Anyone able to help me with a little customation problem?  I got the wonderful SGA animations from _wwsw_
for my moods.  I have been trying to use them, but have failed.  I flocked them and moved them to Photobucket, but I am not able to import them to my LJ.  

When I go to the customizing page, I enter each URL from PB one at a time.  I uncheck the box that says "inherit from ____" because if I don't do it, I cannot add another URL.  After spending 10 minutes getting all the individual URLs on the page, nothing happens.  Slightly frustrating.

It shouldn't be this hard.  Anyone able to give me some pointers?

did you use the step by step guide she linked to? i found it really useful but kept getting it wrong - turned out i had left in a bit of code that i was supposed to delete - i'll try to find the post...

ok, that was easier than i thought! it's Here and it's REALLY good. the thing i kept doing wrong was pasting in the url but not deleting out the 'http' bit that was already there so it went kablooey!

Ta! I will give it a go right now!

Gah! Still not working! I get the corrected admin codes with the new number and I am able to put in my PB account page URL, but nothing yet.

oh no, i wish i knew more about coding so i could help but it took me a few hours to sort out when i did it! and to be honest i think it was more luck than judgement!

In the admin console, this is an example of what I added:

moodtheme_setpic 349211 85 http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h288/Mercury973/SGA%20Animation/?start=allworried.jpg 80 40


I changed the number from 12345 to this and added my photobucket account. Do you see any problems with this?

[rasah.livejournal.com]

when you say you changed the number to 'this' do you mean the above link or the five digit code you got when you updated the admin console?

[mercury973.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that is the new number that they gave me

[rasah.livejournal.com]

heh, well the only thing i can think of is the numbers at the end being wrong (they are 100 60 on the wwsd text file but 80 40 on your example)... (i sent you an email with the example from the text file i had when i added it). but the file came with the zip file off her LJ so i don't really see how that part can have gone wrong... i'm gonna have a look at my photobucket and see if it looks the same...

Are you using the custom mood editor or the admin console?

The admin console can be found here:

If you open up the admin console in one window then follow the instructions that rasah posted a link to above. - hopefully it'll work.

I also recommend using Notepad to replace the 12345 with the number you'll get from the admin console.

If you need any more help, just reply and I'll try to help you further =)

Yeah, I don't think you can put them all in together - I think you have to do them one at a time.

Hmm.. the '349211' is that number the console gave you when you made a new theme? If so.. download this file that I did with all the codes and paste it into the admin console and it should work. *crosses fingers*

I'll give it a whirll on megaupload. Thanks!

Once you've downloaded the file [shouldn't take that long its only 16kb] highlight all the text in the file and paste it all into the admin console.

Hope it works ^-^
