psst.. hey.... wanna know the secret?


...Just make a new account! That's what I did when I changed from 'Warren_BearClaw' to 'Bear'. :P

I tried that too. I want to use the email from the old one, but I can't change the email of the old one so I can use the email I want for a new one...:(

This new forum layout looks pretty, but it takes a really long time to load. It's messing up my computer, and my network. I keep getting angry neighbors telling me off for hogging the bandwidth. Can we please fix this?
I'm back, and better than ever! Also, I go by Ace now. Or Azure.

I was about to say I dont have any problems when this post reply page took a while to load :P

In retrospect, I think I have encountered this once or twice. Is it the site, the servers...or my computer? :o

No complaints with chat now, Richard. Thanks for fixing it. :)

When I click on the chat tab, it sometimes takes me to an error page that says 'Oops that site doesn't exist' (like today). Am I the only one getting this error?

Odd. Just ensure the link is not www.chat.animorphsforum.com. The correct link is chat.animorphsforum .com. There's no "www".

Some browsers may try to insert the "www".

If you get that error page again, upload a screenshot.

Ummmmm. I'm not computer smart so I don't know how to do that. Could I get instructions?

EDIT: Oh, dangit, Richard; you beat me to it. >_<


For the link, just click in your address bar and erase any 'www.'

For screenshots, do the following:
1. find a key on your keyboard that says "Prnt Scrn" (printscreen) or something like that.
Push it.

2. Open Paint, which is built into most Windows compies.

3. Stretch the white space in paint by clicking and dragging the lower right corner. Get it nice and big.

4. press "Ctrl + v" ; this is the Paste command. It will put the image of your screen on the Paint screen.

5. Save it with a file name you'll remember.

6. Attach it to an email or PM to Richard. Let me know if you need help attaching files; on RAF at least, at the bottom of the PM and Post window, there is an icon that says "Attachments and other options." You'd click that, select 'browse', find the file from Paint, and select it. Then OK, then Post.  Some e-mail clients have different methods for attaching, so it's not always quite as cut-and-dried.

I hope this helps! ^_^
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

I'm glad that worked; the video was a bit long and convoluted.

Ok, looks to me like your browser (IE) isn't detecting the "." between chat & animorphsforum.com. That's why you're getting the error.

This happens when you click the link at the bottom of the page?

Also, does that error page come up randomly for other websites?

It only comes up when I click the link at the bottom of the page.

I haven't seen it for other websites either.

highly recommend yankee clipper 3 (http://www.intelexual.com/products/YC3/)
when it's running, it remembers multiple items from the clipboard, whether it be text or images. you won't have to worry about overwriting it with control+c or printscreen, and you can save directly from there.
