Introduction

**simpswr** · 05-31-2007, 11:55 AM

Good afternoon . . I am a new user here, have been active on several other forums however. I am retired from 32 years of trying to find out where the dinosaurs all died . . for the last 8 years, I have been operating a small Computer Service part time.

I come to the forum mostly to learn, but hope to be able to help out from time to time.

You need to have 500 posts, or be invited to join the staff or donate - then you can choose your own avatar.

Well . . I donated, but still don't see a way to add a personal avatar . .

**Glaswegian** · 06-12-2007, 03:11 PM

This will just be a timing thing - Admin will need to make the necessary changes to your account. If still no change by this time tomorrow, send a PM to Horse.

Thanks for the donation BTW.

Oh I see - I would drop Horse a PM now then. Sorry, didn't realise it was that long...
