Help with making changes to Profile

[suzanne]

I would really appreciate it if someone could give me step by step...easy to understand...i nstuctions for changing the info on my Profile.  I have tired to add my signature info, plus a photo of my pyr and newf that will automatically appear each time I post or reply.  I am  ashamed to tell you how many times I have tried to do this and failed to have the info show up in the Members section, or automatically when I post or reply....but if you were to guess 5 times....you would still be a little low.

I will do my best to assist you...
1)click on profile under user tools
2)there should be a list of different things you can modify on the right of your profile screen
3)If you want to upload a pic to use as your avatar, it has to be under a small file size, under 400 i beleive
4)when you are done modifying, click the change profile button at the bottom of your profile screen

I hope this helps...I suck at instructions.. .

Thanks to nickerbokker and henrysmomma for your replies.  Even though the suggestions made by henrysmomma were what I had tried in the past, I did so again...but, again, I was unsuccessful  :-(    ...at least they did not show up in the members list.  Maybe the problem with trying to post the photo is that it is too large, although I can include it if I add it at the bottom of any posts or replies.  A friend who is more computer literate than I will be here Thursday evening...mayb e she will know if i need to do something to decrease the photo size.

I took some screenshots to help you do this step-by-step. Follow the red squares.

1. On any screen, click on 'profile' under 'user tools' on the right side
2. On the left side of the screen, you will see a section called 'modify settings'. T
3. To add an avatar, click on 'forum profile information'. Then click 'I will upload my own picture'. Then, click browse and select the photo you want. Note: the image must be under 400K. If you cannot resize your picture to meet the size requirement, you can email it to me and I will resize it for you.
4. To fix the timezone, click on 'look and layout preferences'. Currently, BPO is set at some weird russian time. To make it match that clock, you need to add a number. The numbers are: 11 for EST, 10 for CST, 9 for MST, and 8 for PST

Good luck

        YEA!!!!!  Think I was able to edit my profile so that a photo of my two Little Darlings will now automatically show up.  After some of you told me the photo had to be less than 400K, I called my daughter, and she told me how to find out what size the photo I had been trying to ad was.....and it was over 400K.  She then told me how to resize it.  Gosh!!! I feel so powerful each time I master one more option on my computer.  THANKS  AGAIN for your kind replies and offers to help!!!  ...Also was able to change the time to my EST zone, thanks to your info.
