Hi I am new to the site and have been doing alot of reading. I'd like to interact but am having a hard time finding out how. Is there a directions page??????

Well, you started a thread - and that's the hardest part... You can be sure you have all your information in the User CP so people can send you PM's (private messages) and e-mails. Folks pretty much chat by appointment only...

If you have specific things you want to read about - click on search (above) and type in a key word or two. It will bring up all the threads that mention the key words.

Welcome!

What is a CP though and where do I enter the info?

Top left of this screen - on the blue bar it says "User CP". I would have to guess, but I am assuming CP is Customer Profile - that would be you.

If you double click on that, it brings up a screen where you can put in a signature and an avatar and some information about you so any member can check you out.

Just play around in there - it's pretty user-friendly.

:]

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize I needed to do that. Hope what I did works!

It worked...Thanks, ReneBean!

I think I'm getting there -- I have a snowman now My status is that I am awaiting the appt with the surgeon . Have been in a bariatric program for 3 months now. All I need now is a surgery date!

I live to serve...

:]

That seems to be a common theme with us heavy gals!

Party on, Fellow Bandsters. And if you have actual pictures of yourselves, we selfishly request that you use those for your avatars.

:]

You're the guru, how to I paste one in?

Click on Edit Avatar (in User CP) and scroll down to the bottom of the page. There should be a blank dot next to the words "use custom avatar". Click it and browse for your photo.

Photo sizing/cropping is out of my experience. I got Penni60/Penni Merrick to help me with that. :]

Gotta fly, folks. It has been a long day and it's time for me to head on outta here.

Talk to Y'all tomorrow.

IF you got a pic you want to be made into an Avatar then send it to Penni60@aol.com and I will take care of it for you.

I will also send you directions on how to add the pic as well.

thanks Penni, I wil take one and send it!
