I've noticed some people have added a photo on their profile so it shows when they post.

How do you do this ?

Thanks

Mick

Click on 'User CP' at the top of your page.

You'll see a menu on the left of the screen, including the option 'change avatar'. On this next screen, you'll be able to upload a picture that will appear next to your name.

How good is that I have a profile picture taken with AYers Rock behind me.. 2007

The notepad is just for your use. You could use it to store tips about your holiday, reminders to yourself to do things before you fly - anything really. It's up to you.

Yes, there are lots of new features to play with. I'm still learning some of them myself and I'm planning to publish a few tips soon. You seem to have got to grips with uploading photos now!

I had absolutley no trouble getting the profile picture to upload.. unlike the elephants that took me ages..!!!!

If and when you have sorted out what is what on here, I for one will be interested to know thing's.....I can play around with.

Thought I'd join in with some techie questions as it's confusing me :huh:

When I open my User CP I sometimes have a messenger facility but at other times I don't. I take it that this messenger facility would allow PMs to be sent to other forum members. When it is visible it doesn't appear to be activated though. I note that I have a check box to choose whether to receive PMs so it would appear that the messenger should be working. So Olly, can you please explain: why does it randomly appear and disappear? how do I stop it disappearing? and how do I switch it on? :-/

Thanks

We decided not to use the private message function because although I'm sure most Community users would use it responsibly, there was a concern that some might not. So if you do see any references to private messaging, just ignore them.

SO then regarding this do we still have the facilty like the old message boards that if people let you know they want to be linked and give there permission, you can then link us up with our private e-mail addressess???

Cindy

Yes, that's fine. If two people both let me know that they want to be put in touch, I will be happy to share their email addresses.

Kind regards
