Computer dumbie, I give up......

[Sparky10]

First Question:

I have been trying to post to the Travel Companion and keep getting a notice when I hit the submit button that says "Form Incomplete". Do I have to have a home page to post there?



Second Question:

How do I get one of those little pictures to show up under my name when I post here? I think they are called "Avatar's". Also, where do I find them to pick from? The screen for the bio page says "choose from the following list" but nothing is shown there.



I guess I am just a bit "computer challenged"! If you can't use a torque wrench on it, then what the heck. Thanks for any help.

Since I somehow got an avitar to work, I'll try to explain it.

Find a picture on the net, and download it. If it's not small, you'll have to make it small with photoshop, or some program like that.

Go to the "user CP" button,then "edit options"go to the bottom of the page where it says "Avitar".

Push the button next to it (think it says something like Browse?) and find the picture you saved on your hard drive. Select that, and click apply.

If this isnt exact, it should put you in the right direction. I'm not very computer literate.



Cant help with the travel companion. Sorry.

Scott,



The travel companion thing may be complaining because the home page field is blank. Just type something in it to satisfy it. I know it's dumb, but that worked for me.

The reality is.....

Scott.....



Computers are like dogs, they know when you're afraid of them.....



Remembering this helps me deal with my challeged computer skills.



Having said that, sorry I don't know the answer to either of your questions.
