Forum questions you might have been too embarassed to ask in the open....

This is probably a wee bit silly, but someone put a picture of Fangface up for me in my profile. (Someone equal my dear wife I think. ) How does one go about changing that without changing the little icon guy I use on postings?

One is the Profile picture and the other is the Avatar. In your user settings.

I think you should leave Fangface up there.

The title of this thread reminds me of when I was a young budding audiophile. I was afraid to ask what Watts per channel really meant. I thought is a channel front and back? and plenty of other things that an uneducated mind can drum up :~)

I fear several other people feel the same as you... Imagine! A shy timorous guy like me, associated with Fangface?

Nah, I was thinking more along the lines of having it symbolize your devotion to your lovely hacker wife. (I can't quite decide whether it would be cool or frightening to have a spouse who could do that. IAC, I don't foresee having to grapple with the issue any time soon. My wife has many, many accomplishments, but skilled operation of a computer is not one of them.)

So when I'm sitting listening to music playing, and on CA on iPad/phone how do I post a pic for the Album of the Evening thread?

I'd love to know that myself. When I've done it, I've had to hit the laptop to get the job done.

You know, that's a darn good question, and I have pretty much stopped posting to AOE because I am normally using an iPad when I am listening that way. Not using a laptop or other computer.

 

Perhaps, we need an Album of the Evening App. MMMM- sounds like a fun weekend project, though I am not sure how long it would take to get through the App Store...

it's hard/impossible to copy the artwork from your music folder or remote so I would usually use google to get that and the Mac to post it. It sure would be neat ... along with the ability to go @Chris what do you think?

I just tried copying the artwork from Amazon and using the insert image button. This worked as well and doesn't require using the CA app.

How did you manage that one?

 

Here on the iPad, it either asks for a URL or a file name... no option to copy? It isn't hitting the mobile site though, is that the difference?

If you press and hold an image then select copy the URL is copied to the clipboard. This can be pasted into the forum image URL box.

 

You may have to paste the URL into a text box first, like the search box, then select all & cut before pasting into the image insert box. Not sure why.

It seems the iPad clipboard is not user accessible. They regular copy / paste doesn't produce a result for me.

Try pasting the clipboard into the safari Internet search box. Don't actually search though. Just select all of the pasted URL to cut & paste into the CA image box.

[Paul R]

That's pretty cool!

 

(Talking about copying in the image URL.)
