calling all geeks- AKA - CYBER GODS

**Beauty hunter** · 05-15-2009, 01:00 PM

Love the beauty of someone that knows the computer language- haven't lived in cyber land long enough to know all the language- need help from a cyberite.
Question? When posting a pic for avatar need human toddler instructions, also, trying to post pics of furniture- same method or different? I've posted some pics- probably by accident. Thanks- lost in a foreign land

Please don't confuse me with a cyber-geek. I'm pretty much illiterate, but this is what I do.

avatar - go to User CP (it's about 2 inches North).
On the left side, go to edit avatar
Then you can browse your computer for your avatar or pick one of the others.
Save changes.

For posting pics
under this reply box (scroll south) there is a place to Attach files. Browse to your pictures. Upload. and then submit your reply.

Somebody can probably tell you other ways to put in pictures, but like I said, I'm no geek and I don't know a lot of shortcuts. Hope this helps. There are a ton of threads in this forum on just about anything you need help with too.

Thank you sunspotbaby for the kindergarten computer lesson. I suppose I should go back to school and learn how to read since edit avatar was right there in the control panel. Allright, now I'm happy. Avatar done, I'm on to the pic session...I might sell this furniture before we exit this planet- we'll see.

Yeah, me, posting on the thread looking for cyber gods...

The lounge is kind of slow today.

Believe me most of us learn it by trial and error. With me it is mostly error.

I have learned that once I figure out how to do something I write it down in a spiral notebook I keep on my computer desk. That way if I can't remember how I got there the last time I can look in my notebook.

Nice avatar by the way.

And of course just when I kinda figure out what I am doing my computer crashes and my new one has a different operating system

so now I have to start over.

Thanx for the compliment on the avatar- loving the communication thing here- its a beautiful thing. I didn't log into sowal for the longest time cause of the header, footer, url, twitter language- felt like I was in a foreign country. My friend made me do it- so here I am - time to explore!

Believe me everyone is a novice at some point. I have been on SoWal a couple of years but on other Net forums for about 10 years and I am still learning. I wish I could say I was organized but it is mostly out of necessity. I figure out how to do something and can't stand not being able to remember it again later, hence I start the notebook to make notes to myself.

But glad to have you join us and always ask questions, someone will help you out.
