Reading only new responses - help
Reading only new responses - help
Hi everyone
Trying my best to get used to this "new" forum so any advise is appreciated - so here is my question - I think there is a way to only see the "new" responses to a posted question and not have to scroll down all the ones you have already read (I think I read something about a link on the right hand side of the home page but I can't find it or maybe it's that I don't know what I am looking for)
Help please
Pia
Oh - and how do you get the little personalized photos next to your name?

when someone responds it pushes the entire thread to the top. and it will also show the little piece of paper to the left of the posts with a different color if there is a new response. the paper is yellow (?) if there is a new reponse and white if you read it already.
Does that help?
There are little pictures under the profile section. You can also custom make one but I don't know how to do that - I stick to the basics!

Hi Pia! Glad to see your post!
Ok, to only see the posts since your last visit, go to the "Index" page (see the link above) and in the upper rt. hand corner there are 3 links that say View Posts Since Last Visit, View Your Posts, and View Unanswered Posts. All you have to do is click on what it is that you want to see.
As to the little picture (Avatar) next to everyone's name, go to your Profile page and scroll down to the bottom. You'll see "Avatar Control Panel". You can browse your own hard drive for a picture you want to use (it has to be reduced to 50 x 50 pixels & not bigger than 6KB) or you can click "Show Gallery" and pick a picture from there.
If you want to use your own picture and you have trouble reducing it, I will be happy to help you. I've helped Robin in NC, CariBert & liamsaunt make their's work. Have a look at those and see what you think, and if you decide you want help, PM me

That was a really helpful response but for the life of me I can't see anything indicating "index" or a link to "index" or a drop down menu showing the options you mentioned. I thought I saw them before but I can't find them anywhere now--not on the page that I'm reading your response on nor if I back arrow to 'home' anything there. Please help!

Hi Ruth -
Nope, I'm as new at this as anyone else, but I'm pretty computer literate so I figure things out quickly. I just dinked around the first couple of days and clicked on just about everything to figure out how it all worked. Plus, I have the advantage of knowing Photoshop, so I like to offer my help to anyone who needs it to make their avatar personalized. No charge - LOL!!!!
