Upload a photo from your pc using My Photo's, click on the add photo link, select 'is profile', save changes.
Then go into MyAccount click on the forum settings link, click on the image that you want for your avatar and save changes.
ok had to test that so now I'm a lake.

If you're getting annoyed by all those ///// in your sigs, it's the apostrophe that's causing it.
If you're not too pedantic, you can use the acute accent character ´ instead and that works fine. The code is Alt+180.

Yep and it doesn't like " either .......... nor can you have them in PM's or user names mad
How to PM a site member with a long name (more then 12 characters)
When sending a PM, check the URL at the top of your web browser. It will look something like this:
http://www.swingingheaven.co.uk/members/new-message.html?user=Mister_Discr
if the bit at the end isn't the full name of that person, type the missing letters back in and reload the page, liike this:
http://www.swingingheaven.co.uk/members/new-message.html?user=Mister_Discreet
Use this page to send your PM and it will go to the intended recipient.

Okay this is the only answer i can come up with , which just might get me banned is called pissing in your own corner, when someone new takes over any part of an orginization they just have to **** with it , why because they did not design it , the fact evrything was working fine beforehand is of no importance because new terrotorial lines have to be drawn in the sand , it justifies the wage packets and exsistance of new employees it strokes the ego of the new owners in their vision to bring something new and different to us poor suffering souls , the fact its now crap for all of us is lost , this ladies and gentleman is called pissing in your own corner.
Lots of love ............Andy

sorry to be a pedant andy, but i think on SH you'll find it's called "pissin' on yer chips!" ((( TM AngelChat 2005 )))

Sorry Neil, but you're wrong - the first one I'll grant you, is correct - the second, however, should in fact be If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is!

It cant send because the name is wrong and you get the error message you mention
The members box empties and you can manually type in their name, type your text and click submit.......voila, it sends biggrin

To get to the postcode setting:
1. Click "My Account" from the right hand menu.
2. This takes you to a page titled "edit your account", which has "Account Settings | Profile Settings | Forum Settings" written just to the left of the right hand menu.
3. Click "Account Settings" from that list.
4. Halfway down the page is a set of 4 radio buttons to choose " Show Other Members My: Town County Postcode None". Select the button to the left of "None", then click "Update" at the bottom of the screen
5. Look at the page to see if your changes have been accepted. If not, try choosing a town from the pull down menu just above the 4 radio buttons and try again.

I dont get any towns in my dropdown !

Copied from a post by st3v3 on another thread:
Thanks for reporting all of the glitches so far, I've tried to summarise them in one post so far to let you know that we are looking at them and to try and save people rereading the whole thread before posting something that has already been mentioned.
If I have missed something please post again, some on the following list have been answered with ##comment others need to be looked at.
MYSQL Error code 11 coming up practically everyother button press.
## should be ok now
Unable to hide Postcode in Profiles
##1. Select a town or village in your profile.......... any town or village will do.
##2. Press "Update Profile"
##3. Go back into profile and then select "none" from the options list.
##4. Press "Update Profile".
##You should then find your Town/Village/Postcode details are hidden.
Unable to use apostrophe (') in user name stops you logging into site........ hence after a phone call, Nick at SH Towers has given us a new name.
Can't see what memebership level we have ....... are we premium members?? we are supposed to be.
It would be nice if there really was over 350,000 members of SH and that the take up rate was as fast as it seems to be but I suspect its counting posts and not members, correct me if I'm wrong
## Its the combined number of forum/photo ads accounts
there is no link to the old java chatroom
Also, on the forum, if you click on latest post or the little arrow next to the last poster's name it takes you to the top of the page instead of to their post.
##Should be fixed
minor one this, when the avatar page loads the window is restricted in size and can't be dragged to a different size or maximised, should ba a straightforward fix in the window attributes
can't even make this a sticky
##should be fixed
There seem to be problems with long usernames, so far I've seen long names in the "Latest Ads" box on the right exceeding the size of the frame, and causing a horizontal scroll bar to appear, and attempts to sent mail to my mailbox seem to be failing as my name is truncated to "Mister_Disc".
##field have been extended to fix this
The page that shows all topics on the forum has the titles in light blue on slightly lighter blue, which is hard to read - switching to the new red would be a quick fix for this, probably just 1 line of the CSS to change.
We also seem to have lost the list of members (which means no more 'who's in my threesome' thread)
I have been unable to merge our photo ads with our usernames. I have tried with both TJ's and mine, and all we get is "user name already exisits, please choose another"....
##You can login with your old photo ads details and set up new accounts, if you do not wish to have 2 accounts then the old ads can be dekleted and new ones set up.
And where's me feckin "Chatroom Op" and status bar etc. and certain other little "added extras" gone
##chatroom op staus bug fixed, other little extras are probably those listed here, if there are more let us know.
Can we have back please:-
Our previous posts search button
A members search button back
Is there a quicker method of getting from pm box into one of the forums eg Cafe? It is a bit of a butt pain to have to keep going through different layers.
Is there anyway that I can link our ad's to my Forum nick?? I now have 2 user name
##If you want to do this you can set up new ads for your forum nick and delete the old ads.
Can we have our "Savebox" back in our PM Box please. That way all those special PM's that I want to save I can save in there....
The option to Mark all topics read doesnt seem to work!!!
The pvt pics doesnt work ..... , my pics are open to everyone,,,,,,, i know some people want to perv but not yet...... i have set them as PVT
Issue One
1. Click My Account
2. Click Forum Settings
Result: The 'Forum Settings' link jumps under the other 2 but I am not taken to forum settings
Expected result: Forum settings page would be displayed.
Note: Second time I click on it all ok. Also affects moving back to the Profile settings page.
Issue Two
1. Click My Account
2. Click Forum Settings (Twice as per above)
3. Click "always allow avatar" to "Yes"
4. Click "signature visible" to "Yes"
Result: Option marker moves from "always allow avatar" to "signature visible".
Expected result: Both option groups to act independantly
Notes In other words the "always allow avatar" and "signature visible" options appear to be mutually exclusive. The 4 option buttons act as 1 group not 2 seperate ones.
Guess who works 2nd/3rd line on a IT helpdesk, will hang up my anorak now.
Final thing, is there any easy way to delete all the pms that have appeared that were deleted before?
im not recieving notification of PMs or Email or replies to threads i have posted on
Can we have back the 'log me in automatically' thingummy, please? It's a pain having to log in every time I pop back here....
And the members list as well? And being able to 'find all previous posts'?
And signatures in PMs, so you can check their profile to find out who has PMed you?
More of a feature request than a bug... as the site now 'knows' if a person is a man, woman or couple, how about limiting the choice of advert category in the 'my adverts' section to just the relevant ones? If the option to post in 'women seeking men' was only available to women, then loking after that section of the site would be a lot less work for the mods, and a lot more useful to readers!
Along similar if less icky lines - there's no option for Dogging. Voyeurism and Outdoor Sex aren't automatically dogging - if we have a forum for it, don't we get a checkbox? Pretty please.
And where has our www page gone??????????????
Hi all I have a slight prob when trying to contact people it wont let me I type the mail out and press send etc........ and it then comes back with cant find user or something like that. happend three times last night. Please can anyone else tell me if that has happend to them?
##Please PM me an example and I will investigate.
oooooooooo lol one last thing .............. can anyone give me a good explanation for showing the Last Online bit on my profile - what relevance is it ?
##It tells people when someone last visited the site, useful for some ie, if someone hadn't been online for 6 months it would explain why they hadn't replied to a pm or forum post.
In the chatroom you now have the ability to view other people's pics and ads, but there are 2 problems I can see so far
1) If you've been in the chatroom for more than about 15 minutes (not sure of exact timing on this), you get logged off the rest of the site, so if you try to view someone's ad you get sent to the login page instead of their advert. Surely if you're chatting in the chatroom you should still be classed as being logged into the site
2) The member photos don't come up at all. I have a photo on my profile which should by rights come up if someone clicks on my member pic in the room. All that happens is the box says "showing pic 1 of 0"
Can i Ask in all the ads... are they going to now just do the location by postcodes only or are they going to give us back the function of doing it by town/choosing where we want to say we are...
I've lost my forum avatar and I can't work out how to re-add it.....I see a lot of you have still got animated .gif files but the only place I can see to upload mine is in the "My Photos" section which doesn't allow GIFs only JPegs instead.
Why is the 'view post since last visit' button not working?
Can you add this to your 'to do list'
iv just been in to the chatroom for the first time since its been changed and to be frank its bloody crap, its slow and jurky and there is no possible way of having any type of proper conversation in there. when will it get better???????????????????????????
Newly discovered glitch... the 'report this advert' oprion in the photo ads gives an SQL error message if you include quotation marks in your report.
Less seriously, but in the same section, I think it would be an improvement if the "view members gallery" icon was removed from adverts where the member has no photos in their gallery, as it only serves to drive traffic to an error page.
I can't see the last post I made on a thread. I've PMed Elliot about it but I'd be grateful if this could be fixed please.
I post... get the error sign and then try to post again to get... you cannot post again in such a short time, please try again later.
Can we have the pages number links at the bottom of our inboxes back please too?
Can the page expiry please be extended so I can write more than one line without having to type it into word then paste it please?
Ok how big or small do the photos need to be to work, does anyone know?
Why when I click on the flag next to the last posters name, or when I click on the last page of some threads, do I get a message come up telling me there are no posts for this subject. Resultin in my not being able to read posts until a page has been filled and a new page started where I am then able to go read the last full page.
##This should be working now, if you find any more pm me and I will investigate.
My second glitch is what appears to be a 'time out' thing thats been installed. I sit and write my carefully considered reply, editing and pondering as I type, hit the submit button only to find that I've been timed out resulting in me having to log in again and loseing my compiled post. I'm getting around it now by copying what I've just typed so that I can paste it back in when I log back in.
I tried to add .jpeg pictures to the My Photo folder but it keeps telling me they are not jpeg
when they are so now I cannot answer adverts that ask for a picture because I cannot attach a picture.
site still repeating postings see my post on my finger, my reply about landy apeared twice
We seem to have lost our pics they were uploaded 2 days ago and were there at first and now theyve gone will they come back or do we have to upload them again?
##Some may have got uploaded while the server was being changed, the photo's on both servers were synchronised and if they are missing have either been deleted as being unsuitable ie
images that are suitable for the site;
Anyone who looks under the age of 18. Anyone with children shown in photographs. Postage stamp size pictures. Pictures with email address's or other contact details on. Pictures that are not on topic, eg popstars, cartoons etc. No pictures with people & animals. Anything that seems to be too obscene for this site in your opinion, should be deleted.
Not sure if it's a glitch or a deliberate leave off ... but where are the links to people's msn/ /icq's gone?
Not so much a glitch but a suggestion to resolve what appears to be a common complaint about the chatroom....
The 'forum' has a number of sections - yeah? Cafe/LMU/Dogging.
Could 'chat' not have the same :
Zone 1 - a relaxed chatting room with Op's to monitor the dicussions and use of the room (as previous) - making it a light-hearted friendly zone.
Zone 2 - a free for all where anything is OK with no Op's (for all the wankers - sorry, I mean people who are upsetting the natives).
A bit like cafe corner (zone 1) and street corner (zone 2) - sorry - I meant to be serious here.
Now - seriously...
Zone 1 - cafe corner
Zone 2 - the pulling point
It would seperate those wishing to chat from those in more of a hurry and the two would not piss eachother off.
I am STILL having problems editing my sig!
Why can't it be as easy as it used to be?
it used to be WYSIWYG - but allowing html tags for color and bold etc.
Now the flaming thing removes the line breaks and inserts stuff that looks more like VB codes in.
added;
The double post bug.
edited coz i just noticed
the delete all old pms function back
phew
:twisted:
yeah thats a new function Red , we just said thanks in the other thread :-)
