I've just noticed that all the statboxes have disappeared, on my computer at least – could anyone explain?
----------------------------------------Also, I'd like to update my statbox with a new background diagram but whenever I've clicked on 'Upload background image' on the statbox-maker page nothing happens. |

Images hlave to be on a system accessible by the WCG, usually another website. That's why images you have locally can't be referenced in your posts. The statboxes are from a website that another user - Borni - has and if that site is down or cannot be access for some reason, the statboxes won't load.

Thanks, Keith, that makes sense.
----------------------------------------There is another site where I can upload an image onto the internet but I still have the problem of transferring it into the statbox maker. Any ideas? |

If the stats boxes are not showing, it's possible that the stats box maker site is having problems, too.

Hi, Didactylos, the boxes have reappeared so I'll head back to try the stat-maker later. But the 'Upload background' button on the stat-maker site has never worked for me – any ideas what I can do?

No, definitely won't let me upload a picture (either from my computer or another website). Did the existing images get into the database when this was working or is there another way?

I worked around the uploading fault on the statbox-maker page by uploading separate diagrams and inserting them in my signature. On my screen size this looks fine but I expect on smaller screens it turns into a pile of boxes… I'm not a web-designer.
----------------------------------------Any takers on the volunteer advice position? Details in the Suggestions category of the forum. |
