Hi everyone, quite a lot of people seem to be struggling with changing their avatar picture, so I thought I'd make some destructions  Hopefully this will make sense, but if you're still having difficulty feel free to PM me a link to your chosen picture and I will happily do it for you. Alternatively, if you haven't got round to learning how to PM yet, just post the link on this fred. Anyway, here goes with the destructions... First, you need a picture. You can either use one of your own, which you've uploaded to Photobucket or similar, or find one on t'internet. Either way, you'll need to get the web address for said pic. Then go to your profile - you can do this by clicking on your name, either from the front page or from one of your own posts. Once in your profile, click on Modify Profile  Scroll down to where it says Avatar URL and copy and paste the link to your picture in the box.  Finally, go down to the bottom of the page and click Modify Profile  Hope that helps Flumpet.xx |

But what you really really need to know, newbies, is that Flumpet is very norty indeed and messes around with other people's avatars, signatures etc. Nothing on mine is what I actually put there.  Be warned. She can do this because for some obscure reason she managed to become part of the 'admin' team. All the other admin-ers do a sterling job. Flumpy mainly just tinkers with other people's stuff. |

Noise has just started coming out of the headphones on the computer table what can I do? My immediate reaction is to wish I didn't have teenagers living with me. Why is it doing this? help! Where is the button whivh tells you not to type anything after a certain amount of red wine intake?

Way north. And a bit east.
An old Mike Harding poem starts
"North of Oldham, south of Diggle,
There's a little place called Mumps".
I used to go to school in Oldham, and dwarfbean has been talking on the Beeb about Mumps bridge.
No idea why that post was on this thread. Yes part of the confuddledness.
Snow day today, I'm not attempting the M62, I'm having a "clear the ironing basket" day instead. And maybe a little walk out at some point, taking in a steaming mug of hot chocolate.

Dear New Members Please be aware that Apsi has posted a picture of me, Apple, not Flumps. Can't think why she was soooo confused! Could be because Flumps and Apple live in the North, are a similar height, and female!! But the lady in pink is, in fact, Apple!! Aspi can be a little bit norty at times  PS Flumps can be norty too! Most of the time she is very nice and a lovely person (please can I have a slice of cake now, Flumps? ) But what you really really need to know, newbies, is that Flumpet is very norty indeed and messes around with other people's avatars, signatures etc. Nothing on mine is what I actually put there. Be warned. She can do this because for some obscure reason she managed to become part of the 'admin' team. All the other admin-ers do a sterling job.

Now, only a couple of days ago you were saying you missed her....would you say that she is comparable to a visit to the dentists, say? |
