Why are my tickers so small?
« on: June 18, 2006, 13:16:13 pm »
I modified my pregnancy ticker yesterday, re-pasted it into my profile and ever since they've both shrunk!  Any ideas as to why? 
TIA

I suspect that this is part of the ongoing glitch that is occuring with the avatars, I've asked Andy to take a look at it :)

Not sure if this detail will help, but - having noticed my small ticker, I double checked the code, tried to edit it, and even repasted it. Once I click "change profile", it somehow is adding this to the image code:

width=325 height=65

I know - I even tried to change these measurements myself as I see all the other ones that look right are 400 by 80 but it just kept changing it back. I guess we just have to wait...!

The system is forcing all attachments (that's photo's and tickers) to resize at 325pixels.  If I changed the pixel size it would force all attachments to a bigger size, so it would be counter-productive.  We're waiting on Andy to check the code so we can see what is happening :) :)

I just wanted to add that in addition to the ticker and avatar problems, I've noticed our emoticons aren't "animated" anymore....the eyes don't roll, the kiss doesn't kiss, the tear just hangs there forever.....

Not complaining...just mentioning another "symptom".

Those of you with the small tickers, the problem has been resolved, but you will need to either edit your ticker, or delete the existing one and add new code.  The easiest way is to edit it.

Go into your profile.  Select Forum Profile Information.  Where your ticker code is find the first tag that starts [img width=325 height=65] delete the width & height information and any spaces.  You must be left with the following [img] with no spaces, if there are spaces it won't work and you'll just get code displayed.  If you have more than one ticker you will need to do it for each ticker.

If anyone gets especially stuck let me know, and I'll do it for you :)

HTH :)
