photos or avatars

Postby Gingertom3 » Wed Dec 22, 2010 11:03 am

It seems most members are either shy about putting faces to their names or else don't know how to go about it. I had to ask my son how to upload a photo of myself. Well, he did it himself, so fast that my eyes couldn't keep up with his fingers. He's too clever for me. But I wish I knew how to do it myself.
Can our technician help us? Maybe list a set of easy instructions for us?

Another idea: each time a member posts something, his photo or even just an avatar could pop up on the screen.

What do you think?

Good suggestion
I have just enabled the Avatar feature. Go to your control panel and see the "Edit Avatar" to do your thing. I have absolutely no idea how to do it! I'll work on it.

Just a question and suggestion.

I think the forum needs to have a User FAQ forum section added where users can post questions about forum functionality.
For example, when I try to add an attachment in a private message, it tells me that Jpeg's are not allowed.

When I search the FAQ's for answers, I find:
"Attachments
What attachments are allowed on this board?
Each board administrator can allow or disallow certain attachment types. If you are unsure what is allowed to be uploaded, contact the board administrator for assistance."

I understand the want for limiting attachments to cut down on bandwidth and space, but...which attachments are allowed? Size Limitations?
A global attachment procedure would be helpful.
