Smile Newbies - Please read

First off, welcome

I have noticed a lot of new members joining recently, and the same questions being asked a few times, so thought it may be a good idea to answer them in one thread.

Older members, might I ask that you are nice to newbies in here, and answer any questions they have if you know the answers

---------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, first off...to get yourself an avatar.

Click here

On this page, you will be asked either for the URL of the image you wish to use, or to upload an avatar straight from your computer. You CAN use animated avatars if they are within the maximum size.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is whats known as your profile. This shows to anyone who clicks on your name. To talk to other members semi-privately you can write on their walls. If you wish the conversation to be completely private, there is the option to private message.

To change the colouring on your profile, click here. You will come to a screen with various options...just mess around with them a little until you get it how you want it.

You can also use an image on your profile. To do this click here. Much the same as uploading an avatar, except it only shows on your page, rather than when you post.

You can change the privacy settings of your profile here

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As well as using an avatar, you can have a custom signature.

To make this, click here. This can be text, or images, or a bit of both. As long as it is within the signature guidelines.

To add an image to your signature, use the image code [ IMG ] [ /IMG ] without the spaces. And paste the link to the picture you wish to use between the two parts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, before posting, its always a good idea to have a read of the rules just to familiarize yourself with how things work here

Hopefully this is enough to get you started, but please don't hesitate to ask any questions if you have any problems. We don't bite, hard

Also not all of them know that there are other parts to the forum to discuss non-BB things which they are more than welcome to join in on.

Aww this is a good thread. but I don't get why so many members never bother to get avatars and post in other sections. A lot of us when we were new just learnt it all on the way so this is really helpful for those who don't know though.

Do you see the bar which says BB12 Articles (at the top of page)? Just beneath that there should be a button that says new thread (left hand side).

if you look to the top of the screen.... look down about an inch and you will see this:
If you click on Big Brother 12 on C5, when that page reloads, look about an inch down from that part, on the left, and there is a 'not too obvious looking' button that says New Thread.

Threads in Forum : Big Brother 12 on C5



Hope this makes sense!!

No probs, looks like you're getting some advice now that's far better than I explained it.

If you want to print what is on your screen hit the button PrntScr then paste the image into something like Paint or Powerpoint for example. Save the image and then upload it via TinyPic.


There may be an easier way but that's the way I know how to do it.

Aggggghhhhhh - still can't do it!!!! Even with all that very kind help. I must be thicker than a certain housemate which gives me no comfort whatsoever...

I will keep on trying until eventually I WILL post a new thread...watch this space...

Thank you all so much xx

Ah... see I know how to do that... I thought there was a quicker way (ie: just like doing a screenshot and uploading that directly onto here, rather than pasting onto another app then uploading to tinypic etc). I'm a lazy mare - but at least you took the time out to help someone ! More than I did!

I kinda get the feeling that you aren't clicking on the correct forum headers. If you are looking or reading a thread - you can't do it at that point. You have to 'go back' to selecting the actual name of the sub-form name that's at the top (ie: Big Brother 12 on Ch5).

Maybe??
