Create a signature...

[Peter van Es]

Go to Profile (tab above) / Forum Profile Information (link on the left) and create a signature for yourself. It saves database space, and your messages will be all consistent.

Also, if you are a Full Member, you can create a page all of your own on the Wiki... with text and photographs. Mine is here:  http://www.sl113.com/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Profiles.Vanesp... you take that and replace the vanesp with your user name (unless when you have spaces in there).

Hey All. Well I made it here! So, I guess its time to A. Learn what an Avatar is... and B. Learn how to have one for my very own...

Ok James, I know you're a professional librarian, but just this once, go to wikipedia and it will tell you all about avatars

Pete (S.), I decided to go to a more reliable source instead...my 7 year old. I doubt I can have a little guy runnning around here that looks like me, so I'll settle for a picture of my car next to my Username. How praytell?

Go to your profile settings (click the "Forum" tab above) and then click on the "Forum Profile Settings" link on the left. On that page, you should be able to upload a picture which will be automagically shrunk to the correct avatar size.

Got it. Thanks Waqas.

OK, I created the picture and I think the new forum looks great.
Thanks,

Can you post a forum message without your signature showing? or if you have a signature in  the profile, it will be included in every message you post?

Your current signature is shown underneath each message you ever posted. Nothing is copied into your post. If you set your signature to nothing, nothing will show. You cannot change your signature per message.

In that way it is the same as your avatar. Once you have an avatar it will show on every message you posted, including those you posted on the old forum.
