My Avatar comes from a collection of clip art on CD that I bought from our local computer shop. It even looks a bit like me, given my grey hair (what's left of it) and my usual rambling gear of blue jeans and red anorak.

No none of them appeal to me either - must look for something - got lots of clip art & photos, not a lot of time just now. I like yours.

Yes, but given the Avatars available from Surefish that is not really surprising. There was a much more useful set in the old forum.

What I hadn't noticed until now was that the instructions for uploading Avatars say that they will be scaled to a maximum of 80 x 80. Originally it was 100 x 100.

Have you noticed that not many people are using the avatars fish has on offer?

Once you login you will get some extra options at the top of the page. Click on "Control Panel" and then scroll down the list on the left until you come to the profile settings. One of the options under that is "Edit Avatar".

Sorry to be a thickie, but I can't seem to work out how to insert an avatar, or to do anything at all to my profile - any help appreciated, thanks,

Janet

You're only as old as the threads you post, to make up a new saying that will never be repeated!

I must admit I did feel a bit elderly to be described as a "Junior Member".

Yes, the message counts were too low and were realigned! Also, the titles were inappropriate.
Cheers,

Hi Andy

It's Jean Paul Marat. Found it after doing some research. My next dramatic role is as Marat in Peter Weiss' Marat/Sade.:w00t:

Obviously if any of the bourgeoisie object I'll have to have a talk to Madame le Guillotine.;)

Love, Light & Peace

Why has everyone been demoted back to "Forum Newbie"? Until now 10+ posts have qualified a person as a "Junior Member" and 25+ as a "Forum Member". Did someone decide the targets were too low? :unsure:

RE: Welcome to the new forum

Editor Andy — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 10:24:42 GMT

Going off topic slightly but is your avatar a death mask of someone Linnz? However, if it's not and it's a child's art project or something similar I'll apologise now!

Andy :D

I'm in ...

I've changed the look of the forum for when I log in ...

... good ...

... well ... ... it would be if it weren't for the fact I don't like it and want to change it back.

Only trouble is, I can't ... ... or at least I don't know how to.

Help, please ...:unsure:

Love, Light & Peace

Linnz

PS: Oh ... It's OK now ... ... no worries

Why are some members shown as being online at 8.20 this morning when the Members list and Who's On show their last activity as being yesterday?

[i]And why is my message shown as being posted at 08.11 when both my watch and my system clock said it was 08.21?

PS Edit time was shown correctly.[/i]

Amazed to find myself here. If this posts, I feel I have achieved something. :).

It's good to be here.

Try using the Spell Check button to highlight any errors, although it does seem to have some oddities. It appears to put the correct spelling immediately after the misspelled word instead of replacing it, at least in the web browser I'm using at the moment (Firefox). When I was using the Opera browser I couldn't get the Spell Check button to work at all.

Ah, well. One of the good things about the Firefox browser is that it comes with its own built-in spell checker.

Welcome to the new surefish forum. This forum is remarkably similar to the old forum, but with new style buttons, better individual user options and better security for you and us.

All of the elements of the old forum are here, but in different places, so my first piece of advice is to look at all places on the new format pages because something that you're used to with the old forum is still here, just in a different place.

And feel free to explore all of the old and new parts of the forum, as other forum users have been doing during the second testing period, and our thanks to all those who have implemented and tested this new forum.

A revised user guide will be published in the next few days.

Happy posting,

Andy Jackson
