Hellooo everyone! I have been going to the WF news site for awhile and I am really bored so I signed up for the board. :p This is going to take some getting used to. Anyways how do you get the picture under your name? I like how the smiles work. :)

You're from the official DC Boards, right? I think I recognize you from there! Welcome to the boards! I think you'll find them more active! As for the picture under your named (called an avatar) you have to post 10 times first. With all the different boards here - it should be no problem! Welcome to WF!!

Welcome to the boards.

If after 10 posts you still have trouble with the avatar, don't be shy about asking for help.

Welcome to the boards then! Like the others said, if you still have problems putting up an avatar after 10 posts, just ask someone here to help you.

Yes I am from the DC boards. :) When the news board switched over to here I thought I might as well sign up. ;) Hey Optimal did you see there is a new Transformer cartoon going to be on Fox? I like saw the preview when Jen was watching Big Guy and Rutsy.

I suppose the titles changes with the more you post? :confused: I would have just like edited the above message but I am not sure if you can do that. I have to play around a little. I know at the DC boards you like cannot edit.

Nooooo! I bet I had e-mail notification checked for the above message. :(

Which title? The "newbie" title? Yeah, as Bird Boy indicated, 10 posts and 10 days will let you change that.


I would have just like edited the above message but I am not sure if you can do that. I have to play around a little. I know at the DC boards you like cannot edit.

Here you can edit your messages. Just go up to the "Edit/Delete" button above the post you want to edit and hit it. That will take you back into a composition screen and you can make the changes you want. You can try this out on "The Test Board" in the "Miscellaneous" forum. That's a hassle-free place where you can try all this stuff out. (Not that we'll hassle you around here, of course.;) )


Nooooo! I bet I had e-mail notification checked for the above message. :(

And that would be a problem because. . . ?

Don't stress about this stuff. No one will give you a hard time for not knowing the ropes. Heck, a lot us still don't know a lot of the ropes. :D

Click the "edit/delete" button to edit a post :)

If you want to change your title or add an avatar, you have to be a member for 10 days with 10 posts on the boards, like other people said above.

EDIT: D'oh! Maxie beat me to it! :D There's an example of edit being used for ya.

I just do not want to get a bunch of mails I dunno I am strange sometimes like that. :p

I found the edit thingie thanks for your help. ;) I will have to scroll up and see the 10 day thingie, I just saw the 10 posts.

Ohh and it is probably in the options to not have that box checked all the time isn't it?

You can change your own title? That is soooo cool! :p I have my own ezboard and it is such a pain changing everyone's title. I make it like 30 posts per change. I am always sooo slow at doing it sometimes. I get tired of checking and stuff.

Check the "Email Notification" box under the message box when you type your post to avoid getting emails like I always do because I forget to uncheck that damn box!! Grrr..... :/

I dunno. Some of us are having real problems with "new posts" smilies and the like; you may have a glitch. Toonzone just moved servers and our administrators are working hard at getting the kinks worked out.

Now that you're at 10 posts (and have been registered for 10+ days) are you going to change your title? :)

Where do I do that? I think I added my picture. Hmmm Maybe it will show up with this post?

Click on "Control Panel," way waaay way at the top, then "Edit Options," and "Edit Profile" for both your avatar and title, respectively.

The avatar is there :)

To change the title, go to "Control Panel," then "Edit Profile," then down to "Custom User Text."

Yay the title worked too. :) Granted its boring but I dunno whats allowed here or not. The one on my board is 2 lines "Sugar and Spice" And "Everything Nice" hehe I change it all the time though. It was a line from a song before that.

Excellent!

You've got the avatar, the title, even a sig line with a URL in it. I think you're good to go.

Stand back everyone. Poison Carley has arrived! :)

Watch out if Jen checks my book marks ;)

Hey do any of you guys know where I can get a free webspace to host pictures? First the Globe dies and then Spree follows suit. Well it all started with Geocities stopping file linking. Like whats the point if you cannot use the files?

If you want an answer to this question, you'd be better off posting it in its own thread over on the Animation/General Topics board. You'll get more attention and a better response, probably. ;)

Oh my bad so this entire thread is wrong.
