Trouble with that link is it leaves you in 'Plain' when you 'update' which is sorta like being snowblind.

Happily, I still had another window open in Alabasterd and the ~change~ came thru there.


~jwf~ (quite happy to see so many others flocking around with wings)

anhaga, I went to the link, I changed nothing but when I came back here the page went to plain text on a white background. All the graphics except the smileys are gone. What's going on?

Sorry!

I was trying to copy Lil's link from post 412 over here F77636?thread=7218049&post=92196157#p92196157 and the only way I could make it show up as a link was with the whole http bit at the front. Can you get back to normal with the My Preferences tab?

try deleting 'plain' from the address bar

Tried deleting plain, didn't work, still snowblind.

If you go to 'preferences', what does it say your skin is?

Brunel

hmm.

how about if you sign out and sign back in again?


for me, if I follow my link I go snowblind but if I simply delete 'plain/' from the address bar and hit enter everything goes back to normal. I'm in brunel as well, BTW, but I also tried it after resetting myself to goo, and the deleting thing worked then as well.

I have to go out for a bit, Tumbsup. I hope that gets sorted.

oh. I just thought. How about if you type 'brunel' in where 'plain' is in the address bar?

Signed out and in again.

Anhaga, you forgot to use the brackets <./> UserDetails?skin=plain </.> without the spaces

To get rid of the plain, just delete from the url and replace it with your prefered skin


lil xx

Ooh! It works even with the spaces

I wanted to remind you of the brackets <./> </.>

I'm not sure where I'm supposed to put the brackets, Lil.


On a different subject, Vip dropped by the Canadian Researchers' Club page earlier today looking for advice. It seems Vip and Mr Vip are going to be spending a week this June in our fair country's first National Park (Banff, for the history-challenged). I've offered my suggestions (mainly 'Don't Feed the Animals!!!')

If any others have ideas (or welcomes) the thread is here: F122884?thread=7290251

Is there a glacier in Banff?

*a* glacier?

Well, to lead with something big, there are the Columbia Icefields on the border between Banff and Jasper Parks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Icefield

and, to follow:

'Banff National Park has numerous large glaciers and icefields, many of which are easily accessed from the Icefields Parkway. Small cirque glaciers are fairly common in the Main Ranges, situated in depressions on the side of many mountains. . . '

By the way, for those who remember, I've been in communication with both Mudhooks and Rev Paperboy and certain that Mudhooks did not get in under the wire to update her sign in and I'm pretty certain that the Paperboy didn't either. Also, Taliesin mentioned just before the change that he was having trouble with the change. I'm going to send him an email in just a moment to check.

It would perhaps be good to find out who is still here, and who has come back in another form.

I'm back, needed to re-enter/retype my password(so slight wrinkle), but things went smoothly otherwise.

I've had a message from zoomer that he made it through and another from Taliesin that he hasn't as of now, but that the tech people are looking at an error concerning his situation that they've not encountered before.

There's a choice?
