    You'll see some intellectuals here, people well versed in many subjects, and some morons.

    Read Moi now and believe Moi later,
    @DreamRyderX
    Just another "flash in the pan".
    Not destined for old timer status.
    Many indicators are in the profile.
    Tell Moi is ain't so!



    Probably another :flagcanada: who is avoiding
    declaring where he is uploading from. Y'think? / eh

    Hey..
    what does a Canadian and a Q-ball have in common.

    The harder you smack them
    The more English you get.

    Thanks, but I'm still in the dark where to create MY SIGNATURE.....I clicked my name as instructed, & it gave me a drop-down list of links, but the logical/obvious selections (Profile, Preferences, Avatar, Content) did not surrender any usable/specific information whatsoever on where or how to create a SIGNATURE? ..... Or any other customization features for that matter.....if they exist in this forum's design. If they do they are well hidden. Is there a "real" in depth HELP section where all these possibilities, &/or options are described in detail???

    Note: No Signature
    [​IMG]

    I've never used this type of obscure/unusual forum software before, & information about it is severely lacking, or might it be I need a higher level of skill-set to uncover it's location???

    An in depth FAQs or 'How To' thread would be helpful.

    Edit: I have found a XenForo Forum Software Youtube Tutorial a moment ago, but I am yet to watch it.

    It may unlock it's treasures....will look ASAP.

    Until then, Please advise..... Thanks

    This Forum Software is startin' to piss me off a bit.....now, I find that I only have a short time to edit my post......I would have read about that if the creators of this piece of crap software would have included a comprehensive FAQ or HELP Section for new members to read. The youtube video above is from 2014, & is probably NFG as a tutorial because this Forum has some, but not all of the same features....at least not that I'm aware of..........there's no way of actually knowing without a comprehensive HELP or FAQ Section......

    I'll keep on pluggin' away, but I do not have an unlimited sense of humor, so if any other forum newbie reads my post.....don't bother watching the youtube video I would have removed, if I weren't so limited by the forum edit timeout on this piece of software...... [​IMG]

    I believe there are certain features that only appear after a probation period has passed and editing signature is among them....just participate in the community so you can be evaluated and it will magically appear. This is simply a way to verify you are not an unpleasant entity.

    Thank you very much for this most valuable piece of valuable information............[​IMG]..........it would have saved me some earlier anguish.......is there anywhere I can go to find other relevant information about this Forum Software, or do I just have to wait until it miraculously appears out of thin air?

    So, I'm being evaluated? [​IMG]

    I will participate more after I better understand this forum software, & after I set up my own personal BBS Formatting Tools.......A Probationary Period..................It would have been real nice to have known that earlier, because some might think that not having the courtesy of relevant published documentation.........keeping people in the dark about these lil tidbits, could be taken as some sort of a cruel joke.

    Life is chuck full of twists & turns.........so again, thanks for the heads-up......& please, by all means, keep it coming if you think I'd appreciate volumes more (I surely would [​IMG] )........

    Like I said earlier, I do not have an unlimited sense of humor, but unless that limit is close to being reached, I will keep on keeping on......Knowledge is progress....... [​IMG]

    Maybe you're on some kind of probationary period before being granted extra privileges? [​IMG]

    Do not click your name and hold it down hard. Go easy and you get the primary menu that says signature on it. It also allows you to modify your experience.

    If I linger on my name a bit too long, I get the same menu you see and you can't easily add a signature there that way.

    This is the menu you want to use.

    There is reason this forum has a relatively intelligent and reasonable membership base as well as a limited Troll population. Each individual is evaluated for quality to avoid undesirable or destructive entities from infiltrating and disrupting. While this is initially an inconvenience you will appreciate the attention to detail later. I will seek out additional data for you to research shortly.

    Thanks for the links.....some I already found before my first post, but for the most part, they might be good places to post questions in.

    I think I'll simply post a few responses until I break through the glass ceiling & have access to all the features.

    What I think would really help would be a "How To" thread where the only input would be a 'how to' that has been proven, & posted using a template so, for the most part, the 'how to's' will have some uniformity......There could be a 'Sister Thread', so to speak, where questions & answers would reside, & those making the 'how to's' could harvest the information.

    Just like any other forum. Use it enough and you understand it better.

    It's to weed out the wackos - and even then some of them manage to circumvent it, as you'll soon find out. Just be patient ffs? Especially about the signature - what is it with you and signatures??
