Hi,

Not sure if this is the right location for this question so, moderators, please re-direct as you see fit.

I was keen to understand how I could include a signature and avatar in my posts. Thanks to guidance from Faye I found out that I could do this by accessing the Profile option in the User Control Panel. I was using my (apple) IPad when I read Faye's reply to my query. I immediately found the "signature" and "avatar" tabs and felt silly for not finding the answer myself. Then, when I logged on to the Forum via my laptop, using Windows 7, I discovered that the signature and avatar tabs were not accessible, in fact they did not even appear as options.

Has anyone else found this or a similar variance between using a "Mac" type machine and a "Windows" machine when accessing the Forum?

Cheers,

Oh my another innocent post that will turn to crap like the flu shot thread

As too the OP, no comment

I'm using Windows 7... and the option to edit a signature, or avatar... is available under the "Profile" option in the User Control Panel....

Might be something more to do with your iPlod...

Just for you Mantis

Ha ha, yea, who started that mess?

Thanks? I think?

It's not so much the operating system, but the browser you are using.

PCs >> Macs

Well seeing as I am using a Macbook and iPad and haven't had a signature problem changing I don't think its a mac or "iplod" prob Rupe But I have to agree with superveg its the browser some browsers don't allow the same type of features.

Macs >> PC

Thanks guys.

I'll try an update.

Hmm I can see that option in Windows 7: IE9 and IE10, as well as Chrome and Firefox on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.8.

Most likely is that you didn't click on the "Profile" link


If all else fails you can try replacing that windows laptop with a real computer, I hear Apple make some good ones

Start aquaponics AND buy a new MAC ?????

Shouldn't be a problem after Thursday's Powerball draw!

Thanks Nebbian.

Yep, sure did press the Profile tab.

Currently running windows 7 with IE9 and, it still ain't there. Gremlins?

Cheers

Try pressing Ctrl + Shift + Del
Select cookies and temp internet files
Press delete.

If this doesn't work... I am out of ideas
Other than recommending you try Chrome

Thanks again everyone who has tried to assist. I haven't been able to sort out the Windows machine but have managed to produce both an avatar and a signature line from my IPad.

Hope you are as excited/impressed/deliriously happy/overcome with feelings of love as I am.

Cheers,
