Anyone can register here and get immediate access to post on the forum and upload pics to an album. The biggest inconvenience for newbies is that all of their posted images and links are filtered into the moderator queue because they have to be approved by a mod before displaying on the public forum.
Could you "newbies" please explain which forum functions you are seeking to use that you don't have access to?
It took me forever to figure out how to do new things on here, but most of that is my ineptitude, as I have never posted on a website before. To change your pics. go into settings at the top of the page, not profile. Edit avatar or edit profile pic. The drag and drop feature has been fixed, I think. It might take time to figure out all the tricks, but I think you will get there. Just give us a chance here. The site is just getting over a severe bout of porn posters who flooded the site with a ton of crap. So, people are hesitant to trust right now. You seem to be hanging in there, though.Yes I can post ok which is good.I noticed that everyone has pictures under their name ( love yours) in trying to go into settings I keep getting error messages that tell me that I don't have any rights. It's ok I guess. Like you said I can post. I thought it might be fun to try some of the other option here.
Glad I could help!Sorry about those 2 test posts. I just registered and am trying to figure everything out.
I followed menotyou's directions and figured out where to find the settings and how to select an avatar. Thank you my dear.
Is there an admin / tech person here who can check the settings on my account.
there is that dissapearing post waiting for approval. while the next one goes through with no problems?
Images, links and bb code can also be posted by newbies but posts containing that content are automatically diverted to the moderation queue to be approved by a mod before displaying on the public forum.
Hi Cheryl,
Problems understood, its a shame you have to do anything like this. I think the reason he was asking it appears Tartan was able to upload his picture with only three posts to his credit. thanks
There's actually quite a few pre-defined avatars that can be used. Tartan picked one in the animated group.
Too bad there wasn't a brown kool-aid avatar!
There might be, couple hundred in there easily. Didn't feel like looking through them all.
I'm not sure brutal is the B word to use. Is there a time limit to the trial period here?
nim thanks for the all the help with the diagrams but it wont let me go that far , as soon as I click on the avatar option I get the error message. Men I'm not sure why you're being so rude. All i did was ask for a little help. Did I do something wrong?
Analjones, (I would use AJ here but we already have an AJ who is of fine moral character)The time limit is likely based on the quality of your posts. Your last post will not shorten your time limit.
