I'll post a few instructions for other things here and there... and feel free to experiment. Karl figured out how to do his avatar, for example.

Consider my board your board and enjoy.

I did a Google Search to find out how to use an Avatar.
I just did the same search again and can't find that page.
There are other pages on the subject though but not a clear and concise as the one I found the first time.

I think you just host your avatar somewhere like on photobucket, make it in a public folder, copy the URL of the image, then go into your profile here and insert the URL under your avatar address. Save the changes and away you go.
That's just a quicky run down.
Be back later.

Well the board is down for real now. No reply to this topic, no reply this post, etc...back in the land of the weird charlie chan smiley. Isnt this Pro boards? I mean when I signed up before that's the email confirm I got...but when I tried to log in today...no go. had to go back to NTE and use the link from eathray. WTH? So what is this "karma" thing under our ID on the left? I have a 0...that doesn't bode well! Where is the next page button here?? There is a previous arrow but no forward arrow? We have to type in the page? Ug...me cave girl. No can do all that stuff. Huh...that's interesting...so apparently double colons with a smile is rolling eyes? Looks like a spider one.

Hi Fire, It is Pro Boards. I'm not sure about the sign in thing... but I redid my own password as well because I forgot to sign in as 'admin' instead of my user name I need to remember I'm the Administer I'll look into the karma thing... I may need to set something up for it. When it shows for example, page 3 of 4, the 4 is actually a link as well as the '≫' looking symbols which are page forward and page back, respectively. You can also enter the page you want to go to. Eathray

Well I have to finish "Cops" (my noon guilty pleasure), make an important long distance call and then walk to the Docs. So my mid-afternoon is spoken for anyway.

There. I just gave you a karma.
It's just a way to give approval points to a post if you like what they say. click the exalt button under their name and give them a karma point.

Thanks Eathray. I asked for my info again so maybe that will help. I dont think I used my usual which always messes me up-i thought I wrote it down. Well that also explains what smite is in a way but who knows what happens with that. thanks for the karma point shhhh...karl I spend a lot of time downplaying that fact about Canada....lol. Really like it up there. Great people.
