Custom Setting Issues in Profile Page

Profile page custom settings not saving

Hi,

I’m having trouble customizing my profile page. It mainly has to do with trying to upload a custom background, in the “Page Background” section/text box, using an image hosting site, and changing the font style.

With the page background problem, I am able to put the URL image link and save it in the “Page Background” text box with no problem. In fact, the image even shows up in the background when I save it. But as soon as I refresh my browser or leave the forum, only to visit later or something, my saved image is gone and nothing is there. And in the place where the URL link used to be, is now nothing but the word “transparent” in “Page Background” text box. I have tried using different web browsers (Chrome, Firefox) and different image hosting sites in hope to fix this, but I get the same problem.

As for changing the font styles, I am having the same problem. The font does visually change at the time I save it, but as soon as I refresh the browser, the font goes back to its default setting of Times New Roman.

So, I guess in short, some of the custom settings aren’t staying saved when you customize your profile page.

Below, are screen shots of before and after of what I see when I put the URL image link in the Page Background text box.

Before

After (if I refresh the browser or leave the forum and come back)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Heya,
I haven't personally encountered this problem, but I did notice that my url seems a bit different than mine.
Can you try to add a url keyword and some brackets? Like this: url(your image link)
I have no idea if that fixes it but it's worth a shot, right?

LOL, wow that seemed to do the trick, in regards to the background image staying saved. Just had to put the "url" part first. Figured it would be something simple. I feel stupid. :lol: Thank you though, Araka! I appreciate it. :hug:

The only thing I'm still having problems with now is my chosen font staying saved. It is still reverting back to the default settings, when I refresh the page.

Well, at least my background image isn't disappearing. Thanks again, Araka! :)

Hehe, I'm glad that worked. :hug:
As for the font... I've never actually changed my font for my profile. But I just tried it and it seems to do the same thing you're describing.
I can change it, I see it change and I tells me it saved the changes, but once I refresh it reverts back to the default font. (even though it still says what ever font I selected in the drop-down)

I think the font issue has been happening for a while. Mine has been the default for a long time despite showing a different font in the settings. Not sure how to fix that but it may not be fixed for a while since there are other more important things that Dai and aarin need to work on first :hot:

@Twinstar;

Ah. Well at least it's good to know that I'm not the only one experiencing the same problem with the font. But yeah, it's not really an urgent matter to me or anything, so it's cool. I'm just happy to get the page background working again.:-)

Regarding the link image, you remember Twinstar (https://aarinfantasy.com/forum/members/twinstar/), we or I had the same problem (still have when setting new profiles) and we had to cut the "s" from the http. (eg. http://imgur....)

But i don't know if this works anymore ^^

I haven't heard/seen if there is still an issue regarding the links so not sure ellymate.
