* psst, hopefully someone stick this up or create a subsection especially for "help" for those who are not familiar with forumming and the steps in here. And move this thread to that section * How to post picture in the forum?[/u] Register for free accounts with either www.photobucket.com or www.imageshack.us/Upload picture directly from your computer and when its uploaded at the site, copy the link that starts with " [ img] " and ends with " [ /img ]" then u paste it at the post message box. Please resize the pictures before you upload them, preferably lesser than 600 x 600 pixels.

PM - Private Messaging[/u] " PM" is what we called Private Messaging, when you wished to talk or share some private matters with a fellow members who is registered in this forum. To get to your PM box, look at the top right corner of the Header, right after your user name. There is a text that reads : you have 0 messagesclick on the link, and it will brings you to your private message box.

Wow...thanks so much chillicandy for posting these FAQs (with great screenshots I might add). I believe many people would find them useful. This thread should definitely be made a sticky! Can I share a FAQ here too? Even though many people may already know this, I've seen quite a few people ask how to resize pictures before uploading. So I'll share one way of doing it... How to resize pictures (using Paint)?1. Open up the Paint program (if you use Microsoft, go to Start>Accessories>Paint...) 2. Go to File>Open and select the picture you want to resize. 3. Go to Image>Stretch/Skew... 4. Change the percentages in BOTH the Horizontal and Vertical fields (Stretch). 5. Then just save your new resized file! ;D

Chilicandy, thanks for making this thread...ieni, thx for teaching us how to resize pics... ;D How to put a siggie?[/u] A siggie (signature) is a picture or some words that appear after each post, sort of like your trademark. (Catherine, I borrow your siggy ya) To type some words as your siggy: 1. Click "Profile" at the line of icons at the top of the screen. 2. Click "Modify Profile" 3. Type anything you want in the space for Signatures (eg. Daniel, you rock!) and click "Save Profile" To put a picture as your siggie: 1. Click "Profile" 2. Click "Modify Profile" 3. Paste the code into the space for Signatures. You can do both if you like, but please make sure your signature's height isn't more than 4 inches.
