Anchoress,

I am not a tech wiz and ActiveBoard keeps adding all sorts of bells and whistles to the forum. But I will try to help as best I can. Perhaps Corey or someone who is more "techie" will help out too.

When you are logged in to the forum click on your name.

It will take you to your page.

If you scroll down you will see a whiteboard. You can write anything you want on it. It is basically for communicating more privately with other forum members. If you want to communicate with another forum member you need to click on their name and write on their whiteboard. Not everyone looks at their whiteboards so if you do not get a reply right away post in the forum that you are trying to contact them. Keep in mind that whiteboards are not completely private. Any forum member can see what you have written on them.

On the left of your page you can click on "Avatar".

That will take you to the Avatar page.

Currently you can either download an avatar from your own computer or you can link to one on another website. Which are you trying to do? Perhaps if you click on "Save Changes" it will work.

It should be pretty straight forward and take you through the steps. If you want me to try to help, you need to email me your password as I do not have access to private passwords on the forum.

I hope that helps a bit.

Michele

Anchoress,

Be sure to scroll all the way to the end of the page. The button is on the very bottom.

Click on your name
Click upload avatar (might not need if avatar is in box already)
If not in box, browse for avatar and upload.
Click on the avatar in the box so it get highlighted
Under box click on select avatar

Now the picture should be both at top of page and in the box. Avatar file needs to be under 5Meg
