Couple of Queries

[Meaisín]

Was just wondering about a couple of things and I hope this is the right place.

For some reason when I'm browsing ConceptArt or I decide to make a post/thread/upload an image etc., I appear to be automatically logged out. No apparent reason, suddenly I'm just logged out and met with the log in screen listing reasons that don't apply to me. Sometimes when I try to log back in, I can attempt to do so repeatedly, and be met with "Thanks for logging in, Meaisín" and when I'm redirected, I'm still not logged in. Can be pretty frustrating; atm; I can log in sometimes, like now luckily, but when I go to "manage attachments" on a post, the pop up box meets me with a login screen, and I stay logged out until I close everything down and return later. When it's like this, I cannot upload my images :S

Was also wondering about image attachments; in my posts, and some other people's, the images appear within the white frame "attached images", and then in other threads/posts images are throughout/interspersed with the text and when you leave a cursor over them it gives a filename, date and view count. I use the image attacher, 'browse', 'copywright info', 'upload' etc. I've spoken to a friend who apparently uses this method as well, yet his images are not in the white frame and have that small box of text I described when the cursor is left above them.

Thanks for any responses, sorry for all the text


Edit: Just tried to update one of my threads, went to 'go advanced - manage attachment'; pop-up was a login box with:

"You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
You are not logged in. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page and try again.
You may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation. "

I don't think any of these apply to me, and if I close that box and just go to another section of the website from my posting screen, I still appear to be logged in... rargh, strange...

Hmm, I honestly don't know what to tell you. Sometimes when you log in to a site, your browser will ask you if you want to be logged in automatically, or if you want your browser to remember your password, etc. Maybe your browser has those options and you could try that?

About the attachments--after you upload your images, click on the paperclip button again. A drop down menu will appear with a list of your images. Select one or select "Insert All" and the appropriate code will be inserted into your post. This is how you can have your images interspersed with text and not in the white frame at the bottom.

Thanks for the response Emily.

Maybe it's a cookie issue or something like that, hopefully it won't play up too much. I managed to upload this evening. Damn cookies! :)

The attachments thing worked perfectly!
