Thanks ED & Jerry

[Don G]

Please forgive me. This 65th year has been rough. Jerry I thought "User CP"
on this board was referring to Crappiepappy....LOL... until you showed me the
light.

Hey Don:

There are all kinds of neat things you can do in your "User Control Panel" a.k.a. "User CrappiePappy".
You can create a signature and profile and a lot of other stuff.

You can even add an Avator (I'd never heard of that one either).

Get in there and play around - you might like it!

Would you throw in a computer lesson or 2 with a guide trip? How far are you from Memphis?

Yeah, this message board is tons more complex than the previous message board we used here on Crappie.com. It seems like it's not terrible getting the hang of using it up front, and it seems like as you familiarize yourself with it, more tidbits and cool features are brought to light. I really like it. Here, I'll add an Avitar and a Signature Picture using the User CP.

being taken in vain again ? .....LOL!!!

If I am not mistaken .... Ed, correct me if I am wrong ... but, I believe that the "Avatar" setting is to allow the placing of a small pic onto your post, that will occur on every post you enter ... as in the Crappie.com Logo that occurs on Ed's posts. (max size is 80x80 pixels or 19.5kb, whichever is smaller)

Personally - rather than an Avatar ... I'd like to see our members put their "location" in their user profile. That would help us determine where the member is, and the general surroundings and conditions under which they normally fish. I know, a lot of us already have done so ... but, a lot of members and newer members don't.

Hey Don:

I'd probably confuse you more than ever on the computer. Most of what I've learned has been from trial and error.

Lake Hamilton is about 3 hours from Memphis. I get a lot of clients from that area.

Nope, a tad different. The "avatar" is the black and white Crappie, just to the left of my name "edhead" at the top of my post.

The Color Crappie with the Crappie.com in the pic is part of my signature. Sorry I caused the confusion by using both, but I wanted to show all the possibilities.

But does using lots of small pictures as in if everyone used an Avitor and a picture in their signiture would it slow the board down any?

Hopefully the answer is not or not significantly. I need to find a small picture of Bullwinkle the Moose to include in my avator someday.

Eh, it's not going to slow the server down much at all. The pics are very small and once loaded, are brought from your PCs local Cache Memory anyway.

It's spam mail that's been slowing down my server. Nothing to do with you guys. I'm in the process of moving mail off my Web Server to it's own server to sddress this issue.
