Starting a new topic First of all,
please do not start a new topic here in the "Welcome" area--decide where you want your topic--General Discussion, Pre-treatment, Post-treatment, etc.
On the upper right hand corner of the topic area (again, General Discussion, Pre- or Post-treatment) is a small box that says "New Topic" You can introduce yourself there and let us get to know you.
Adding a "signature" and a "personal text" This gives us a frame of reference on you and helps us learn how to help you!
1. Click on the small box that says "profile" under the search box on any page
2. Find "modify profile" and click on it
3. Click on "Forum Profile Information"
4. You will see a page where you can enter "personal text" which appears to the left of everyone's posts, and a "signature, where you can post your particulars, links to Myspace or your Frappr site (no commercial sites, please)
5. At the bottom of the page, click "change profile"
To add a picture to your personal text:1. first you need a URL for your picture, which you can set up through Myspace or Frappr, which alot of us use. Go to
http://frappr.com/AcousticNeuroma and set yourself up a site. Upload the image you want in the "my photos" section. Be sure to crop it first into a square, or you will get a "funhouse" image of yourself (or your dog or bird or whatever)
2. Once you have the image on Frappr--RIGHT click on the image--you will get a looong number that starts with http:// and ends with jpg.
3. Press ctrl C on your computer (copy)
4. Bring up your profile page the same as you did above.
5. Paste the number into the bar in personal text.
6. Click at the bottom--change profile
To post a photo in a post:1. Follow steps 1--3
2. Bring up a reply page
3. Click the picture icon above the smilies
4. Paste the number between the brackets that come up
I am certainly no tech wizard like some of the people here, and there are probably other ways to get a pic to come up, but this is how I do it!
And Welcome to the Forum! We are glad you are here.
