ADJUSTING THE TEXT SIZE

You can control the size of the way in which the pages are displayed by using Control+ to make things bigger or Control- to make them smaller. Press the Control key and 0 (zero) to restore your display to the default sizes.

CHOOSING A USERNAME

The system will accept just about any sort of input for a username. You may have noticed that some members are using their full name rendered in lowercase letters while others are also using their full names written conventionally. Still others have opted to use a nom-de-plume.

TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD

From the main left-hand navigation menu, go to 'My account' then select the Edit tab. You will see two blank password fields, one for your new password choice, the other to confirm that you have entered it correctly. Click 'submit' to complete the change. If you click 'submit' without entering new data in the empty password fields, the old password will remain in force.

ADDING A PICTURE TO YOUR POST

While in the editor screen (that part where you can type text and format it with button controls) you will see upper right a little blue camera. Position the text cursor where you want the picture to appear, then click the camera. A pop-up window will open. Use the upload button to navigate through to where the picture is stored on YOUR computer, select that file. Please type an name the system can use to identify yor pic then scroll down to the bottom of the window. Click 'submit'. After a few seconds the pic will appear in the pop-up window indicating it has been uploaded. Just a couple more things to do. Select original size if your pic is around 600 pixels square otherwise, if bigger, chose 'thumbnail'. Then click left-align or centre from the dropdown menu, then click 'submit'. Your picture will appear together with your text. Finally, remember to scroll to the bottom of the edit screen and click 'submit' a final time to save your work. Easy, eh !!
