There's an elephant in the room.. saying 'your subscription will end in 8 days' ? Do we pass round the hat for a collection to keep the adverts away; if so, is there a paypal button to donate spare change somewhere.. -

Hey I noticed that I'm the only member (manage space) with a remove marking behind my name. does anybody know why?

Gordon, you can only remove your own membership from the site. Organizers can remove members, but not other organizers. In other words, each member sees the 'remove' link by his own name in the list of members. -

Thanks Alyce, I translated the lbtutorial into Dutch. May I post it somewhere here? - GordonR
Hey Gordon, if it's okay with Carl, you can post it. You don't need permission. This site is whatever the community wants it to be. Thanks for contributing. - Alyce
Wow, the site has been really busy during the last few days. Great! I'm going to archive some of the old chat stuff, so we don't need to scroll so far to read the new stuff. - Alyce Feb 23, 2006
I'm submitting this article for Newsletter consideration. I'm having a bit of trouble with the formatting. It's quite lengthy because of the demo codes. I am envisioning that each of the 4 demos are linked to separately rather than in the body of the article. Rather than trying to do that here, I'll wait until it's accepted and then work on that change at LBPE. If it's not accepted, I'll post it here under Shared Code. I'd also like to include a .png illustration. I uploaded 2 images (CCBTile.png and SimpleHouse.bmp) but when I try to add them to the text, they show up as links to the file download rather than being displayed. Clearly I need to learn a lot more about formatting before I can be an effective contributor. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks. Janet

Janet, when you are editing a page, look at the top right corner of the edit box. Click the link for images. Double-click on the image you want and the tag is inserted. Edit this page to see what it looks like:
I don't see your BMP. Wikispaces requires images to be PNG, GIF or JPG.

I thought that's what I did. Clearly I'm clicking the wrong icon because I'm still not getting it. I tried the .png first, then the .bmp just in case there was a problem with the .png. The edit page I'm typing on at the moment just shows the image not the code. Shows it pretty well, though. <smile>. If I Right Click and View Source, I can get this command:
<img src="/space/showimage/CCBTile.PNG" alt="CCBTile.PNG" />
Copying and pasting that doesn't work, though. I am off to Sandbox now to try to figure this out. I'm sure I'm just clicking the wrong icon. - JanetTerra Apr 9, 2006
