Mini Update

[Patricia Sokol]

Ultra, I’m able to update my avatar — can you try again? Once you upload the picture, just Save. It’s not the most intuitive interface unfortunately. And make sure you don’t pick a picture from the gallery. Also, the URL in your signature leads to a dead link — if there’s a different URL you want, post it up here and I can update your signature for you.

the problem I’m seeing is that there are no options to modify *anything* on the Profile page.
No options to update the avatar.
No options to update the signature.
etc.
I’m thinking maybe as admin you have the options, but the rest of us don’t?

my URL in the sig. broke after Martin Wiley updated the Catacombs awhile back.
my webpage is now: mondstation.space1999.net

thanks![/quote]

What he said. :S

Ultra, try one more time — I looked into the plumbing behind the scenes and you had the old Joomla text editor (probably left over from the old site) — I switched you to the newer one.

So in the forum, you should see a tab called Profile. If you click that, then you should see the edit thing.

thanks for trying Bill, but that made no difference. I still don’t have the word EDIT in my profile page, and it looks the same as in the pic I posted above.

Same here, Boss. I’m not able to edit my profile or add a picture either. Finicky little beast, this new website.

Did you notice the subtle homage to “The Shawshank Redemption” there? One of the greatest movies ever made, diluted somewhat by its unending airings on cable.

I have found that the red Edit button is invisible in my profile, but it is there and, as you can see, I was able to add an avatar. In your profile, just go to the far right as Bill says and move your mouse over it…it should pop up a label that says “Edit” and just click there to go to the page where you can modify your profile. (This is in IE).

Thank you very much, Enik1138. Who’d have thunk of looking for invisible buttons. Now I feel like somebody on this forum again…. not sure who, but somebody.

wow. good find. that’s just bizarre

[Steve Foster]

Thanks one and all. Avatar and Profile updated! (Invisible buttons eh? There’re [i]still[/i] Mysterious Unknown Forces at work in the Powysverse!) 😉

Any further update on how you’re progressing with [b]”The Final Revolution”[/b] Bill? Do you still hope to release this before the end of the year or do you think we’re looking at a 2015 release at the earliest?

[William Latham]

Getting there. Don’t know if it’s this year or early next yet. Sometimes when it’s time to go for Act Three I let the stuff just build up and it flies out in a couple of days and this feels like one of those. So many character interactions to deal with, however, which means a draft two that ends up being a lot of work. But I do at least some work on it every day…

[Steve Foster]

Great to hear. So glad you’re continuing to work on this Bill 🙂

My guess about [b]”The Final Revolution”[/b] is that this is the story that tells of the events that led to [b]”Message from Moonbase Alpha”[/b] & shows us the Alphan’s Exodus to Terra Alpha (putting everything in place ready for Johnny Byrne’s continuation proposal to be bought to life in print, rather than onscreen). If I’m wrong… I’m wrong, but if I’m right… then this will be a tremendously powerful and involving [b]SPACE: 1999[/b] novel for all of us to enjoy reading B)
