CALF Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi Chad... 1). I've been able to post my photo as my avatar..but it's NOT showing on my profile???? 2). What does the sentence: "CALF has not set their status" mean and how do I correct that? 3). What and why is there a 'warn status' bar showing under my avatar? 4). I logged onto photobucket in order to download some photo's onto this OCC site..but they did not transfer. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated ! Cheers, Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is your avatar and one is your profile photo. You should see both options in your account settings. Click on your name in the upper right and choose My Settings. Then choose the Profile tab. You should see links to both Change Photo and Change Avatar. 2. That's just a Twitter like status you can update. It's optional. If you go to the forum home page you can see a table in the right hand column for Recent Status Updates. That should give you an idea of what it is. 3. The "warn status" isn't something you need to worry about unless you cause some trouble on the forum. It's a way of tracking and warning members that are causing drama, posting spam, etc. 4. I'm not sure on the Photobucket thing since I don't use it. I imagine you need to download the photos from Photobucket to your computer first. Then create a Gallery on this site and upload them to the Gallery. If you click on the little Help link in the upper right of the page under your name you will find a section on Using the Gallery.
