Confused Newbie to site...

[yvonne85]

Hi there,

I normally use the Cambridge Diet forum website - i've just joined this one tonight for a change.

Anyhoo, I have two questions:

a) how do i get my avatar to display? When I go into the 'User CP' section... then 'Edit Avatar'... there's no option for me to upload one when i get into that page...?!! Ehhh... :beam:

b) Also i can't get my ticker to display - it says i've used all my characters even tho i haven't wrote all that much in my signature!! GRR!!

Anyway, helloooooooo!

:welcome: you need to have 20 posts to get a larger allowence in signature, and when you have 50 posts you get the full allowance in signature.

There may also be restrictions on avatar until you get credits from posting

 

[yvonne85]

Ahhh i see, thanks! I'd better get posting then...

 

[Hedgehog]

the word association and such are great ones for boosting numbers

 

[yvonne85]

Cheers - will try that

Hi Yvonne and welcome to minis. Not 100% sure but if another user likes your post or thinks it's motivational etc then they can give you rep points. It sorta increases your minis "street cred"

Welcome! Rep power is what you can give to other members, or have given to you if you like someone's post/they like yours. You click on the little "scales" symbol on the bottom left of the post you like, and can put a message to the member. It's good to put your user name as it won't show up automatically. There is a more detailed post about it, but I can't quite remember where it is!
