just testing out the forum stuff

And with a new forum a new name!

I was once known to regulars as D F Stuckey, and while I am still I use here my most common internet name as it sums me up quite nicely.

More importantly at present, I make inquiry: How does one get the cool pictures and quotes to be generated in the side column with ones name?

“Cool Pictures” AKA Avatars:

Go to the top of the screen and select “Your Control Panel”.  On the left hand side under “Personal Settings” select “Edit Avatar” You can either select an avatar from the default set or upload your own from your hard drive by selecting the “Browse” button.  A maximum of 100x100 pixels and 50kb can be uploaded.  Once you’ve selected your avatar, click “Upload Avatar” to save changes.

Quotes/Signatures:

Again, under “Personal Settings” select “Edit signature”.  Type quote/signature in the box provided then click “Update Signature”.

im so glad for this page..being new..ive learnt much here..now just to apply it.thank you so much

bleh, cant I delete this post.

~~~Ignore lalala~~~

this is cool now I do not feel stupid about not knowing about the form.

To avoid confusion with Off Topic Chit Chat threads, the daily chat threads should only be set up and closed by Moderators.

so does that mean I’m banished further more from creating those everyday chit chat forums, and how does that stop confusion?

As long as a mod comes along and closes the old one it’s not a problem.  I just don’t think we want everyone opening new ones day after day if there aren’t any mods around for a few days, otherwise they’d start stacking up.  Also, I don’t know if it’s an option you have when opening, but I have to follow up and make the thread sticky after you open it, which isn’t that big a deal.

Okay boo, tell me what I’m doing wrong.  (I first posted in another just to test this...I’m trying to follow Accipiter’s instructions for putting an image in: 

I am pulling from my own site directory and using the img code above.  I also tried just entering this manually

this is the address I’m trying to pull: http://hulitoons.tripod.com/rabbit pink yawns small.gif

Hi Hulitoons.
This is what I picked up as the web address:
http://hulitoons.tripod.com/rabbit pink ears small.gif

Please say if you’d like me to delete it.
The only problem I can work out is spaces between words.
Any ideas about that?
