I don't know how to get my PM's, to get a AVA, and make a SIG.
I go to my User CP and I go to the "Edit Avatar" place and I can't change it. I can't find a SIG place... I don't know where to see my PM's!! PLZ HELP!!!

maybe it has something to do with your level? i didn't realize there was a level where you couldn't get PMs... or maybe it doesn't show up till you get a PM? i'll send one to check.

Sarah, if you look at the top of any page in the forums when you are signed in, you'll see

Welcome Cat_Slave!

Within that box is a link to your Private Messages, and it will tell you how many you have and how many unread PMs you have too.

I'm 13... If I change the year of my birth date do you think it will work?

i don't think you can change it. the prevention is there to protect you.

again - you can't do PMs because you're a minor. there isn't anything you can do. if someone wants to send you a message, they'll have to use your email. i saw that as an option when i clicked on your user name.

We do not allow members under the age of 18 access to PMs. That's for your protection. Changing your birth date will not change the settings.

Well, IMO is easy to explain: you need to have Adult Cat status (30 days/100 posts) AND you need to 18 or older.

Caption This? Hmm...probably a glitch in the upgrade process. You might want to post that in the upgrade thread (in Announcements) which is gathering such wrinkles all in one place.
