Hi,

I've been wanting to put a picture under my user name and I've put it in my profile picture insert, but I can't figure out how to get it to show under my user name when I post. Can anyone help? At work I use a PC and at home a Mac.

Thanks,
Cinzia

Okay - I think there's a sticky around here somewhere - but here goes


Click on User CP. On the left hand side of the User CP screen, there's a list of items. Find the one that says Edit Your Avatar and click on that. You'll get a bunch of different avatars to choose from, and I think you have to have 50 posts before you can upload your own (FIY -Office Party and TIO posts don't count toward that 50 posts).

When you're finished with the avatar, there's also one for profile pictures - I don't know exactly how that works, since I don't have a profile picture (I like being mysterious ;)) so someone else might be able to come along and tell you.

Hope this helps!

Just a note: you can't get an avatar picture until you've got a post count of 50.

There are default avatars. Those you can use. It's only custom ones that require 50 posts. :)

Cinzia8 - here is the part of the Newbie guide about the User CP and it's many wondrous abilities (you have to scroll down at bit, but it's there) :D
