Question for David and Michelle about viewing photos

Thanks Timbo. This must be another "Mac" issue as I dont have that either. Gee wiz, changing back to Windows PC is looking good. At least I had everything on there. I tried what you said and once again I dont have the arrows. Dont ever buy an Apple Mac. They are so far behind the other PC's. Karen.

How do the enlarged pictures open up?
Most times the page goes dark and the picture opens up in front - if this is the case you should get the buttons, and close button at the RHS in the white below the picture.
Sometimes the picture opens like going to a completely new webpage - in this case I don't get any buttons, just the image, and then I have to use the 'back' button on the browser to go back to the blog - is this what happens to you?

Timbo, mines opens as you explained first. The page goes dark and then the pic opens up in the front. The close button is in the middle down the bottom. But I don't have any other buttons. I am really over this Mac computer already. lol. Karen

Works fine in firefox on Ubuntu
cheers

hi karen

what are you doing on the computer

joe

Hi Joe, I was just trying to work out how to go to the next picture when I am viewing members photos, but I cant get the "next" or "prev" button to show. So when I want to go to the next pic I have to close the one I am in and then open the next one. It is not a major drama, but it is annoying and easier if I could just click next. I haven't had the Mac for long, and sometimes are very sorry I didn't stick to Windows. There is a lot on here I cannot do like I could on my old puter. Well you probably can do it, I just dont know how. And when you are not a wiz on these things it doesn't help. lol.

Derrrr, I just realised who you are......lol. Maybe I need some lessons from your wife on these things!

Karen,

Are you trying to view photos in members Profiles or just in the Blogs??

As the option to scroll through photos in the members profile does not allow for scrolling AFAIK

Cheers Kev

thats what you get for buying a

joemac

need to watch what im doing

joe

No wonder they call you "SIR" Kev. You have just answered the problem. Yes it was the members profiles I was looking at. I checked out the blogs and I have the arrows on there. Now why cant it be the same in the members profiles bit? Sir Kev, thanks for your help, I might go and do something now. I have sat here for hours trying to work that out. Think I need to turn the puter off for a while and get some chores done now..........lol.

hahahaha

I wonder if David realises that, that was what your problem was hahahaha


Cheers Kev

Carefull Karen, a self confessed "SIR" needs to be treated with caution hahaha

I have seen how he handles himself at a camp site !!!

Cheers Pesty

Very well if I can say so hahahaha

Thanks for that. I finally worked it out......well Sir Kev did for me. Apparantly the arrows are not there if you are looking at the profile, but they are there if you are looking through the blogs. Hence why I couldnt find them. I get so mad and frustrated with this Mac, and I know it is only learning and patience, but patience is one thing i don't have alot of.....lol. Little things like screen dumps, the keyboard doesn't have a "print screen" button on it, so I cant work out how to do a screen dump, which I used to use a fair biton my Windows PC. Anyway.............thanks for your reply anyway.
Karen.

mac screen dump

shift + command + 3 = whole screen

shift + command + 4 = select section of screen

Thanks for that. Actually I just found the keyboard short cuts on the apple site. I now have them saved to favorites. Oh the days of learning a new computer........lol
