[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yeah, people.. If you're using avatar's from outside this site (meaning u put in a link intead of uploading your own pic) you might get broken imagines since the link u specified wouldnt be as reliable as hosting it here.

[color=#000000:post_uid0]salam,

I see this black box when i use netscape (i use linux). But when i use mozilla i don't see the black box. But mozilla is not really practical, and generally i use netscape.

This black box appears only when i open a topic, but don't appear when we access the forum without opening any topic.

For example for you, the black box correspond to  2/3 of the screen (and a line of a sentence for you is, in the case of the precedent message, "Yeah, people.. If you're using" and then it is another line), while for me it is 1/3 of the screen and hence a line is longer than you and contains more word.

thanks,

[color=#000000:post_uid0]go to :  Your Control Panel at the upper left side of this window when you're logged-in, then select "personal info", then "avatar options" then you can else select an avatar from the database or use a personal avatar.

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Brother.. I'm really having a hard time understanding you.  Would it be possible to take a screen capture and upload the file so I can see it?

Maybe its a Linux problem?  A netscape bugg?  I'll contact techincal support when I see your captured Image.

Thanks for the help

[color=#000000:post_uid14]Salam brother Ali,
First of all , I appreciate very much all your efforts, and may Allah rewards u "Dunia and Akhera".

I see the black boxes when I am using netscap in a UNIX system. Right now from home with windows and explorer, every thing is fine.

One more thing for the security. I am using a machine in the university UNIX network. Whenever I brows the site, I gor automatically loggin, which means, that anyone use that machine and brows the site will get loggin to with my name??
This is what most likely what happened, however, I have to find some one trustee in the Lab and ask him to login to see what gonaa happened?

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Salaam alaikum,

Why are Al_Radhiy's boxes bigger than anyone elses?  I mean the boxes that contain each post?

Well um, as compared to what?  Only his box looked big to me.

When you say change the resolution, does that mean the words will be smaller?  If so, I'll keep it like this.  I'm in denial about needing reading glasses, so this size is better for me. :D

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Salam,

You should have taken a screenshot (a picture) because PDF/HTML are just instruction languages so unless our system has the bug as well, we will not see any of the problems. (In other words, there is nothing wrong with the PDF/HTMLs.)

[color=#000000:post_uid0][b:post_uid0]Sis hajar..[/b:post_uid0]

When I say "change the resolution" I mean.. right click on your desktop, go to properties, then settings and then see the little knob that changes the "resolution".. Play around with it, to th right and to the left,y ou'll see what I mean..

It'll just make everyhting on your screen smaller (which makes your monitor biger, holding more stuff on the same space)  Lol that made no sense, but go ahead and try it :)

[b:post_uid0]Brother Ali786[/b:post_uid0].. Use any graphics program like Adobe photoshop.  If not, just click on your desktop, press on "Print Screen" (a key found beside the home and End keys)  Then load up Paint program, the one that comes with windows, and go file-paste.  It'll paster a picture of your desktop.  Make sure you're looking at the black box when you click "print screen".  Save it and send it to me :)

[b:post_uid0]Al_Radhiy[/b:post_uid0] your sig. is perfect now.  thanks bro :)

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I think it's a Unix Netscapre problem, seems like only those users are effected.  I'd still like to see a pic though :)
