your Profile and you can link your Avatar to a Photobucket site or similar online image storage. Alternatively PM the URL of your Image to me and I will edit it in for you when in Admin role. OK?

Have a poke around and see what else you can do too. Like adding an Avatar comment or a Signature URL. Proboards (this Forums Host) has good User Profile features and some Forum features I would like to use as well, but haven't had the time to do it.

No One has busted anything in the Front Office or Reception so I doubt you will. :-)

Have Fun in the Forums but Remeber to get Online and Level Up too.

See You In Space Soon!

Fleggy.

[Vengance]

G'Day St.Michael,

As you can see above I have Quoted your Last Post to this Thread. This a Forum 'Quote' rather than just a 'Reply'.

By clicking on the 'Quote' Button at the Top right Corner of the Posting's 'Frame' in the thread the original Posting can be included inside your Posting so others may read what you are refererring to without having to scroll backwards in the Forum Posts to work out which Recent Post your are commenting or talking about.

When you want to edit in a Link to a External Resource like an Avatar Image like yours ie:blog.gamRguru.ru/ img/_HoMM5_.jpg , you use the Add Tag Tool in a similar way as a Quote by Using a URL Hyper Link to the external image (that must always exist at that storage site's address on exactly the same Path).

The URL Hyperlink Button is on the Lower Button Row, 2nd From the Left, above the Message Editing Window.

BUT the URL Address YOU have provided is to a Public Game Blogging Webpage that has Weekly and Daily Content Changes as New page Content is Published.

When I went to the Home Page the following Problems occurred for Me.

1. It is written in Russian (but half of those have English URL Addresses under the Links if you hold your mouse pointer over it), I guess I could BabelFish it but even that may not translate correctly from the Russian Text either

2. With a least 200-300 URL Addresses and HyperLinks on that Page to External Webpages and Internal resources like Multimedia, Images, Videos, and Documents and Download Pages etc I was unable to find ,using the site's Search Function for any Reference to that Image file in part or whole so i think the Window Labelled Ïîèñê is expecting something like RPG entered in like this Ïðåññ-ðåëèç in order to understand the query and get a sensible response or something close in type.

3. If you want to use an image from a Changing Web Page and you cannot prevent it from Moving from that Page's Location, (the Path for the Moved Image may also change too) then you must Right Click on the Page Image (that you want) and Download and Save Target to a Local directory on your PC or the Desktop 1st.

Then you must Upload it into another External Web Site's Page that YOU do have control of as Owner and Publish it there.

If you can Share or Make that Web Page available for the Public to view, then we can use its Fixed URL Address instead, knowing that it will always be there when we refer to it in a URL link in the Future.

OR

You could do what most Forumers do Here and at GOI Forums and elsewhere on the Web and Upload to a Free Online Image Storage Website and use the URL Address the Site Provides when the image becomes avalaible for Viewing or Downloading by the Public.

So You are Linking to an External Image along an Unchanging Path to a (more or less) Permanantly Stored Image from a Recource Location that is almost always Online.

That Image will (if enclosed in the correct URL Reference Tabs) will always show up on the Forum Posts where you Copy and Paste that URL LINK into.

In the case of Your Avatar, I have a few different ways of recieving or locating it if it is on a Unchanging Download Page or other Web Based Image Resource that YOU are in Control of or have the Legal Access to Download and Use.

But remember that NOT all Images are FREE to Use without Permission, so check that the Images Site's Copyright Conditions for Image Media and other Content is NOT Violated before downloading or using for Private Use.

The [bass] Forums Provider, Proboards also has information on its Support Forums and Users Bulletin Boards that have Other Conditions that Apply to What Type of Images may be used as Content (Not Vulgar or Offensive etc) and what is Legal to Publish when the Proboards Free and Public Forums are Used for the "Special Interest" Club or Clan Forums like Ours.

I doubt that we will be shot or sued if you in-advertantly used a Privately Owned or Copyrighted Image in here, they'd initially ask us to take it down or lose the Forum if we didnt comply with the Forum Rules after I agreed to do just that when I set the Forums Up in October 2005.

Here is a URL Image Address using the same Source you suggested but with a different Image instead.

>>> weblog.gameguru.ru/img/01149.jpg <<<

If you Click on the Above BLUE Address Text String it should take you to the image on the Site, it did when i was Previewing this Postit before Posting it.

To make it show as an Image in this Post i just Highlighted the Full Address String (above) and then Click on the URL Hyper Link Button, then Click Preview or Post Reply to see if it Links and Takes the Browser to the Site as I intended it to in this Post.

The same Hyper Linked Address as Above but now with IMAGE Tabs enclosing the Address String instead.

eg:

Full_Web_Address_ Path_of_My_ Image and its na

me [/img]

The example above WILL Fail as it is an Invalid Address String, but it shows the Opening and Closing TAGs at each End of the Invalid Address that would normally be Hidden from View and Replaced by a Copy of the Image instead. Like This




So this should be an image of a D&D Lizard or something Reptilian from the same Russian Game Blogger URL Address above. I got the Exact URL Address Path by Right Clicking while the Mouse Pointerr is over the Image and Clicking on Properties where it open a Panel that show what Type of Image it is GIF or BMP or JPG etc and the Full Address Path.

Neat huh?

BUT as I mentioned earlier this Image Resource will Probably be a 404 File Not Found or a Linked Frame with no Content within it.

I can do the same trick (as such) deep inside the Forums Admin side and refer all the Click Button Objects, Smileys and Forum Page Images to my own external (and equivalent) Online Web Content Archive rather than use the Default Content that Proboards provides.

<--- My Admin Avatar and Signature Below Is stored on this Forum but i could just as easily leave it where it was, where I Uploaded it to ImageBucket and use enclosing Image or URL Tags to 'fetch' and return a copy into the Forum Avatar and Signature Image Address Windows in my Member's Profile and acheive the same result.

After writing and reading back over this NOT unusually long Article when i should be sleeping by now..I had one morer, closer look at what you supplied for an Address and 'noticed' a little white space in this bit

\ img\.

So thats why it didnt upload and in Point No.1 why it wouldn't show up when I went looking for similar images searching in English NOT Russian.




So Now it Works and I can have a long restful nap and forget about it for a few days. Mebbe the other Admin will patch it in your Profile if you havent by the time you have reached the end of Probation.

(i'm really stuffed actually, it has been a long weekend of Freelancing and [bass] Stuff on and off Goi.)

See You whereeever soon..

Fleggy...................as Admin.
