Here is something of interest that you will want to take a look at. There is a message posted "40 MPG Turbo Diesel Jetta for Sale" and in the message is a link to look at the photos. Now if I click on that link it will take me to another log on screen and from there I am screwed. User name and password will not work and if you try to go back a screen you find that you are no longer logged into TOTV. If you try to X out of the screen you are no longer on TOTV.

If you try to log back in again it looks as though you are logged in as the page is redirected properly but you do not have the normal options on the tool bar for new posts etc. There must be a reset timer (10 or 15 minutes)that will not allow you to do a normal log on.

I found that if you go over to the photo albums I can view the photos with no problem and it is just how the program is handling the link that is the issue.

Have fun.

Oh by the way how is the weather and roads up your way? Some friends are thinking of heading that way to pull some handles at Presque Isle.

32 degrees. Bright. Sunny. Lot of snow up here on Wolverton Mountain. Less
snow down at lake level, but I bet enough to ski.

I clicked the url and got there O.K. Maybe it is because I have admin
privilege. I don't know of any timer here, by the way.

Our prescribed way of posting pictures for general viewing is through a
photo sharing site, like Photobucket.com, Flickr.com, or your own computer,
in the case of Hawkwind.

Jan has posted instructions.

As for posting them in albums, I think the results will be unpredictable,
depending on the link the members posts to see the pictures. You can also
  • Go up to the upper right,
  • Click on Quick Links
  • Drag down to All Albums
  • Find the member's album with the pictures.
That is why we suggest a photo sharing site.

Did I cover it O.K., or did I miss the question?

Here's late word. I logged out as admin and logged back in as a non-admin
user and I clicked the link and went directly to the pictures. No problem.
Now I don't know why you had problems. Stick around while I scratch my head.

I am going to try the link again and see what happens. Now this is not he first time this has happened when clicking on a link but only the first time I reported it. Not a big deal except for not being able to log back in again and get back to reading other posts.

Just tried it again and I get the same screen stating that you are not currently logged in and askes for user name and password. This time I entered the information in the normal logon location and not it the window form and I was taken directly to the photos. At least it did not log me off but I am sure if I close all the windows and try entering the logon info I will be locked out for some period of time.
