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?

[ReneBean 3]

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.

:]

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?

[ReneBean 3]

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.
