[Rahul]

go to "user cp", top right of your screen.

then go to the "edit options" tab

scroll all the way down.

note: the pic should be smaller than 100 x 100 pixels.

clairegirl,

The pictures are called 'avatars'.

As Rahul has said,

Go to your User Control Panel - the first bottom from the left, located at the top right hand corner of your screen.

Click on Edit options (third from the left)

Your avatar-options will be at the very bottom, of this page.

BOS do have a FAQ,

See the FAQ button:

Third button from the right, top right-hand corner.

 

[Rahul]

i stand corrected.

i still think that having a main thread, linking to other threads with such problems will be a good idea, in my opinion anyway [not that it matters].

 

[Huy]

No, your opinion matters Rahul. (okay, I'm just saying that ).

I think the whole point of having a FAQ, as you have suggested, is to have a main thread (or index), listing the common types of questions asked -- you could say, 'frequently asked questions' even.

if i was a new user, i would probably head straight for "site help" and make a thread, that is what i did do.

i just think it would be more practical, in the sense that, it would be more useful.

my main point is having in 'thread form', as that is what they see/use, rather than a small button.

 

[Huy]

True, but if you were a new user - you wouldn't post in the right forum!

If nobody takes notice of the FAQ button, they can always create a thread (anywhere), it'll be moved, and their questions will be answered. It's not a big deal, and doesn't take that much effort.

 

[clairegirl]

hayy! it works

thanx rahul and Huy

 

[Huy]

No problem clairegirl, although Rahul did beat me to it. (maybe it's because I was responding to your PM ).

I like the hair, it's very funky!

i agree, make a standard response, which can be linked for these threads. as winston said once people don't like reading for their answer, i think it's a bit hard to take everything in when you don't know what is going on, and as this person asked - "picture under my name" or something, they would never have known it was an avatar
