Just seeing if everything I set up works, and if copy and pasting text from Word will leave extra characters or not.

New here, have been lurking for two weeks. This message board is impressive, so many options and easy to use. My sig sucks big time, all I know to make crap like that is Paint and Word.

Keep testing :)

Your avatar is black and white because the size is too big, if you make the resolution down first before uploading it as your avatar, then it should stay in color :)


Welcome to TOprotege!! :D :D

Yeah, right after I saw it did that I viewed the b&w thread. I just took another pic I had and sized it 100x100. That was a good shot too, ruined by the fact I had a blanket on my passenger seat acting as a cover. >.<

Thanks for the welcome. This place is never not busy with people viewing threads. That's handy, I got stuff to post about ;)

Success, my lame sig worked! If anyone has suggestions on how to make better ones, please tell.

Hmmm, it still says I've posted "0" but this will be my fourth.

Lol right after I posted that another one. Thank you, I guess my skills for making such stuff don't blow after all. That pic was from Dec '06, I had just waxed it. I'm working on a detailing thread for the "How-To" section, stay tuned.

Now that's odd, when I do the quick reply (the sig is clicked on) the sig only worked for some of the posts. It shows right after I post it, but when I re-enter the thread its gone. Anyone else have that issue? The sig and avatar are linked on Geocities.

The sig only appears on your first post on a given page.

Thanks everyone. Hmmm, funny how I joined up and my sig went offline, as its on Geocities and have this stupid data transfer limit thing. It goes back to normal after a couple hours.

How come after a while of being logged in, I get logged out? I wrote a rather large post about my tranny issue (I opened up the reply in a new window) and then it said I had to log in. I did, lost my text, went back, lost my text. Refreshed the main page I had opened and I was logged out. WTF.

When logging in you have the option to "remember me", once you click that box everytime you log-in you won't need to enter your user name and password.

So true, I'm signed up with so many things online I gotta make a list of usernames and passwords. Almost thinking of getting a YT account, but then I back out cause I have too much accounts. I just made a blog @ Blogger so that's another to remember.

Thanks for the tip. I usually don't click options like that incase someone else gets on my computer, then they automatically are loged in and could reek havoc with my accounts.
