I was trying to send a PM to a supporting member and when I hit "submit message" button I got a message "member not found". The member just replied to a post on 4-7-2014. I wanna help him with a part he's lookin' for is the reason I'm tryin' to send a PM. Can I get some assistance please?

Can you either post who the member is, or PM me who the member is, so that I may try to PM them as a test.

M16TA is the member. I tried several times using both upper & lower case letters with no luck.

Lol thanks popo8. I did get the pm from ardent yesterday.

This brings up something I've thought about before. To make it easier to tag the member you are thinking of, could there be a recommendation box once you start typing. Similar to Facebook when you type in someones name. Idk what all that would entail, and I'm thankful for the option to tag people in general. I would just avoid spelling issues or the need to open a new tab to find the member you are trying to tag. meissen

That is an idea, MI6TA, and also possibly do something about the bit size on pics trying to be uploaded. Take these for example...282242822528226...on my Coolpix camera they're over 5.0MB and won't upload to this site. If I take 'em on my Kodak Easy Share they're about 1.53MB and don't seem to be as clear. I've solved my own problem but I'm not in the habit of carrying an arsenal of cameras with me, which is why I hope an update can be done.

Unfortunately these are custom add-ons which are coded by others, not myself or the admins here. I think the only place that works is when you're typing to send someone a private message, but even then if you start typing M16TA it won't recognize that you really mean MI6TA.

Sorry - I can't increase the size just because you have your coolpix camera's setting too high :lol: There's no need for images that big to be uploaded to a forum - if you use a tool like PLiska you can take images already on your computer and downsize them to a forum-appropriate size. The easiest solution would be to just downsize the coolpix image settings to a smaller size right on the camera's menu.
