Why am I asked for a login name and password when I try to submit my photo?

The most common reason for this error is the size of the photo. Photos that are taken with newer digital cameras or scanned in at a high resolution are maximized for printing but entirely too large for uploading to a website. When a very large photo is uploaded through our form (over 1 mb), the system often prompts for an administrator's login and password.

If you receive this error, please re-size or crop your photo so that it fits under the allowed 128kb.

Q- What will changing my layout do for me?
A - To date all message boards are designed and the layout is set by administrators/owners. On the web today you have 2 basic styles of message boards (inline and threaded). There are different flavors with-in these categories. For example with threaded boards there can be two or three levels. A basic threaded board will have a primary post and all its replies within or under the original (parent post). With LiveBoards your administrator can choose between two styles of threaded boards. These choices are the basic threaded model or the threaded with bump feature. What the bump feature will do is post the last topic replied to, regardless of the date of creation of thread. The advantage of this is keeping hot topics on top and not so hot threads will slowly fall down the list. The inline version will display messages descending (most recent to less recent). Many high traffic sites with one arena use this style. The inline model will display messages in the order of their post. With the inline style you can see if the message was original or a reply. When reading a reply you can from that post jump directly to the post it was a reply to. When viewing a post you can also view all replies by clicking on this message has x replies [View Them]. Your View (layout) can be changed to your preference. This is a feature that is unique to your LiveBoards Message Board. Now you can view a board in a way that you find right for you!
