1. POST
PICTURES
In order to
post pictures, they must get uploaded to your temporary
file. To upload, do this:
When you post you type
inside the text box. There should be a button that says
"Insert Object". This button is either just below the
text box and has a finger pointing to the right, OR it
is a tiny yellow button just above the text
box.
Whichever you have, click that.
A
dialog box should pop up.
Click on Temporary
Files
Click on Upload
Click on Browse
Select
the photo & click OPEN
Click Upload (right next
to Browse)
They should then be uploaded into your
temporary files.
Just click on the file you uploaded and press the
insert image link at the bottom of the dialog
box.
SPECIAL
NOTES:
They must be GIF, JPEG, or PNG files.
BMP's will NOT upload.
They do have a size limit so
if you can resize to about 450 width that should
work.
No spaces or funky characters in the file name.
An Underscore "_" is okay.
2a. POST PICTURES IN
YOUR SIGNATURE BOX
First you
need to create a "Realm". A Realm is a
place where you can store pictures that don't
expire. Your temporary files automatically
delete after 7 days, I think it
is.
So,
to create a realm, log in and go to this link:
http://www.network54.com/My_Account/
Click on
Realms
Click on New Realm
Give it a name &
save it.
You
can then upload pictures in the same way as I stated
above:
2b. ONCE YOU HAVE A
REALM (THIS IS THE TRICKY
PART)
To
put the picture in your Signature Box Permanently (or
until you change it) click on the "Insert Object" button
again ~ Do this WHILE POSTING.
Click on
the pic you wish to use.
Click on Insert Image at the
bottom of the Dialog Box. This will put the
pic inside your Text Box.
"Preview"
your message.
Right mouse click on the
picture.
Select "Properties" from the pulldown
menu.
The dialog box has a line that gives you
the URL. For example: http://www.network54.com/Realm/Suzie/blah,blah,blah.jpg
Highlight
that URL with your mouse.
Right Mouse Click
Select
copy.
"Cancel" the Dialog Box
Return to "edit"
your post
Click on the "Formatted Text Signature"
below the text box
Go inside and Right Mouse
Click
Select "Paste"
I
would then go back to the text box & delete the pic
from inside your text box or you will have the picture
twice. Of course, preview your message first to
make sure it works.
3. TO GET A
QUITMETER
Go
to this link http://www.quitmeter.com/
Fill in your
quit info, then click on the link that says
this:
Want to
include a QuitMeter Counter on your web page? Click here.
There is a
box with words that say:
Just copy
the HTML below and past it on your
page.
Highlight
all the information in the box with your mouse, copy and
paste it in the “Formatted Text
Signature” on the posting page. Make sure you
checkmark “include
signature.”
4. TO GET A
TICKER
Go
to this link: http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php
You
can count down to an anniversary or count up from your
quit date, either one.
Select your
ruler first. There are 13 pages of ruler designs
to choose from. When you have picked one click on
"NEXT".
Now
select a ticker slider. There are 7 pages of these
to chooe from. Select
"NEXT".
Enter in
your quit date OR Anniversary date For
example: 03/14/2004
Give the Event a
title: For example: Suz's Quit
Check
the time zone info.
Click
"NEXT"
HIGHLIGHT the information inside the
Middle box ( HTML )
Right Mouse Click
Copy
Go
to a post
Click on the "Formatted Text
Signature" link.
Go inside the box and Right Mouse
Click
Paste
That's
it!!! It should be there!
5. TO ADD YOUR
PERSONAL PIC TO EACH POST
This will
display in the upper right hand corner of each post you
make. Keep
in mind, it does NOT have to be a pic of you, although I
know I enjoy being able to put a face with each
name.
Click on
this link:
https://secure.network54.com/My_Account/Account/Edit/Personal_Photo
Your photo
should be in a JPEG, GIF, or PNG file format
It must
be smaller than 128KB in size
It WILL BE
automatically formatted to 70x70
pixels.
For
the best results, format your image to 70x70 pixels
before uploading your photo. This can be done
in ANY photo editing program, but if you need help,
email me at smcollingwood@yahoo.com.
Now
that you’ve clicked the link above, Click on
BROWSE
Select your photo & click OPEN
Click
Upload
ALL
SET!
6. TO ADD A YEAR
NEXT TO YOUR NAME
Once you
have reached a yearly milestone, you can add a
superscript number next to your name.
http://www.network54.com/My_Account/
Click on
Edit Account
Click on Change Your
Profile
Go
to where it says “Name (First
Last)”
Type in
whatever you want to be displayed each time you post,
i.e.:
YourName
To
add a number for the amount of years not smoked you need
to press and hold the ALT key while typing the following
numbers on the number pad.
0185 =
¹
0178 = ²
0179 = ³
At
this point, I’m not sure how to do additional
years. I
just read to try this:
YourName & sup 4
(without spaces)
YourName&sup4
YourName
< sup > 4 < /sup > (without
spaces)
YourName4
This change
seems to take effect for the first post of a day on any
Network54 forum.
If you’ve already posted in one of the forums,
your change will probably not show up until
tomorrow.
If
any of these things are confusing, print out this
message & try it step by step. If you find a
mistake, or know a better way, let me know so I can
update this message.
Good
Luck!
Suz
