Shad,

I couldn't connect to the site until about fifteen minutes ago (9:45am PDT). It seems to come up much faster than before the maintenance. I'm having the same problem Jerry is having in getting access to my First Class Website to load pictures. I'll see if there is a difference when I post THIS. THX Shad.

Seems to post faster than before.

Same here... the server was there (pinged fine), then about 1/2 hour ago, mylargescale.com finally resolved to it's new address, but still no site, about 5 minutes later, the site came up.

Looking good, and sorry for waking you up Shad!

Greg

Shad, I can't seem to get to the first class section to upload pictures. Jerry

Since you're a 1st Class member, until Shad gets things straightened around I would suggest that you use the "Insert Image" feature in the MLS HTML editor to up load your image files. Note, you can select and upload multiple files using this interface, just make sure that the file size is less than 200KB & 1024 pixels in width.

Of course you could also set up and use an FTP client and use the MLS FTP interface.

Some time ago I used to be able to use FTP, but it quit working and I have long since forgotten how it was done when it did work. I also used to be able to mount the drive to my cornpewter like an external drive, but that quit working too, and I don't remember details of "how", anymore. (I know I have even updated the version of Winders at least once since either of those worked, too!)

But I have no idea what "Broswer direct", "MLS HTML Editor" or "Icon from my 1st Class space" (from Dwight's response) means. (Oh, wait, I bet "MLS HTML Editor" means inserting images in a posting using the icons at the top of the page!)

Is there someplace where the other methods are "CLEARLY" explained? (I realize that "Clearly" is a very subjective request, but I hope for something more than, "Just enter your subserver modified URL link and the subaddress of the class identifier if applicable and then pass the overage of the link class to the server." I am sure you don't understand what I just said, and I can assure you I don't either.)

OK, the 1st class web interface should be working now.

Steve,

I can't access my webspace at all. Put my name and password and it says "Website cannot display page". Gary

You didn't say, but I assume that you are attempting to use the old MLS 1st Class/Gold member user interface, if that is what you are doing. Use the "Upload" button on the "Insert Image" dialog of the MLS HTML editor.

Pick a topic, any topic, and click the "Add Reply" button.
After the HTML editor displays, click the "Insert Image" button on the editor's tool-bar i.e.
Image


Then click the "Upload" button in the Insert Image dialog.

After the "Open/Select File" dialog displays, navigate to the location on your computer where the image file you wish to upload is located.

Then double-click the file icon/name.

When finished uploading files, just click the "Cancel" button so you don't create a new reply or topic.

---***---

If you only want to select an image file to include in a reply, or manage your 1st Class space (i.e. delete files or folders) just use the left-pane in the "Insert Image dialog."
 
Hi,
As far as I can see it is all working as normal.
However, not sure if this is related to the move ....but ....
I did a site search for "image gallery".
I select #3 How do I post .... - and I get an error message '?forgotUsernameModule'
#1, #2 and #4 work okay!
What I was looking for was a way to get 'direct' access to my Image Gallery to see what is there, other than going via 'add reply'.
Any thoughts - I'm on a MAC and don't have my old FTP program.
All the best,
David Leech, Delta, Canada
 
ftp is fine too...

for Semp's benefit... ftp uses the address: 1stclass.mylargescale.com

.... then you use your user name (remove any blanks) at 1stclass.mylargescale.com

so the ftp user name is (using me as an example) GregElmassian@1stclass.mylargescale.com (note the caps and removal of spaces from my user name of "Greg Elmassian" )


.... your password should be the same as what you use to log into the forum.

I prefer FTP because it is fast and easy...

Semper

Browser Direct = direct access to MLS 1st Class web space using its URL entered into the browser's address bar.

MLS HTML editor = The WYSIWYG HTML editor that displays when you click the "Add New Topic" or "Add Reply" buttons.

Icon from my 1st Class space = The beer toast smiley icon the was displayed in Dwight's reply which is located in his 1st Class web space and is not a standard smiley provided by MLS.

Place where using FTP & HTML editor "Insert Image" features = MLS FAQ

MLS menu-bar >> Resources menu >> FAQ[/b]

Both the "Insert Image" and the "Image Gallery" display what's in your MLS 1st Class web space. in your case that would be (Note this is a read-only access).
