HotKey Not Working

Post by OldGeek » Thu Jun 01, 2023 5:15 pm

This past week I had a problem and I had to restore my system (using Macrium Reflect). I installed MS and now the HotKey doesn't work.

Also how do I insert images to the message board?

Macros12.dat would contain all your scheduling and hotkeys. It's housed in the same place as your scp files - your Macro Scheduler data folder.

Upon reinstalling Macro scheduler would create a new, blank one. If you can access the old one (or one of it's 001,002,003 backups), you can rename the old one to macros12.old (for example) and reinstate the old macros12.dat.

Code: Select all

To post images, you need to point to it's url. The code above (generated by using the "insert image" button in the editor and then pasting in the URL posts the image below.

I closed MS, copied the macro12.dat and macro12_xxx.dat files, then opened MS. It didn't help.

As for the images, where do I store/upload them?

Thank you for the reply

From here

Can I post images?
Yes, images can be shown in your posts. If the administrator has allowed attachments, you may be able to upload the image to the board (**Dorian Note - image attachments are disabled** So.....) Otherwise, you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.example.com/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor images stored behind authentication mechanisms, e.g. hotmail or yahoo mailboxes, password protected sites, etc. To display the image use the BBCode [img] tag.
