Forum questions that need explaining?

First off, I pm'ed who I believed to be a moderator here how to load a picture in my profile, explaining I was unable to from your data base, I had no reply so I must have mistakenly believed I was contacting anyone of any importance. Matt. V I recall. If I am mistaken and said person has been busy, I can await reply.

If I can be pointed in the right direction as I feel out of place with a question mark as a representation of my self lol.

Secondly, midway through the general chat forum, from current, working backwards, there are several, well, many threads which blast out music at random intervals, which would not normally be a problem, but as I work whilst being slack and serf, causes problems. Am I alone on this one? Is there any way of being fore told about this as I am un easy about searching the rest of the site while at work, and my gambling interests at home, plus internet searches, are as welcome as a visit to the clap clinic.

Thirdly, is it customary for new people to receive such abuse?. Not that I have in any way been affected thus far, infact, every one that has replyed has been more than welcoming to my opening post.

As a last input for this post, am I free to post in the fruit machine section and say about my day/experiance when I play from day to day?

Many thanks.

Alfie.

Thank you for your to the point answers, they have been noted.

Though, and I am well aware petty, can still not obtain a picture, even a comical Simpsons or Football badge. Do I require a minimal post count to do so the same as required for a footer note, signiture I believe its called, to activate it?

Please excuse my punctuation and awful spelling, it is my rest day and have partaken in several beverages before entering this site.!

alfie ,as far as i'm aware you need a minimum post count of 10 to select a signature this may be needed for an avatar aswell although i'm not 100% sure with regards to the avatar.

sorry about about all the autoplay music you may have encountered this has not been done in recent months here and would be only encountered during a period of several months in the forums history ,so as you work your way up to date or further backwards this should become no longer a problem.

welcome to the forum by the way.

Hmmm, seems I may have had one too many spritzers last night. I really should stop at 5 or there abouts. Glad I have some holiday saved for, emergency use. Feel free to bring the salt pot and sprinkle at will over my employers answer phone whilst he has a heart wrenching story about my great nana, that has died for the 8th time in 15 years !.

Anyhow, as I find my self with a free house, and a good few hours off sick, I will get to grips with this picture business and then post in the general bandit section at how terrible my gaming knowledge is, and point out exactly how not to play a bandit while arguing the point with the note in slot, that infact, credit cards are real and legal tender, and they should except said plastic instead of getting shirty and screaming bloody murder at me in a decibel equal to a cat being probed, several times by a randy American, then being turned off by an irate landlord.

I'm getting side tracked, feel free to pull me up on that as I frequent more often, I can talk for England and will no doubt bore the entire site into a coma.

Thank you all for the replys last night, and I am going to get some sort of non question mark picture by the end of the day.. :D

:o ops:

Select picture, confirm, then save.

Not bad, 2 weeks of moaning and I do it in 13 seconds after I actually read the save option instead of exiting after loading.

Be patient please, lol, I can build a 747 from the ground up, but I will be damned if I can figure out this forum malarkey! :roll:
