I went skiing with a girlfriend
I walked into our bedroom and she looked surprised to see me. She had her knickers half up and a wire leading from them to a hand control thing. She explained to me that it was a sort of knicker warming device. I asked if I could try it. She said "no, the batteries are flat". Now I know she had only just bought them that morning, so there must be a problem.
Also when I ski near her I get a strange interference on my Ipod. Do you think her heated knickers could be acting as a transmitter Definitely picking up some vibes here! Or maybe she keeps going AAAAaaaaaaa and gets them so wet they short out!!

Select the Orange "UCP" (User Control Panel) button from the top, then select profile from the list on the left and then download you avatar (max 90x90 pixels)

I'm asked for a URL, but how do I use a photo out of my library? P.S. You're very helpful, and I do appreciate the time you give to us klutzes!

I've a problem! I live in a fairly isolated spot and am almost at the end of a long (rural) telephone line. Hence: band speed(s) are pretty low!
When I attempt to stream a movie/vid, the stream stops and buffers, so much that I lose any audio thread and, of course, the vid flow is fragmented.
Is it poss to download the vids? I've already downloaded the zips of some of the pic sets. (Damned fine they are too!!!)

Yeah it stops buffering if you let it download for a bit first. When the black catches the grey is when it will have to stop.
If you had a faster connection, it would be downloading quicker than you can play it, so you wouldn't have the problem.
Thats the downside of living in a nice rural area. I would swap my speed for a house in the middle of the countryside any day.

I always download them, don't bother with the streaming.
You know you have to click the 720 etc blocks for the download links?

OK, so if it is site, then all the videos can be downloaded rather than streamed. As Mr Datsun points out, under the stream, there are a set of choices of format. These are links to files that can be downloaded.

If you right click on the link and do " save link as" you can download them ion Windows....I opresume there is a similar Apple function (never use Apple, but I guess it's possible!) _________________

Thank you all for the advice.
I live at the end of a long piece of string connected to a tin can. To upload a full set of videos of say 20 minutes in all 5 formats about 1.5Gb, it takes almost 24 hours.
During that time I can not get any internet access to do anything else.
Kisses

Miss Hopeless Hybrid I know nothing of the effect of Paracetemol on parrots (Other than that's why there's no Aspirin in the jungle!!) but I know Macs inside out. What have you got? I'd be happy to tweak your internal workings!!! 24 hours to upload 1.5Gb? Christ where are you living? The Hebrides? Jeez, you'd be better off putting them on DVD and getting one of your Moderators to upload from a faster connection somewhere else. Like my place for instance lol
