Recommended Posts

Welcome to the ACE forum, this is a little information on how to use a forum.

Hopefully it will give you enough information on how to use the features of our forum to get you started. You can always ask for help and I'm sure someone will be able to guide you through whatever you want to do.

When you first visit the forum main page you will see a list of categories, each section has a little description of what the section is for listed under the name.

You can also tell if there has been any new replies since your last visit because the little box will be a brighter color than the other sections. (left arrow). The other side of the page has some info about each section, and the last thread replied to (right arrow).

Once you open a section you will see the threads listed. New replies are a brighter color (left). The right arrow is the button you click to start a new thread.

Or, if you are already in a thread, on the upper right is the reply button if you want to add your comment to the thread. There is also a button on the bottom of the thread that does the same thing.

When you click the reply, or new thread button you will get a new screen, it will have a box where you type in your message, you can also click the smilies to add them to your message.

For New Topics, you will have a couple of options, You can add a picture from your computer by clicking the button by the top arrow. When you are finished with your message, click the add reply button by the bottom arrow.

One other thing to know is at the top right there is a link to "My Controls", this is where you can add a signature to your posts, change you avatar, password, and other options.

If you are really lost after reading this help topic, you can send me or any other members a PM. We will help all we can.

Hello,

I am trying to upload a signature photo. It appears that I need a URL link? or URL picture? Can you please tell me how to do that? Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,

A URL is the address you get from a file or picture uploaded to the internet like at photobucket or any of the hosting sites, if your not using any of those then you can send me the picture in an email and I will host it here for now and add the link to your account if you want.

email it to admin@arizonavette.net

Never mind, I see you have an imageshack account, I just edited your link so it displays for you...

Hello Desert Dawg,

Thank you for editing the URL for us. I have added another photo, could you please tell me how to edit it so I don't have to bother you in the future if badbob finds another photo ?

Thank you so much.

Imageshack is fine for hosting your pictures.

To change your sig pic, goto your profile / edit signiture.

When you get the text box delete the image there, then right above the box there are helpful icons, look for ( picture.png ) to the right of the smilie icon...

Click that and enter the url you copied from imageshack. Then save!

Let me know if you still have problems.

After changing your avatar are you scrolling down and clicking on "save changes"?

For a small fee, I will change it to only 5,000 posts for you. But don't tell anyone. Once you get 5000 posts, you can edit it yourself in your profile. Otherwise it's locked.
