Phew, got there. Even finding the obscure little place to login at the the bottom of the page took several minutes.

[Going Postal]

Welcome Mr Tachybaptus, All good.

Cool stuff, Bob, looks good.

I just need to figure out avatar updates via the gravatar thingy. Takes me back to the V-bulletin days of yore.

Ooooh J’arrive!

[stuartbeaker]

Here, Sir!

[Dorset Knob]

Yay!
Interpreted the secret coordinates, found the route on the correct map, knocked three times, uttered the password and finally arrived.
Mine’s a beer please, before we start.

[Dorset Knob]

Am I looking in the wrong place?
Trying to add my avatar. Looked at edit profile, but cannot see anyway to add an avatar.
Help!

[Going Postal]

It’s down the bottom, part of profile picture.

[Dorset Knob]

Sorry, I think I must be particurly stupid, as still cannot see how to add my avata.
I have gone to profile. Looked then to Edit but still can’t see any input boxes to upload my picture.

[Going Postal]

Profile.

I definitely don’t have that option on my profile page.

[Going Postal]

You definitely do. Once logged in there is a black ribbon menu above or to the left, on a phone I couldn’t tell you.

[Æthelberht]

Found it!

[IDrinkAndIKnowThings]

Yay. Finally here. Completely forgot that I’d used a different name on the beta site (that I never got into). Thanks guys.
Also screwed up on the password when that was set up. When the initial password was displayed, I expected the reset password button to take me to a reset password page, but the password went poof & I hadn’t noted it.
All I need now is to change my id to my ‘normal’…

If you update your ‘display name’ that is what people will see. If you want a new profile email me.

[Swiss Bob]

Good to see you all here, so far we have around seventy people signed up.

[OldTrout]

Image uploaded at last. Thanks, SB.

[Going Postal]

Yay!

[Northern Man]

Now let’s see if I’ve set my profile up properly ….

[unknownknowns]

How to set up an avatar?

On the edit profile page only these 4 items appear for me:

Name
Contact Info
About Yourself
Account

There is no ‘profile picture’ header/option listed.

[William]

You need to register with Gravatar – https://en.gravatar.com/ – and upload your physog. Then it magically appears, at least it did for me.

[unknownknowns]

Thanks for the Gravatar link.

It appears that ‘unknownknowns’ is already being used with WordPress.com.

Is WordPress.org the same group? I log-in here OK but fail on WordPress.com.

So, I guess that a white silhouette will have to suffice for now.

[romabob]

I’m in, a smart arse for embracing 21st Century information technology and getting in here.

P.S. I’m also old.

[Æthelberht]

The Anglo Saxons have arrived.

Thankyou for your efforts Swiss and Zip.

I’ll also echo what was just said above, there appears to be no option to select a custom avatar.

[romabob]

You have to go into your profile and then register with gravatar, easily done once registered.

[William]

Thanks to the sterling work of the Head Honcho and Assistant Honchos all looks good from currently sunny Nottingham.

[70sgirl]

Hello guys and galls.
Just wanted to say thanks to Bob and the team for setting this up, going-postal branching out.

[BBC Tumbleweed Watch]

By way of a test post, thanks for the effort!

[hughjeego]

Hello chaps & chapesses

Taps mic…

Ullo out there wide world

[Grimy Miner]

Good evening (or morning, depending on when you’re reading this) fellow Puffins. Good to have a place to chat isn’t it?

[Itchi Skrøtum]

I think I’ve cracked it.

[meltemian]

Just a test to see whether I need to set up my avatar as I am already set up on gravatar.

[meltemian]

Hooray!
