Please rate photos!! By doing that you are increasing the quality of the gallery for other visitors!

Above inside the red circle, you find links for the following:

Codes
If you want to include a picture in a forum post, the easiest thing is to just drag it from the photo page and drop it into the post you are editing. But you can also use the different codes below.

"Linked Thumbnail" and "Linked Medium" produces a thumbnail hyperlinked to the original picture like below:


"Medium Image" code produces a picture like below:



"HTML Code" can be used if you want to show the photo on your own website but will NOT work in postings:


"Direct Link" is just a link to the photo like below:

It so much nicer whith profiles having uploaded an avatar and profil picture! So please do that asap!

Please go here: Edit Avatar and upload a picture; either of yourself or a symbolic picture if you don’t want to show your face. It would be nice with real pictures but it’s absolutely OK if you prefer a symbolic avatar instead.

For you convenience there will be a collection of pictures in the Photo Gallery that can be used for Avatars. If you would like an Aum picture as avatar, you will find almost 300 very beautiful Aum pictures;

How to do it? The easiest way is just to choose a picture that you already have on your computer or to download one from the Internet (for example one of the Aum pictures). Go to Edit Avatar, click on “Browse” and find the picture you have downloaded to your computer and it is done. You don’t have to think about the pictures size, it is taken care of automatically.

(The so called “Avatar” is the picture that appears in connection with your postings. It doesn’t have anything to do with the vedic word “avatar”, it’s just the term used in forums...)

The purpose of the Oneness Movement Local Forums is

1. Giving an opportunity to discuss purely local issues, events, projects etc.
2. Being more "intimate" than a "big" international board.
2. Giving those that doesn't have English as native tongue the same opportunity as English speaking .

The local forums are not intended, nor can they, replace the real local websites. What they can do is to provide the necessary software for forum activities as most websites doesn't have that. But also, GO is catering for a larger audience than only those directly connected to Oneness Movement (GO has over 1.6 million unique visitors per month). Many of them are still new to Oneness and may not have found local information otherwise. Please have links to all related websites, both in postings but also in the so called "signature" the text field in the bottom of every posting (edit your personal signature here http://www.experiencefestival.com/fo...=editsignature).

Initially it will be just one forum per country (or state) but if the members of a local community wants to have several sub-forums - no problem! If you want to have for example one forum for sharing/discussion, another for announcement of events and another for deeksha requests, just contact me and I will fix it.

It is also possible to connect the local forums to a certain Social Group. This gives some extra features but to make it simple, there is no such connection for the moment.

Hopefully there will not be any problem with different alphabets...it may not work perfectly in the beginning but it shouldn't be a big problem.

All countries are invited to have their own forum in their own language. The moderator/host should be someone well respected within the community in question. There is no problem having several hosts sharing the responsibility. Please contact me and I will set up everything!


OK, time for some music: !
