anoscope Posted December 6, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 Does anyone know how to display posts in the reverse order, for example, the latest post to a thread displays at the top of the thread ... not at the bottom? TIA BAA*BAA I looked thru the help files on this board and the creator's site but nothing on that. I read a lot of different computer boards, and I've never seen that option. When you refresh, do you hit the f5 key (windows)? that way yhyour current position on the page you are viewing is preserved, new posts appear below the last one you viewed. Let us know if we can help you in any way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniff Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 Hi Anoscope, I have been working on a way to put my java charts on the intraday message board. So far, I have found that HyperSnap, a screen capture program works ok. And not a big problem getting it into My Pictures for an attachment. It also has a nice paint & draw program with it for annotations. As we don't want real big charts on the intraday board. I tried to scale it down to 50%. A nice size but also lose 50% resolution. And much important info does not come through well. It looks mushy and sloppy. Do you think this is just a limitation of the software? Or might there be a solution? I will show a 50% example Thank you very much sniffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniff Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 whoops, seems to have come though 100% resolution. However I did crop it. Maybe that will help too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anoscope Posted December 7, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 test2 when you compare your capture to the real java screen are they virtually identical? The background is so dark, that the lines painted on it don't show up. 2 suggestions. try to change the indicator lines and number displays to a brighter color, for example solid red white or red. 2nd is to change the line 'width' to 2 to make it stand out more. The two images you posted are .gif and that is good, .jpg not needed. When you used the program that resized it, did you select or see a choice to select for 'smart resize' or preferred pixel resize? if you can state a size, limit the resize to 5 inches wide, and mark the box or menu choice to maintain the original aspect (original dimemsions ratio). that will help make the picture look better. let me know if I can help more!

DrStool Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Yes. There are settings for ordering posts. They are at the bottom of the front page of each forum. You can order normally or in reverse order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Anoscope, I have avoided this question for a while out of embarrassment but, could you please explain to me how I can copy a picture from another site and then place it in this post box? I know I have to change jig. to gif. I can't figure it out. Please tell me how? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 I have been trying to post a small image file for the last several days but no luck. The file is only 7K in size and is a .gif file. I have tried to attach the file using the browse window in the attachment section (and set it to the correct file and directory on my hard drive, etc.) When I preview the post, the image does not show in the preview window at all - just whatever text I wrote. I am running behind a firewall, so do I need to set it to allow cookies, etc. What am I doing wrong? Later, Grot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I have to change jig. to gif. I can't figure it out. Please tell me how? TIA example: I went to www.bigcharts.com and right-clicked the upper left hand image that looks like this then I highlighted the url by click&hold-drag across the url making it all highlighted. then i changed to this page, hit the IMG button above, and pasted the url into that new popup window, then I hit enter. result is on this page link is/was http://b.mktw.net/images/logo/frontpage.gif If you get a red x, it may not work bacause the site doesn't allow remote linking (that is what we are doing, getting an image from another server). Hope that example is clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
