Hi Budgie
Click on message board, then you will see inthe line underneath USER CONTROL PANEL,Profile then Edit profile, click on this and type the relevant answers in the boxes.

where it says Location type in where you are, and then the same with occupation and then Interests, if you want to. When you have done this, click on the submit word and this will upload the information into the database and then it will show on your signature, which is the information on the top right hand side when you post on the messageboard.

Hope this helps
Regards
Peter

I used to have difficulty using a computer, but a lot of it is trial and error.

as for pics of your tourer, to post more than one at one time, just upload them at http://tinypic.com -> then copy and paste the code it gives you for 'messageboards' - it looks something like this [IMG] JARGON [/ IMG]

Good to see your getting the hang of it. By the way like your signature, there used to be a series called Budgie in the 70s and starred Adam Faith which I thought was great.

Anyway have fun with the computer

Peter :D

It sounds like Joe Ambroes. I met up with him last November 1st. at a Halloween show in Swansea.

I am attending the "Under Milk Wood Run" and the Swansea Festival of Transport on the 19th/20th June will you be there?
