Get this forum to stop showing my email addy as my username? I have tried and tried in the settings and it just won't take!
I'm also having a hard time logging out. It simply won't.

Is it showing for everyone or just me? I also have other setting that are not 'taking' as well. Am I missing something obvious? *that wouldn't be out of the question mind you!* It's always the obvious that eludes me....

Are you not able to use the functions here http://www.coffeecup.com/forums/profile … p;id=51909

Not sure.

What is your real name? (don't say Kat, I would just die laughing, that would be so funny. God, its not Kat is it? Oh my word, have I stuck my big size 10 in the dog xxxx).

Sorry, take your foot out of the dogs bum... my real name is Joan. :D

Anyway, I tried and tried and tried from the first day of joining this forum to go through the profile features as they show up and they are pretty self explainatory, but they don't work for me!

Am I missing something obvious yet again?

Joan - How about just emailing CoffeeCup and ask them? It may be the easiest solution to your problem. Least I now know what to call you.

Clowns scare me as well.

Bye Joan - Mark

Thanks Mark I will email them.
I thought this would be the better place because on most forums, that's usually the place to ask help for forum glitches.

Before I do send that email, may I ask a few questions to make sure I have all the info I need to relay to them?

Too bad, I'm asking anyway! :P

When replying in the REGULAR reply box, not the quick reply, is there a smiley window with smiley's to use in one's reply?
There's none for me.

In the REGULAR reply, not quick, I only have a box to reply in. No buttons, format buttons etc that is on every other forum I belong to.

When you go into your profile, is there a place to change your username?
There's none for me.

In the profile area, I cannot make an image signature, only words. The image tags won't turn on in that section, only here in the main body of a reply area in the forum. Right now, I'm manually entering it.
Is it available to you?
Is this what I'm supposed to be seeing to begin with?


Thanks for answering. I just need to know this so I can make the proper comparisons for my letter.

You can call me Twitchy too if it pleases you.
And what is it with clowns? They totally freak me out. I find nothing funny about a man in face paint and pajymas trying to abuse one another! Creepy.

Twitchy - I am sorry, I have just noticed your post. Hope you have not been waiting up all night waiting for a reply. As you can tell, I have tickets on myself.

Question 1 & 2 - All your format instructions are here, once you remember them, it soon becomes second nature. Or if you are like me, who has a brain with holes in, I don't use formatting. Here is the link anyway. http://www.coffeecup.com/forums/help.php

Qustion 3 - NO

Question 4 - My [img] tag: is off, so I can't use that for image signature. I presume yours is off as well. Ask CC when you contact them if they can turn it on for you.

There you go, all answered.

Keep well Twitchy

Heard from Coffee Cup big cheese today. Said they are reformatting the place and I should check back tomorrow and I should be able to tweak to my hearts content.

So... Anyone having the same problem, tomorrow you can fix your name!

The rest of the questions weren't answered. I guess that means it is as it should be.

Mark, I also posted to your reply this morning and it 'disappeared'. But, in answer, yeah, I know how to use bbcode and all that good stuff. Just figured that I may be missing something.
If you use that name and password, go on my forums and you can reply to something and see what I mean if you are not familiar with other forum type reply boxes.
Mine's a bit different though, it's a WYSIWYG editor but bbcode works just fine too.

Every other fourm I belong to has the smiley's on the side of the reply box and all you gotta do is click them to insert. There's a row of buttons on top of the reply box to add images, url's, tweak text and whatever else floats yer boat.

Man, Mark - we have more and more in common each time we chat here. My brain is like a sieve too! I'm always saying "DUH!" about myself and the obvious seems to elude me every chance it gets!

Twitchy - If I am asked to do something, I have to get the person to write it down for me, otherwise I forget that they asked. The other day, my mother phoned and said, when I come round, could I pick her up a loaf of bread, five minutes later, she says to me, where is the bread. She should have written me a note!!

It is good that you will be able to change your name etc - I will take a look (Thursday Night For Me).

Anyhow - I am off to see if I can get a few hours sleep now. Boy I need it.

They lie!

Everything is the same. Maybe the updating is taking longer than they expected. I'll keep trying. If it doesn't change by Monday, I'll email again.
