Dude, relax man, it is just the internety.

Thumper Mon Jan 19 06:59:08 PM
This doesn't happen often, but we are both correct. You used a semicolon when you shouldn't have and I didn't use one when I was supposed to.

Thanks. You missed one in your post, too... before -however-, because both sides are complete sentences.

Shouldn't you be the Bizitor?

Thumper Mon Jan 19 06:28:56 PM
I'm not a grammar expert, however, I believe you misused a semicolon to the left.

About the Portable People Meter
Arbitron’s Portable People Meter (PPM) system uses a pager-size audience measurement device to track radio listening as well as television, cable and satellite television viewing. The PPM is carried throughout the day by survey participants, tracking the television programs they watch and the radio stations they listen to by detecting inaudible codes embedded by broadcasters. At the end of the day, the meter is placed in a docking station that extracts the channel codes and sends the audience data to a central computer.

That's all well and good, but what about people like me? I sit with the radio on all day at work, but I only occasionally put the headphones on my head. Then, when I get home, I sit with the TV on and surve the intarweb. Rarely do I give it my attention.

I took the sailboat. Because it is close to the ocean and I spent the last weekend in Key West on business and this weekend will be in Key West for Pleasure. Of course I would change the sail boat if I could upload my own.

Maybe not

Pssss... Jr, Walt was referring to BBCK and her "AOL is for losers" wav file + her comment below about changing avatars.

Oh, and you grew up on AOL. You may not remember it, but that's what we started out using... back on Maplewood.

Fixed.

I was missing single quotes around the value when updating the password field in the sql statement.

Oh, and I now have 50 avatars to offer you.

Same result in IE... It could be the '_' in my user. However if it works for other people, don't go wasting your time trying to fix it for me... I'm going away for a few days anyway!

Re-boot?!? No I didn't (I have some important stuff running that I can't go resetting willy nilly without losing my data!) But I'll try IE because it could be the Opera / Proxomitron combo running interference.

BizB Mon Jan 19 11:33:47 AM
I don't get it. I just changed BBCK's avatar 2x without any problem. Did you try re-booting?

gorgeous_si Mon Jan 19 11:25:32 AM
d'Oh, Obi-Wan errors suck!
That bit works (so I get to the avatar / password page), but when I go to change my settings I now get "'Unknown column 'MyPassword' in 'field list'"
Reply

BizB Mon Jan 19 11:22:11 AM
Of course it didn't match. I was doing the lookup for the member number after I output the radio button (which was supposed to have the value of member-number). So, each one was off by one.

It's fixed now. Please retry.

gorgeous_si Mon Jan 19 11:14:25 AM
Oh, and my password wasn\'t 8+ chars (before you tell me to read the whole page

)

gorgeous_si Mon Jan 19 11:10:33 AM
I can't change my avatar! My password 'doesn't match'

BizB Mon Jan 19 09:58:11 AM
Perhaps it was because I had teh password length set to 8 in the database and forgot to limit the number of characters you could enter in the form.

Try using Walt again and just use the first 8 characters of the password taht you used.

Sorry.

As for why the comment stays in the comment box... I meant to do that. Yea.. that's it. I meat to.

I can do my own photoshopping.

Perhaps I prefer minimalizm. Didja ever think of that?

No, you don't know me, but I do think your site needs help. If you want, I will make graphics for free.

Nevermind...working again. I think it was because I was using your testing page. But I was able to insert an original smilie. I don't know. But doesn't matter now.

BizB Sun Jan 18 07:39:06 PM
What do you mean, "stopped working"? I used it - just fine.

thedude Sun Jan 18 07:38:01 PM
Oh good, so it is working. Would you like some graphics for your site? I'm really bored, and I'm good with photoshop. E-mail me if you're interested.

I like the new site, sort of reminds me of Donny Osmond, (as all fans know, his fav' colour was purple.) Any way, in a couple of weeks it'll feel like you've lived here all your life.

Tell me which one you want and I'll hook ya up.

You'll notice that along with a fancy avatar, you'll also get a different text color for your screen name when you post a comment if you're a MEMBER.
