Why is my avatar not showing up... i uploaded one and it shows in profiles, but it doesn't show up in posts??
There are spaces for two pics in your default profile section on the User CP link at top left of menu bar -- the 'profile' picture is in your profile, but you can also put in an avatar, which shows in the avatar space of posts as a small image. Right now the only profile working is the default board pic but shortly you will have a more detailed Zoints profile *(in Member Profiles and also linked from the right hand side of your posts) where if you want, you can create a personal page. Of course you can use either profile or none. Some of the basic info you entered in your old profile is stuff that transferred into y our new basic profile though and everyone has at least some info in the default profile anyway.
Thanks all for your comments. I am still adjusting settings and so on so expect small changes and fixes to things like the header image, which isn;t yet how I want it.
There is a FAQ on how do do things at the top left of the menu bar and that should answer most questions. The best way to figure things out is
1) first read thru the FAQ link which goes thru all the features
2) try clicking into the different sections and checking out what you can do.
It took me quite a while to figurte out why various problems cropped up in my first trial transfers of an older database to a test board but it actually took just two tries to do the real transfer. The first attmept ran into problems though when I redid a section and then inadvertantly duplicated 300 members, each one twice, so some of you were in as three memberships.
Then I had to start all over even after spending an hour transferring the 91,000 board posts.
I can see the missing threads from Bruce's forum and Getting Started are actually still there somewhere, but aren't showing, so I'll see if I can figure out why.
Meanwhile I have pinched a nerve in my lower back as of noon today, so am on painkillers and limping around slowly but fortunately can still walk the dogs and work at the Mac!
