Having problem with "Edit Account"

Published on June 29, 2004 By Lady Aarielle In Stardock Software

When I go to "edit account" and then to "upload / edit your desktop image" it behaves as if it has uploaded the new picture, but does not change it.

Also, it shows one picture ( a much older one) in "edit account and a different one when I click on my name in the message boards.

Anyone have a clue what's going on?

Wow....glad I'm not alone in the Twilight Zone...

Try using SDC and see if it takes it.

I've never used or seen where you can change the "account preferences" in SDC.... I usually do it from the 'WC' site.
On top of that I'm having problems with SDC and that's why I was trying to upload my desktop picture.

Use the Web Browser in SDC...

When I click the Web Browser in SDC it just takes me to Stardock home page.

In SDC settings change the Browser home page to www.wincustomize.com. You might also have to check to use Stardock Central for Internet Connections.

ok I changed the home page to WC, thanks.

However, it still did not change the picture when I did it from there (SDC) either.

...and you're getting no error message?

not when I try changing the picture... it just goes through the motions but the old desktop picture remains.
The only thing it changes or updates is the "desktop title" I give it, but the pic remains the same.

It only allowed me to change it once today as you can see if you've ckicked on my name.... but I tried changing it again and it won't do it. In "edit account" it shows a pic that is way older than today.

I think this may be tied in with that version of SDC you have installed....it's ancient

Is that why I see two different pictures in 'edit account' and the message boards?
Because, the only place I upload it is in 'edit account'... so you would think it would show up the same everywhere. It's not like I'm uploading in different places?

It's possible...not probable..but possible that your install of SDC was old enough to not be able to get to the correct server...

Of course, haveing both things work would have been toooo easy

So, the screeshot picture still will not update.
I tried to do it from SDC and WC site as well but no luck on this problem.

I think, when it's all said and done, this is a cookie problem, but let me know what it does with the new SDC installed....

Do you have a cookie blocker running and did you try it in IE?
