computering!

mirabella

I have realised that I am totally useless at this computer lark! Found a book amongst loads of others all stacked up in the back of wardrobe,computers for the over 50's.Have now realised that my glasses need updating so I can read it! So envy all you guys,you send all these wonderfull emoticans.How do you get those pics beside your names?? and a lady called Joan has photo's on here of her cat and beautifull winter scenes of where she lives!!!! I used to never had time to sit and play on a computer,or whatch tv,now have all the time there is and no nothing about either!!! Is it really a question of time,trial and error?Mirabella.

On the technical support forum there is an explanation of how to get a lovely picture next to your name - lucy145 posted the original query, it's a recent one. Go into your profile top begin with, then find change avatar. Ummm, as to the clever stuff that Joan does with the cats I have no idea how that works. Regarding the emoticons, there is a small selection to the left of the post screen, just place your cursor where you want the image to appear then click on said image - See? Easy! For more advance emoticons we tend to use a tried-and-trusted site called cosgan.de-animierte (I think). I have it as a tab (please don't ask any more questions about those, I struggle with this computery stuff too!) I will PM you with my ham-fisted words of explanation on that one.

Oh, PM = personal message, it's like an email facility on here. Click on your messages which is above. I will have a bash at doing that tomorrow after my meth stabbing. I hope that some of this helps. DD

Did you get my last PM to you? I explained in there how to do the emtioncons.

Read what I wrote then try and send me a message and I can tell you what to do.

You need to learn about Tabs next to do the pictures. So do the emtiocons for a few more times until you can do them send me a PM with some on then I can see what you are doing.

We will get you there. You have done well so far if you try to do too much at the same time you will confuse yourself.

Well I'm pleased that you have been able to follow my instructions.

By Christmas you will be able to do Christmas pictures as well
Let me know what you are trying to do

Love trish xxx

Hi Mirabela, the thing that Joan has with her photos is a link to another website where her photos are stored, I am not too sure if you can actually put photos on here as such.. There are more experienced folk on here than myself though..

Hope you have fun finding new things out...

Hi lupin and mirabella, what a pair of clever girls you are! I could be wrong lupin, (usually am) but I think you only have the choice that AC provide. There is a fair few to choose from but sadly not a lupin. DD
