Attention: The End Is Near!
Whoot!
DSO is getting ready to get an online make-over. New this and new that. But to do all this wonderful goodness, our chief techie, Bunny is going to have to tear into a few things. Over the weekend the Private Messaging area got spammed pretty heavy, so Bunny is deciding to start tearing into the Forum area earlier than she planned. So take note: Forums. Private Messages and The Gallery at DSO will be going down for a re-fit on February 1 st.
There is no guarantee that all the Gallery will be able to be saved and upload again successfully. It must be de-tangled from the forum bits that will not be saved, but the goal is for the entire Gallery to be re-loaded after re-fit. Just in case, not all makes it back to its place, it is recommended that if do not have your Layouts saved on your computer that you back them up before February 1.
Now, get a hold of yourself! We wouldn’t leave you hangin’, would we? Who do you take us for? That would just be mean!
How to back up Gallery Pictures
Navigate to your Gallery at DSO, Right Click> Save As on each LO one at a time. If you want to re-up your Gallery photos easily make a file on your harddrive and save each one there. I dropped a number 01, 02, 03 in front of each file name so I could keep the order straight. I do enjoy going through my gallery chronologically to see how I progress so the order matters to me. If you don’t care about that, don’t add the numbers.
I know, you hate change…so do I, but in a year we will hardly remember how it used to be, so let’s hang tight and take this one baby step at a time.
Saving Signatures
I wanted to save my signature so reloading later will be easier too.
Go to DSO>Gallery>User CP> Edit Signature. The preview screen has a HTML option. Click it. Highlight>Copy> Save in a email and send it to yourself. That is the easiest way I could think. When its time to add it back. Get the email and do the steps in reverse. Highlight>Copy>Signature HTML code> Go to DSO> Gallery> User CP and paste the code in to the preview screen.
Snap your fingers ‘cus your done!!
Weeeee!!!
Smile My Lovelies!
