Admins, help, please

[Witchy Ooman]

Is there any particular reason (such as a ban for an infraction although I've been absent and can't figue out what I might ave doen to earn a ban) why I "haven't got sufficient permissions" to do anything much?

things such as get into my own profile
possibly to post (if this doesn't show up? can't tell)
get nto my pm box
etc

Just wondering... maybe you've finally gotten tired of my sharp tongue and banned me... If so, it'd be nice to have been told so.
Not that it matters much; I see every J'commer I care to see on FB anyhow. Just sayin'. Oops, there goes that nasty sharp tongue of mine again!

[WitchyOoman]

hmmm Interesting. The 'site just tossed me out. dwl
I had to log in again???

[WitchyOoman]

even more interesting - an old profile has been resuscitated?!
wait - what???
that old profile had been lost in a long-ago board update! and now it's back??? DWL
I'm dizzy and getting a headache. lol I think I'll go lie down.

[WitchyOoman]

I'm almost afraid to try to see if my long-lost original profile, Witchy_Ooman has also been resusciated, as well. that dates back to... what? 1999? 2000? I've forgotten. (senior moment)

[WitchyOoman]

Well, may I please get into my freakin' inbox? Thank you.

Old PMs were carried over from the old board. You have to delete the ones you no longer need. The max # of PMs is 50. There is a sent box that contains all sent messages.
You should be able to edit certain aspects of your profile but you can no longer change your displayname at this time. Your login name is the displayname.

I uploaded a profile photo but I can't get it to show up as an avatar. The edit avatar section has don't show avatar selected and I can't get rid of it.

[kia027]

Not sure how to fix that.. Perhaps the upload size is too large? try with a very small avatar

Funny I got upload failed and then I now see an updated avatar..

[Tropicana]

I am not even give the option of uploading an avatar in the upload avatar section.

This is all I see:

Edit Avatar

Your Current Avatar

No Avatar Specified
Avatars are small graphics that are displayed under your username whenever you post.
Do not use an avatar Note: if you have a custom avatar selecting this option will delete it.

Try using the edit profile picture option instead of edit avatar option

i also cannot edit my own profile, "do not have sufficient permissions" - this is clearly a glitch in the new SW.

nor can i edit or change avatar - it just shows my old one, with no option to edit it in any way. will check to see if profile pic is the one to use, although IME on boards that have both of those, only the avatar shows up as the pic in one's posts.

eta: ah - ok - not seeing my avatar in this post. so maybe it's now "profile pic" instead. -?- let's see what happens when i go change it
......... exit staaaage leeeeefffffft. LOL

eta gain: hmm, nothin happened, no pics anywhere. ok will just wait to see about all that.

It's not a glitch. It's just that it not activated or configured yet. Wait pon the bossman, Xavier. It tek some work and tweaking to upgrade the software. The current board you looking at has been out on other forums for a few months now, so it will take a bit to get everything running properly and all the old data xfer'd.

Imagine if him did just upgrade with none of the old data and you had to create new logins. Talk 'bout bex people. (BTW, I've had forums, do exactly that. PITA, but it happens.)

Step 1 - Admit you're a jamaicans.com addict.
Step 2 - Me still working on it, lol.

[sistacaf]

thanks linskinny, will wait then. i just figured alla that was already migrated now since it's been couple weeks with this new SW.

[kia027]
