[Vocabulary] pique one's curiosity/interest

[Tdol]

Which OS and browser are you using?

 

[luxury20041985]

No, I cannot see "from computer" or "from URL". which is supposed to be above " Add an Image from Url."

I am using windows 7. For some reasons I can not use the google chrome on my computer. So I have tried the internet explore and the baidu browser. Neither of them can properly display "from computer" or "from URL".:lol:

 

[emsr2d2]

Why can't you use Google Chrome?

 

[luxury20041985]

Actually, I do use google Chrome on my computer at work. Still I cannot see the like button. I cannot see myself surviving in this forum without using these two important buttons. Please help me.

You'll be fine! However, please add a signature line that says something like "I'm sorry but I can't see the Thank or Like buttons so I will have to add posts to express my gratitude".

I hope you stay with us. Just don't bother joining wordreference.com. They've never had 'Thank' and/or 'Like' capabilities.

It is so nice to join this forum.

Who knows? I might have been a spy from wordreference.com.

I hope this doesn't make you mad, but I cannot find where to edit my signature line. I have checked my profile. :shock:

 

[Rover_KE]

If you're a WR spy, you'll already know they have no such buttons.;-)

Click on Settings near the top of the page, then scroll down to Edit Signature.

It takes more than that to get me mad.

 

[luxury20041985]

Well, this is what I see after clicking on Settings. Edit Signiture is nowhere to be found. Now I have the desire to throw my computer out the window.

Try one more thing before taking the drastic step of defenestrating your PC: on that page, click General Settings.

 

[luxury20041985]

so I clicked general settings. I still believed that miracles could happen. but no again. Edit signature is still nowhere to be found.

It's got to be there somewhere. Don't give up. As your renowned countryman once said

“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” (Confucius):-D

Is anybody else having trouble following these steps to find Edit Signature? Can anybody explain it better?

 

[luxury20041985]

I can only see what is shown below. It is lacking the editting signature and edittng profile picture options. I am falling and I hope I rise once and for all.

Strange.

Thank you, Piscean. Please will somebody else try following my instructions to create a signature? Preferably someone in moderation or who has never posted a signature line before.

 

[luxury20041985]

I hope others can help. I have now reverted to my original signature.

I am missing your "testing" signature already.

I hope this doesn't make you mad, but I cannot find where to edit my signature line. I have checked my profile. :shock:

Try now and let me know by PM if you can't. You joined some years ago and came back now. We have a category for dormant accounts, which is a step away from deletion as we don't keep details online for longer than necessary, but it didn't seem to update when you started posting recently. I will look into the matter for cases like yours. I have manually updated the account to make you a regular poster to the database for the meantime.
