How Do Member Profiles Work?

[slimchance]

Sorry to be such a newbie, but I can't figure out how you guys get your little bells and whistles to appear under your name next to your posts. Like, you've got, like, little pictures and "signatures" and stuff. I like this forum. I want some bells and whistles.

After you log in, the tool bar at the top of the page changes and offers a few options. Choose "Profile". On the next screen, right next to "Member's Bio" there's a link - "Modify Profile" That's where you put in your signature & choose wheteher to show your age, location, gender, etc. The pics (or "Avatars") can be chosen from a stock selection or you can upload one to a server and insert the URL in the Avatar section.

Good luck

if you don't know any photo hostings in the net, I recommend www.photobucket.com or www.villagephotos.com
