Help with how forum works please

GrandmaSnoodle · September 2014

1)I did get a picture up with the help of the Gkids. But I need help understanding how things work here, please.
2)How do I turn off signatures. I can not find where the chat begins and ends and I am so confused.
3) This rating system please some one explain it to me. In word not abbreviations for I do not understand when people speak in text talk. Gkids love to talk like that around the house, I think just to see my grrr face.
4) Hello new friends and old ones. Please give me time to figure things out here before I do much posting please and thank you.
5) I hit preview to see this text and It inbeds in the bar and I can not see it. How do I fix that too.

I'll try my best, just need a few minutes

a. If you want to post pictures from out computer, you need use a photo hosting website. Such as photobucket. Upload your photos and then it's pretty easy to get the here.

b. From anywhere on the internet, here you go

Then Post and your image should be there.

Ohh perfect and very understandable. Do I need to resize images in this forum? "width=600" "height=480"

06Bon06 · September 2014

They resize automatically when they are too big

I'll have the rest of your questions answered in a sec

06Bon06 · September 2014

Hey, the forums are being wonky again and won't approve my comments with images

I'll try in a few minutes

06Bon06 · September 2014

My last post disappeared o.O
Let me try again

2.

3. My signature is here to help

Apparently, I can't post a link to MY OWN thread

Just click on the link under "Everything you need to know about the member system

" in my signature, not the image hha

Unfortunately, I don't quite understand your last problem

Rating system. Is there a way to see who rates you?
When I preview the "Categories Discussions Activity Best Of..." bar covers my preview

You mean who likes your posts, if you are using Google Chrome you can click left and hold while dragging from the number next to 'like,agree etc.'
Can you take a screenshot and show me

GrandmaSnoodle · September 2014

I can try but was on 1st draft not this one. Will make different post to get a pick and not post it.

06Bon06 · September 2014

Wow, seems like a bug o.O You can make a bug thread of that or just ignore it and not preview your first posts

I don't want to but in, but I'm not exactly savvy when it comes to forums, either. By my age, you'd think I'd have figured it out.

Anyway, how do you get a screenshot or a picture of your Sim as an avatar? I can use pictures from my pictures folder, but when I take a prt screen then put it in paint to size it, I get a tiny picture inside a big white square when I upload it here.

Have you tried just cropping it to the size you want?

Hah, while we are already at it, I have a question as well!

When I quote something someone else said, it only shows as simple text copypasted into my post. Other people when they quote, the quote is a in a little nice gray box, which makes it look much better.
How do I do that too in the forum? :)

Not at all, look at the list of badges on my thread, they help you earn points. Besides, you already have 37 points and with a little posting you'll be a member soon enough

How do the points work and what are they for?
