We have received many requests on these topics. Once you register, click Profile on the top right. There is an option to edit your profile. Here you can also turn on the Association's internal email which will allow only forum members to send you email.
You can also amend your email address, include a homepage and bio. You can also change your password for the forum only. This has NO effect for the password in the Assn. Members Area. This password is provided to you by the Association. You are NOT able to change it.
Finally it is here where you can create a signature. Be sure to click YES for this option in the 2 boxes provided.
If you want help on how to post a picture, you will need to read, How to Post Photos in the General Forum. Hope this helps.

Steve: What happened to all the images, including

in the thread about posting images? (I'm using Chrome. I see images in the other threads.)

I'm not worried about it--just pointing it out...

Did you perhaps copy the post as it appears, or did you use something like "reply with quote" to pick up the tags and URLs? The former probably won't work.

Something else you guys might look into if you have the inclination is to add the

tags to our implementation. The code sections don't expand tags, so you can simply type a signature example and it shows up exactly as you typed it. It makes it a whole lot easier to explain to someone when they can just cut & paste out of the code section for making their signatures, enclosing photos, etc.

Not sure is Snitz is capable, but if it is, the code tags are pretty handy. I use them a lot on other forums when trying to explain something, or even more often when I'm copying an example for bash, python, or other scripting languages.

Edit: interesting that Snitz swallows the (code) (/code) tags (had to substitute parenthesis instead of square brackets so you can see what I'm talking about), that tells me that it's probably capable of using them.

Dave B, I went back to original post by Don and images are gone-assume permanently.
Update: I was wrong. Thanks Dave-you are a genius.

David G, I get many emails as well as questions on the forum re this topic so I wanted to address it. I am sure we could have many more tutorials. Humm, I think we could create a new position-How To Editor!

Darn, too bad elections are closed

Seriously, There are tons of ways to better us here but we do need help. I cant believe what Russ has on his plate. But please keep suggestions coming.

edit: hopefully our web master, Paul, will read this and comment.

Guys, I uploaded this to my facebook and hot linked it here. As an aside, to hotlink FB pictures, go to the image, hit F5, then right click/copy URL. Photbucket etc will have the link available to copy or right click to get the image URL. I never see the button typically when I reply so I just type the {img] etc that is shown below. (I use chorme)

Is there another thread you want me to place this in? Hope this helps.

Peter: I don't think your instruction works in IE, the most common browser.
