I cant find where to put an avatar or signature in. I have pictures but I cant find the links. I went to my control panel and all it says under settings and options is "Edit email and password" "Edit profile" "Edit options" and "Edit vbPlaza options" No edit signature or edit avatar!

Can someone please help me?

They should be available to you within 24 hours.
You need 5 posts for them to be available to you which you got today.
If by tomorrow afternoon, you still don't have access to them, please send a private message to me and I will help if I can.

Here is a link, that can be found in the "finding your way around the forums" sticky. It will give you an excellent overview about how to post pictures on TCS and answer your question about the 100 post requirement.

http://thecatsite.com/forums/showthr...21#post2155921

Regarding the Avatar...
As a kitten, you have a choice of 5 avatars. The number of choices you get goes up as your post count does, until you reach 700 posts, when you will be able to upload your own personal avatar. Or, since we have started having paid memberships, if you decide to pay to support TCS, you can upload a personal avatar at anytime.


Regarding the small cat pictures next to the Avatar....
I think that you are referring to TCS's Cat Pages.
Those can be accessed by looking at your TCS tool bar, you will see a button called Your Cats. Click that button, I will explain how to use it.

Have fun...If I can be of further help, just click on my username, send your question, I will get back to you asap and help if I can.

Your Cats is a great new feature here on TCS.


As you know, because I did not know the answer to your question about Your Cats, I forwarded your PM to one of our terrific Mods who found the answer for us.


Members must belong to TCS for 30 days before they have access to the Your Cats feature.

That was a great question...
now we know the answer.

See you at Your Cats soon.

Go to the thread you discovered and in the address bar, highlight the address. Click your control and your c button at the same time (this copies the address)

Go back to the game thread, hit your control and v button at the same time and the address should appear in your post.

We have a couple of great threads going where you can get gorgeous sigs made of your kitties! If you want signatures made, you can post a request along with links to (full-sized) pictures of your kitties here:

http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=141376

Then you can keep checking, and hopefully someone (or more!) in the membership will make you a signature, and post it for you in this thread:

http://thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141379

After that, you "right click" on the signature, and save it to your computer. You can then upload it to one of the free online hosting sites such as Photobucket, or Imageshack.

On the screen you're on right now, there's a menu bar to the left. You choose the one labeled "edit signature", and you click on that. You can then paste the " tag" that the hosting site will give you, after you upload the picture, into the box. Then click "save signature"

Sheesh! That sounds really complicated when I write it all out, but if you take it step-by-step, you can do it! If I didn't explain something correctly, or you need any more help with it, please feel free to PM me again, and I'd be glad to help [img]https://statich.thecatsite.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
