Re-registered On The Forum

[raving_dave]

Hi all, raving_dave here.

 

I originally registered back in Nov07 under the name of ravingdave, and managed to make one post in the rear washer section of common faults. However, I was not able to view any of the images in the forum - I could see them if I downloaded a topic, but not when just browsing on the message board.

 

Then a couple of weeks ago I tried again and found not only could I not view the pictures, but also I could not post any replies - I just kept getting an error screen saying that "flood control was in operation - try again in 30 seconds". I found I was able to put a post in this "Introductions" section, and so I posted with my problems with images, and general access problems. For some reason the post was dated 23 Feb 2008! I'm not sure if anyone did something to my profile but the next day all of the images appeared in the forum without any problem, but I could still not post any replies, and also was not able to create any new topics. All I could do was edit my original post in the introductions area, and send email messages.

 

After some email discussion with one of the forum administrators I created a new account (this one: raving_dave), and if this message appears then it is letting me create a new topic, and also it appears to be allowing me to reply to topics without getting an error message. However, on the downside, it has reverted back to not displaying images in the forum - all it shows is an icon with a hyperlink to the <filename>.jpg, but when I click on it I get an error message telling me that this function is not available. I seem to be able to see the pictures OK if I download an entire topic, but cannot view them in the normal messageboard view.

 

One other dis-advantage of re-registering is that you need to provide a different email address, so I am hoping that one of the administrators can delete my original ravingdave account, so that I can reset my email address on this new account to my usual email address.

 

Fingers crossed that this works, and still appreciate any thoughts on how I can make images re-appear

 

Thanks
