Hello~ I have been on care2 for awhile with not too many problems. Now, this just starting happening. I can get my messages, I can get to my groups but my page is taking forever to load. I cannot change my page because when I press edit, scroll down it says Warning: Using images wider than 470 pixels may break your page. I tried several times, just not working. Plus I cannot see any of my graphics nor can I see any of my graphics that I posted in any of my groups. I have high speed internet, I have IE7 and it is constantly coming up when I am in care2 that internet explorer has to close...I save everything to my own hard drive then I post to my groups. I cannot even get my graphics downloaded into my photobucket account after I have saved them. Care2 has been so s-l-o-w. Is there something that I should know about my settings? I am very discouraged and upset. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you~ Karen

I may have figured something out- as illiterate as I am about computers.... If I read that right- there's over 350 posts to this topic?  I've seen it before on other sites with discussions... while they appear different in many ways one thing I've seen over and over.  When the discussion goes on longer and longer- the page gets wider and wider.  Someone who knows more about computers may know why this happens.  It's less obvious here because usually the page starts each post a little further right as the page gets wider, but this topic or site doesn't do that.  The page just gets wider so you have to scroll sideways....  and dang is it slow!  others aren't this slow.... could that also be the number of replies? 

If so, I suggest starting another thread!

I can see you changed fonts, colors and paragraphs, but I can't exactly see how easily- LOL. (now think about it, really...) What I'm saying is that the formatting bar doesn't half the time work for me. I won't say it never works- just most of the time it doesn't. Browser- that would be Windows XP. When I do get the format bar to let me type in a chosen format, it reverts back to plain small black font and all the sentences strung together without paragraphs- once I click on submit. (Is there something I need to change in Windows XP? I'm kind of afraid to change much, it costs too much to put it right if I do it wrong....)

Also, I'm talking about the fonts I'm trying to read. I have vision problems, I guess- well, did. And my eyes are even worse in some ways (always nearsighted before now I'm farsighted and my eyes just don't adjust) since cataract surgery. For instance, the font on the page for this group is really small and I can barely read it at all. I have no idea what the name is next to your pic. I haven't read far enough to see what/how you signed it. You've typed in nice large letters, easy to see- but one problem on this page (not others) is that I have to scroll back and forth, back and forth, back and forth a billion times and it's hard to follow what you're saying that way. That's why I have a text doc open in my word program and am going back and forth answering as I go.... And for the entries that are typed in really small to begin with- I could scroll sideways forever and ever and never make sense of them. (Now, that's only on this discussion page.... so far).

And I had a limited choice in themes because the default fonts are too light to be read against the color of the theme - and there's option to change them that I can find (color or size... and they're small). It makes it hard to read others profiles, too, for me and I imagine for others with vision problems. (My vision problems are NOT severe, my opthomologist swears I'm seeing fine and I did pass my driver's license vision test without any glasses.)

I do believe I said I've used "view" then "larger font"... which helps in some situations and I've used ctrl. +/-. It doesn't help if the color is dark grey against a slightly lighter grey background- or lavender on purple- lime green on plain green (forest green, maybe ok) but you get the idea. It only helps for the size of what I'm reading.... not posting.... and it only helps in a limited way. For some pages, it doesn't work at all.

"In New Groups you can apply different colour schemes to the themes in Theme Chooser, by using Custom" - as I said you can choose the theme but the font is whatever you get as default.... there's no choice there..that I could find.

"You may be able to have your user name changed by submitting a Help Request Report [see 'my account' page]. Been there done that.... You'd probably have to verify your email address associated with your account. If I remember cccccccccccorrectly, you can choose whatever name you want for your new Care2 Email account. Not that I could find- I tried that or I wouldn't have known to ask. Once your C2 email is set up, you can download your contacts to your C2 address book. And I don't want an address if the only address I can have is niemac@.....

thanks for the effort,

Connie

Reading that and writing my reply took me over 90 minutes!  The above was cut and pasted from word- but this is typed directly and as you can see the formttting is gone!  and I didn't think I'd get it ever done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  tens minutes to get one letter on the page-----

if it was my browser wouldn't it be a problem on other sites???????  I went to the kitchen while the letters took their time getting on the page- LOL now it's going on 2AM....

 [ send green star]

 [ accepted]

There are a lot of places to ask questions, but not a lot of answers.  I tried to read the discussion for this group- and the page is in microscopic print and when I click ctrl + it gets bigger- but then it scrolls forever and ever across.  No one can read posts that way.

One of the things... (dang does this line look a whole lot smaller then the font in the paragraph above? or is this just me....) anyway- I posted on the group for discussion of groups about the font options..(one guy there actually said there's no need for font options, the user can do it from their computer easily enough??? not sooooooo!  cntrl +/- helps and so does view "largest", but you can't be constantly rearranging the entire screen to read a page with fonts that vary from size 6 to 32 all over it!)..... the advanced editor doesn't usually work, and when it does, not all options on it work.  And there's no choice in font color when you choose a theme on your page or your group's page- and sooooo often the font color isn't very visible with the theme.... unless you're into plain old blk/white (and with so many interesting themes who could settle for plain old blk/white?).

So- I joined the group for visually impaired- but there's been no posts there for a matter of years?????? so it was no help.

I'd been signing petitions for years and am so glad I finally realized there was more to Care2!  My nonprofit (or it will be when we get the $300 for the IRS) has added sooooo many contacts since we(me) joined!  When SEASCAT is googled, there are 20 listings now (maybe more if you check enough pages) and I think that's thanks to Care2, the sharebook I have and a petition I created.  If I had $, you'd see some of it. 

Anyway- the fonts were one question I've been asking about.

Another question is the problem of getting paragraphs to show (they tend to blend into one long string of sentences when you submit and you have to go back and edit a couple times).

Oh, any chance of being able to embed videos on your groups page, not just your personal page.  We have a list of educational videos we've started using in workshops for SEASCAT.

Oh, and how can I change my username. (edit basics does not allow for changing username, only everything else)  I'm having trouble with the address book on gmail and want to try Care2 e-mail for SEASCAT, but absolutely don't want to use my personal username for that and that appears to be the only option.  I'd really like to get rid of that old username, it's linked to an ex-boyfriend.... but have to keep the old yahoo address (which the username came from) just cause there's so many contacts there.  It was ok when all I did was sign a petition now and then from Care2, but it's not me and now I can't get rid of it.

Well, I think that's all the things I haven't found answers for elsewhere... SO- I suppose someone will contact me with suggestions on where to repeat these questions?  Maybe Care 2 is just growing too fast.... reminds me of when I used to teach middle school- LOL

Hi Teil,

I forgot to mention in my last post that I have successfully inserted banners into my page and I would like to thank you so much for all the information you gave me. 

I would also like to do a bit of showing off, and give myself a little credit because I decided to do a last attempt on my own before reading your instructions and then test myself to see how I went.    And guess what? After all my fail attempts I finally did it on my own.  I was excited I got up and did a little dance around the room.  Then, I went back and read your great explanation of how to post a banner and I had done everything exactly as you had explained.

Your explanation was so well presented, you are really a natural born teacher.  I am so glad I didn't have to explain it, although I did write down all the steps I did as I went alone, I would not have done half as good a job as you did.

I hope your post on how to insert banners on my page helps others.

Take care, Teil.

 [ accepted]

Hi Teil,

Finally, got around to answering your reply.  And thank you so much once again for taking the time to do so.  However, I don't understand what you mean by 'stacking the deck.'  I'm a sort of a black and white person and need things to be spelt out for me, so if you don't mind, could please explain what it means by stacking the deck.

I haven't submitted any more news stories because I feel there are no real guide lines as to how a story gets to front page.  Although I used to enjoy submitting news stories, it doesn't  really matter as there is so much to do on C2 and very little time to do it.  So, as us Aussie's say down under, no worries mate.

Thanks once again for your input.

Regards,

Eleni

Hi Teilflock,

Thank you for your reply, haven't actually got around to doing it yet, will let you know when I do, however.

There is something else I'm hoping you may be able to help me with.  As you know I used to be a member before I rejoined and I used to submit a lot of news stories, when they were noted 30 times they would go front page.  This time however this is not happening and so I sent a help form in when it happened that my story hit 35 notings and didn't go front page within a day.  I received a reply saying that it depends on how long it takes to get the 30 notings before it goes front page and I thought fair enough but one day isn't really that long.  That particular story did eventually go front page but I have since had three more that have had 30 plus notings with the day and they haven't gone front page.  Would you happen to know what is required before a story goes front page?  I'm reluctant to send another help form. 

Thank you once again,

Eleni

Hi Teilflock, Sorry, couldn't get back to you sooner, not a daily user at this stage. You are an amazing person to go out of your way and help me like this, thank you so very much, and for being so patient as well. I've book marked the page and will go through the steps and hopefully they work, and if they don't, well I've had a change of attitude and will simply let it go.

You're definately one of a kind, take care.

Hi Teilflock,

I want to thank you so much for trying to help me but almost ready to throw the towel in which is really hard for me to do because I'm not the type of person who gives up easy.  So, before I do, may I ask you one last question.

On your page you have a banner from David Suzuki's nature Challenge and when you click on it, it takes you to that web page.  My question is; how did you put that banner there?

Sorry to keep bothering you, but like I said this is my last try, and then that's it.

I went through this when I joined the first time and tried so many times then and here I am a year later rejoined and am still trying to get this right.  I wish C2 had a better help center, I've tried in the past with different questions, waited forever for an answer and when I did get one, it didn't mean anything.

Anyway, you been great with trying to help me and I do appreciate it.  If you don't answer me I will understand.

Regards,

Eleni M

Don't you think this Group should switch to the new format, and wrestle with the majority dealing with change, lol. As a Group for new hosts and members here this is just a thought. I know it's not easy, my 3 groups of 1750+ are in the new format since the beginning. You might as well dive in, lol.

Thank you for replying so quickly, however I already have that web page saved on my favorites but I don't seem to find anything on it that relates to posting banners on the my page billboard.

I'm thinking maybe the following might be it, but somehow I don't think so.
Providing links to other pages or websites
- two possibilities with similar technique
1) make a graphic into a clickable link
2) make text into a clickable link

- open the page you want to link to
- select and copy the URL of that page
- open the EW on your billboard
- drag to select the image or text [e.g. Name of Site] and click the small 'chainlinks' image in the editor's toolbar
- paste the URL into the space provided and click OK
- the image will have a box around it, and text will change colour and probably appear underlined.
Important: do not copy the URL directly to your billboard. URL's are often too long and are a common cause for 'broken billboards', which require the help of Care2 Tech to fix.


thanks again

With the exception of one of the groups I've joined, I have not been receiving daily digest emails from any. I've gone back and triple checked each group discussion to be sure I indicated email preferences and that indeed new discussions have been posted. Of course checked proper email address and do receive other emails from care2. Any idea about this? I also just checked an option to receive a daily summary from care 2 on new group posts so maybe that will help. Thanks!

Since they changed c2 my Email Replies with my name...and that doesn't work for us since we don't know who we are always responding to...not safe, etc 

We don't want this and want to go back to the way we had it where we were able to type in our OWN preference.

We just don't see how to do this and so this acct (after >10yrs) will not be used as it always has been...and, thus, less Petitions will be/are signed if we need to use our Yahoo or other emails.

Careless change or is there a way and we just don't see it.

Another aghh w/the "c2 Changes"...

Either they got to Busy w/the Big Brother changes and ads and now we don't have Our Choice on how we want our emails to appear or there is a way & I don't see how.

For years (like Yahoo and others) we have been able to type in a name (or msg) that is seen by others INSTEAD of our names being Forced in our em.  my em always had "acctg/bkkg" and now it shows my name!  It would have been common courtesy to inform us that our Privacy & Choice has been Taken away...no surprise, tho.  We're sure they are hooked up to bush/cheney machines so may as well use yahoo then.

It s/b my prerogative how I want my Email to read...otherwise i may as well just use Yahoo since c2 seems to be on their same plane now.

for any info.

By billboard, if you mean the place on your profile page that is directly below your avatar and description of yourself, then the edit button is just to the right.

To add a picture, the first and formost thing to remember is, that it must be "on the web" somewhere.  Using the photo album here is fine (some like PhotoBucket, etc instead), upload the picture and then you can copy paste it, or if you are familiar with HTML, you can get the source URL and stick that in the Basic Editor.

The message thing first:  If you mean the "network" message, where you can send only to friends and "friends of friends", then clicking on the link that allows you to add names to send to, should bring up a box, and clicking on the letter of the name of the person(s) you wish to send to should give you a list of those persons with that first letter of their name, then clicking on the name, adds it to the send list of the message. You should be able to do this up to 15 persons. Of course, you may have to search around looking for your names, when your list is not yet large.   For friends of friends, the tab at the top of the name box with switch you to them.

Hi folks... My profile picture mysteriously changed from the one I was using to a picture from my album. I’ve tried to change it back but without any luck. I’m no stranger to changing my profile picture on Care2 and I’ve tried everything I can think of such as deleting cookies etc but nothing seems to work. I thought I’d cracked it when I found a new picture which appeared to download ok but although it’s shown on my profile page the previous unwanted picture still appears in the forums (despite refreshing), and it also shows on any new posts I make… I’m confused… Any ideas?

Hi Mike,
I use FF with Outlook [not express - I hate Express] ... what part can't you access without IE? I discovered the Outlook in Office 11 is much better, more cooperative, than older versions. I can even get to my Hotmail from it now. But then, perhaps I use it in a more basic manner than you do?

Well, on my computer at home, I don't use outlook nor express, I used Thunderbird until my FireWall had issues with it. Now I just use Earthlink's box.  My work email is Outlook however and to access it from home, I must use a version of IE v.5+ (I have v.7). I have found no other browser that is compatable with the interface (and I tried F.F., (Mozilla) Flock, Opera, TB, Netscape,  and etc.

Has something to do with the cert. I believe.

This question may be here somewhere but I didn't see anything about it...if it's a repeat I'm sorry

All of a sudden when I post a graphic into a friends comment box I get this strange code it looks something like this I am using the TV looking box in the comment box just like the one here and using the url code from photobucket should I be doing something different?

style=width: 159px; height: 52px
found style width: 159
found style height: 52

The graphic I am trying to display is there but this code is now above my picture...has something changed? because I am doing them the same way I always did but now I get this code also. I can post graphics in group messages without this code showing up but not in comments??? I am confused.

see no code here

What am I doing wrong here?

I have a question pertaining to our profile photo.  I uploaded a new one then changed my mind and kept refreshing to try and get the new one...now the frog is back and I've tried to upload 3 different graphics.  I wonder if the jpegs are not equal to what is suppose to be.  I don't know what else to do...except try and upload the last graphic that I know will work.  Are there any special keyboard keys I can use to help with putting the picture on my billboard page?

Hi since the new up grade as of 16 October I cannot send side bar comments to anyone when the box opens in which you put the url there is not send feature with the box and if I hit the send button on the bottom which was never there before it takes me to a once again blank comment page. Also why were the changes made to the home page displaying all of your info. I do not appreciate this change. It would be nice if when these changes are made if a notice of some kind were sent out with how to adopt the new changes instead of just leaving everyone in the dark!

How can I get my group listing off the front of my page?  I don't mind my political groups being shown but I prefer to keep my personal group membership to myself.

Thanks in advance!

courtesy can not be regulated or forced by rules. One can send a TY note, or a return star as many do, OR just be glad someone acknowledged you, as many of us do not require "thank you's" (tis why I send out so many annonymous stars).

I co-host a closed group. One of our members can no longer enter the group for some reason... so far we don't know why. She can get as far as 'knocking on the door' but can't get in.

The question is...If we removed her from the group would she be able to rejoin or is removal irreversible?... Of course it would be dead cool if one of you guys has come accross this problem before and could point us in the direction of where the problem might lay.

C.C.,  as strange as it may seem, once you "apply" the change, and the screen comes back,  click on "refresh" (or reload, if you use Firefox).  Once that is finished, it should be there. The only time it wouldn't be, is if it were too big a picture or if it were the wrong format; but then, it wouldn't appear the next day in that case either

    Hope that helps some.

I may be wrong, but I know it has been asked before and I don't know of anyway. So I am going to say at this time you can't be notified.

But maybe in the future it will be an added feature.

You could say in your photo comment area that you love comments and would like them to be e-mailed or sent via network message since you don't recieve a notification from the photo album comment area. And you don't wish to miss any. Just a thought?

Oh lol oops I don't know what I was thinking

Yes it is automatic when you fill out your profile. Like when you answer questions for your favorite food, tv show, etc...

From: http://www.care2.com/c2c/groups/disc.html?gpp=187&pst=66662

Tags!
Ever wondered which other Care2 members love Folk music or think "Lord of the Rings" is their favorite movie? It's now easier than ever to connect to people who share your passions through "tags." Tags are what we call the keywords or terms members enter in their profiles. Tags effectively create links, or networks, of members with shared interests. We've added a section on the main People page so it's easier and more fun than ever to surf popular tags:

http://www.care2.com/c2c/people/

Where do the tags come from? We compiled the tags from member profiles - so if you want to connect to other members who loved "Finding Nemo", simply add that name to your list of Favorite Movies. Each time you visit the People page you'll see a new list of popular tags. The larger the tag font size, the more popular it is.

Note that you can also surf tags by clicking on the links in member profiles.

hmm about the group I am not quite sure. It may be a glitch from what you said. I would write Care2 help and describe it to them and tell them what group.

http://www.care2.com/help/contact/contact-helpform.html

 [ send green star]

I go to People and there is a question like, "What is your favorite TV show?"  If you click on Law & Order, you will get a list of all the people on Care2 who also chose that.  Then somewhere I read that you can tag your profile I think.  Does that incude you in lists of people who like the same things as  you?  And how do you do that?  Or is it automatically done by Care2?

Also, I was a member of a group that was open when I joined.  The host has since closed the group and now I am blocked from it because even though there is a box saying that I have been accepted by the host, there is no Enter button to click to get into the group with.  I have written to the host but received no answer as yet.  I have done nothing to be excluded so I don't understand what happened unless it is a glitch that happened during the conversion.

Hi everyone   Is it possible to send a picture/image to a friend using the networking mail? If so, how does it work? Copy and paste?

You can't send the actual image itself but you can send a link to the image.

There is no way to send an E-Card to people on your friends list directly unless you happen to have their email address. The way around this is to send the card to yourself, and then paste the E-Card URL into a network message to the person. Bear in mind that doing this does reveal the email address you used to the person you send the card to.

Is anyone else having problems accessing their Introductions section of care2? For instance, a person wants to meet you and you get an email stating the fact. You click the link on the email and it just goes to a blank white screen. At the bottom left it just says done, or even if I click the other access point from the my care2, the people waiting to meet you, it does the same thing. So, has anyone had this happen and if so, how did you take care of the problem?

Thanks ahead of time. I wish you peace and joy,

Delete and Notify means that the other person gets a message that you declined their offer of friendship.

Delete and Block means that if they try to continue to tell you that liking the color purple is vastly important to them ... yah dah da... they will get a polite note stating that the address they mailed to (you) is not accepting messages from their address

If you just want them to go away quitely - "deleate" ... no notice, no harm, no foul

Hope this helps and apologies for not getting back to you right away.

That should be the case.  If you sent the message to 10 people and one person sent a reply to you, the message that you get will say that it was sent to 11 people even though it was only sent to you.

(I know that I'm repeating another post, but this issue makes so little sense that I think repetition actually helps in this instance.)

 [ send green star]

 [ accepted]

So if that says '2' that would be the person having replied to my original message?

Thank you!

 [ accepted]

It means that it went from One person to another  for a total of 2

If you reply it will show 3

AND, if you get a message that appears to be a private reply with a HUGE number 2222 + for example; do not assume that the reply went to that many, ususally it is a reply from one of the original people it was sent to back to the first poster ...

Confused yet

When you receive a network message, it says at the bottom:

Do you mean the order that your albums appear or the order of photos within an album? You cannot re-order the albums themselves, but you can move the photos aroud.

Under Edit Album, click on the 'sort order' and set the Manual sort order (or select whichever of the sort options you prefer). To manually sort the photos after selecting Manual sort order, go back to the main page of the album, and click on the 'Edit Photos Order'.

I hope that helps!

Hi there, is there any way to manually organise the order of your photo albums. There is an option in the drop-down menu when you 'edit gallery' but that doesn't seem to do anything.

Any ideas?

To send a message to your network;

Go to Network Messaging

Click on  Compose

write your note

chose send to Friends and/or FOF

Click Submit....

WARNING... if the system appears to 'time out' before the message is sent - go to "SENT" messages first to see if it was really sent.

I hope this helps

When viewing a thread that you want to 'pin', simply click on the link 'Show More Thread Options' at the very top of the thread in order to access these and other thread features. You can also set threads so they will not be archived after 30 days (otherwise threads that are not posted on for 30 days will be added to the 'archives' of your group), change the order of posts from oldest at the top to newest at the top, or set the thread so that only group hosts can post to it.

I hope that helps!

The pins are used to keep important topics or thread from disappearing to the bottom of the discussion list.

A red pin will 'pin' the thread to the group home page. This means that it will always be at the top of the sampling of threads that are listed on that page. You are limited to 10 red pinned threads.

A blue pin will 'pin' the thread to the discussion list. This means that when you click on the 'View All Topics' list, the thread will always appear at the top of that list. There is no limit to the number of blue pins you can use.

Right now you can't see a list of everyone in the group. However, as the group host, you can see a list of recently approved members. This list goes back several months, so you would see anyone who joined in that time. To access this list, go into the group management console, then select Applicant Approval below Member Management. Then click on Recently Approved Applicants to see the list.

Hope that helps!

I am the group host of a new group called Texans.  Anyone and everyone is invited, you don't have to be a Texan to be in the group.  Now, back to the question at hand.  I would love to be able to see who is in the group without having to see them on the front page because hopefully that will fill up and there will be more than that will hold.  How do I do this or can I do this as host?

Thanks,
